▼ The overall reaction of guanosine monophosphate reductase (GMPR) converts GMP to IMP by using NADPH as a cofactor and it includes two sub-steps: (1) a deamination step that releases ammonia from GMP and forms the intermediate E-XMP*; (2) a hydride transfer step that converts E-XMP* to IMP along with the oxidation of NADPH. The hydride transfer step is the rate limiting step, yet we failed to observe a burst of ammonia release. Meanwhile ammonia cannot stay in the same place where it is formed otherwise it will block NADPH. This observation suggests that ammonia remains bound to the enzyme during the hydride transfer step and there exists ammonia holding site after its release from the formation site. We identified a possible ammonia holding site by inspection of crystal structure of human GMPR type 2. Three candidate amino acids were selected and probed by site directed mutagenesis. The substitutions of all three residues decreased the reduction of GMP at least 50 fold and the oxidation of IMP at least 40 fold, and reduced the intermediate production at least 2 fold. Therefore, these substitutions behave as expected for mutations at the ammonia holding site.

▼ The Envelope Following Response (EFR) has been under
investigation as part of the ASSR evoked potential but it is
unclear where exactly this periodicity envelope originates. The
commonly accepted theory holds that the periodicity envelope is
introduced due to cochlear interactions and non-linearities but
this does not account for measurable EFR responses to resolved
stimuli (i.e. stimuli that should not interact on the basilar
membrane; Korczak et al. 2012). Laroche et al. (2013) therefore
proposed that the EFR to resolved stimuli arises centrally. To
investigate this theory, EFR were measured to stimuli of different
modulation rates, component frequencies, and phase relationships in
normal hearing individuals. When stimuli were unresolved, response
amplitude was seen to increase with decreasing degree of resolution
and decrease when the envelope was minimized in the stimulus via
phase manipulation, supporting the accepted hypothesis. When
stimuli were resolved, response amplitude decreased with increasing
component frequency (suggesting that phase locking is required) and
responses were unaffected by phase-based minimization of the
stimulus envelope. This evidence supports the theory that EFR to
resolved harmonics is introduced centrally for it suggests that
temporal encoding of the stimulus components by auditory nerve
fibers is required before an EFR can be reliably measured. We
therefore conclude that the periodicity envelope measured in the
EFR is introduced at different levels along the auditory system
depending on the resolution of its components.

Factors that affect HIV-1 recombination events and viral

▼ Abstract HIV-1 is known to be genetically diverse
due to the frequent mutations caused by the low fidelity HIV-1
reverse transcriptase (RT). The diversity comes in part from the
recombination that occurs between the two single-stranded viral RNA
genomes during reverse transcription. These recombination events
can contribute to the accumulation of multiple mutations, which may
result in the virus having multiple antiretroviral drug resistance.
Therefore, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence
HIV-1 recombination events during replication. A multi-drug
resistant HIV-1 containing a dipeptide insertion mutation within
the template and primer (T/P) binding domain of RT was
investigated. The questions asked were: 1) what biochemical changes
does this insertion mutation induce on RT for nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitor drugs (NRTI) resistance 2) the effect this
insertion has on HIV-1 recombination rate. We hypothesize that this
mutation will affect T/P binding affinity of RT, therefore
influencing drug removal and strand transfer efficiency. We found
that: 1) the dipeptide insertion mutation was responsible for the
removal of a thymidine analog chain terminator Zidovudine (AZT)
from the terminated primer and 2) the insertion mutation had higher
strand transfer efficiency due to a lower KD. The tighter binding
to T/P gives more time for RNase H domain of RT to cleave the
template RNA for strand invasion to occur. HIV recombination events
can also be influenced by dynamic copy choice strand transfer
events. Dynamic choice strand transfer occurs when slower kinetics
of RT allows RNase H to exert its activity and degrade the RNA
template thereby enabling strand invasion to occur. It has been
shown that lower polymerase processivity and lowering dNTP
concentration in in vitro strand transfer assays resulted in higher
strand transfer events. From these results, we hypothesize that a
deoxynucleotide triphosphohydrolase enzyme called the sterile alpha
motif domain histidine aspartate 1 (SAMHD1) will slow HIV-1
replication kinetics by hydrolyzing cellular dNTPs in macrophages
thereby enhancing strand transfer. As predicted macrophages
harboring low cellular dNTP concentrations has higher strand
transfer activity than compared to CD4+ T-cells, which have higher
dNTP concentrations. Upon degradation of SAMHD1 in macrophages
these recombination events are reduced due to the increase of dNTP
concentrations. However, recombination frequency remains unchanged
in CD4+ T-cells, even if SAMHD1 is degraded, because the basal dNTP
concentrations are already above the Km of RT. Furthermore, it has
been recently shown that HIV-1 RT can incorporate rNTPs during
reverse transcription in macrophages. Although rNTP pre-steady
state kinetic shows they are a less efficient substrate than dNTPs
they can still be readily incorporated due to the large disparity
in rNTP to dNTP concentrations in macrophage. Examining the enzyme
kinetics of HIV-1 RT’s incorporation of rNTPs may provide insight
for development of a new class of…

