Single Particle Tracking: Analysis Techniques For Live Cell Nanoscopy., Peter K. Relich
Single Particle Tracking: Analysis Techniques For Live Cell Nanoscopy., Peter K. Relich
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
Single molecule experiments are a set of experiments designed specifically to study the properties of individual molecules. It has only been in the last three decades where single molecule experiments have been applied to the life sciences; where they have been successfully implemented in systems biology for probing the behaviors of sub-cellular mechanisms. The advent and growth of super-resolution techniques in single molecule experiments has made the fundamental behaviors of light and the associated nano-probes a necessary concern among life scientists wishing to advance the state of human knowledge in biology. This dissertation disseminates some of the practices learned in …
Effects Of Time And Diffusion Phase-Lags In A Thick Circular Plate Due To A Ring Load With Axisymmetric Heat Supply, R. Kumar, N. Sharma, P. Lata
Effects Of Time And Diffusion Phase-Lags In A Thick Circular Plate Due To A Ring Load With Axisymmetric Heat Supply, R. Kumar, N. Sharma, P. Lata
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The purpose of this paper is to depict the effect of time, thermal, and diffusion phase lags due to axisymmetric heat supply in a ring. The problem is discussed within the context of DPLT and DPLD models. The upper and lower surfaces of the ring are traction-free and subjected to an axisymmetric heat supply. The solution is found by using Laplace and Hankel transform techniques. The analytical expressions of displacements, stresses and chemical potential, temperature and mass concentration are computed in transformed domain. Numerical inversion technique has been applied to obtain the results in the physical domain. Numerically simulated results …
Method To Measure Indoor Radon Concentration In An Open Volume With Geiger-Mueller Counters: Analysis From First Principles, Mark P. Silverman
Method To Measure Indoor Radon Concentration In An Open Volume With Geiger-Mueller Counters: Analysis From First Principles, Mark P. Silverman
Faculty Scholarship
A simple method employing a pair of pancake-style Geiger-Mueller (GM) counters for quantitative measurement of radon activity concentration (activity per unit volume) is described and demonstrated. The use of two GM counters, together with the basic theory derived in this paper, permit the detection of alpha particles from decay of 222Rn and progeny ( 218 Po , 214 Po ) and the conversion of the alpha count rate into a radon concentration. A unique feature of this method, in comparison with standard methodologies to measure radon concentration, is the absence of a fixed control volume. Advantages afforded by the reported …

Classical Transport In Disordered Systems, Antonios Papaioannou
Classical Transport In Disordered Systems, Antonios Papaioannou
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This thesis reports on the manifestation of structural disorder on molecular transport and it consists of two parts. Part I discusses the relations between classical transport and the underlying structural complexity of the system. Both types of molecular diffusion, namely Gaussian and non-Gaussian are presented and the relevant time regimes are discussed. In addition the concept of structural universality is introduced and connected with the diffusion metrics. One of the most robust techniques for measuring molecular mean square displacements is magnetic resonance. This method requires encoding and subsequently reading out after an experimentally controlled time, a phase ϕ to the …
Tunable Controlled Release Of Molecular Species From Halloysite Nanotubes, Divya Narayan Elumalai
Tunable Controlled Release Of Molecular Species From Halloysite Nanotubes, Divya Narayan Elumalai
Doctoral Dissertations
Encouraged by potential applications in rust coatings, self-healing composites, selective delivery of drugs, and catalysis, the transport of molecular species through Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), specifically the storage and controlled release of these molecules, has attracted strong interest in recent years. HNTs are a naturally occurring biocompatible nanomaterial that are abundantly and readily available. They are alumosilicate based tubular clay nanotubes with an inner lumen of 15 nm and a length of 600-900 nm. The size of the inner lumen of HNTs may be adjusted by etching. The lumen can be loaded with functional agents like antioxidants, anticorrosion agents, flame-retardant agents, …
Understanding Electrical Conduction In Lithium Ion Batteries Through Multi-Scale Modeling, Jie Pan
Understanding Electrical Conduction In Lithium Ion Batteries Through Multi-Scale Modeling, Jie Pan
Theses and Dissertations--Chemical and Materials Engineering
Silicon (Si) has been considered as a promising negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high theoretical capacity, low discharge voltage, and low cost. However, the utilization of Si electrode has been hampered by problems such as slow ionic transport, large stress/strain generation, and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). These problems severely influence the performance and cycle life of Si electrodes. In general, ionic conduction determines the rate performance of the electrode, while electron leakage through the SEI causes electrolyte decomposition and, thus, causes capacity loss. The goal of this thesis research is to design Si …
