Effects of substrate interactions, toxicity, and bacterial response during cometabolism of chlorinted solvents by nitrifying bacteria

Creator:: Ely, Roger L.
Abstract:: Cometabolic biodegradation processes, important for bioremediation of hazardous waste sites, are not well understood and have not been modeled thoroughly. Toxic effects and bacterial responses to toxicity may change intracellular enzyme levels, rendering traditional enzyme kinetics models inappropriate. This document presents a novel cometabolic enzyme kinetics model that incorporates enzyme...

Classification of Icelandic watersheds and rivers to explain life history strategies of Atlantic salmon

Creator:: Gudjonsson, Sigurdur
Abstract:: A hierarchical classification system of Iceland's watersheds and rivers is presented. The classification is based on Iceland's substrate, climate, water, biota, and human cultural influences. The geological formations of Iceland are very different in character depending on their age and formation history. Three major types of formations occur: Tertiary, Plio-Pleistocene,...

Giving color to Oregon's gray water market : an analysis of price determinants for water right

Creator:: Landry, Clay J.
Abstract:: Many parts of the West are experiencing substantial growth pressures that have increased the demand for water. These new demands come at a time when most of the water in the West has been fully appropriated by traditional uses such as agriculture, mining, and industry. Some attempts are being made...

Introgression between jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica) and wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Creator:: Snyder, Jeremy R.
Abstract:: Hybrids between wheat and jointed goatgrass have long been presumed to be sterile; however, seed were found on hybrid plants in 1990. Field studies were conducted in 1995 and repeated in 1996. One to ten hybrid plants were planted in variable populations of wheat and jointed goatgrass to determine the...

A moral development theory : a synthesis from selected moral development theories, a spiral progression model of human development, and ego-state personality theory

Creator:: Armstrong, Carolyn S.
Abstract:: Controversy regarding moral development research has given rise to a proliferation of theories competing for acceptance. For all these researchers, the work of Lawrence Kohlberg is the pivot point for comparisons, contrasts, and discussions. Still, no theories to date adequately describe and document a theoretically complete conception of moral judgment...
