Effect of silver nanoparticles on planktonic and biofilm cell growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are one of the most widely used nanoparticles, most notably serving as an antimicrobial agent for sanitization and medical purposes. Despite of their widespread use, little was known about the ...
Aquatic toxicity of one dimensional carbon nanomaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This study determined the toxicity of one dimensional carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) to amphipods, midge, oligochaetes and juvenile mussels in water and sediment. As-produced or modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silicon ...
Use of fluorescence excitation emission matrix spectroscopy for water and wastewater characterization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Excitation Emission Matrix Spectroscopy (EEMS) has the potential to be used for the real time monitoring of environmental effects on water and ...
Volume change and swelling pressure of expansive clay in the crystalline swelling regime
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A significant amount of research has been carried out to characterize expansive clay behavior from either microstructural or macrostructural perspectives; however, there exists a current gap in our knowledge about the basic ...
