281 Ansari, AdamDesigning Polymer Coated Carbon Nanotube Detectors for Alkane VaporsAlkane vapors are difficult to be detected in oil pipelines until a leak exceeds 1% of the total flow. Yet, an alkane leak can cause severe security, environmental, and human health problems if it is not identified or addressed. Detecting low concentrations of alkanes will lead to the detection of s...2014
282 Munn, JacksonDetermining microbial community composition and methane flux or red butte canyon sediment over timeMethane is a potent greenhouse gas that is released from the soil into the atmosphere, which contributes heavily to global warming. One potential way of reducing the amount of methane in the air is through studying methane consuming bacteria (methanotrophs) and how they interact with other microbes ...2022
283 Gajiwala, SnehalDetermining the variability of depressive brain circuitry among healthy subjects for deep brain stimulationDeep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is being evaluated to treat Treatment-Resistant Depression, though it has shown mixed results. We believe that variability within the fiber tracts of the brain may account for these outcome differences. In this study, we attempt to characterize this potential variation....Brain stimulation - Therapeutic use - Research; Depression, Mental - Treatment - Research; Deep brain stimulation; Depressive brain circuitry; Fiber tracts; Tractography2016-05
284 Buchanan, Kathryn LeighDeveloping and Evaluating a Resilience Curriculum for Nurse Residency ProgramsPurpose: There is a nursing shortage worldwide, which is partially due to nurses leaving the workforce prematurely. This phenomenon has been particularly prevalent within emergency, critical care, and oncology. This burnout has been linked to a concept termed "compassion fatigue", where nurses' abil...2017

287 Luo, ShirleyDevelopment of a bioabsorbalbe active release antimicrobial coating for orthopedic implantsOrthopedic implantations often create an opportunity for biofilm-related infections to arise. Patients infected with biofilm must often undergo additional surgeries for repair or replacement, which puts them at a greater risk of osteomyelitis, sepsis, and other complications including death [17].

288 Rahislic, EmirDevelopment of a Copper-Based Oxygen Carrier for Chemical Looping with Oxygen UncouplingChemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) is a CO2-capture technology that is a special form of chemical looping combustion (CLC). It requires an oxygen carrier that cycles between two reactors picking up oxygen from one and delivering it to another for the combustion of solid fuels. An oxygen ...2017
289 Robertson, Stuart J.Development of a Microbial Fuel Cell for Hypersaline Wastewater Treatment ApplicationsThe proper treatment of wastewater generated by human activity is of paramount importance for the preservation of the quality of water sources. For effluents containing high salt concentrations, treatment requires expensive methods that require high energy usage and additional chemicals. Halotoleran...2019
290 Sanders, SaraDevelopment of a novel, coumarin-europium sensor for reactive oxidizing speciesThe synthetic framework has been developed for two fluorescent probes of Reactive Oxidizing Species (RoxS) based on a coumarin-europium fluorescence pair. The coumarin moiety's selectivity for hydrogen peroxide coupled with 620 nm shifted emission of the europium will make these novel sensors biolog...Reactive Oxygen Species - analysis2012-05
