Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Remote Sensing Technology for Structural Damage Assessments in Low-Light Conditions
Creators: name: Baker, Christopher A
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Other engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The research explores the viability of using a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle equipped with thermal imaging and lowlight camera to assess structural damage to steel girders. Damage assessments following natural disasters are daunting and arduous tasks that are resources intensive and dangerous. Unmanned aerial vehicles with remote sensing technology (UAV-RS) have been used in recent large-scale disaster events such as Hurricanes Katerina, Harvey, Irma, and Maria as well as others. Current assessment methods of structures include; inspectors physically conducting detailed and rapid surveys of damage with or without the assistance of special equipment, use of helicopters, satellite imagery, and new innovative methods using unmanned aerial vehicles with remote sensing technology.
The initial experiment utilized the S-BRITE facility at Purdue University. Two steel girders located at S-BRITE were used in the experiment with damages that render them structurally deficient. Experiments were conducted during hours of low visibility.
Most scientific studies have focused on using UAV-RS during hours of daylight. This research exploresthe use of UAV-RS during low-light conditions (i.e. early evening nautical and astronomical twilight, and night) for detecting global damage to steel girders. The goal is to present evidence for further study in the use of UAV-RS during low-light conditions for inspecting structures to include primary load bearing members. The research concluded that while the UAV-RS can detect global damage in low visibility conditions, further experiments in varying low-light conditions to include3D imaging and semi-autonomous inspectionusing computer vision are important for structural damage assessments.

Sustainable agricultural development

description: Pucciniomycotina is a subphylum with a high diversity in terms of habitat and life history strategies that include plant parasites, animal associates (including opportunistic human pathogens), saprobes and antagonists of other fungi. The class Cystobasidiomycetes within this subphylum is a representative of such diversity and remains understudied. Their role in nature and the associations they establish with their hosts for most of the species is still unknown. In this study we used taxonomic and phylogenetic methods to present an inventory of strains in this class collected for more than 20 years from all over the world and preserved in the Aime Lab Culture Collection. Molecular and morphological data for six new species in the genera Bannoa, Buckleyzyma, Halobasidium and Sakaguchia were also presented. Additionally, mating experiments were performed by pairing strains of Bannoa; this is the second time in the genus that clamp connections and basidia are observed. We also found that newly described species of Bannoa can be co-inhabitants of sori of rust fungi. In general, antagonistic interactions can occur through: 1) direct physical contact between two fungi, i.e., mycoparasitism; or, 2) the production of antimicrobial compounds. In the Cystobasidiomycetes, direct physical antagonistic interaction which is associated with sexual states has been reported in species of Cystobasidium, Naohidea, Cyphobasidium and Occultifur. On the other hand, the production of antimicrobial compounds which mainly occurs between the yeast stage of the fungi and other organisms has only been reported in Cystobasidium pallidumand Hasegawazyma lactosa. We also hypothesize that the common ancestor to Cystobasidiomycetes is a mycoparasite due to the fact that this life strategy is present in most of the lineages in the class. To test this hypothesis, we grouped into five categories the host association or substrate from which strains of extant species in the Cystobasidiomycetes were isolated, i.e.,animals, plants, fungi, aquatic or decaying organic matter. We constructed a resolved phylogeny for the class based on seven locito study the evolutionary origins of mycoparasitism through ancestral character reconstruction with representation of all described species. Our analysis suggests that the most likely hypothesis is that the most recent common ancestor of the Cystobasidiomycetes was associated to fungi.

