Metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria to optimize photobiological hydrogen production

Creator:: Luterra, Markael
Abstract:: Photobiological hydrogen production -- the use of photosynthesis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen -- presents an opportunity for efficient and large-scale solar biofuel development. One of the major challenges in this area is competition for reductant between the hydrogen-evolving hydrogenase enzyme and other metabolic pathways. In this work...

River restoration practitioner survey on engineering design for climate change

Creator:: Tullos, Desiree
Abstract:: An online survey of river restoration practitioners, engineers, and researchers was conducted to examine current practices and perspectives on how climate change is integrated into engineering designs for river restoration. Seventy-six responses were submitted to the survey. While the responses came from a wide range of demographies, respondents were most...

Metabolic engineering of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 for microbial fuel cell application

Creator:: Hall, Robert G. (Robert George)
Abstract:: Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacteria with the capability of dissimilatory metal reduction. The ability of the organism to reduce a wide range of solid metal-oxides during anaerobic respiration makes it an ideal candidate for the powering of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which capture the electrons discharged...

Economic feasibility and environmental life cycle assessment of ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstock in Pacific Northwest U.S.

Creator:: Juneja, Ankita, Kumar, Deepak, and Murthy, Ganti S.
Abstract:: Bioethanol produced from the lignocellulosic feedstock is a potential alternative to fossil fuels in transportation sector and can help in reducing environmental burdens. Straw produced from perennial ryegrass (PR) and wheat is a non-food, cellulosic biomass resource available in abundance in the Pacific Northwest U.S. The aim of this study...

Effects of vegetation canopy density and bank angle on near-bank patterns of turbulence and Reynolds stresses

Creator:: Czarnomski, Nicole M., Tullos, Desiree D., Thomas, Robert E., and Simon, Andrew
Abstract:: Vegetation growing on the surface of a streambank has been shown to alter the shear stresses applied to the boundary, but basic questions remain regarding the influence of vegetation and streambank configurations on near-bank hydraulics. In the present study, Froude-scaled flume experiments were used to investigate how changes in vegetation...

Biophysical, Socioeconomic, and Geopolitical Vulnerabilities to Hydropower Development on the Nu River, China

Creator:: Tullos, Desiree D., Foster-Moore, Eric, Magee, Darrin, Tilt, Bryan, Wolf, Aaron T., Schmitt, Edwin, Gassert, Francis, and Kibler, Kelly
Abstract:: Rapid hydropower development is occurring in China's Yunnan province in response to increasing clean energy demands, exposing potential vulnerabilities of the area's ecosystems, communities, and geopolitical systems. Here, we present original data on the cultures, economics, hydro-politics, and environments of the Nu River basin, based on household surveys, analysis of...

A Tale of Two Spills: Novel Science and Policy Implications of an Emerging New Oil Spill Model

Creator:: Peterson, Charles H., Anderson, Sean S., Cherr, Gary N., Ambrose, Richard F., Anghera, Shelly, Bay, Steven, Blum, Michael, Condon, Robert, Dean, Thomas A., Graham, Monty, Guzy, Michael, Hampton, Stephanie, Joye, Samantha, Lambrinos, John, Mate, Bruce, Meffert, Douglas, Powers, Sean P., Somasundaran, Ponisseril, Spies, Robert B., Taylor, Caz M., Tjeerdema, Ronald, and Adams, E. Eric
Abstract:: The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil release posed the challenges of two types of spill: a familiar spill characterized by buoyant oil, fouling and killing organisms at the sea surface and eventually grounding on and damaging sensitive shoreline habitats, and a novel deepwater spill involving many unknowns. The subsurface retention of...

Carbon monoxide as a tracer of gas transport in snow and other natural porous media

Creator:: Huwald, Hendrik, Selker, John S., Tyler, Scott W., Calaf, Marc, van de Giesen, Nick C., and Parlange, Marc B.
Abstract:: The movement of air in natural porous media is complex and challenging to measure. Yet gas transport has important implications, for instance, for the evolution of the seasonal snow cover and for water vapor transport in soil. A novel in situ multi-sensor measurement system providing high-resolution observation of gas transport...
