Controlled loading of cryoprotectants (CPAS) with cell volume constraints
(University of Missouri--ColumbiaUniversity of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Oocyte cryopreservation techniques are considered very important aspects in biomedical research for oocyte and embryo cryopreservation to be used in ...
MEMS parallel plate variable capacitor for energy harvesting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years, there is a dramatic increase in use of portable, wireless sensors and actuators which are widely powered by batteries. However, these ...
Amorphous silicon germanium oxide (Si[sub]xGe[sub]yO[sub]1-x-y) thin films for uncooled infrared microbolometer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation presents a detailed characterization of amorphous Silicon Germanium Oxide (Si-Ge-O) thin films for uncooled infrared (IR) microbolometers. ...
MEMS energy harvesters with a wide bandwidth for low frequency vibrations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
We have designed and built macro-scale wideband electrostatic and electromagnetic power harvesters for low frequency vibration. Initially, MEMS capacitive plates for power harvesting have been designed, modeled and fabricated, ...
A mems variable capacitor with barium titanate (BaTiO3) dielectric layer for energy harvesting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the research, a MEMS variable capacitor for electrostatic energy harvester was developed. The device uses the undesirable environmental mechanical ...
