Specificity of quantitatively expressed host resistance to Mycosphaerella graminicola

Creator:: Krenz, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: The specificity of quantitative host resistance to plant disease has long been a controversial issue. We examined interactions between wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Mycosphaerella graminicola, causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, to determine whether specific interactions occur between host and pathogen genotypes that could be involved in eroding quantitatively expressed...

Evaluating the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with carbon-containing solid substrates

Creator:: Hart, Jeffrey L.
Abstract:: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the rates of nitrate removal for a nitrate containing, low organic carbon wastewater interacting with four different carbon-containing solid substrates (alder woodchips, corn silage, manure and woodchip biochar). Batch systems were tested for nitrate removal, and systems with a combination of...

Nitrate derived from Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (NOWTS): A Study of Public Perceptions, Politics, and Perpetual Permitting in the Western US

Creator:: Demaree, David E.
Abstract:: Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS; septic systems, compost toilets, etc.) used to treat wastewater in rural areas have the potential to contaminate groundwater (that is used as a water source) with nitrate. There have been decades of scientific and political conflicts concerning the issue of nitrate from OWTS (NOWTS, pronounced...

Development of Practical Accelerated Testing Protocols for the Performance Evaluation of Concrete against Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete

Creator:: Erbektas, Ali Riza
Abstract:: Sustainable wastewater infrastructure systems are vital for civilizations to protect public health. Most of the structural elements of wastewater infrastructure are constructed using concrete owing to its versatility, low cost, and durability. Concrete structures that are exposed to wastewater can experience Microbially Induced Corrosion of Concrete (MICC), which is a...

Nucleic Acid Based Therapeutics for Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

Creator:: McKinney, Madison J.
Abstract:: Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease caused by a single gene mutation in the CFTR protein. Affecting 70,000 people worldwide, this disease is debilitating to patients, resulting in persistent lung infections and decreased quality of life. Due to the various mutation types, there is not currently a single drug...

Assessing the toxicity of nanoplastics using the primary human bronchial epithelial model

Creator:: Germano, Francesca
Abstract:: Emerging data showing the presence of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) has recently raised awareness surrounding the potential of human nanoplastics (NPs) exposure. Due to factors such as weathering, UV exposure, and other biodegradation processes, plastic pollution in the environment breaks down over time into micro (<5 micrometers) and nanoscale (<1000nm) particles....

Evaluation of Serratia Ureilytica as a Greener Unsealed Road Stabilization Method

Creator:: Portugal, Carla Ribeiro Machado e
Abstract:: Covering half of South America, Brazil is one of the largest agricultural and commercial forest producers globally, with a correspondingly complex road network necessary to support the production and marketing processes of such goods. Contrary to global statistics, almost 90% of the country’s road network is classified as unsealed or...

Metabolic Analysis of Bovine Nucleus Pulposus Cells with Constant and Variable Glucose Supply

Creator:: Rosene, Rees Alan
Abstract:: There is no standardized method for culture of intervertebral disc (IVD) cells when monitoring metabolic processes. We hypothesize that the metabolic rates of cells that are crucial to experiment designs depend on the cell culture method used. The glycolytic pathway and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are the pathways through...

Linguistic Choices as a Feature of Engineering Identity

Creator:: Capehart, Ron L.
Abstract:: Engineering practice is aptly described as a unique culture, shaped by a long history of social learning, norms and values. As these systems and values have been constructed to the benefit of white men, it is unsurprising that the study of engineering culture has revealed many structures working against the...

Optimization of Wastewater Sampling and Concentration Methods to Accurately Detect and Quantify SARS-CoV-2 in Varying Scales of Catchment

Creator:: George, Andrea D.
Abstract:: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was unprepared for such a massive challenge to global health. Individual testing kits and personal protective equipment were scarce. There were minimal ways to track the rapid spread of the disease, until researchers discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19,...

The effects of single and multiple pathogen and parasite infections on juvenile chinook and coho salmon during early marine residency

Creator:: Sandell, Todd A.
Abstract:: Nearly 3000 juvenile Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho (O. kisutch) salmon captured in nearshore waters off the coasts of Washington and Oregon from 1999-2004 were tested for infection by Renibacterium salmoninarum, Nanophyetus salmincola, and skin metacercariae. First, three quantitative PCR primer/probe sets were compared for detection of R. salmoninarum; amplification...

Construction of a model organism for performing calcium carbonate precipitation in a porous media reactor

Creator:: Kaufman, Megan J.
Abstract:: Aquifers are an important storage location and source of fresh groundwater. They may become polluted by a number of contaminants including mobile divalent radionuclides such as strontium-90 which is a byproduct of uranium fission. A method for remediating such divalent radionuclides is sequestration through co-precipitation into calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate...
