Evaluating the Dietary Toxicity of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Development of a High Throughput Non-Invasive Zebrafish Cortisol Assay

Creator:: Leong, Connor A.
Abstract:: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are contaminants of concern because they do not readily degrade in the environment. Some in vivo studies report that PFAS alter neurological development and are carcinogenic. Perfluorohexanesulfonamide (FHxSA) and 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate (6:2 FTS) are two PFASs, which are often detected in drinking water sources....

An inherently parallel Monte Carlo linear systems solver applied to neutron diffusion equations

Creator:: Eccleston, Bradley R.
Abstract:: Linear solvers are often used to solve neutron diffusion problems. These tools have two significant shortcomings. First, parallel implementations provide only a modest speedup. The operations cannot be divided cleanly between processors. Second, for large matrices they can be very slow. Our primary goal is to find a new method...

Exploring Vulnerability and Scarcity of Groundwater Resources in Quintana Roo, Mexico

Creator:: Iglesias Thome, Maria Jose
Abstract:: This study examined water scarcity and vulnerability in Quintana Roo, along the northern Caribbean coast of Mexico where rapid growth of tourism in the past 40 years has limited the ability of rural and urban communities to obtain safe, reliable, and equitable access to water services and critical water infrastructure...

Enhancing Detection of Marine Debris with Polarimetric Imagery

Creator:: Herrera, Frederick Kyle
Abstract:: Marine debris is a chronic and increasingly pervasive problem for coastal regions around the world. Debris poses environmental risks, threats to wildlife, and degradation of the natural environment. Recent research has shown the advantages of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) for detection and recognition of marine debris, including the ability to...

A marine resource management internship report

Creator:: Brunson, Ed
Abstract:: At the May 19, 1982 meeting of the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Program, Kenya President Daniel Arap Moi summarized a growing international feeling that there is a need for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to get more involved in international conservation efforts with the following statement: "The issue before...

Literacy politics and literacy education : thematic perspectives in contemporary Chicana/o narrative

Creator:: Bowman, Christine D.
Abstract:: Literacy is often considered to be a basic set of skills to be mastered by the student; the conventional wisdom maintains that the individual who has mastered these skills is then literate. Scholars in the field of literacy studies, however, argue that such assumptions about literacy fail to take into...

Decaying in Storage: The Closures of Three Nuclear Reactors in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Oney, Celia E.
Abstract:: People involved in a nuclear activity, whether they are developing it, benefiting from it, or opposing it, see inherent connections between various aspects of nuclear science and technology. This thesis investigates three nuclear sites: a university research reactor, a dual-purpose reactor that produced plutonium for the U.S. military and electricity...

Fisheries Connectivity Networks to Measure the Adaptive Capacity of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico

Creator:: Nomura, Keiko
Abstract:: Small-scale fisheries around the world are increasingly facing pressures from a range of environmental, economic, and social sources. In order to sustain the societal benefits of small-scale fisheries, it is imperative to understand how fishing communities adapt to disturbances. Fishermen often catch multiple different species as an adaptation technique because...

An analysis of wave forces on prototype walls under tsunami loading

Creator:: Oshnack, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts based on a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a vertical wall subjected to tsunami loading. The first manuscript examined tsunami force and pressure distributions on a rigid wall that was fronted by a small seawall. Six different seawall heights...
