  • New bioactive natural products from marine algae and cyanobacteria

    Creator:
    Sabry, Omar Mohamed
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an account of investigation on the natural products deriving from various marine algae and has resulted in the discovery of eleven novel bioactive metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these new molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by analyses of different spectroscopic data, respectively. Using...

  • Point-of-care and wearable sensors for non-invasive stress hormone detection with molecularly imprinted techniques

    Creator:
    Yeasmin, Sanjida
    Abstract:
    Rapid and sensitive detection of stress hormones, such as cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), can benefit the diagnosis of diseases related to adrenal gland disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, and more. Stress hormones fluctuate in a circadian rhythm, the highest in the early morning and the lowest at night;...

  • The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

    Creator:
    Poole, Angela Z.
    Abstract:
    Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

  • Impact of Dairy Manure Digestate on Microbial Activities in Soil

    Creator:
    Waggoner, Ashley L
    Abstract:
    Amendments and fertilizers applied to optimize crop production and improve soil health also supply inputs of soil organic matter (SOM) and nutrients that affect soil microorganisms. In the dairy-intensive Pacific Northwest, dairy manure is stored as slurry mixtures until conditions are appropriate for soil application. During storage, the manure begins...

  • New chemistry for electrochemical energy storage applications

    Creator:
    Wang, Xingfeng
    Abstract:
    Electrochemical capacitors and batteries are two major electrochemical energy storage technologies, which have been investigated extensively to meet the rapidly-growing demand for higher energy, higher power, lower cost and enhanced safety in the past few decades. With the charge storage mechanism of electrostatic charge adsorption desorption via electrical double layers,...

  • Design techniques for low-voltage and low-power analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Ahn, Gil Cho
    Abstract:
    With the ever-increasing demand for portable devices used in applications such as wireless communication, mobile computing, consumer electronics, etc., the scaling of the CMOS process to deep submicron dimensions becomes more important to achieve low-cost, low-power and high-performance digital systems. However, this downscaling also requires similar shrinking of the supply...

  • Wave runup : Physics, variability, and societal impacts

    Creator:
    García Medina, Gabriel
    Abstract:
    The U.S. Pacific Northwest is home to one of the most extreme wave climates in the world with waves of 10 m in height arriving to the coast approximately each year. With an average water temperature of 12℃, the beaches in the region are too cold to go on a...

  • Deletions and Insertions of the Symbol 0 and Asymmetric/Unidirectional Error Control Codes for the L₁ Metric

    Creator:
    Alqwaifly, Nawaf
    Abstract:
    This work gives some theory and efficient design of binary block codes capable of controlling the deletions of the symbol “0” (referred to as 0-deletions) and/or the insertions of the symbol “0” (referred to as 0-insertions). This problem of controlling 0-deletions and/or 0-insertions (referred to as symmetric 0-errors) is shown...

  • Free Monoterpene Isomer Profiles in White Wine : Effect of Grape Variety, Region and Style and Impact on Odor Perception

    Creator:
    Song, Mei
    Abstract:
    Monoterpenes are important volatile compounds to the aroma of many white wines. Many monoterpenes are chiral and found in wine as different isomers. These isomers (also known as enantiomers) are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, maintain the same molecular structure and in many instances possess different sensory characteristics. Much...

  • Developing Design Model for Cellulose Nanocomposites

    Creator:
    Shir Mohammadi, Meisam
    Abstract:
    Today nano scale materials are being used for wide range of applications. One promising topic in nano scale materials is using them for reinforcement of different polymeric materials to reach desirable stiffness properties. The stiffness of these materials is mostly found experimentally because the nanocomposite community lacks a decent analytical...
