Prenatal alcohol exposure is known to cause chronic behavioral impairment and neurocognitive deficits diagnosed as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). With a prevalence of one in every twenty children affected by ...

Gas-liquid mass transfer was examined on scale-up from a laboratory-scale fermentor (~1.3 L) to larger bioreactors (20-145 L). Correlations were developed to model the lumped mass transfer coefficient (kLa) as a function ...

Rising sea levels due to climate change combined with increasing economic activity along coastal areas necessitate effective coastal defenses. Ships laden with heavy cargo can generate large wave groups that may erode ...

A one dimensional model of blood flow in the human arterial system has been reformulated to handle recirculation of blood, a phenomenon that occurs in the cerebral arteries of the brain. This model has also been made modular ...

The advent of general purpose graphics processing units (GPGPU’s) brings about a whole new platform for running numerically intensive applications at high speeds. Their multi-core architectures enable large degrees of ...
