Electrodeposition of nickel-copper alloys and nickel-copper-alumina nanocomposites into deep recesses for MEMS
… to produce three dimensional microstructures and few material alternatives have been demonstrated. In this dissertation, electrodeposited Ni-Cu alloys and nanocomposites are investigated as possible replacements for nickel in microsystems. Ni-Cu alloys are attractive for their corrosion …

Characterization of natural variation in steady- and non-steady-state photosynthesis and its underlying mechanisms to improve productivity in rice (Oryza sativa)
… presents an opportunity to both increase yields and resource-use efficiencies. Historically, most of our understanding of photosynthesis has come through measurements made at a steady-state. However, these measurements fail to account for the constantly fluctuating light environment that is more …

The electrochemistry of phenothiazine derivatives
… blue (MB -), 1-methyl methylene blue (1MMB) and 1,9-dimethyl-methylene blue (DMMB) have potential use as drugs within photodynamic therapy (PDT). Knowing the redox properties of MBDs will help in understanding the way in which MBDs interact with a range of biological systems. In this work, …

Tools for managing intermittent water supplies
… with enough water. Improving the safety and sufficiency of IWS requires new management tools. This thesis proposes some such tools. Specifically, this thesis develops a suite of hydraulic, financial, and water quality models that show how each is affected by a utility's operational …

Synthesis and Photopolymerization of Novel Dimethacrylates
… structural modifications of Bis-GMA in the core and the side chain and required a two-step reaction. The first step was propoxylation or ethoxylation of the bisphenols and the second step was the methacrylation of the resulting products. The core structures are designated by Bis-A for …

Modelling the transmission of tuberculosis
… is the carrier of airborne infectious particles and carbon dioxide is used as a surrogate of this exhaled air. Using carbon dioxide as a surrogate for exhaled air, we modified the Wells-Riley model and the prior modified versions of the model, and obtained a exible but sensitive mathematical …

VALIDATION OF IMPROVED HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE FOR EXPIRED GAS ANALYSIS INDIRECT CALORIMETRY
… an artificial working model of lung ventilation and gas exchange as well as to the Douglas bag technique. In addition, comparisons will be made between expired fractions, ventilation, and computations of VO2, VCO2, and RER between the new system and a commercial mixing chamber system …

Development of a new test protocol for the permit Ion migration test
… of reinforced concrete in both marine and transportation structures. In order to assess the chloride penetration resistance of concrete, the common practice is to remove cores from the structure and test them in a laboratory to determine the chloride diffusion coefficient using the …

The application of maximal mean and critical speed and metabolic powers for the quantification of external load in soccer
… known to represent the greatest physical demand that players experience. The demands associated with match running performance may impact training outcomes and injury risk. As a result, practitioners evaluate these demands to ensure that performance is optimised. To assist in this process, …
