In Their Own Voices: A Conversation with Howard W. Riley: Early Agricultural Engineering at Cornell University
(Internet-First University Press, 2007)In August of 1963, Dr. Gould Colman, University Archivist Emeritus, interviewed Professor Howard W. Riley, who was the head of the Department of Agricultural Engineering from 1907-1945. In these interviews, Professor Riley ... -
In Vitro Scaffold Construction for a Bio-artificial Liver
(2004-06-17)The main focus of this investigation is to design a scaffold that will accommodate a growing Bio-Artificial Liver (BAL) with oxygen. The two design objectives are to find the maximum length and the distance between the ... -
An Injectable Oxygen and VEGF Releasing Hydrogel for Cardiac Tissue Regeneration
(2021-05)The purpose of this study was to determine the design requirements of an injectable fibrin hydrogel as a viable tool in delivering sufficient oxygen (O2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to hypoxic tissue to ... -
Investigation of Pulp Pressure Dynamics by Modeling the Topical Application of 50% Lidocaine HCl in the Human Premolar
(2018-05-10)The purpose of this research is to perform a time study on local anesthetics in dental surgery to provide insight on the inner workings pulp pressure dynamics. The dynamics of the pulp pressure when the dentin surface is ... -
Laser Ablation for Cardiac Tissue Oxygenation
(2017-05-18)The leading cause of myocardial infarctions, commonly known as heart attacks, is the reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to plaque buildup in the coronary artery. Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) is ... -
Laser Hair Removal
(2004-11-12)Laser hair removal, through a process known as selective photothermolysis, is a new trendy way to remove all that unwanted hair. Traditional methods such as waxing, tweezing, shaving and electrolysis each have their ... -
Laser Hair Removal: Comparative Study of Light Wavelength and its Effect on Laser Hair Removal
(2009-05-08)For some people, hirsuteness (having excess body hair) can be an embarrassing problem. Many attempts have been made to find a solution to these problems, including electrolysis, tweezing, shaving, and waxing. However, most ... -
Laser Interstitial Thermo-Therapy in Hepatic Tissue
(2006-05-24)Laser Interstitial ThermoTherapy (LITT) is a well establish surgical method used in the treatment of tumors. This study analyzes the extent of tissue damage when using LITT in a liver. GAMBIT and FIDAP was used to model ... -
Laser Irradiation of Tumors for the Treatment of Cancer: An Analysis of Blood Flow, Temperature and Oxygen Transport
(2007-07-10)It has been shown that hypoxic tumor cells are resistant to radiation and that increasing tumor oxygen levels via laser-mediated hyperthermia treatment increases tumor cell radiosensitivity. Hence, studies of the effects ... -
Life Under the Ice: The Effect of Ice Development on Photosynthetic Submerged Plants
(2018-05-10)Many submerged plants rely on photosynthesis as a means to obtain sugars and oxygen. Plants that inhabit deeper regions have limited exposure to sunlight, as light irradiance decreases exponentially with increasing distance ... -
Long Term Flux Profile of Implanon Birth Control Implant
(2010-05-21)Hormonal birth control methods have become increasingly popular since 2000, as the technology becomes more convenient for users, moving from daily pills, to weekly patches, to yearly implants. Implanon is an example of a ... -
Lord of the Mood Rings
(2003-06-17)Our main objective is to study the mechanisms by which heat transfer taking place in the human finger will affect the color change in the mood ring. This project uses GAMBIT and FIDAP to model the heat transfer from the ... -

MacElastic : Instructional Finite Element Analysis for Solving Elasticity Problems With the Macintosh®
(Cooke Publications, Ithaca, New York, 1989)Finite Element Analysis is a numerical method for solving problems by breaking the physical space into discrete “elements” for which the approximate solution is known. The composite of these finite elements is used to form ... -
MacPoisson: Instructional Finite Element Analysis for Solving Poisson’s Equation With the Macintosh®
(Cooke Publications, Ithaca, New York, 1989)Two major obstacles to widespread use of the FEM in the undergraduate curriculum have been addressed by MacPoisson™. First, there has been little finite element software developed specifically for the novice user. Commercial ... -
