Rheology Of Enzyme Liquefied Corn Stover Slurries: The Effect Of Solids Concentration On Yielding And Flow Behavior, Ryan Szeto, Jonathan C. Overton, Antonio Freitas Dos Santos, Clark Eby, Nathan S. Mosier, Eduardo Ximenes, Michael R. Ladisch, Kendra Erk

School of Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

The measurement of yield stress and shear thinning flow behavior of slurries formed from unpretreated corn stover at solids loadings of 100–300 g/L provides a key metric for the ability to move, pump, and mix this lignocellulosic slurry, particularly since corn stover slurries represent a major potential feedstock for biorefineries. This study compared static yield stress values and flow hysteresis of corn stover slurries of 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 g/L, after these slurries were formed by adding pellets to a cellulase enzyme solution (Celluclast 1.5 L) in a fed-batch manner. A rotational rheometer was used to quantitate relative …

Clinical Assessment Of Ventricular Wall Stress In Understanding Compensatory Hypertrophic Response And Maladaptive Ventricular Remodeling, Takeshi Tsuda Sep 2021

Clinical Assessment Of Ventricular Wall Stress In Understanding Compensatory Hypertrophic Response And Maladaptive Ventricular Remodeling, Takeshi Tsuda

Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers

Ventricular wall stress (WS) is an important hemodynamic parameter to represent myocardial oxygen demand and ventricular workload. The normalization of WS is regarded as a physiological feedback signal that regulates the rate and extent of ventricular hypertrophy to maintain myocardial homeostasis. Although hypertrophy is an adaptive response to increased biomechanical stress, persistent hypertrophic stimulation forces the stressed myocardium into a progressive maladaptive process called ventricular remodeling, consisting of ventricular dilatation and dysfunction in conjunction with the development of myocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis, and fibrosis. The critical determinant of this pathological transition is not fully understood, but an energetic mismatch due to …

A Comprehensive Review Of In-Situ Polymer Gel Simulation For Conformance Control, Baojun Bai, Jianqiao Leng, Mingzhen Wei

Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Gel treatment has been widely applied in mature oilfields to improve sweep efficiency and control water production. Correct numerical simulation is of major importance to the optimization design and prediction of a successful gel treatment. However, there exist many problems in current simulation studies in published literature. This paper first presents a comprehensive review on the major factors that have been considered at different gelation stages during gel treatment, the models used in the commercial/in-house simulators, and current numerical simulation studies on both laboratory and field scales. Then we classify the current in-situ gel numerical simulation problems as 1, deficient …

Hybrid Scenario Generation Method For Stochastic Virtual Bidding In Electricity Market, Dongliang Xiao,, Wei Qiao Sep 2021

Hybrid Scenario Generation Method For Stochastic Virtual Bidding In Electricity Market, Dongliang Xiao,, Wei Qiao

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

Stochastic optimization can be used to generate optimal bidding strategies for virtual bidders in which the uncertain electricity prices are represented by using scenarios. This paper proposes a hybrid scenario generation method for electricity price using a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model and historical data. The electricity price spikes are first identified by using an outlier detection method. Then, the historical data are decomposed into base and spike components. Next, the base and spike component scenarios are generated by using the SARIMA- and historical data-based methods, respectively. Finally, the electricity price scenarios are obtained by combining the base …

The Physics Of Slot-Die And Gravure Coating Associated With Precision Thin Films And Coating Defects, Robert E. Malakhov Sep 2021

The Physics Of Slot-Die And Gravure Coating Associated With Precision Thin Films And Coating Defects, Robert E. Malakhov

Nanoscience and Microsystems ETDs

Enabling future printable and flexible electronic (PFE) devices and technologies requires overcoming the technical challenge of manufacturing precision thin films and features at scale. Coating- and print-feature functionality for PFEs is imparted with dispersed active particulate inks that provide electronic properties via slot-die coating, a pre-metered film-deposition process, and gravure printing, a high-throughput, precision process. Both are poised to be ideal manufacturing technologies for PFEs but require further research to understand particulate effects in defect formation and processability. Therefore, overcoming the technical challenges of precision, throughput, and the complexities of particulate inks is the purpose of this work. For slot-die …

Growth Of Invasive Plant Species Communities As A Substantial Issue In Post-Mining Land Development, Paweł Olszewski Sep 2021

Growth Of Invasive Plant Species Communities As A Substantial Issue In Post-Mining Land Development, Paweł Olszewski

Journal of Sustainable Mining

This article concerns the issue of the appearance and growth of invasive plant species in land degraded by hard coal mining and the repercussions of this process, particularly in the context of land reclamation. These species, such as Canadian goldenrod or Japanese knotweed, which nearly always form extensive and monocultural patches of vegetation, contribute to the displacement of both native species and those introduced as part of biological restoration. In 2015, the Central Mining Institute in Katowice prepared a land development concept for a part of the area of the former KWK Paryż mine in Dąbrowa Górnicza (Upper Silesian Industrial …

Climate Change And Utah Ski Resorts: Impacts, Perceptions, And Adaptation Strategies, Emily J. Wilkins, Hadia Akbar, Tara C. Saley, Rachel Hager, Colten M. Elkin, Patrick Belmont, Courtney G. Flint, Jordan W. Smith

Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications

Climate change is a threat to ski resorts, the ski industry, and mountain communities that rely on ski tourism. Ski resorts may be able to mitigate some of the social and economic impacts caused by climate change with proactive adaptation strategies. Using historical weather data, future climate projections, and interviews with ski resort managers in Utah (United States), this research investigates the effects of climate change on ski resorts across the state. We examine temperature change at all resorts within the state from 1980–2018 and climate projections from 2021–2100 under different climate change scenarios (RCPs 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5). We …

A Basic Qualitative Exploration Into The Academic Persistence Of Minority Nursing Students In Minority Nursing Programs, Marta S. Coleman Sep 2021

A Basic Qualitative Exploration Into The Academic Persistence Of Minority Nursing Students In Minority Nursing Programs, Marta S. Coleman

Dissertations

The academic persistence of minority nursing students has become a healthcare concern due to health disparities in minority groups. Evidence suggests that receiving healthcare from healthcare providers of the same ethnic or cultural background as the population served reduces health disparities, increases positive health outcomes, and decreases overall healthcare costs. Unlike previous studies of minority nursing students' persistence, this study was conducted solely in minority nursing programs. The problem addressed in this basic qualitative study was that a significant number of minority nursing students were not persisting to graduation in minority nursing programs. The purpose of this study was to …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have been advocated to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits. The uptake of NbS differs regionally with some countries exhibiting greater uptake than others. The success of NbS also differs regionally with varying environmental conditions and social-ecological processes. In many regions, the body of knowledge, particularly around the efficacy of such efforts, remains fragmented. Having an “inventory” or “tool box” of regionally-trialed methods, outcomes and lessons learnt can improve the evidence base, inform adaptive management, and ultimately support the uptake of NbS. Using Malaysia as a case …
