  • Hydrogen Interaction with Platinum and Palladium Surfaces

    Creator:
    Boechler, Amanda N.
    Abstract:
    Platinum and palladium surfaces are utilized as catalytic surfaces in the chemical industry. Understanding how hydrogen atoms interact with the metal surfaces will allow for further advancement in this area. Specifically, the interaction of hydrogen on the surface and subsurface of these metals was investigated using density functional theory calculations...

  • Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Chemical Modulation of MOF-74(Ni)

    Creator:
    Aldossary, Abdulrahman N.
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous material distinguished for high free empty volume and pore tunability. MOF-74(Ni) was previously shown to be effective in adsorbing carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen. Microwave-assisted synthesis of MOF-74(Ni) was shown to lower reaction time from days to hours. In this thesis, experimental conditions of...

  • Genotyping and Admixture Mapping of North American Fragaria chiloensis Populations

    Creator:
    Devin, Jennifer N.
    Abstract:
    Assembly and genotyping of polyploid genomes poses many problems due to the complex nature of polyploid data, including the inability to determine allelic dosage and mixed inheritance patterns. This study was the first application of POLiMAPS genotyping on whole genome sequences without using cross information. In this study, whole genome...

  • Lanthanide Based Metal Organic Framework for the Conversion of CO₂ and Propylene Oxide to Propylene Carbonate

    Creator:
    Le, David H.
    Abstract:
    Lanthanide (Ln) based molecular complexes have shown great potential as Lewis acid catalysts for the activation of small molecules. Despite the wealth of structural versatility and high catalytic activity of these complexes, they often lack selectivity and recyclability. This hinders their potential for use in large-scale industrial applications where waste...

  • Effectiveness of Safety Culture Survey in Evaluating the Overall Safety Performance of an Organization : A Case Study

    Creator:
    Miller, Natalie H.
    Abstract:
    Safety culture is a vital part of any organization. It describes how employees, on all levels, perceive safety at the particular organization. Measuring safety culture is fundamental to determining the environment of the organization. Using different measurement methods, including surveys, changes can be made to increase safety and improve safety...

  • Optimizing Methods to Assess Nanoparticle Biodistribution in Embryonic Zebrafish

    Creator:
    Pfarr, Shaylin H.
    Abstract:
    As nanoparticle (NP) research and development expands, the significance of NP biodistribution effects on toxicity increases. A reliable method for measuring NP biodistribution is critical. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is capable of accurately quantitating NP biodistribution within embryonic zebrafish with incredibly high precision. Before HSI processing, the embryo must be sectioned...

  • I-V Characteristics of Al/HfO2/TaN RRAM Devices

    Creator:
    Valdivia, Arturo H.
    Abstract:
    The memristor is a resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) with a basic metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure. These nano devices are nonvolatile, have a conceptually simple crossbar device structure, are power efficient and have the capability of switching between high and low resistance states in nanoseconds making them promising to replace...

  • Restoring and Updating the Micralyne μTK

    Creator:
    Wong, Derek H.
    Abstract:
    The Micralyne microfluidic toolkit (μTK) was an instrument built by Micralyne in the early 2000’s. It was built for electrophoresis and has a sensitive laser-induced fluorescence detection system. The updates to the system were upgrading the control GUI from running in LabVIEW 5 (Windows XP, 2000) to LabVIEW 2012 (Windows...

  • A Model of Mesodinium Rubrum Blooms in the Columbia River Estuary

    Creator:
    Sherry, Elisabeth J.
    Abstract:
    Every year in the late summer, patches of the Columbia River estuary begin to turn red. These patches are blooms of mixotrophic ciliates (Myrionecta rubra or Mesodinium rubrum/major) (MR) that ingest the chloroplast of their prey, the cryptophytes (CR) Teleaulax amphioxeia (Peterson et al., 2013), and use the acquired organs...
