Development And Control Of Urban Water Network Models
(2013-10-17)
Water distribution systems convey drinking water from treatment plant and make available to consumers’ taps. It consists of essential components like pipes, valves, pumps, tanks and reservoirs etc. The main concern in the ...
Studies in Water Treatment : Defluoridation using Adsorption, Denitrification using a Microbial Fuel Cell, and Contaminant Removal using Solar Distillation
(2018-05-23)
This thesis includes both experimental and modelling studies on the treatment of drinking water. Three aspects were studied: (i) removal of fluoride (F– ) by adsorption, (ii) removal of fluoride and other contaminants by ...
Experimental Determination And New Correlations For Multi-Component Solid Solubilities In Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
(2016-03-02)
The fluids that are operated above their critical temperature and pressure are
known as supercritical fluids (SCFs). SCFs replaces the conventional organic solvents
in the chemical processes due to their attractive ...
Understanding Structure And Growth Of Physisorbed Films : A Combined Atomic Force Microscopy And Modeling Study
(2014-10-16)
Surface modification has wide ranging implications in lubrication, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), colloidal systems and biological membranes. Surface modification plays an important role in stabilizing gold ...
Modeling The Population Dynamics Of Erythrocytes To Identify Optimal Drug Dosages For The Treatment Of Hepatitis C Virus Infection
(2016-04-28)
The current treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection – combination therapy
with pegylated interferon and ribavirin – elicits sustained responses in only ~50% of
the patients treated. Greater cumulative exposure ...
Modeling Lysis Dynamcis Of Pore Forming Toxins And Determination Of Mechanical Properties Of Soft Materials
(2015-08-07)
Pore forming toxins are known for their ability to efficiently form transmembrane pores which eventually leads to cell lysis. PFTs have potential applications in devel-oping novel drug and gene delivery strategies. Although ...
