Monte Carlo random walk simulation as a complement to experimental and theoretical approaches : application to mass transfer in fish muscle tissue

Creator:: Almonacid-Merino, Sergio Felipe
Abstract:: Mass transfer processes in food systems, such as solute infusion, are poorly understood because of their complex nature. Food systems contain porous matrices and a variety of continuous phases within cellular tissues. Mass transfer processes are generally not pure diffusion: often convection, binding and obstructing diffusion will occur. Monte Carlo...

A network approach for the mechanistic classification of bioactive compounds

Creator:: Siebert, Trina A.
Abstract:: Using network architecture to describe a biological system is an effective organizational method. The utility of this approach, which generally applies to qualitative models, is enhanced by the addition of quantitative models characterizing the interactions between network nodes. A chromatophore-based signal transduction network is developed, and the highly interconnected major...

Thermodynamics of non-dilute saline solutions in variably saturated porous media

Creator:: Burns, Erick R.
Abstract:: Non-dilute salt strength solutions occur in many near surface geologic environments. In order to better understand the occurrence and movement of the water and salt, mathematical models for this non-ideal fluid need to be developed. Initial boundary value problems may then be solved to predict behavior for comparison with observations....

Antimicrobial contaminant removal by multi-stage drinking water filtration

Creator:: Rooklidge, Stephen J.
Abstract:: The fate of antimicrobials entering the aquatic environment is an increasing concern for researchers and regulators, and recent research has focused on antimicrobial contamination from point sources, such as wastewater treatment facility outfalls. The terraccumulation of antimicrobials and mobility in diffuse pollution pathways should not be overlooked as a contributor...

Land treatment system design with system parameter optimization support model

Creator:: Hagimoto, Yutaka
Abstract:: Increasing costs for wastewater treatment provide incentives to evaluate system alternatives, especially among small communities with limited financial resources. Land treatment systems with hybrid poplar tree plantations are becoming increasingly popular as one such alternative in the Pacific Northwest. Land treatment systems are made up of a complex dual system:...

Quantification and reactivity of cellulose reducing ends : implication for cellulose

Creator:: Kongruang, Sasithorn
Abstract:: The primary purpose of this study was to (1) develop methods for the analysis of and (2) provide information on the chemical nature of reducing ends in typical cellulose substrates used for the study of cellulolytic enzymes. The studies were designed such that values obtained for cellulose substrates were compared...

Studies in preparative chromatography

Creator:: Zhang, Ling
Abstract:: Preparative chromatography is the most widely used purification method in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. Here, one theoretical and one practical problem of preparative chromatography are investigated. The theoretical problem deals with the effect of experimental error on the precision of adsorption isotherm parameters estimated by numerical method. Numerical method...

Model assessment of the effects of land use change on hydrologic response

Creator:: Vache, Kellie B.
Abstract:: The effect of landuse change on the hydrologic, biogeochemical and ecological response of watersheds is a concern throughout the world. To help characterize the potential magnitude of such changes, and of the potential to remediate or avoid undesirable features, studies focused on the cumulative watershed effects of site level change...

Development and evaluation of multiple criteria decision-making approaches to watershed management

Creator:: Lamy, France
Abstract:: Decision-making in environmental management is complex due to the multiplicity arid diversity of management objectives and technological choices. This suggests that modelers and experts could utilize (I) multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches to assist stakeholder groups in integrating and synthesizing relevant data and information to address ecological and socio-economic concerns and...

New tools and approaches to uncertainty estimation in complex ecological models

Creator:: Brugnach, Marcela
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the problem of uncertainty in complex ecological models. The term "complex" is used to convey both the common and scientific meanings. Increasingly, ecological models have become complex because they are more complicated; ecological models are generally multi-variate and multi-leveled in structure. Many ecological models are complex because...
