  • In silico screening of nanoporous materials for gas sensing and separation

    Creator:
    Gantzler, Nickolas
    Abstract:
    The utility of high-throughput, computational screening has become an invaluable asset to the field of materials science. In the hierarchy of computational methods, the most accurate methods are often the most computationally expensive. However, as both the efficiency and fidelity of numerical techniques advance, high-quality screening of large materials datasets...

  • Novel Approaches to Porous Material Discovery

    Creator:
    Sturluson, Arni
    Abstract:
    Uses for materials with a large surface area and high porosity have grown sig-nificantly in recent years. Porous materials have found usage in applications such as separation, gas storage, sensing, purification and more, prompting researchers to find and discover numerous new porous materials to suit a specific purpose. Hundreds of...

  • Characterization of acid sensing ion channel (ASIC) in mouse olfactory bulb

    Creator:
    Kratzer, Eric Martin
    Abstract:
    This study examined the role of acid- sensing ion channels (ASICs) in interneuron synaptic modulation. ASICS are ultra fine discriminators of acidic conditions in the neuronal microenvironment. Each ASIC subunit isoform has innate, subtly different electrophysiological properties and tissue distributions. Structurally, ASICs may form homo- or heteromeric channels, yielding combinatorial...

  • Marine Low Clouds : Radiation, Turbulence, and Forecasting

    Creator:
    Verlinden, Kathryn L.
    Abstract:
    High-resolution ship-based observations of a nearly uniform stratocumulus deck in the southeast Pacific during 17 days of the 2008 VOCALS regional experiment elucidate radiation and turbulence in the marine boundary layer (MBL). A new method for prescribing observations-based cloud properties to the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model is presented and applied...

  • Evaporation processes in marine boundary layer downdrafts inferred from stable water vapor isotopes

    Creator:
    Quiñones Meléndez, Estefanía
    Abstract:
    The RV Ronald H. Brown traveled a section of tropical Atlantic waters northeast of Barbados during January-February 2020 in an international collaboration effort known as Elucidating the Role of Clouds Circulation Coupling in Climate Campaign (EUREC4A). ATOMIC (Atlantic Trade-wind Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign) was the US contribution to EUREC4A focused...

  • Exploring physical activity behaviors in adults with spina bifida : a mixed methods approach

    Creator:
    Vanderbom, Kerri Ayame
    Abstract:
    Background: Spina bifida (SB) is the most common birth defect, affecting approximately 1 to 2 in 10,000 live births. SB is a complex disability with many associated, secondary, and chronic conditions that require lifelong medical care. Individuals with spina bifida (SB) are living longer with advances in medical care, and...

  • Recombinant vaccines against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus : bacterial systems for vaccine production and delivery

    Creator:
    Simon, Benjamin E.
    Abstract:
    Several systems were examined for the production and delivery of recombinant vaccines for fish. C. crescentus was employed to produce a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein. When administered by injection to 0.5 gram rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), one of the fusion proteins (184 amino acids of the IHNV glycoprotein fused...

  • Coupling of Boundary Layer Dynamics, Turbulence, and Moisture Transport to Cloud Characteristics and Aerosol Concentrations

    Creator:
    Henze, Dean C.
    Abstract:
    Uncertainties in general circulation model (GCM) representations of marine boundary layer (MBL) shallow cloud cover contribute substantially to the spread in model predictions of future climate. Further uncertainties in GCM output arise from an incomplete understanding of cloud-aerosol interactions. For example, the Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on...

  • Vertical Structure of the Lower Troposphere in a Changing Arctic

    Creator:
    Watkins, Daniel M.
    Abstract:
    The Arctic climate system is changing dramatically as a response to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Key indicators of Arctic change include thinning and retreating of Arctic pack ice, thawing permafrost, greening tundra, and rising surface temperatures. The structure of the atmospheric boundary layer influences and is influenced by processes...

  • Influence of vegetation on streambank hydraulics

    Creator:
    Czarnomski, Nicole M.
    Abstract:
    Proper use of vegetation in streambank bioengineering practices requires a comprehensive understanding of the influence of vegetation density on streambank hydraulics. A series of studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between independent variables vegetation density, bank angle, and discharge and dependent variables channel velocity, resistance, turbulence, and shear stress....
