The Distribution and Abundance of a Non-native Eelgrass, Zostera japonica, in Oregon Estuaries

Creator:: Dudoit, Chana Makale’a
Abstract:: Biological introductions may considerably alter the composition and community dynamics of invaded areas thereby changing many ecosystem processes including productivity, decomposition, nutrient cycling and hydrology. The effects on native species may be obscured by a lack of information on distribution and abundance patterns. The Japanese eelgrass, Zostera japonica, was introduced...

How the Sun Drives Us: Photovoltaics in the US and Germany

Creator:: Hyde, Alison
Abstract:: With the realization that traditional means of providing useful energy have formidable environmental and economical repercussions, many counties have begun to explore more benign and sustainable energy sources—renewables. Photovoltaics (PV), a sub-group of renewable energy technologies, convert incident solar radiation into electrical power. Germany, the US and Japan are racing...

DNA UV damage-related control of ribonucleotide reductase : possible relationship to mutagenesis and the incidence of and attitudes toward skin cancer in several western nations

Creator:: Stenberg, John C.
Abstract:: Two strains of Escherichia coli were studied to determine the effect of constitutive expression of the SOS DNA damage repair response on the activity of ribonucleotide reductase. Activity of the reductase and cellular deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools were both determined before and after exposure of the cells to ultraviolet radiation....

Feasibility study for the use of a fuel cell to process landfill gas at Coffin Butte Landfill : hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection and removal

Creator:: Tuinstra, Hannah May
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative (PNGC) operates the Landfill Gas to Energy Facility at Coffin Butte Landfill in Corvallis, OR. At this facility, three internal combustion engines use the landfill gas (predominantly methane and carbon dioxide) as fuel to turn generators that produce enough electricity to power 1,800 average sized homes....

Ultra sonic SCUBA diver tracking device hardware

Creator:: Lindsley, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Currently, there is no accurate, low-cost method to track divers. Watching bubbles can give you an approximate xy-location, and expensive underwater radios utilizing ultrasonic waves can work if the diver knows where they are. Traditional radio waves do not work well in water due to the conductive nature of water....