Nonlinear Optical Microscopy for Pharmaceutical Formulation Development

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Analytical chemistry not elsewhere classified

description: The unique symmetry requirements of second harmonic generation (SHG) provide exquisite selectivity to chiral crystals, enabling independent quantitative modeling of the nucleation and crystal growth of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) within amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) during accelerated in situ stability testing, and in vitro dissolution testing. ASDs, in which an API is maintained in an amorphous state within a polymer matrix, are finding increasing use to address solubility limitations of small-molecule APIs. SHG microscopy yielded limits of detection for ritonavir crystals as low as 10 ppm, which is about two orders of magnitude lower than other methods currently available for crystallinity detection in ASDs. The quantitative capabilities of SHG analysis were substantially improved further while simultaneously dramatically reducing the total sample volume and storage burden through in situ analysis. Single particle tracking of crystal growth performed in situ enabled substantial improvements in the signal to noise ratio (SNR) for recovered crystal nucleation and growth rates by nonlinear optical microscopy. Upon dissolution, the presence of solubilizing additives in biorelevant media greatly affected the generation and stabilization of supersaturated solutions. SHG microscopy was found to enable the detection of crystals even in the highly turbid Ensure Plus® system. Analysis of the SHG micrographs clearly indicated that differences in the nucleation kinetics rather than growth rates dominated the overall trends in crystallinity. For weakly basic drugs, the fate of dissolution in fasted-state simulated intestinal fluid (FaSSIF, pH 6.5) varied with the ASDs drug loading, and was highly affected by the pre-exposure to the fasted-state simulated gastric fluid (FaSSGF, pH 1.6) medium, versus the dissolution in FaSSIF medium alone. The presence of crystals during the first stage of posaconazole ASDs dissolution in FaSSGF acted as nuclei for further crystallization in the later dissolution stage in FaSSIF. The results provide insights of better formulation prediction of poorly soluble drugs, as well as understanding origins of intraluminal absorption variability for such systems
DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH DUCTILITY ALUMINUM ALLOYS FOR DIE CASTING
Creators: name: Mohamadyasin, Mohamadrusydi B
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Metals and alloy materials

description: Aluminum-Silicon (Al-Si) alloys are often preferred in the die casting industry due to excellent castability, high strength, corrosion resistance and low cost. Commonly, iron (Fe) is alloyed with the alloys to prevent die soldering. However, the addition of Fe in most of Al-Si alloys leads to formation of the intermetallic β-AlFeSi. The β-AlFeSi is harmful to the alloy structural integrity due to its needle-like morphology that creates stress concentration at the microscopic level. The phase presence is unfavorable to the mechanical properties and significantly reduces the elongation of the alloys. This research attempted to find viable way to control the morphology and formation of the β-AlFeSi phase. Thermodynamic simulations were done to investigate the sequence of intermetallic formation and other phases at different alloy compositions. The analysis of solidification paths of different alloys provided the correlation between the phase formation sequence and the fraction of the β-AlFeSi phase. The analysis also identified the feasible region of alloy design for minimizing the β-AlFeSi formation. Based on the thermodynamics simulation analysis, five alloys of different compositions were designed to validate the finding of the simulation. The tensile test results of the alloys indicated that lowering the Fe content increases the elongation of the alloy. The results also showed that elongation was reduced with the increase of Si level due to the formation of eutectic Silicon. The change of both Fe and Mn did not significantly affect the mechanical property of the alloy when the ratio of Fe to Mn was constant. Microscopic analysis showed that lowering the Fe level had effectively altered the morphology of the β-AlFeSi needle like structure. The β-AlFeSi was found to be smaller in terms of size when Fe is lower, subsequently reducing the probability of β-AlFeSi phase to be stress riser and crack initiation. The influence of heat treatment to the mechanical property of the alloys was also studied. The mechanical result on the heat-treated samples indicated that heat treatment is a viable method to improve the elongation property of the alloy. Microscopic observations showed that the β-AlFeSi phase was broken into shorter structures over the solution heat treatment process, resulting in better elongation.