▼ Manipulating and monitoring the variables of temperature dependent systems can be a very complex task for most industrial facilities since they require either the close attention of experienced engineers or highly expensive control programs. These systems are often poorly operated, which increases the cost of production and affects the overall performance of the process. This paper aims at proposing a solution to this problem using adaptable Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms for temperature dependent systems and computational methods to optimize their performance, while maintaining a stable temperature within the process. This research investigates and evaluates MPC and compares its performance to manual procedures for controlling temperature dependent systems. The method being investigated approximates future output process values like chemical concentrations in order to determine accurate set point changes to input variables that keep them at their desired targets. In addition, the algorithms in this program match predetermined temperature patterns that indicate if the input variables of the system are correctly balanced for operating at the desired production rate. Balance is achieved by using PID closed-loop control procedures on the output variables, as well as data storage algorithms to help reduce the error of future set point computation.

▼ Ultramicroelectrode now plays a significant role in the study of the mechanism and kinetics of fast electron transfer under the steady-state condition because of the existence of high mass transport. On the other hand, excess electrolyte is necessary in order to keep electroneutrality. But electrolyte often makes the reactions complicated because of the electric neutrality step. Fortunately microelectrode techniques can affbrd to measure current voltage curves with out electrolyte. However, the experimental data reported are not consistent, and vary from researchers to researchers. The wide variation by microelectrode techniques may be ascribed to instability or an irreproducibility of microelectrodes, delay of a potentiostat at fast measurements, uncompensated resistance, and/or participation of capacitive currents. A strategy of overcoming these complications is to establish a commonly available fabrication technique. So the aim of this thesis deals with fabrication of a number of endurable nanoelectrodes at high success rate with minimal artifacts Thus the fabricated electrodes are applied to fast electron transfer kinetics and electrode reaction in low ionic strength solutions under the steady-state condition. Consequently, the microelectrodes are predicted to provide reliable electrokinetic data. Introduction of this thesis is devoted to the overview, properties and fabrication of nanoelectrodes. The experimental procedures are described in chapter 2. The following chapters are devoted to fabrication of glass-coated nanoelectrodes (Chapter 3), fast electron transfer reactions by steady-state microelectrode techniques and fast scan voltammetry (Chapter 4), and voltammetry of two-electron transfer reaction in low ionic strength solutions(Chapter 5), Conclusion is given in Chapter 6. Chapter 3 deals with fabrication of glass-coated electrodes with nano- and micrometer size by means of dissolutionwith HF.A key of the process was to make a thin glass film on the Pttip and toe xpose the Ptsurface by HF dissolving. 50 electrodes thus fabricated had diameters ranging from l nm to 5 μm, estimated from the steady-state current of diffUsion-controlled current of ferrocene in acetonitrile and ferroceny lderivative in aqueous solution. They exhibited reproducible and stable voltammograms without hysteresis, withstanding 6 hours,continuous use and l5 hours' iterative processes of heat and voltammetry. Chapter 4 is devoted to fast electron transfer reaction by steady-state microelectrode. Rate constants of fast electron transfer reactions of six species, which have been determined equivocally by fast voltammetry, are attempted to be evaluated with steady-state voltammetric measurements at ultramicroelectrodes. This work is motivated by the experimental feasibility of high current density at ultramicroelectrodes without effbcts of capacitive currents or solution resistance. By increasing mass transport, electron transfer becomes the rate determining step,and then potential shift will be found. Unfortunately no potential shift…

▼ The performance of a phosphoric acid fuel cell reactor, (PAFC), with n-hexadecane, C16H34, canola biodiesel, soybean biodiesel and petroleum diesel fuel has been investigated. Fifteen-hour steady-state operation was achieved with each of the diesel fuels. This is the first extensive study reported in the literature in which n-hexadecane is used directly as the fuel. It is also the first study of a fuel cell operated with petroleum diesel fuel. Identification of steady-state conditions (temperature = 190 °C, molar ratio of fuel to water = 414) is significant because it demonstrates that stable fuel cell operation is technically feasible when operating a PAFC with diesel fuels. Degradation in fuel cell performance was observed prior to reaching steady-state. The degradation was attributed to a carbonaceous material forming on the surface of the anode. After treating the anode with water the fuel cell performance recovered. However, the fuel cell performance degraded again prior to obtaining another steady-state operation. Several consistent observations suggested that the carbonaceous material formed from the diesel fuels might be a reaction intermediate necessary for steady-state operation. Finally, the experiments indicated that water in the phosphoric acid electrolyte could be used as the water required for the anodic reaction. The water formed at the cathode could provide the replacement water for the electrolyte, thereby eliminating the need to provide a water feed system for the fuel cell.

