Photoluminescence Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoulene (TNT) Binding on Single Cell Diatom Biosilica

Creator:: Harms, Nathan D.
Abstract:: T. pseudonana biosilica and live cells was explored as a biosensor for detection of the explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in aqueous solution. The diatom frustule is an intricately nanostructured, highly porous biogenic silica material derived from the shells of microscopic algae called diatoms. This material emits strong visible blue photoluminescence...

Red Raspberry Production Cost Comparison in Oregon and Chile

Creator:: McGuire, Madilynne J.
Abstract:: Red raspberry markets in both Chile and Oregon are affected by factors in each other‟s production processes. As seen in the late 1990‟s changes in pricing and supply can hinder the competitive edge of markets, pushing producers into economic hardship. Thus, the need to know the competition‟s methods is presented....

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...

UV-assisted lipoic acid ligand exchange of copper indium disulfide-zinc sulfide core-shell quantum dots

Creator:: Porth, Lane D.
Abstract:: Water-soluble quantum dots obtained through ligand exchange are widely applicable for biological imaging and marking, LEDs, and photovoltaics. Lipoic acid (LA) was reduced to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) using 365-nm soft UV light in a process known as photoligation, and ligand exchange with dodecanethiol-capped CuInS₂-ZnS core-shell quantum dots occurred. The reaction...

Examining the Relationship Between Parent and Child Health in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Heinonen, Gregory A.
Abstract:: Childhood obesity is an extensively research topic as it effects a large number of individuals and has serious consequences on those effected. Current statistics estimate roughly 17% of the youth population is now obese. However, the spread of these cases is not equally distributed. Certain populations are at increased risk...

Evaluation of novel swim-up approaches on canine sperm progressive motility, concentration, morphology, and acrosome reaction

Creator:: Lengele, Amber
Abstract:: Introduction: Swim-up has been considered a preferred method for separating non-motile sperm in an ejaculate. However, the long incubation time and equipment necessary for swim-up make this process clinically impractical. It was hypothesized that these problems could be avoided for canine applications with a shorter incubation time at room temperature...

Freeze Stage Analysis of an Indirect Freeze Desalination System

Creator:: Whitaker, Trevor A.
Abstract:: Freeze desalination poses as a potential solution to many of the issues that accompany current desalination methods. The research detailed in this manuscript involves creating and analyzing a numerical model of the freezing operation of an indirect contact freeze-melting (FM) desalination system. In this initial analysis, pure water is frozen...

Kit Ligand Effect on Growth of Bovine Follicles in Culture and the Effect of Kit Ligand on the Function of Theca Cells

Creator:: Jachter, Shaina L.
Abstract:: Ovarian steroidogenesis is heavily controlled by the formation and function of the theca cells. A condition known as polycystic ovarian disease in humans and cystic ovarian disease in cattle is due to abnormal steroidogenesis. Knowing more about theca cell formation and function can aid in gaining further knowledge about polycystic...

Radial Velocity Profiles and Magnetic Field Probes for Hypervelocity Plasma Deflagration Jets

Creator:: Rodriguez, Jesse A.
Abstract:: The fundamental physics of turbulence in plasma is not well understood. Recent studies of the plasma deflagration accelerator in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Lab at Stanford University have demonstrated the presence of small scale instabilities that limit the lifetime of the jet/Z pinch and are not reproduced by coaxial plasma...

Quantifying the synchrony of leaf litter decomposition in a forested landscape

Creator:: Stringer, Allison L.
Abstract:: Plant litter decomposition plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, and contributes large amounts of carbon to soils, which store more carbon than any other terrestrial pool of organic matter. Decomposition plays a fundamental role in nutrient cycling and alters soil properties that shape plant community composition and...