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Invertebrate biology

description: Though it is well established that insects are attracted to decomposing vertebrates, little is known about the mechanism of attraction. Olfaction is thought to be the primary sense involved in resource location by necrophilous insects, and several studies have attempted to identify cadaveric-produced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to insect attraction. This previous research has been completed almost exclusively in lab settings, with no field studies to verify these findings. The goal of my thesis was to test necrophilous insect attraction to nine cadaveric VOCs (1-butanol, 1-pentanol, p­-xylene, o-xylene, ethanol, cyclohexanone, acetamide, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethyl trisulfide) in a field setting. Pitfall traps at six research locations were baited with the chemicals for one week. Specimens collected from the traps were identified and species assemblages were compared to those of a pig carcass. Replicates were conducted in fall 2018 and spring 2019. Two chemicals were identified as important attractants for a variety of necrophilous insects: dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide. These chemicals were especially attractive to Phormia regina, a blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) found worldwide. VOC insect communities did not include all of the insects found on carcasses, possibly indicating the necessity of chemical blends for effective attraction. This study is only the second study to test necrophilous insect attraction in a field setting.

description: Background: A risk-targeted prevention strategy may efficiently utilize limited resources available for prevention of overweight and obesity. Likewise, more efficient intervention trials could be designed if selection of subjects was based on risk. The aim of the study was to develop a risk score predicting substantial weight gain among German adults. Methods: We developed the risk score using information on 15 socio-demographic, dietary and lifestyle factors from 32 204 participants of five population-based German cohort studies. Substantial weight gain was defined as gaining ≥10% of weight between baseline and follow-up (>6 years apart). The cases were censored according to the theoretical point in time when the threshold of 10% baseline-based weight gain was crossed assuming linearity of weight gain. Beta coefficients derived from proportional hazards regression were used as weights to compute the risk score as a linear combination of the predictors. Cross-validation was used to evaluate the score’s discriminatory accuracy. Results: The cross-validated c index (95% CI) was 0.71 (0.67–0.75). A cutoff value of ≥475 score points yielded a sensitivity of 71% and a specificity of 63%. The corresponding positive and negative predictive values were 10.4% and 97.6%, respectively. Conclusions: The proposed risk score may support healthcare providers in decision making and referral and facilitate an efficient selection of subjects into intervention trials.

Power Harvesting from Shock Waves: the Axial Bladeless Turbine
Creators: name: Braun, James
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: A new class of bladeless turbines was developed which allows for power extraction from harsh environments with minimal maintenance cost. This is achieved through a wavy hub surface that promotes shocks and expansion fans and hence generates torque besides trust if used as bottoming or topping cycle. A numerical procedure to design, mesh, and model this new expansion device through steady and unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes simulations is outlined. Then, the full three-dimensional flow field is replicated using a two-dimensional geometry to enable a simpler test section with full optical access at the Purdue Experimental Turbine Aerothermal Lab. Pressure, heat flux, and skin friction are computed via several measurement techniques to provide an accurate estimation of the uncertainties on the power, efficiency, and heat flux of the bladeless turbine. High-frequency pressure sensors (160 kHz) along with a high-frequency heat flux sensor (atomic layer thermopile) are used to characterize the unsteady phenomena on the hub and the shroud. Unsteadiness in the flow field is assessed through 10 kHz shadowgraph, density gradients are quantitatively assessed via 3 kHz Background Oriented Schlieren, and unsteady velocity components and flow angles are characterized with 1 kHz Femtosecond Laser Electronic Excitation Tagging. A reduced order model is constructed with Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition to retrieve the dominant frequencies in the flow field, which could be associated with a multitude of shock-boundary layer, shock-shock, and shock-shear layer interactions.A parametric study and multi-objective optimization to maximize power extraction while minimizing pressure loss and heat flux are performed. The operational envelope and scaling of the bladeless turbine are described for several reduced mass flows, reduced speeds, and swirl angles. Based on all the gathered simulations, a guideline for the design of bladeless turbines is provided.
Finally, the operation of the bladeless turbine is analyzed considering the unsteady propagation of a rotating oblique shock throughout the passage. Non-dimensional parameters to generically describe rotating shocks are discussed, and their influence on the operation of the turbine is assessed. Correction terms for the power and pressure loss during the unsteady operation of the bladeless turbine are developed with results of this section.

