The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach, using a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The research population comprised administrative and academic leaders from several colleges within the University of Mosul. One hundred and forty questionnaires were …

An Innovative Evaluation Technique For Assessing Metallic Color Matching Performance In Electrostatic Rotary Bell Sprayers (Erbss): A Methodology Based On Droplet Size Distribution, Adnan Ahmad, Supitchaya Cherdkeattikul, Vincent Dattilo, Richard Ostin, Joseph Balmas, Nelson Akafuah

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

Electrostatic Rotary Bell Sprayers (ERBSs) are pivotal in automotive painting, offering high efficiency and superior surface finishes through a dual-phase atomization process. Various factors significantly influence droplet size distributions, including rotational speed, paint rheology, and flow rate. Previous studies concluded that the geometry of the rotary cup also plays a critical role, as different designs can yield varied atomization outcomes. Rayleigh’s theory underpins the understanding of ligament formation and the conditions affecting droplet disintegration. Yet, it falls short of addressing the complexities introduced by colloids and particulate flakes in metallic paints. This is particularly important, as metallic flakes' density and …

Developing Biodegradable Packaging Films And Beads From Agricultural Residues, Sandeep Paudel, Santosh Rijal, Srinivas Janaswamy, Madhav P. Nepal

iLEARN Teaching Resources

Agricultural waste is produced in large amounts worldwide. These are often discarded despite being valuable sources of cellulose and renewable, biodegradable products. At the same time, rising environmental concerns about petroleum-based plastic packaging have created demand for sustainable alternatives. Introducing K-12 students to biodegradable packaging materials developed from agricultural waste can enhance understanding of sustainability, basic materials science, and circular bioeconomy concepts while encouraging interest in STEM fields. Another concern is the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in drinking water, which can pose serious risks to human health. Traditional coagulation agents, such as ferric and aluminum salts, are less effective …

Monte Carlo Analysis Of Dose Distribution In Tumour And Adjacent Healthy Tissues During 192Ir Hdr Brachytherapy In The Presence Of Gold Nanoparticles, Damian P. Tippe, Innocent J. Lugendo

Tanzania Journal of Science

High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy using ¹⁹²Ir is an effective modality for cancer treatment; however, its therapeutic efficiency is often constrained by unintended radiation exposure to healthy tissues surrounding the tumour. Fortunately, the incorporation of high atomic number (Z) nanoparticles as radiosensitizers has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance tumour dose while sparing adjacent normal tissues. In this study, the dose distribution in tumour and nearby healthy tissues during 192Ir HDR brachytherapy was investigated in the presence of gold (Au) nanoparticles using Monte Carlo simulations based on the Geant4 toolkit. Radial dose distributions and anisotropy characteristics were analysed …

The Role Of Zinc Precursor Concentration In Modulating The Structural, Optical, And Electrical Properties Of Sol-Gel Derived Czts Thin Films, Justine John Tibaijuka

Tanzania Journal of Science

This study reports on CZTS thin films fabricated by sol–gel spin coating using zinc acetate dihydrate, copper acetate dihydrate, tin chloride, and thiourea dissolved in methanol with monoethylamine as a stabilizer. The films were annealed rapidly at 540 °C by using an RTP furnace. Results show the significant influence of zinc concentration on films’ properties with band gap evolution between 1.46 and 1.7 eV, along with high absorption coefficients exceeding 10⁴ cm⁻¹ in the visible range. Structurally, the films evolved from poorly crystalline at low Zn content to well- crystallized, (112)-oriented kesterite near stoichiometry. However, excessive Zn caused slight degradation …

Roots Or Resources?: Understanding Latino Student Leadership In Higher Education, Kelly Parra

Honors Theses

For the purpose of this study, Latino/a refers to individuals who are from Latin America or of Latin American descent. The term Latino/a is used because it captures individuals from a variety of Latino American cultural backgrounds and is not limited to a single national origin or ethnic subgroup (Pratt Institute Libraries, n.d).

Student leadership development is often fostered with involvement in student organizations, leadership programs, mentorship opportunities, and other institutional resources provided through higher education (Lebrón et al., 2017). However, for many students’ Latino/a leadership-related skills may begin developing long before entering college through family responsibilities, cultural experiences, and …

Biology Faculty publications

Many subterranean ecosystems are chronically energy limited, yet the mechanisms governing microbial community assembly and metabolic function under extreme carbon scarcity remain poorly resolved. We combined 16S rRNA gene sequencing with community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) to examine how physicochemical gradients regulate microbial diversity and carbon-use strategies across a surface-subsurface transition into the Deep Darkness zone of Indiana Caverns. Progressive isolation from surface inputs resulted in sharp declines in microbial biomass, total organic carbon, and nitrogen, accompanied by increased water content and C:N ratios, indicating strong attenuation of allochthonous organic matter and intensified resource filtering. Microbial communities spanned 42 bacterial phyla, …
