Title Metabolic Modeling of Spatial Heterogeneity of Biofilms in Microbial Fuel Cells

Excerpt Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are alternative energy resources that generate electricity from organic matter, where microorganisms such as the Geobacter species oxidize organic waste and transfer electrons to an electrode. Mathematical models are used to study biofilm processes, in hopes of developing MFCs into commercial applications. Existing biofilm models are based on Nernst-Monod type expressions, […]

Title Controlling Iron Defeciency Anemia and Preventing Calcium Deficiency in Bangladesh Children: A Novel Approach Using a Multi-micronutrient Powder (MNP) Formulation

Excerpt Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and calcium deficiency affect millions of children globally. Sprinkles is a multi-micronutrient powder (MNP) that has successfully treated anemic infants and can be modified to include additional micronutrients. The efficacy for treating IDA and preventing calcium deficiency requires evaluation due to potential nutrient interactions. We assessed the efficacy of Sprinkles MNP […]

Title Design and Development of a Novel Device for Tissue Viscoelasticity Measurement

Excerpt This thesis presents a novel device for measuring the viscoelastic properties of biological tissue. The ability to measure the mechanical properties of tissue is of special interest for many medical applications; ranging from disease diagnostics to surgical operations and simulations. In practice, physicians use a technique called palpation to detect the presence of viscoelastic property […]

Title Straight Kits F/or Queer Bodies? An Inter-textual Study of the Spatialization and Normalization of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Soccer League Sport Space

Excerpt Sport is an inherently hegemonic hyper masculinity-building project. Therefore, tensions exist when non-hegemonic groups reclaim sport. This thesis questions how normativity is constructed and resisted in non-normative sporting spaces. Drawing from semi-structured interviews, participant observations, self-reflection qualitative methods and post-structural, spatial and post-colonial theory, I problematize how sportsmanship (sportspersonship) is “cultivated” in a lesbian, gay, […]