description: Vor rund 10 Jahren, am 1. September 2007, trat das Bundesnichtraucherschutzgesetz in Kraft. Seither ist das Rauchen in öffentlichen Einrichtungen des Bundes, im öffentlichen Personenverkehr und in Personenbahnhöfen verboten. Bereits fünf Jahre zuvor war mit der Novellierung der Arbeitsstättenverordnung das Rauchen am Arbeitsplatz deutlich eingeschränkt worden. Es folgten die Nichtraucherschutzgesetze der Bundesländer mit entsprechenden Rauchverboten für öffentliche Einrichtungen, Gesundheits-, Kultur-, Sport- und Bildungseinrichtungen sowie – mit Ausnahmen – die Gastronomie. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die gesundheitlichen Risiken, die mit einer regelmäßigen Passivrauchbelastung einhergehen, und skizziert den Prozess der Nichtraucherschutzgesetzgebung in Deutschland. Darüber hinaus werden Studienergebnisse präsentiert, die zeigen, wie sich das Ausmaß der Passivrauchbelastung entwickelt hat, welche Bevölkerungsgruppen besonders stark exponiert sind und wie Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich abschneidet. Abschließend werden die gesundheitsbezogenen Effekte der Nichtraucherschutzgesetze erörtert und Empfehlungen diskutiert, wie die derzeit noch bestehenden Mängel im Nichtraucherschutz behoben werden können.

description: Background: Parasites can either respond to differences in immune defenses that exist between individual hosts plastically or, alternatively, follow a genetically canalized (“hard wired”) program of infection. Assuming that large-scale functional plasticity would be discernible in the parasite transcriptome we have performed a dual RNA-seq study of the lifecycle of Eimeria falciformis using infected mice with different immune status as models for coccidian infections. Results: We compared parasite and host transcriptomes (dual transcriptome) between naïve and challenge infected mice, as well as between immune competent and immune deficient ones. Mice with different immune competence show transcriptional differences as well as differences in parasite reproduction (oocyst shedding). Broad gene categories represented by differently abundant host genes indicate enrichments for immune reaction and tissue repair functions. More specifically, TGF-beta, EGF, TNF and IL-1 and IL-6 are examples of functional annotations represented differently depending on host immune status. Much in contrast, parasite transcriptomes were neither different between Coccidia isolated from immune competent and immune deficient mice, nor between those harvested from naïve and challenge infected mice. Instead, parasite transcriptomes have distinct profiles early and late in infection, characterized largely by biosynthesis or motility associated functional gene groups, respectively. Extracellular sporozoite and oocyst stages showed distinct transcriptional profiles and sporozoite transcriptomes were found enriched for species specific genes and likely pathogenicity factors. Conclusion: We propose that the niche and host-specific parasite E. falciformis uses a genetically canalized program of infection. This program is likely fixed in an evolutionary process rather than employing phenotypic plasticity to interact with its host. This in turn might limit the potential of the parasite to adapt to new host species or niches, forcing it to coevolve with its host.
Reading and writing philosophically engaged fiction—a creative and critical discourse with Simone de Beauvoir
Creators: name: Beaumont, Amanda
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: This practice-based research doctorate creatively and critically engages with Simone de Beauvoir’s existential phenomenological philosophy, her early fiction and her theories on the act of writing fiction. The doctoral research is in two parts: the creative component, a philosophically engaged novel, The Furies, and an essay, “Philosophically Engaged Fiction—The Resources Left to Us by Simone de Beauvoir.”

The Furies is a work of literary fiction set in regional Queensland in the 1990s and follows adolescent Cynthia on her journey from fixed isolation to becoming part of collective and powerful freedom. The work engages creatively with Simone de Beauvoir through reigniting and building on her phenomenological orientation and her existential ideas of Other and intersubjectivity, immanence, transcendence and freedom.

