Holey Graphene Oxide Membranes for Water Desalination
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Holey reduced graphene oxide (r-HGO) was investigated for next-generation nanofiltration membranes for water desalination. The GO nanosheets were first etched with hydrogen peroxide to create holes to enhance the water ...
The Effects of ALAD Genotype and Blood Lead Levels on Anthropometric Measures in a Cohort of Mexican Children
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Objectives: Lead exposure has been shown to affect children’s growth, but this relationship may depend on the presence of susceptibility factors, including genetic variation. Blood lead levels (BLL) differ between groups ...
Lead Corrosion in a Water Distribution System: Effect of Fluorosilicic Acid, Pipe Scale Analysis, and Equilibrium Speciation Simulation
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Lead is a toxic metal that continues to be a prevalent risk to human health. Exposure to lead through drinking water continues due to the prevalence of lead plumbing present in water distribution systems. Lead dissolution ...
Myd88 mediated Anti-Fibrotic effects of Folic Acid treatments in management of Drug-Induced Gingival Overgrowths
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Drug Induced Gingival Overgrowth (DIGO) is a disfiguring side effect of three main drug categories namely, anti-convulsants, calcium channel blocking agents and immunosuppressants. Several conventional treatments are ...
Physicomechanical Response of Ionic Polyurethanes on Endothelial Cells
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Segmental polyurethanes (PUs) are well-characterized elastomeric biomaterials that are used in vascular graft applications. PU properties can be engineered by tuning their segmental composition and by regulating inter-segmental ...
Paper-Based Ultra-Thin, Low Cost Sigfox LPWAN Modules
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
This thesis motivates the use of LPWAN communication technologies to design and develop Internet of Things (IoT). The research focuses on design and development of paper printed IoT device whose circuitry is printed on ...
Eye Level wearable light sensing device
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Circadian Rhythms are the 24-hour internal biological clock of the human body. It controls the sleep-wake cycle and many other processes of the body. The circadian rhythm has been found to be light dependent and can shift ...
Schooners, Islands, and Maroons: Sea Adventures for Empire Boys Through the Nineteenth Century
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Concerning the dynamic nature of children’s adventure stories as a genre, Dennis Butts contends that “Western society is changing, and it is inevitable that adventure stories should reflect these changes” (Butts, 2014, ...
A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Invisalign Treatment on Upper Pharyngeal Airway Dimensions in Adults with Class II Malocclusion: A CBCT Pilot Study
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Purpose: To evaluate the post-treatment effects of Invisalign aligners on the dimensions of the upper pharyngeal airway and to assess the effects of Invisalign treatment on daytime sleepiness, in a population of class II ...
Low-Cost Method of Estimating Vehicle Sideslip and Tire Cornering Stiffness using Global Positioning and Inertial Measurement
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
In this study a low-cost method of estimating the linear tire model for a road vehicle is developed, which can be used to make quantitative decisions for tire selection and vehicle modification. As a traditional tire model ...