▼ A
steady-state model of heterogeneous combustion for a spherical particle is developed accounting for the transition regime of heat and mass transfer. The model assumes formation of condensed products and reaction rate controlled by the transport of oxidizer to the particle surface. The model is based on the Fuchs’ limiting sphere approach. Calculations are performed for combustion of zirconium particles of different sizes. Temperature and oxygen concentration profiles are calculated and compared to those predicted by the continuous medium transfer model. It is shown that for particles in the range from 100 nm up to 30 gm heat and mass transfer occur in transition regime. The predictions are also compared with the available experimental data.
For coarse particles, both predicted combustion temperatures and burn rates match respective experimental data when the reaction is assumed to produce zirconium- oxygen solution with an enthalpy of formation reduced compared to that of the stoichiometric ZrO
2. A weak effect of particle sizes on their burn times is predicted for small particles, in qualitative agreement with recent experiments. An implementation of time variability accounted for 30% change of particle diameter during particle burning for different particle diameter and the discrepancy is maintained. However, the model underestimates the burn times and overestimates the combustion temperatures for small particles. This discrepancy is likely associated with the finite reaction kinetics at the particle surface that must be accounted for in the future work.
In the heat transfer modeling, additional errors are predicted to be caused by an incorrectly assumed value of the thermal accommodation coefficient of gas molecules on the particle surface. The technique of finding the accommodation coefficient for small metal particles heated to high temperatures is developed and tested for the Zr – Ar system. The optical emission intensity decay times for micron-sized Zr particles heated and cooled in Ar are measured. The emission decay times are interpreted as cooling times. The cooling times are calculated using the two-layer Fuchs’ model. The calculated and measured results are matched by adjusting the value of the thermal accommodation coefficient. Thermal accommodation coefficient is shown to be much smaller than unity; with an estimate of 0.005. It is likely to be changing as a function of the particle size for the 1 – 10 µm particles.

▼ The erosion of sediment, or scour, around marine structures is a common occurrence. Scour around subsea pipelines may lead to excessive bending moments and/or vortex-induced vibrations; thus potentially compromising the structural integrity of the pipe. However, when a pipeline is installed along an uneven seabed, certain sections may be elevated with respect to the seabed. Small initial pipe elevations can result in high flow amplification beneath the pipe, which induces a high capacity for scour to occur, and increase the initial gap between the pipe and the seabed. A recent survey of a subsea pipeline revealed multiple incidences of free spanning, whereby a significant number of spans had maximum seabed gaps less than 30% of the outer pipe diameter. Rectification works are challenging and expensive; therefore, this work focused on predicting scour beneath subsea pipelines under steady currents with a particular emphasis on quantifying the influence of the initial pipe elevation.
Few existing empirical formulae have included the influence of the pipe elevation. In this work, a combination of experimental, numerical and field investigations has been undertaken; through which the data obtained in this work and from published literature are used to develop new empirical formulae for predicting: (1) the maximum dimensionless seabed shear stress beneath the pipe; (2) the equilibrium scour depth; and, (3) the scour time scale, which includes a suggestion for a new non-dimensional form of the time scale. The key variables of interest are: (1) the pipe-elevation-to-diameter ratio; (2) upstream dimensionless seabed shear stress; and, (3) the pipe Reynolds number. A scalar objective function is used to quantify the influence of the aforementioned variables in deriving a new set of empirical formulae.
Upon the validation of a single-phase rigid seabed model with published experimental data, a large parametric study is performed to compute the seabed shear stress beneath the pipe. The numerical data is used to develop an equation for predicting the maximum dimensionless seabed shear stress, which can be compared to the critical shear stress to estimate the initiation of scour beneath the pipe. Subsequently, sediment flume experiments are conducted to investigate the influence of the pipe elevation on the development of scour beneath the pipe. The experimental data from the present study as well as from the published literature are used to derive empirical formulae for predicting the equilibrium scour depth and scour time scale. The recent derivations suggest that the maximum seabed shear stress, equilibrium scour depth, and time scale, are significantly influenced by the pipe elevation and upstream seabed shear stress. However, the Reynolds number effects are small compared to the other parameters.
In addition to a review of existing empirical formulae for scour prediction, a comprehensive review of existing numerical modelling techniques has been performed; through which the practical options for modelling scour are…

▼ The effect of surface roughness on jet impingement heat transfer was investigated in this research. A numerical analysis was conducted for free surface slot jet impinging normally onto a heated plate. Six different geometries and three different plate materials were investigated. The cooling fluid used for the analysis was water, and the flow was laminar with a range of Reynolds number (Re) from 500 to 1000. Temperature distribution, local and average heat transfer coefficient, and local and average Nusselt number were presented for each case.
The steady state heat transfer results show that the increase in Reynolds number (Re) increases the local heat transfer coefficient and the local Nusselt number. Impinging the jet nozzle directly onto a step has a better heat transfer enhancement than impinging the jet nozzle in between steps. Materials with low thermal conductivity exhibit large variation in temperature along the solid-fluid interface. The variations of the interface temperature become smaller between all cases when applying the isothermal boundary condition.
The transient heat transfer results show that the temperature of the interface increases with time until steady state condition is met. Materials with high thermal diffusivity reach the steady state condition with less time. The increase in surface roughness increases the time required to reach the steady state condition. The highest rates of heat transfer were found at locations where no fluid recirculation occurs. It takes less time to reach steady state condition when applying the isothermal boundary condition at the bottom surface of the plate.

