  • Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

    Creator:
    Jost, William C.
    Abstract:
    A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...

  • Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

    Creator:
    Johnson, Kristin Renee
    Abstract:
    Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

  • Organic soil amendements (sic) : impacts on snap bean common root rot and soil quality

    Creator:
    Cespedes Leon, Maria Cecilia
    Abstract:
    Common root rot is a major disease of commercially grown snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) on the irrigated sandy soils of central Wisconsin. The objective of this study was to determine the relationships between soil properties and suppressiveness to common root rot of snap bean (causal agent Aphanomyces euteiches) in...

    Creator:
    Meisel, Jennifer K.
    Abstract:
    Pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in Oregon and Washington are a sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp.) obligate species of concern because of declining populations and extirpation from much of their range. Efforts are underway to establish a captive bred population of the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit in Washington state for reintroduction into...

  • Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Duncan, Corinne M.
    Abstract:
    Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...
