Fundamental understanding of structural relaxation time is important in characterization of food materials. Various relationships, such as Arrhenius, VogelTammann-Fulcher (VTF), Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) and Angell’s fragility have been used to model the temperature dependence of structural relaxation times of amorp…

Cellulose is one of the most popular natural fibers in the textile and apparel industries. The cultivation of cotton can have negative impacts on the environment. For example, over 20,000 liters of water is needed to produce enough cotton for a single pair of jeans and a T-Shirt (World Wildlife Fund, 2016). Bacterial…

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have gained renewed interest due to their high energy-conversion efficiency, new discovery of fossil fuel sources, and low greenhouse gas emission. However, performance degradation during long-term operation is one of the greatest challenges to overcome for commercialization of SOFCs. At…

Mixture of magnesium oxide with either silica fume or phosphate were prepared in this research. The workability, mechanical properties and the microstructure of the two magnesium based binder were examined. Compressive strength tests showed that the magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) gained early strength much faster th…

In this thesis, we consider the electronic properties of bilayer graphene in a steady, parallel magnetic field. Using the tight–binding model, and taking into account relevant tight–binding parameters, we find a new contribution to the electronic Hamiltonian describing the orbital effect of the magnetic field. We cons…

In the recent decades, there has been much interest in functionalized surfaces produced by ultrafast laser processing. Using pulse lasers with nanosecond to femtosecond time scale, a wide range of micro/nanoscale structures can be produced on virtually all metal surfaces. These surface structures create special optoel…
