Chemical Reaction Processes in Microscale-Based Reactors; Mathematical Model and Numerical Simulation of the Fischer-Tropsch Process and Activation of Methane in a Corona Discharge Plasma Reactor

Creator:: Traverso, Andrew C.
Abstract:: Worldwide production of natural gas has surged in the last few decades leading to an economic windfall for many communities, but sometimes these new sources of natural gas are located in geographically isolated locations. These areas are so remote that it isn’t economically feasible to transport this stranded gas to...

Bacteriophages for Leuconostoc oenos : a survey of Oregon wineries

Creator:: Eschelbach, Matthew Michael
Abstract:: A study of malolactic bacteria of the Leuconostoc genus, especially L. oenos, and their bacteriophages was conducted. A search for the presence of infectious bacteriophages in grapes, musts, and juices employed in malo-lactic fermentation (MLF) was conducted; no evidence, either physical or biological, was found for the existence of these...

Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

Creator:: Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
Abstract:: Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

Potential utilization of western juniper residues

Creator:: Sichamba, Kennedy
Abstract:: Logging and forest thinning operations generate large amounts of residues in the form of small trees, branches and foliage that are usually left on the ground to decay or are burned. These resources are readily available, but it is uneconomical to remove them from the forest. The potential utilization of...

Innovation in China's furniture industry

Creator:: Cao, Xiaozhi
Abstract:: Innovation is considered the ultimate drive for business success. Fast growing furniture imports from China have become a controversial topic within U.S. wood and furniture industries. Low-cost production, which is stereotypically considered as the major competitive advantage of the Chinese-made products, has received considerable attention by a large body of...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the high oleic acid phenotype in sunflower

Creator:: Schuppert, Gunnar Felix
Abstract:: Wildtype sunflower typically produces 12-24% oleic acid (18:1) and 70-82% linoleic acid (18:2). High-oleic sunflower, by contrast, produces up to 80-94% oleic acid. The monounsaturated oleic acid has a greater oxidative stability than the polyunsaturated linoleic acid, predominant in wildtype sunflower, and has greater nutritional benefits than polyunsaturated and saturated...

The Use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Computer Vision in Tree Level Modeling

Creator:: Gabriel, Richard S.
Abstract:: Laser Scanning represents a new opportunity in forestry to effect meaningful change in the methods used for collection and analysis of inventory data. With the ability to collect spatial information in 360 degrees, while fluidly tracking the sensor and building the final point cloud, large tracks of terrestrial LiDAR based...

Quantification of resin efficiency in wood composite panels

Creator:: Lampert, Nicholas S.
Abstract:: Efficient usage of resin is of critical importance to industry in the manufacture of wood composite panels, because resin represents a significant proportion of product costs. However, resin efficiency is poorly defined in literature, making it difficult to compare manufacturing processes in quantifiable terms. Additionally, resin content in the product...

Variation in adaptive traits of coastal Douglas-fir : genetic and environmental components

Creator:: Balduman, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Cold hardiness and phenology are important adaptive traits for perennial plant species in temperate climates. Timing of growth, dormancy, and associated cold acclimation and deacclimation represents a delicate balance between maximizing growth under favorable conditions and minimizing frost damage under unfavorable conditions. Geographic patterns of genetic variation in adaptive traits,...
