Experimental electron energy distributions for Townsend discharges in argon gas

Creator:: Losee, Jon Robert
Abstract:: In this work the electron energy distribution functions and the anisotropic drift term of the velocity distribution functions in non-self-sustaining (Townsend) discharges in argon were determined by direct measurement for a range of E/N (electric field strength by gas atom concentration) from 70 to 407 Townsends (Td). (One Td equals...

Time and statistical information utilization in high efficiency sub-micron CMOS successive approximation analog to digital converters

Creator:: Guerber, Jon
Abstract:: In an industrial and consumer electronic marketplace that is increasingly demanding greater real-world interactivity in portable and distributed devices, analog to digital converter efficiency and performance is being carefully examined. The successive approximation (SAR) analog to digital converter (ADC) architecture has become popular for its high efficiency at mid-speed and...

Unraveling the Diagenetic Cycling and Sequestration of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in Marine Sediments to Understand REE Accumulation in Ancient Shales

Creator:: Yang, Jon
Abstract:: The rare earth elements (REEs) have been established as powerful tracers for a range of physiochemical processes occurring in the natural environment. They also hold significant economic importance as many technological advancements are reliant upon the REEs for their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical characteristics. In sedimentary settings, understanding the...

The ecology and production dynamics of four black fly species (Diptera:simuliidae) in western Oregon streams

Creator:: Speir, Jon A.
Abstract:: Ecological and production studies of Prosimulium caudatum Shewell, P. dicum Dyar and Shannon, Simulium arcticum Malloch and S. canadense Hearle (Diptera: Simuliidae) were made in 1971 and 1972 in three streams near Corvallis, Oregon. The purpose of the study was to characterize the biology and population dynamics of larvae, and...

The visualization of perspective systems and iconology in Dürer’s cartographic works : an in-depth analysis using multiple methodological approaches

Creator:: Wörz, Adèle Lorraine
Abstract:: This dissertation uses a new methodological approach for an in-depth analysis of three cartographic works. Studies within the discipline of the history of cartography have followed various methodologies throughout the past century. This dissertation argues that in order to come to a more complete understanding of how maps were produced...

Factors controlling halogenated and nonhalogenated alkene growth substrate range of vinyl chloride-utilizing bacteria

Creator:: Taylor, Anne Elizabeth
Abstract:: This thesis explores the factors limiting the alkene substrate range of the vinyl chloride (VC)-utilizing bacteria, and describes a method for measuring VC transformation in situ. Vinyl fluoride (VF) was evaluated as a surrogate for monitoring aerobic VC-transformation utilizing three isolates, Mycobacterium EE13a, Mycobacterium JS60 and Nocardioides JS614. JS614 grew...
