Radically reframing environmental problems : The Salmon 2100 case study

Creator:: Lane, David Earl
Abstract:: There are typically two responses to the complex environmental problems of our time: 1) doom and gloom and 2) optimism. There is a lot of doom and gloom in the environmental literature. This literature warns that the future portends danger for humans and their life support systems. But when one...

Bioenergetics individual based model explorations of juvenile coho salmon growth during their first summer on the Oregon shelf

Creator:: Reser, Brendan Alexander
Abstract:: Salmon survival and eventual recruitment success have long been thought to be determined within the first summer following ocean migration. Juvenile growth during this period is largely influenced by ocean conditions such as temperature, prey availability, abundance, and quality. Shifts in these conditions due to climatic perturbations are particularly prevalent...

Investigating the effects of temperature on secondary metabolism in Vitis vinifera L. cv. merlot berries

Creator:: Cohen, Seth D.
Abstract:: Grapes (e.g. Vitis vinifera L.) are one of the more important fruit crops from an economic standpoint with world market values over 550 million US dollars in 2007 and 2008, second to apples (United States Department of Agriculture). While a satisfactory level of ripeness is of primary concern, the quality...

Solar Photovoltaics: Comparisons of Different Approaches and Technologies

Creator:: Louie, Michael Y. K.
Abstract:: Solar photovoltaic is considered one among many new alternatives to satisfy our demand for energy. Solar Cells have undergone changes in the last 50 years or so since its invention in 1954. Solar power is beginning to challenge conventional energy sources in terms of mainstream acceptance. Solar power along with...

Environmental variability and system heterogeneity in terrestrial biogeochemical models

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Ecosystems are highly heterogeneous systems subjected to important levels of environmental variability; however, it is common in terrestrial biogeochemical models to assume homogeneous properties of the elements of the system or constant environmental conditions. For some processes, heterogeneity in these models is treated very simplistically, but there is not much...

Mass spectrometry-based identification and characterization of protein and peptide adducts of lipoxidation-derived aldehydes

Creator:: Chavez, Juan D.
Abstract:: Oxidative stress is recognized as an important underlying factor in the pathogenesis of many degenerative diseases as well as normal senescence. The free radicals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and electrophiles produced during oxidative stress are capable of modifying nucleic acids, lipids and proteins. There are a variety of oxidative modifications...

The effect of coagulation conditions on floc size distribution and morphology : implications for downstream treatment processes

Creator:: Maguire, Ian R.
Abstract:: Coagulation and flocculation are commonly used in drinking water treatment as a means of destabilizing and aggregating particles and promoting adsorption of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). In practice, jar tests are used to determine optimal conditions for the removal of turbidity and DOC. However, beyond the inferences that can be...

A novel method for zinc oxide nanowire sensor fabrication

Creator:: Pelatt, Brian D.
Abstract:: Interest in nanomaterials is motivated partly by their potential for sensor arrays to detect different gases. Nanowires in particular are of interest because their high surface-to-volume ratio promises the possibility of high sensitivity. However, because of their discrete quasi-one-dimensional geometry, electrical integration of nanowires into photolithographically defined devices and circuits...

Mass transfer of urea, creatinine and vitamin B-12 in a microchannel based membrane separation unit

Creator:: Warner-Tuhy, Alana
Abstract:: Micro energy and chemical systems (MECS) are microfluidic systems where energy and chemical processes can be intensified by decreasing the characteristic length. This project focused on bulk fluid processing using MECS technology to intensify the mass transport of a dialyzer. The objective of this project was to design a model...

Integrating restoration and ecologically based weed management practices for invasive knotweed control

Creator:: Rudenko, Melody
Abstract:: Japanese knotweed is an invasive perennial shrub that dominates riparian ecosystems. Effective management techniques are currently limited to repeated annual herbicide applications and there is little science-based information about which control tactics result in the greatest management success. Restoration of invaded sites to a functioning riparian plant community is needed...