“Philosophically Engaged Fiction—The Resources Left to Us by Simone de Beauvoir” is built on a practice-led conceptual framework. Through an “engaged, critical reading” (Douglas et al. 254) of Beauvoir’s existential phenomenological philosophy, her early fiction and her theories on the act of writing fiction, as well as reading-back to The Second Sex to support access to, understanding of and developing new creative and critical thought, I employ a “slow motion” (Brower 3) reading practice as I build an “iterative cyclic web” (Smith and Dean 2), documenting and reflecting upon my phenomenological orientation in the process of writing new fiction—The Furies.

description: Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis (Bcbva) is a member of the B. cereus group which carries both B. anthracis virulence plasmids, causes anthrax-like disease in various wildlife species and was described in several sub-Saharan African rainforests. Long-term monitoring of carcasses in Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire, revealed continuous wildlife mortality due to Bcbva in a broad range of mammalian species. While non-lethal anthrax infections in wildlife have been described for B. anthracis, nothing is known about the odds of survival following an anthrax infection caused by Bcbva. To address this gap, we present the results of a serological study of anthrax in five wildlife species known to succumb to Bcbva in this ecosystem. Specific antibodies were only detected in two out of 15 wild red colobus monkeys (Procolobus badius) and one out of 10 black-and-white colobus monkeys (Colobus polykomos), but in none of 16 sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys), 9 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) and 9 Maxwell’s duikers (Cephalophus maxwellii). The combination of high mortality and low antibody detection rates indicates high virulence of this disease across these different mammalian species.
ELECTROCHEMICAL DETERMINATION OF PH USING PAPER-BASED DEVICES
Creators: name: Metangmo, Armelle
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Analytical chemistry not elsewhere classified

description: The research presented in this thesis describes the development of an electrochemical microfluidic paper-based analytical device for pH-sensing. Chapter 2 describes the importance of pH and provides examples of techniques used to measure pH. In Chapter 4, preliminary tests on the electrochemical microfluidic paper-based analytical devices demonstrate the feasibility of pH measurements. Chapter 5 describes three different approaches for modification of the surface of the electrodes painted on the paper-based devices: sodium carbonate, plasma treatment with air, and pure oxygen plasma treatment. Chapter 6 describes changes made to the design of the paper-based devices and the addition of a conditioning step to improve the definition of redox peaks and improve the precision of the method for measuring pH. In Chapter 7, the optimized paper-based device and method are applied to measure the pH of various solutions pH ranging from 1 to 13.

A Numerical Study of Heat Transfer in Bubbly Flows
Creators: name: Bhuvankar, Pramod R
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Two-phase flow and heat transfer has a wide variety of applications ranging from nuclear power plants to computer chip cooling. The efficient designs of these systems require a clear understanding of the mechanisms by which two-phase flows enhance heat transfer. With the rapid growth in computing power, Computational Fluid Dynamics is becoming an increasingly reliable predictive tool to understand the physics underlying two-phase flow and heat transfer. We identify the two chief phenomenaaffecting heat transfer in two-phase flows as being the improved convective effect in bubbly flows, and the phase change phenomenon. We examine three key aspects ofbubbly flows in the present work namely: a) The flow of bubbles near vertical walls, b) the heat transfer associated with a non-condensable bubble rising near a vertical wall, and c) the heat transfer associated with boiling and condensation involving bubbles.
The first part involves studying the rise velocity of a layer of bubbles rising near a vertical wall. We derive a scaling between the rise velocity based Reynold’s number and the Archimedes number. The second part involves examining the flow pattern around a single bubble rising under the buoyancy effect in a shear flow near a heated wall, and how it affects the heat transfer from the wall. We study the dependence of the fractional improvement in Nusselt number at the wall on various non-dimensional parameters such as the Archimedes number, the Laplace number and the shear rate. Our study shows the existence of an optimum dimensionless shear rate for heat transfer enhancement and a strong dependence between the flow pattern around the bubble and its associated heat transfer enhancement. The third part involves building a numerical model to study flow boiling in micro-channels. We validate the proposed model with two benchmark problems and two experimental studies. The validated numerical tool is then used to understand the effect of varying the micro-channel inlet flow rate on its heat transfer characteristics. This numerical tool is further developed to include a stagnant micro-layer model that can simulate nucleate boiling. We then use it to study the flow boiling characteristics of a line of bubbles undergoing boiling and lift-off in a shear flow. In the end, based on existing literature in the field, we propose future tasks to be undertaken in the area of numerical two-phase flow.
