Effects of Experimental Scale on the Adsorption of Two Pharmaceutical Drugs Detected in Municipal Wastewater Effluent
… in analysis of SAT performance, across varying experimental scales. The adsorption behavior of two pharmaceuticals was investigated as a function of experimental scale and soil organic content in adsorbent media. This thesis shows that broad trends in pharmaceutical adsorption are not dependent …

The effects of scale and context-dependency on the outcome of experiments investigating soil carbon dynamics
… to study complex processes at the ecosystem-scale, due to high natural variability. Microcosm experiments offer a way to study soil processes under controlled conditions but common techniques to reduce environmental heterogeneity in laboratory microcosms can also alter soil properties, which …

The softening and melting of blast furnace burden materials.
… and applied in a study of burden materials on an experimental scale. The mechanism of softening and melting of burden materials has been evaluated and it was found that two opposing reactions are important, namely the liquid slag formation reaction and the gaseous reduction reaction. At high …

Understanding the assembly of simple ssRNA virus nucleocapsids
… the subsequent post-entry nucleocapsid stage. Experimentally, it was found that H124 expressed better in E. coli expression systems than H158 and H36-169, which was attached to MBP. Purified H158 was found to be largely unstructured and exist as a multimer, even at a concentration of 1 mg/mL, …

The role of caregiver-reported emerging social attention in predicting duration of orienting and social communication
… in the first days to weeks of life with a novel, experimental scale (PediaTrac SSIP). This investigation is part of a larger prospective, longitudinal investigation with a sample of 571 caregivers of infants (48% female) who were born either full term (<em>N</em> = 331; 49% female) or preterm …

USING EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS TO EVALUATE ANION COORDINATING ABILITY AND Z-SELECTIVE ISOMERIZATION OF TERMINAL ALKENES USING TUNGSTEN
… when changing the coordinating anion. A scale was made using this data to see which anions are weakly coordinating anions and which are strongly coordinating anions. Computational approaches were used to supplement the experimental results we obtained. DFT calculations were done to …

The chemical modification of polymer blends by reactive processing
… and application of this potential. In an experimental-scale operation for the simultaneous melt blending and reactive processing of both polymers, involving manual injection of precise reactive agent/free radical initiator mixtures directly into molten polymer within an internal mixer, …

Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles
… approach of utilizing high-pressure water for scale removal has gained wider acceptance by multinational despite facing poor downhole performance challenges (cavitation) that need abrasion compensation (sand). Although sand particles have side effect of jeopardize the integrity of the well …

Adaptive finite element simulation of fracture: from plastic deformation to crack propagation
… of how any of these structures fail, experimental, theoretical, and computational advances must be made. In this dissertation we will focus on computational simulation by means of the finite element method and will investigate topological and physical aspects of adaptive remeshing for …
