The focus of this research was to develop a process suitable for creating very high resolution conductive patterns on polymer substrates, in a way that can be scaled to high volume manufacturing. The original motivation ...

Constant denaturant capillary electrophoresis (CDCE) is a DNA separation technique that allows the detection of mutants at a fraction of 10Ì„⁻⁶. CDCE uses a region of constant temperature and constant denaturant concentration ...

This thesis explores two distinct methods of micro-array manufacture for high throughput pharmaceutical scanning. The first method, impact shaping of polymers, is a novel, inexpensive way to form large numbers of small ...

Components for on-chip storage and delivery of liquid reagent are necessary for many commercial applications of lab-on-a-chip technology. One such system uses a 'blister pack' that is pushed by an actuator. Over the course ...

The ability to resolve complex myofiber populations is important for relating architectural structure with mechanical unction in muscular tissues. To address this issue, we sought to validate the capacity of Diffusion ...

This work analyzes the market characteristics of future oil tanker operations with a particular emphasis on those aspects which will have a potential impact on the design of future vessels. The market analysis model used ...