▼ This paper discusses the application of Finite Element-based simulations to
examine the geometry of a fully inflated, MC-4 ram-air parachute canopy in
steady flight
using a prescribed pressure distribution. Time and cost is always a factor in any
engineering design, and until recently much of the design for parachute systems involved
costly physical testing. Although these physical tests are very effective, Finite Element
Methods provide an alternative to obtaining fairly accurate results at a fraction of the time
and cost. Computer simulated systems are constantly proving their worth, and refining
the strategies and techniques can only propel them forward in terms of reliability,
accuracy and ease of use.
A novel approach for the inflation of the canopy from its cut-pattern was devised
and implemented in LS-DYNA software suite. The effects of net pressure, pressure
distribution, and material properties were explored by assessing various measures of the
canopy geometry. Five specific measures considered were: maximum spanwise extent of
the canopy, radius of a circular arc fitted to the upper leading edge of the canopy, radius
of individual half-cell openings, distance from the top of the canopy to the slider, and the
maximum vertical distance between the canopy center and tip at the leading edge. A set
of mesh refinement runs provided guidelines for acceptable average element area of 4.33
in2/element. These same runs aided in defining the time taken to reach a
steady state.
Variation of net applied pressure over a broad range resulted in minimal, less than 5%,
change in the specific measures of the canopy geometry. This shows that the indicated
technique can be used to reduce the use of resources to reach the resulting geometry of a
fully inflated,
steady state, canopy. This technique can be used in industry for preliminary
design purposes in situations where a modification in the canopy is considered. It will
give a good estimate to whether or not a modification will change the final,
steady state,
structure of the parachute system.

▼ Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) have been instrumental in building a reliable and robust Power System. Recent blackouts have increased the importance of PMUs and PMUs from various manufacturers are being installed in the in large quantities in the North American Grid. The interoperability and accuracy of these PMUs is important to obtain full benefit of the wide area monitoring systems. With the large number of installed PMUs it has become necessary to validate their performance and understand the limitations of each model. A test system was built by NIST in cooperation with NASPI to test for compliance to the existing IEEE C37.118 standard. This thesis presents the development of a
Steady State Test System at Virginia Tech based on the NIST
Steady State Testing system. The various issues that were faced during the process of development are discussed and the methodology implemented for solving these problems is described. This thesis also presents the additional benefits derived from the results obtained when different PMUs were tested using the Virginia Tech PMU
Steady State Test System.

▼ Benzimidazole analogs of L-tryptophan were hypothesized to be inhibitors of the enzyme tryptophan indole-lyase (trpase). β-(Benzimidazol-1-yl)-L-alanine, 2-amino-4-(benzimidazol-1-yl)butyric acid, and 2-amino-5-(benzimidazol-1-yl)pentanoic
acid were synthesized and tested enzymatically in a tryptophan indole-lyase assay. It was determined from the conducted enzymatic studies that β-(benzimidazol-1-yl)-L-alanine functioned as a substrate of trpase while 2-amino-4-(benzimidazol-1-yl)butyric
acid, a homologue of β-(benzimidazol-1-yl)-L-alanine, behaved as a potent inhibitor of trpase, having a Ki of 16 μM. Contrastingly, 2-amino-5-(benzimidazol-1-yl)pentanoic acid was found to be trpase inactive at a concentration of 600 μM. Because
2-amino-4-(benzimidazol-1-yl)butyric acid was found to function as an inhibitor of trpase, we then hypothesized that homologues of trpase substrates would likely function as inhibitors of trpase. Pursuant to the former hypothesis,
2-amino-4-(benzimidazolon-1-yl)butyric acid and S-benzyl-L-homocysteine, homologues of trpase substrates, were synthesized and it was discovered that both functioned as inhibitors of trpase. The Ki values for 2-amino-4-(benzimidazolon-1-yl)butyric acid,
and S-benzyl-L-homocysteine were calculated as 15 μM and 14 μM correspondingly. Previous works demonstrated that inhibitors of trpase would also likely serve as inhibitors of the enzyme tryptophan synthase. β-(Benzimidazol-1-yl)-L-alanine,
2-amino-4-(benzimidazol-1-yl)butyric acid, 2-amino-4-(benzimidazolon-1-yl)butyric acid, and S-benzyl-L-homocysteine were thus hypothesized as inhibitors of tryptophan synthase. Preliminary studies showed that both β-(benzimidazol-1-yl)-L-alanine and
2-amino-4-(benzimidazol-1-yl)butyric acid were tryptophan synthase active; however, the Ki for these compounds was not determined. At the time of the documentation of this work, 2-amino-4-(benzimidazolon-1-yl)butyric acid, and S-benzyl-L-homocysteine had
not yet been tested in the tryptophan synthase assay. S-Methyl-D-cysteine was synthesized in an effort to determine if the vasoconstriction which was observed in laboratory mice when said mice consumed S-methyl-L-cysteine, was stereospecific. Following
the synthesis of S-methyl-D-cysteine our collaborators began testing S-methyl-D-cysteine in the vasoconstriction assay. The data from the vasoconstriction assay is still being collected.

▼ Steady-state solutions represent the long-term response of linear systems due to specified input signals. The total response is initially contaminated with transients, which disguise the long-term/operating response of a system. Except for certain ideal cases, even in systems of low dimension, the
steady-state solution is typically obtained by simulation of the system until the transient part of the response is sufficiently negligible. This investigation elaborates on a method of determining the initial conditions that spontaneously give rise to
steady-state solutions of forced linear differential equations. The method is applicable to stable, as well as non-stable systems, of any order.

