Ultrasonic positive pressure generator for the production of size-constrained (1 – 5 μm) aerosols from liquid solutions and nanocrystalline suspensions together with an analytical system for assessing the degree of microscopic particulate contamination present in the aerosol.
Computer-controlled device for the high-resolution measurement of surface tension, viscosity and adhesive properties of liquids derived from damaged environmental sites as a means to monitor remediation efforts.
Biofilms consist of millions of sessile bacterial cells in mats many thousands of layers deep, completely encased in a dense polysaccharide complex that renders them virtually impervious to antibiotics and chemical poisons (biocides). Biofilm related problems cost industry billions of dollars annually by corroding pipes and plugging systems, resulting in equipment failures, environmental damage and…
