Protecting the forests and the people : exploring alternative conservation models that include the needs of communities : an Ecuadorian case study

Creator:: Gittelman, Melissa Laurel
Abstract:: This research explores differences in environmental worldviews and connections to the land globally and more specifically in a case study of NGOs working in the Ecuadorian Cloud Forest. The aims of this project are to investigate different environmental worldviews expressed between western NGOs and non western local NGOs and to...

Assessment of Feedstock Materials for Producing a Suitable and Cost-Effective Biochar to Use as a Soil Amendment for Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Creator:: Kumari, Pooja
Abstract:: Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...

Maximization of energy capture of passive, variable-speed wind-turbine

Creator:: Kinjo, Fuminao
Abstract:: This thesis presents and examines the concept that the output of a wound-rotor induction generator (WRIG) can be limited by means of linking to external impedances for wind-turbine generating system application. An 80kW-WRIG is simulated as a model to examine the control of the output power vs. speed characteristic. Model...

Assessing the impact of temperature on grape phenolic metabolism

Creator:: Cohen, Seth D.
Abstract:: Many climatic factors influence grape berry composition including nutrient status, water availability, biotic stress, sun exposure and temperature. Previous research examined the effects of many factors listed above and much progress has been made. It is often difficult, however, to separate effects that typically confound each other, such as sun...

Large volume (1,800 µL) injection HPLC/MS/MS for the quantitative determination of illicit drugs and human urinary biomarkers in municipal wastewater

Creator:: Chiaia Hernandez, Aurea C.
Abstract:: A sensitive, selective, rapid analytical method based on large-volume injection (LVI) liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry was developed using commercially-available hardware that eliminates the need for either off-line or on-line solid phase extraction. Centrifugation followed by the direct injection of 1,800 µL was used for the quantification of illicit drugs,...

Evaluating microbial indicators of environmental condition in Oregon rivers

Creator:: Pennington, Alan Travis
Abstract:: Traditional public health bacterial indicators of water quality and the Biolog® system were evaluated to compare their response to other indicators of stream condition with the state of Oregon and between ecoregions (Coast Range, Willamette Valley, Cascades, and Eastern Oregon). Forty-three randomly selected Oregon rivers were sampled during the summer...

Characterization of substrate-velocity relationships for the cellulase enzyme complex from Trichoderma viride

Creator:: Liaw, Ean-Tun
Abstract:: The influence of substrate and enzyme concentration on the rate of saccharification of two defined, insoluble, cellulose substrates, Avicel and Solka-Floc, by the cellulase enzyme system of Trichoderma viride has been evaluated. Assays utilized enzyme concentrations ranging from 0.014 to 0.056 filter paper unit per mL and substrate concentrations up...

Aryl acetylene substituent effects : the synthesis and application of biaryls

Creator:: Naffziger, Michael R.
Abstract:: The work described herein details the synthesis and application of biphenyls that probe the effects of hydrogen, Cl / Br, and methyl substituents on the aryl ring of the terminal acetylenic carbon. From this work, we successfully developed the rapid synthesis of phenyl acetylenes in 3-4 steps from inexpensive commercially...
