Analyzing The Shark Paleoecology Of Coastal Georgia From The Miocene And Pliocene Epochs, Joshua Lee Clark, Benjamin Angalet Dec 2023

Analyzing The Shark Paleoecology Of Coastal Georgia From The Miocene And Pliocene Epochs, Joshua Lee Clark, Benjamin Angalet

Georgia Journal of Science

The field of shark paleoecology often yields indecisive conclusions based on the limited fossilization of their anatomical structures, with the exception of their teeth. The majority of the Atlantic coast has been studied regarding the presence of certain prehistoric shark species from the Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene epochs. However, information pertaining to the Georgia coast and understanding its potential community structure is relatively understudied. This study was conducted in which thousands of fossil shark specimens and subsequent marine fauna were collected from dredge spoils created by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE): Savannah District. A total of 5,127 fossil …


Selective Production Of Levoglucosan (Lg) From Pyrolysis Of Date Pits And Its Catalytic Transformation Into Transportation Fuels, Ala Hamid Higazi Dec 2023

Selective Production Of Levoglucosan (Lg) From Pyrolysis Of Date Pits And Its Catalytic Transformation Into Transportation Fuels, Ala Hamid Higazi

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

Levoglucosan (LG) or (1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose) signifies an important sugar derivative that is produced in appreciable quantities from thermochemical and biochemical degradation of biomass. It is often regarded as an important platform chemical for the synthesis of value-added products, most notably styrene and furans. The work in this thesis entails two broad aims; to produce LG from pyrolysis of date pits; and then convert the LG into transportation fuels through a hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction. The particular choice of date pits stems from its local relative abundance as a waste biomass. Aiming to further improve the yield of levoglucosan yields from pyrolysis of …

Investigation Of Small-Scale Aerospike Nozzles For Cold Thrust Applications, Mohamed Hassan Almansoor Dec 2023

Investigation Of Small-Scale Aerospike Nozzles For Cold Thrust Applications, Mohamed Hassan Almansoor

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

The aerospike engine appears to be a vision for engineers who are constantly seeking to better rockets in a world where one percent improvement is considered a massive growth. Aerospike nozzles are a very promising option and a near-term alternative of the conventional de Laval nozzles in the world of propulsion systems. Up to date there have been a few aerospikes that have advanced to this point at time. However, none have been used or utilized on a rocket nor any application to date. The aerospike nozzle capabilities are relatively more advanced than the conventional de Laval nozzle due to …


Examining The Digital Divide In Education During Covid-19 From Teachers’ Perspectives, Elife Ceviker, Tuba Gezer Dec 2023

Examining The Digital Divide In Education During Covid-19 From Teachers’ Perspectives, Elife Ceviker, Tuba Gezer

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in unprecedented school closures in education, leading online education to become “the new normal.” Concurrently, emergency online instruction further exacerbated what is known as the digital divide, one of the contributing factors to inequality of educational opportunities. The purpose of our research is to examine in what ways the digital divide influences teachers and students during COVID-19. A better understanding of teachers' perceptions of teaching online and the digital divide can offer more information for effective teaching during the pandemic. In this multi-method study, researchers collected data from 36 teachers through Likert scale questions …

Multifunctional Composite With Hybrid Carbon Fiber And Carbonaceous Coconut Particle Reinforcement, Foster Feni, Maryam Jahan, Rong Zhao, Guoqiang Li, Guang-Lin Zhao, Patrick F. Mensah Dec 2023

Multifunctional Composite With Hybrid Carbon Fiber And Carbonaceous Coconut Particle Reinforcement, Foster Feni, Maryam Jahan, Rong Zhao, Guoqiang Li, Guang-Lin Zhao, Patrick F. Mensah

Faculty Publications

The utilization of multifunctional composite materials presents significant advantages in terms of system efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and miniaturization, making them highly valuable for a wide range of industrial applications. One approach to harness the multifunctionality of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is to integrate it with a secondary material to form a hybrid composite. In our previous research, we explored the use of carbonaceous material derived from coconut shells as a sustainable alternative to inorganic fillers, aiming to enhance the out-of-plane mechanical performance of CFRP. In this study, our focus is to investigate the influence of carbonized coconut shell particles on …

Lethal Injections: Protocol Plagued With Secrecy And Flaws Ushering In The New Era Of Botched Executions, Willow Van Skyhawk Dec 2023

Lethal Injections: Protocol Plagued With Secrecy And Flaws Ushering In The New Era Of Botched Executions, Willow Van Skyhawk

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

Since its adoption as the primary means of execution in the United States, lethal injections have exasperated issues of cruel and unusual punishment. Despite having the best public sentiment, lethal injection protocols are plagued with serious ethical concerns. The government’s attempt to humanize the death penalty resulted in medical abuse and botched executions. This Note explores such malign lethal injection protocols, the remedial efforts made to address such protocols, and whether the legal injection system can exist without harm. The reformation of lethal injection protocols is a societal responsibility. Americans must decide how comfortable society should be with the inconsistency …

Pullout Strength Of Welded Wire And Ribbed Strip Reinforcement In Lightweight Cellular Concrete Backfill Behind Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall, Mathew Robert Bueckers Dec 2023

Pullout Strength Of Welded Wire And Ribbed Strip Reinforcement In Lightweight Cellular Concrete Backfill Behind Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall, Mathew Robert Bueckers

Theses and Dissertations

Lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) is a cement, water, and air entrained mixture that consists of 25-80% voids. The air voids reduce the material strength but also decrease the material weight. Due to its lightweight properties LCC is an attractive alternative to soil backfill for retained structures, such as mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. Although LCC is widely used behind MSE walls, limited information exists regarding the pullout strength of MSE wall reinforcements in LCC backfill. This research attempts to fill the knowledge gap through performing pullout tests on welded wire and ribbed strip reinforcements in MSE walls to determine the …

Techniques In Multi-Omics Data Integration To Develop A Novel Proteogenomics Framework For Identification Of Proteoforms, Kanishka Manna

Theses and Dissertations

Multi-omics experimental approaches are becoming a mainstream practice in systems biology underlining the need to design new integrative techniques and applications to enable the multi-scale characterization of different types of diseases for targeted therapy. Proteogenomics, a sub-field within the broad field of multi-omics incorporates techniques to integrate genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics data for efficient identification of novel proteoforms or protein isoforms. There are multitude of challenges when applying proteogenomics analyses, such as improper integration of each omics data type, missing structural annotations, inefficient identification of splice-junctions, novel genes, etc. This dissertation will outline a novel and integrative proteogenomics pipeline that …
