dissertation addresses (1) how growth conditions impact cellular composition, and (2)
how chemometric approaches (such as statistical design of experiments and artificial
neural networks) are viable alternatives to the… more Full Text: Using ultra high-resolution mass spectrometry to characterize the biosorbent Euglena gracilis and its application to dysprosium biosorption A dissertation submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the …
