Creator:: Conway, Sean P.
Abstract:: 1,4-Dioxane (dioxane) and cis-dichloroethylene (cDCE) are compounds commonly found in industrial cleaning and degreasing agents that are frequently present as groundwater contaminants. In an effort to develop a more effective treatment method for these compounds, hydrogel beads were fabricated with either gellan gum or a combination of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)...

Creator:: Lopez, David A.
Abstract:: Stormwater runoff is a significant cause for impairment of many water bodies, a problem that will inevitably escalate due to increasing land-cover change associated with urbanization. The effect of stormwater runoff has spurred legislation and the subsequent development and adoption of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to treat stormwater. This work...

Creator:: Bartow, Shannon M.
Abstract:: The rising demand on freshwater resources emphasizes the benefit of biogeochemical processes that maintain clean water by removing pollutants such as excess nitrogen. The most sensitive step in the removal of nitrogen from waterways is the oxidation of ammonia, a part of nitrification, which is carried out by ammonia oxidizing...

Creator:: McKibben, S. Morgaine
Abstract:: Two bloom-detection products were developed for the Oregon coast that describe the relative percent change observed between successive pairs of 8-day chlorophyll-a (CHL) and fluorescence line-height (FLH) products obtained from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua spacecraft (MODIS-Aqua). The CHL[subscript dev] and FLH[subscript dev] products, respectively, were optimized...

Creator:: Coussens, Nathaniel J.
Abstract:: Synthetic methods for the preparation of magnetic nanocomposites with improved high frequency (into the GHz range) performance over conventional magnetic materials were examined. The most successful work involved synthesis of nanocrystalline zero valent iron particles (nc-Fe) through a reverse micelle method. Here, aqueous Fe(II) solution micelles formed using cetyl trimethylammonium...
