The need for next-generation energy storage technologies has made silicon a leading prospect for next-generation anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, due to its theoretical capacity nearly ten times that of conventional ...

The migratory phenotype consists of a suite of adaptations to support short- and long-distance movements. Numerous species make annual movements to and from more northern latitudes, taking advantage of the longer daylight ...

This study investigated consumer purchase intentions toward jeans made from recycled post-consumer textile waste (PCTW), examining key psychological factors such as perceived trust in third-party certification labels (TPCL), ...

A progressive neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is identified by the buildup of insoluble protein aggregates, such as Tau and amyloid beta. Amyloid beta (Aβ) and Tau protein processing genetic predispositions ...

Forage systems in the Deep South, USA, present seasonal limitations that reduce cattle productivity, particularly due to suboptimal summer forage quality and the prevalence of toxic tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus). ...

Humidity control plays a vital role in maintaining healthy indoor environments and enhancing the performance of industrial processes. Conventional dehumidification systems, which predominantly rely on vapor compression ...

This dissertation presents an exploration of the design, fabrication, and characterization of integrated pneumatic circuits for the precise control of microvalves within droplet-based microfluidic devices. By integrating ...

Body size plays a fundamental role in how animals respond to their environment. Smaller animals are more vulnerable to heat loss and desiccation due to their high surface-area-to-volume ratio. I investigated the relationship ...

Thermal management in increasingly miniaturized electronic systems remains a critical challenge, as rising computing power, reduced form factors, denser interconnects, and advanced packaging techniques intensify power ...

The construction, operation, and maintenance of public infrastructure systems generate a variety of pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and nutrients, which are contaminants the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ...
