I Credits 3.00 Spring 01 Development and application of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Includes a detailed study of nonideal solutions. Also offered as BIOE 460. Course may be repeated for credit. Course may be repeated for credit.
Projects involve topics of current research interest.
Students are expected to know thermodynamics and to have had some introduction to statistical mechanics. This course will focus on cell-cell interactions and the role of the extracellular matrix in the structure and function of normal and pathological tissues. Includes strategies to regenerate mebabolic organs and repair structural tissues, as well as cell-based therapies to deliver proteins and other therapeutic drugs, with emphasis on issues related to cell and tissue transplantation such as substrate properties, angiogenesis, growth stimulation, cell differentiation, and immunoprotection. 3.00 Spring 01 Calculation of multicomponent-multiphase transport in one to three dimensions using finite difference methods. Includes development of multidimensional models of systems and representation and estimation of geological heterogeneity.