▼ For the pharmaceutical industry, the manufacture of high value pharmaceuticals from natural products, chemical synthetic routes or fermentation processes all require intensive downstream processing steps to produce a pure final product. A small footprint liquid-liquid processing method would help to reduce the capital cost and process development time of this downstream processing. In this thesis, it is hypothesised that continuous liquid-liquid extraction can be achieved using a standard hydrodynamic counter-current chromatography (CCC) instrument by switching the flow of the liquid phases between normal phase and reversed phase intermittently, so separating a feed stream into two eluant flows. A model of the process was derived and tested on three scales of instrument, from the semipreparative to the pilot scale. The method developed, Intermittent Counter-current Extraction (ICcE) was compared to dual-flow counter-current chromatography (DFCCC), the classical method of applying continuous extraction using a counter-current chromatograph. ICcE was found to be advantaged due to the more stable phase volume ratio achievable in the columns and the ability to operate the procedure on standard commercial twin-column CCC instruments which operate at high g-field. The robustness of the ICcE method was successfully demonstrated across a range of phase system polarities and at high throughput (1kg/day on a preparative instrument) with model mixtures of pharmaceutical compounds. The effectiveness of this new processing method was confirmed on three industrially relevant case studies. Firstly a polar extract from natural senna pods to extract important sennosides, secondly an intermediate polarity highly complex active pharmaceutical ingredient waste stream to recover the main active component and thirdly a non-polar natural product extract to recover macrocarpal compounds. In summary, the ICcE method now offers another tool in the range of liquid-liquid separation methods available to the pharmaceutical and other high value industries.

▼ The main goal of this thesis was to compare experiments using time-resolved anisotropy and
steady-state anisotropy for measuring in bacteria strain Cupriavidus necator. Fluorescent probe for anisotropy imaging was chosen BCECF_AM, which is derivate of fluorescein. Using experiment in system glycerol/water with fluorescein, anisotropy has been verified and calculated molecular hydrodynamic volume of a single fluorescein molecule, which approximately corresponded with real value. By using fluorescence imaging anisotropy microscopy, images and values of average anisotropy in cells were taken. Images of living cells (bacteria) of CN H16 and mutant CN PHB-4 showed differences, mainly in the uniformity of the inside environment.

▼ This dissertation aims to establish a mathematical model to predict the
steady-state (stationary) motion of
a nano-particle that is suppressed between two parallel moving objects. The main purpose of this study
intends to find an appropriate means to reduce surface damage caused by moving nano-paricle. This study
will show that, via the molecular dynamics (MD) analysis, the surface will result in different sizes of
damaged layer and surface roughness when a nano-particle moves in a distinct way on it. Therefore, it has
a significant value in the applications of high precision polishing and surface cleaning to identify the
dominant factors in affecting the motion of nano-particle.
The proposed model is to find the
steady-state motion by meeting the conditions of force and torque
balances on a moving nano-particle. Several hypotheses are suggested to derive the interaction force
occurred at the interface between particle and each object. The hypothesis starts from the energy point of
view. It is claimed that the potential and kinetic energies of object atoms will increase when nano-particle
moves relative to the object. Because of the relative motion, some of the object atoms will be pushed or
driven away, depending on the manner of motion. The increment of potential or kinetic energies is
assumed to be proportional to the number of pushed or driven atoms. The increase of energy is supplied
from the works done by the normal stress and shear stress at the interface of particle. The interaction at
the front end of particle is very different from that at the rear end when particle rolls on object surface.
There is a pushing action at the front end while a pulling action occurs at the rear end. The magnitudes of
both actions are dominated and proportional to the adhesive strength between particle and object.
The computer simulations show that the particle motion is mainly affected by the relative adhesive
strength among particle and two objects. If the adhesive strength between particle and one object increase,
the particle will increase the sliding speed relative to another object. On the other hand, if the adhesive
strength between particle and one object is close to that of another object, the particle tends to have
significant rolling motion relative to two objects. The suppressed loading between particle and objects has
little effect on the qualitative trend of particle motion. The validity of proposed model is evaluated by the
molecular dynamics simulation. It indicates that the predicted behaviors of proposed model are consistent
with that from the analysis of molecular dynamics simulations.

▼ An attempt was made to calibrate a steady state
activated sludge model (ASM2d) for the biological nutrient removal
process at the Gold bar wastewater treatment plant. This calibrated
model could be used on a regular basis to test various operational
strategies and predict effluent quality under different scenario.
To achieve this historic data from the plant database was collected
based on 24 composite samples. A trial and error method of
wastewater characterization of the primary effluent was attempted
using the influent advisor module of the GPS-[X] software.
Sensitivity analysis of kinetic parameters was carried out and the
most important ones identified were calibrated (default values were
modified) based on literature. After calibration it was observed
that the model was overestimating the concentrations of
carbonaceous biological oxygen demand, total suspended solids and
orthophosphate in the effluent, compared to the actual value
measured at the plant. Similarly the effluent ammonia concentration
was underestimated for most days along with the nitrate and nitrite
concentration. This clearly indicated the need for a more accurate
calibration based on experimental data to improve prediction
capabilities and the reliability of the model.

