Estimates for wet and dry removals' contribution to the residence time for atmospheric pollutants in the eastern United States

Creator:: Vickers, Dean
Abstract:: The length of time that atmospheric pollutants released from low-level sources in the midwestern United States can expect to remain in the atmosphere is discussed. The pollution is assumed to be removed from the atmosphere by dry deposition and precipitation scavenging. Layer-average trajectories originating from Kansas City, Missouri are used...

Weevils That Live Under Trees Thrown Out of the Sea: Phylogeny and Microbial Diversity of Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845 and Related Weevils (Curculionidae: Molytinae)

Creator:: Young, Natasha
Abstract:: Here the diversity and phylogeny of the genus, Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845, and its nearest associates in the large subfamily Molytinae are explored through molecular and morphological characters. Sanger sequencing of five genes determined that Sthereus is not monophyletic. Instead, the one species in the genus Gastrotaphrus Buchanan 1936, G. barberi...

Improving part load efficiency of screw air compressors

Creator:: Maxwell, Jonathan B.
Abstract:: Air compressor systems are inefficient energy transfer devices even under the best of conditions, at full load. When only part load is required, efficiency drops further. This thesis attempts to improve part load efficiency of twin rotor screw air compressors in three ways. First, a guidebook was written to help...

Determining the Influence of Nutrition and Temperature on the Growth and Development of Camassia spp.

Creator:: Davis, Matthew C.
Abstract:: As a key historic component of prairies in the Pacific Northwest, Camassia spp. should play a role in the restoration of these ecosystems. To do so effectively, further study of Camassia spp. propagation is warranted. Thus, the growth, N uptake and allocation, and seasonal thermoperiodicity of Camassia spp. was examined....
