Petrology and geochemistry of the Emigrant Pass volcanics, Nevada : implications for a magmatic-hydrothermal origin of the Carlin gold deposits

Creator:: Johnson, Curtis L.
Abstract:: The Emigrant Pass volcanics (EPV) are a 38.3 to 36.4 Ma calc-alkaline volcanic center that erupted andesite and dacite, and a late series of felsic dikes along the south flank of the Carlin gold district in north-central Nevada. The EPV includes dacite and rhyolite porphyry dikes indistinguishable from porphyry dikes...

Deposition and characterization of transition metal oxides from aqueous solution

Creator:: Betterton, Sharon A.
Abstract:: The aqueous chemistries of two transition metal cations, Zr⁴⁺ and Nb⁵⁺, are examined and then used to develop inorganic precursor solutions. The oxides of these cations (ZrO₂ and Nb₂O₅) are deposited and characterized, and their morphological and optical properties discussed. Due to the obstacles created by niobium's aqueous chemistry, an...

Risk Assessment of Salmonella in Raw Hazelnuts and use of Propylene Oxide as a Potential Mitigation Strategy

Creator:: Wright, Daniel G.
Abstract:: Multiple outbreaks of foodborne illness (Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7) have been associated with tree nuts and tree nut products since the early 2000s. In response to these outbreaks and many others in fresh produce and peanut butter, Congress created and passed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to require...

Evaluation of the Performance of Lateral Spread Displacement Empirical Models for Subduction Zone Earthquake Case Histories

Creator:: Bunn, Michael
Abstract:: Lateral spread is a pervasive type of liquefaction-induced ground failure that occurs on gentle slopes or near free-faces, such as river channels. Resulting horizontal displacements can reach up to several meters, and can be considerably damaging to foundations, bridges, roadways, pipelines, etc. In the 1990s, Bartlett and Youd (1992a, 1995)...

Making the Unconscious Unconscious : Reclaiming Microinteractions for People with Motor Disabilities

Creator:: Lazewatsky, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Numerous diseases and injuries can limit a person's ability to perform everyday tasks -- things like getting dressed, bathing, and eating. Anything that requires physical activity can be affected; even simple things like turning on the lights can become difficult or impossible. Until recently, the only way for a person...

Tactics for enhancing conservation biological control of twospotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch, in Pacific Northwest hop yards

Creator:: Woods, Joanna L.
Abstract:: The twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is a worldwide pest of numerous agronomic and horticultural plants. Conservation biological control of this pest can be unreliable due to asynchrony of natural enemies and certain horticultural practices that have a direct or indirect affect on natural enemies and the...

Impact of malolactic fermentation on red wine color and color stability

Creator:: Burns, Tresider R.
Abstract:: Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an important step in the production of wines and is commonly performed in red or cool climate wines to reduce acidity. In this study the impact of MLF on red wine color and the ability of Oenococcus oeni to degrade compounds important to the development of...

Functional transition metal oxides : structure-property relationships

Creator:: Smith, Andrew E.
Abstract:: Transition metal oxides are an important class of materials for the wide variety optical, electrical, dielectric, magnetic, and thermal properties observed. Their unique structure-property relationships allow for property tuning and often provide insight into the fundamentals of chemistry. The work in this thesis was focused on the design, synthesis and...

Synthesis and investigation of layered oxides with honeycomb ordering

Creator:: Schmidt, Whitney L.
Abstract:: Synthesis and discovery lies at the core of every field in chemistry. The investigation of the structure-property relationships in compounds known or new is the fundamental purpose of solid state chemistry. Mixing related solid state compounds to form solid solutions can lead to exciting new and/or unexpected properties. Layered compounds...

Advocacy Coalitions, Shifting Priorities and Disability Services: An Integrative and Iterative Approach to Explaining Policy Change

Creator:: Giordono, Leanne S.
Abstract:: Under the label “Supported Employment,” services that promote competitive, integrated employment (CIE) for working-age adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities have been federally funded since the 1980s, alongside other more traditional day habilitation and segregated or sub-minimum wage employment services. However, since the early 2000s, over 30 states have adopted...

Development and Application of Tools for Genetic Analysis of Clonal Populations

Creator:: Kamvar, Zhian N.
Abstract:: Research on the population genetics of microbial organisms requires the use of specialized analyses designed for clonal organisms to avoid violating the assumptions of traditional population genetic models. The tools necessary for performing these analyses existed as a set of unrelated software with non-overlapping capabilities and did not cover all...

Shear reinforcement effects of discrete columns in liquefiable soils

Creator:: Rayamajhi, Deepak
Abstract:: Discrete columns, such as stone and soil-cement columns, are often used to improve the liquefaction resistance of loose sandy ground. In particular, stone columns are considered to increase resistance potential by densification, drainage, and reinforcement mechanisms. For silty soil, the shear stress reduction resulting from the reinforcing effect of stiffer...

Examination of airborne discrete-return lidar in prediction and identification of unique forest attributes

Creator:: Wing, Brian M.
Abstract:: Airborne discrete-return lidar is an active remote sensing technology capable of obtaining accurate, fine-resolution three-dimensional measurements over large areas. Discrete-return lidar data produce three-dimensional object characterizations in the form of point clouds defined by precise x, y and z coordinates. The data also provide intensity values for each point that...

Structure-property relationships in oxides containing tellurium

Creator:: Siritanon, Theeranun
Abstract:: Oxides of post-transition metals often show unique structures and properties due to the presence of lone pair electrons and the diffused s orbitals. The present work focuses on synthesis and characterizations of oxides containing Te, a heavy post transition metal. New series of pyrochlore oxides of the formula Cs(M,Te)₂O₆ (M...