▼ Diffusion approximations have been a popular tool for performance analysis in queueing theory, with the main reason being tractability and computational efficiency. This dissertation is concerned with establishing theoretical guarantees on the performance of
steady-state diffusion approximations of queueing systems. We develop a modular framework based on Stein's method that allows us to establish error bounds, or convergence rates, for the approximations. We apply this framework three queueing systems: the Erlang-C, Erlang-A, and M/Ph/n+M systems.
The former two systems are simpler and allow us to showcase the full potential of the framework. Namely, we prove that both
Wasserstein and Kolmogorov distances between the stationary
distribution of a normalized customer count process, and that of an
appropriately defined diffusion process decrease at a rate of
1/√{R}, where R is the offered load. Futhermore, these error
bounds are \emph{universal}, valid in any load condition from
lightly loaded to heavily loaded. For the Erlang-C model, we also show that a diffusion approximation with state-dependent diffusion coefficient can achieve a rate of convergence of 1/R, which is an order of magnitude faster when compared to approximations with constant diffusion coefficients.

▼ The oscillatory flow provided by an orbital shaker table correlates somewhat to the pulsatile flow seen in the human vasculature. This parallel allows for the use of the orbital shaker table in a large range of biomedical research. However, the fluid dynamics is not well characterized in this system. This research employed the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package FLUENT in an effort to better understand the fluid dynamics in an orbiting dish. This work was performed at low resolution as a first attempt to examine the fluid flow characteristics. The first objective was to determine the time required to reach a
steady state. This was found to occur within four orbits of the dish. The shear stress on the bottom surface of an orbital dish was then investigated and compared to previously published scalar functions. An equation used in two cases by Ley et al. (1989) determined shear to be 2.76 dyne/cm2 and 3.12 dyne/cm2 respectively. These systems had Stokes Numbers of 2 and 2.5, Froude Numbers of 0.7 and 0.8 and Slope Ratios of 0.4 and 0.3 respectively. . When modeled in FLUENT the cases showed the magnitude of shear stress in the center of the dish to be 0.67 dyne/cm2 and 1.11 dyne/cm2 respectively. The average shear stress on the bottom of the dish for the same cases was determined to be 0.39 dyne/cm2 and 0.85 dyne/cm2 respectively. More revealing, the shear was found to be uneven across the bottom of the dish with maximum shear near the peak of the fluid wave. Next, cases were simulated across ranges of dimensionless Stokes Number, Froude Number, and slope ratio at low resolution to determine the feasibility of using FLUENT to observe transitions. Each case was run at a constant Reynolds Number of 100 to maintain laminar flow. A Stokes number transition is evidenced by a lag in the location of the fluid peak relative to the location of the dish. When a gap in the leading edge of the fluid is observed, a Froude number transition has occurred. A large free surface slope resulting in a dry area forming on the bottom of the dish is indicative of a Slope Ratio transition. These transitions were positively identified at low resolution when changing one dimensionless number while keeping the others constant.

▼ Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a neuroimaging technique that provides an unparalleled ability to non-invasively study brain activity. Since its inception in the early 1990s, fMRI has become a dominant tool in studying neurological responses to tasks and stimuli and has been critical in our evolving understanding of brain mapping. These achievements in neuroscience would not be possible without critical breakthroughs in MRI theory and hardware advancements, which continue to increase the speed and resolution of fMRI acquisitions. This dissertation explores a highly signal efficient fMRI imaging strategy known as Oscillating
Steady-State Imaging (OSSI) and presents specialized artifact compensation strategies for addressing the practical challenges of the OSSI method.
First, we develop analytical models and simulations of OSSI, which describe how the signal magnitude varies as a function of frequency. These simulations are then used to study how respiration-induced frequency changes cause artifactual signal fluctuations to a signal timecourse. Our simulations show that the severity of respiration artifacts changes with initial off-resonance. Furthermore, we show that respiration artifacts are primarily caused by transient signal effects rather than changes to
steady-state magnitude. These findings inform the two correction strategies proposed in the remainder of the dissertation.
The second portion of this work describes "OSSCOR," a retrospective method to correct timecourse magnitude changes caused by temporally varying frequency. We show how the OSSI signal exhibits a frequency-time duality which can be used to reshape structured physiological noise into a low-rank matrix. We then use principal component analysis in a data-driven correction strategy to create nuisance regressors for subsequent fMRI analysis. We show that free induction decay (FID) signals can also be used to create nuisance regressors in the same way in a variation of our method, referred to as "F-OSSCOR." Both OSSCOR and F-OSSCOR were found to significantly improve the functional sensitivity and signal stability compared to polynomial detrending alone. OSSCOR was also found to significantly outperform a standard data-driven correction method, CompCor.
Finally, we present a prospective correction method which utilizes FID measurements to estimate and correct for B0 changes in real-time. Prospective correction has the potential to outperform retrospective correction methods by directly reducing perturbations to
steady-state magnetization during acquisition. We first present the results of a feasibility analysis where simulation was used to determine how scan parameters would affect correction performance. We then developed a prospective correction application using a specialized scanner control platform to perform data analysis and parameter adjustment in real-time. Our initial fMRI proof-of-concept shows that real-time correction can increase the number of activated voxels and improve overall image stability as measured by tSNR.

