Ultra-high voltage 4H-SiC bi-directional insulated gate bipolar transistors
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)4H- Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC) is an attractive material for power semiconductor devices due to its large bandgap, high critical electric field and high thermal conductivity compared to Silicon (Si). For ultra-high voltage ... -
Ultrafitration surface modification for fouling mitigation with applications to water reuse
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)The second goal was to improve the MFC cathode by developing a three-layer composite membrane that includes antifouling, electron conductive, and oxygen reducing properties. To achieve these goals, we prepared a modifying ... -
Ultraperformance liquid chromatography with electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry for chondroitin disaccharide analysis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Ultrasensitive analysis of glycosaminoglycans by capillary electrophoresis coupled with laser induced fluorescence detection
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)Rapid and high-sensitive determination of carbohydrate components of glycoconjugates is critical for the advancement of glycobiology. However, conventional methods pose great challenges because of the low concentration of ... -
Ultrasonic bonding of membrane electrode assemblies for low temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12) -
Ultrasonic consolidation of thermoplastic composite prepreg for automated tape layup
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)There is an industry need to manufacture advanced thermoplastic composite parts faster, cheaper and with less waste as interest in these materials continues to grow. For example, although hot gas torch heating is a ... -
Ultrasonic data transmission through a rebar-reinforced concrete acoustic channel
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)For cases in which digital data must be transferred through a solid object while maintaining its structural integrity, commonplace methods using radio waves or wires running through the object may be impractical. Materials ... -
Ultrasonic sealing of PEM fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05) -
Ultrasonic through-wall communication techniques
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
Uncanny tourism : rhetorical placemaking in Sleepy Hollow, NY
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-05)In the village of Sleepy Hollow, NY, local author Washington Irving’s 1819 short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is the basis for a Halloween season tourism industry. Combining a rhetorical analysis enriched by ... -
Uncertainty management in the analysis and optimization of multiscale composite materials
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05) -
Uncle Sam is dead
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2006-12)This thesis explores the relationship between built space and power. It begins with a personal narrative followed by readings of space from a feminist lens. The feminist perspective gives way to analyzing both manifestations ... -
Uncomputable games : games for crowdsourcing formal reasoning
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)This work presents two games, the Catabot Rescue Game (CRG) and the Catabot Building Game (CBG), that capture theorem proving in first-order logic. The scope of the thesis is to invent and design the first games which both ... -
Understanding and controlling wetting phenomena at the micro/nanoscale
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08) -
Understanding and design of intermediate glass
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)The most pronounced elastic anomalies that appear in silica and silica-rich glasses are the positive temperature derivative and negative pressure derivative of bulk modulus, as compared with normal glasses, such as window ... -
Understanding and improvement of eVTOL UAV performance through high-fidelity analysis of interactional aerodynamics
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)The reduced cost and complexity of these designs has lead to research endeavors attempting to model the flight dynamics of the vehicle with low-order, computationally efficient models. The lowest of these models simply ... -
Understanding and overcoming trade-offs between antibody affinity, stability and specificity
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)As a result, we have identified an antibody that displays excellent conformational specificity as well as natural antibody-like specificity. We also investigated the molecular origins of the high specificity of this unique ... -
Understanding cell wall lytic enzyme behavior in microbial consortium and bacterial growth supporting environments
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)However, there was a reduction in the antimicrobial efficacy of both Lst and PlyPH in the actively growing consortium compared to non-growing conditions. Lst and PlyPH were found to be inhibited by proteases secreted during ...
