Interaction Of Fibrinogen With Fibronectin: Purification And Characterization Of A Room Temperature-Stable Fibrinogen-Fibronectin Complex From Normal Human Plasma, Ayman E. Ismail
Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
A fibrinogen-fibronectin complex (γγ’pdFI-pdFN) was purified from normal human plasma using a sequence of cryoprecipitation, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and DEAE Sepharose chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) under reducing condition showed both a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of fibrinogen (FI) to fibronectin (FN) as well as a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 of γg to gγ’. The γγ’pdFI-pdFN complex was non-covalent in nature as it was disrupted by affinity adsorption to Gelatin Sepharose where pdFN bound strongly and the disrupted γγ’pdFI fell through the chromatographic column. Surprisingly, the purified γγ’pdFI-pdFN complex was more broadly thermally stable than plasma FI (pdFI) …

As the Navy transitions to a more electrical fleet, the electrical architectures must adapt to the changing load profiles. With the introduction of electrical propulsion and new types of electrical energy based weapons, load profiles have become higher power and more transient than ever seen before – especially during directed energy weapon operation. One issue that has become apparent with the introduction of these transient loads is the ability of traditional generation sources, such as fossil fuel generators, to power them. Generators are stiff sources of power which suffer efficiency losses when they deviate from operating at a constant maximum …

Electrical Engineering Dissertations - Archive
In many data acquisition applications such as in sensor networks, the acquired sensor measurements contain information about multiple sources placed at different spatial locations. Such sources could correspond to different e.g., thermal sources or transmitters placed at different locations inside the sensed field. Before applying any statistical inference task, it is essential to identify which groups of sensors acquire observations that contain information about the same sources. This is essential to avoid `mixing' observations that contain information about uncorrelated sources. In this thesis, the goal is to cluster sensors into different groups based on their source information content about the …

Exploiting Higher-Order Statistics In Radar Data For Scattering Center Isolation, Jeffrey Brandon Hall
Electrical Engineering Dissertations - Archive
Embedded in each observation of a RADAR system is an amalgam of scattered signals. An important function of RADAR signal processing is to resolve or separate this mixture of target signals. Imaging using RADAR data is a well-established area of research. Conventional RADAR imaging methods use a two-dimensional Fourier transform to back-project RADAR measurements to scattering sources [1]. The Fourier transform based imaging techniques have resolution limited by the bandwidth and spatial diversity of available data samples. Super-resolution methods such as MUSIC overcome the resolution limitation by employing an alternate model for the measured data [2]. These techniques are capable …