(i) focusing analyses on auditory cortices, (ii) assessing a wide range of stimulation frequencies with long driving periods, and (iii) evaluating the relationships between transient and sustained auditory responses between hemispheres. Seventeen
schizophrenia (SZ) and 17 healthy (H) individuals participated. Stimuli were 1500ms binaural broadband noise sequences modulated at 5-, 20-, 40-, 80- or 160-Hz. While auditory cortical transient responses for H increased linearly with stimulus density,
this effect was weaker or absent in SZ. SZ also had a right lateralized deficit in evoked entrainment to 40-Hz stimuli and a bilateral deficit at 5-Hz and 80-Hz. Overall, there was an altered relationship between increasing stimulus density and evoked
auditory cortical responses among SZ which may underlie their commonly reported abnormalities in auditory processing.

▼ A general model of age-structured population dynamics of early humans is developed and the fundamental properties of its solutions are analyzed. The model is a semilinear partial differential equation with a nonlinear nonlocal boundary condition. Existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions to the model equations are proved. An intrinsic growth constant is obtained and linked to the existence and the stability of the trivial or the positive equilibrium. The model supports the viability of the extended juvenile and post-reproductive phases of the human species.

▼ Existence of a monetary
steady state is established for a random matching model with divisible goods, general individual money holdings, and take-it-or-leave-it offers by consumers. For indivisible money, the only assumption is a lower bound on the marginal utility of consumption at zero. For divisible money, there are two additional assumptions: the marginal utility of consumption at zero is bounded above and there is a finite bound on individual money holdings. In each case, the monetary
steady state shown to exist has nice properties: the value function, defined on money holdings, is increasing and strictly concave, and the measure over money holdings has full support.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Slug flow dense phase pneumatic conveying can be a most reliable, efficient method for handling a remarkably wide range of dry bulk solids. Models for pressure drop over slugs in the low-velocity slug-flow pneumatic conveying by many researchers only took the force balance into account with the pressure drop. However, the nature of the slug flow pneumatic conveying is discontinuous and seldom becomes steady during the conveying period which requires further investigation. The fundamental understanding to gas/slug interaction in this thesis is that, by being a dynamic system, the faster a slug moves at a speed, the larger the space is left behind the slug. The gas feeding into the conveying system has to fill the increased space first then permeates through the slug and provides a push force on the slug. With gas permeation rate defined by the permeability factor, the derivative of the upstream pressure based on the air mass conservation law has been developed. For a given conveying system, the pressure in the pneumatic conveying system can be solved for steady conditions or numerically simulated for unsteady conditions. Parametric analysis have been conducted for pressure drop factors and found that slug velocity is the major reason causing the pressure fluctuation in the pneumatic conveying system. To verify the pressure drop model, this model has been applied to single slug cases and compared with experimental results for five different bulk materials, showing good results. Three distinct zones, i.e. Fixed Bed Zone, Initial Slug Zone and Reliable Slug Zone, have been found to exist in the relationship between slip velocity and pressure gradient. Lastly this model has also been applied to a multiple slug system under uniform conditions. In all, the fundamental gas pressure/pressure drop model developed in this thesis approaches slug flow conveying from a different viewpoint from the traditional momentum and material stress models developed by previous researchers, and provides a way of assessing the non-steady flow behaviour in granular dense phase pneumatic conveying. This model not only attains a better understanding of slug flow behaviour but also increases the accuracy of predicting the parameters.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The aim of this study was to develop a generalised 2D segregation-dispersion model of the Reflux Classifier applicable to continuous processing, for describing the internal state of the system, and for describing dynamic, and steady state separations. The Reflux Classifier is a beneficiation device comprising a fluidisation section with a set of parallel inclined channels above, in which particle segregation takes place according to differences in density and/or size. The presence of inclined channels provides a large effective settling area, while also improving the separation performance of the device. Many experimental studies have been conducted using the Reflux Classifier. However, the present study was the first to establish a mathematical model of the Reflux Classifier, for describing separations under continuous conditions. In the present study, a 2D model of the Reflux Classifier was developed, formulated in terms of the segregation and dispersion of the particles. This new model, written in Fortran 77, involved two main steps. The first was concerned with implementing the Kennedy and Bretton (1966) 1D segregation-dispersion model, previously used to describe liquid fluidised beds under batch conditions. The predictions of the 1D model for monocomponent systems in liquid fluidised beds were validated using flux curve analysis. The second step involved the modification of the 1D segregation-dispersion model into a 2D model of the Reflux Classifier. According to the segregation-dispersion model (Kennedy and Bretton, 1966), the net flux of any given particle species relative to the vessel consists of two components, namely the segregation and dispersion fluxes. The segregation flux in a monocomponent system was described using the hindered settling model of Richardson and Zaki (1954), modified to obtain the particle velocity relative to the fluid. For systems comprising particle species of different sizes and densities, the segregation flux was evaluated using a modified form of the Richardson and Zaki model, proposed by Asif (1997). The hindered settling model of Asif (1997) is effectively a constitutive model that incorporates both the effects of particle size and density, including the local suspension density on the slip velocity of a given particle species (Asif, 1997; Galvin et al. 1999a, b). The dispersion flux in the fluidisation section was determined using fixed values of the dispersion coefficient in the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) directions, as fitting parameters. Similarly, within the inclined section, a fixed value of the dispersion coefficient was adopted in the tangential direction (y direction). In contrast, in the normal direction (x direction) within the inclined section, a laminar shear mechanism, i.e. shear-induced lift, was incorporated as a contribution to dispersion in the x direction. The 2D segregation-dispersion model of the Reflux Classifier has been utilised to describe the transport behaviour of single, binary and…

▼ We discuss Skart, an automated batch-means procedure for constructing a skewness- and autoregression-adjusted confidence interval (CI) for the
steady-state mean of a simulation output process in either discrete time (i.e., observation-based statistics) or continuous time (i.e., time-persistent statistics). Skart is a sequential procedure designed to deliver a CI that satisfies user-specified requirements concerning not only the CI’s coverage probability but also the absolute or relative precision provided by its half-length. Skart exploits separate adjustments to the half-length of the classical batch-means CI so as to account for the effects on the distribution of the underlying Student’s t-statistic that arise from skewness (nonnormality) and autocorrelation of the batch means. The skewness adjustment is based on a modified Cornish-Fisher expansion for the classical batch-means Student’s t -ratio, and the autocorrelation adjustment is based on an autoregressive approximation to the batch-means process for sufficiently large batch sizes. Skart also delivers a point estimator for the
steady-state mean that is approximately free of initialization bias. The duration of the associated warm-up period (i.e., the statistics clearing time) is based on iteratively applying von Neumann’s randomness test to spaced batch means with progressively increasing batch sizes and interbatch spacer sizes. In an experimental performance evaluation involving a wide range of test processes, Skart compared favorably with other simulation analysis methods—namely, its predecessors ASAP3, WASSP, and SBatch as well as ABATCH, LBATCH, the Heidelberger-Welch procedure, and the Law-Carson procedure. Specifically, Skart exhibited competitive sampling efficiency and substantially closer conformance to the given CI coverage probabilities than the other procedures.
Also presented is a nonsequential version of Skart, called N-Skart, in which the user supplies a single simulation-generated series of arbitrary length and specifies a coverage probability for a CI based on that series. In the same set of test processes previously mentioned and for a range of data-set sizes, N-Skart also achieved close conformance to the specified CI coverage probabilities.

▼ Background: When two acoustic sinusoids of slightly different frequencies are presented in the same ear, the listener perceives a beating sound with a rate the difference frequency between the two sinusoids. In the dichotic presentation of two acoustic sinusoids with slightly different frequencies, separately at the two ears, the listener perceives beats at the difference frequency and these beats are called Binaural Beats. As opposed to the Monaural Beats the Binaural Beats require the combined action of the two ears in order to be perceived. Monaural and Binaural Beats can be assessed with EEG recordings of the Auditory
Steady-Steady Response. While the Monaural Beats are already created at the level of the cochlea, the Binaural Beats are caused by bilateral inputs at higher levels of the auditory processing chain. This suggest that possible differences between the generators of the ASSRs elicited by Monaural and by Binaural Beats can help in the understanding of the binaural processing of sound. Objective: The objective of this study is to localize the generators of ASSRs evoked by MBs and by BBs, with the goal to detect possible spatial differences between their sources. Methods: EEG recordings from 11 participants in response to multiple sinusoidal acoustic stimuli were used. Monaural beats, binaural beats, as well as other higher order monaural and binaural interactions between the input acoustic sinusoids were detected as ASSRs at the respective frequency of the beat or at the frequency of the other interactions. All the significant ASSRs were identified and then a spatial filtering technique was applied for the localization of their generators in the brain. The Dynamic Imaging of Coherent Sources (DICS) beamformer with left/right symmetric scanning dipoles was used to scan the whole brain and estimate the sources of the ASSRs. Results: The sources of the ASSRs evoked by monaural beats of 33Hz and 39Hz were identified in the auditory cortex. Maximum activation of the brain was found in the auditory cortex contralateral to the side of the monaural beat stimulus. ASSRs of 4 Hz Binaural Beat and 6Hz binaural interaction were localized in the right auditory cortex, slightly lower than the source of the Monaural Beats. Finally, sources of ASSRs evoked by other binaural beats and other monaural and binaural interactions were found in the following brain areas: temporal middle gyrus, parietal lobule, frontal gyrus, and precentral gyrus. Based on comparisons with results from other studies, the localization accuracy of
subject-level source estimates was estimated 24.7mm. Conclusion: Generators of ASSRs evoked by monaural and binaural beats were estimated in the auditory cortex. The overall source results of the study suggest right-asymmetric contribution to the ASSR from the auditory cortex. Areas not belonging to the auditory system were also localized as sources of ASSRs. This suggests that brain areas outside the auditory system might be involved in the processing of the sound and sound perception. Finally, the…
