Modeling transient thermalhydraulic behavior of a thermionic fuel element for nuclear space reactors

Creator:: Al-Kheliewi, Abdullah S.
Abstract:: A transient code (TFETC) for calculating the temperature distribution throughout the radial and axial positions of a thermionic fuel element (TFE) has been successfully developed. It accommodates the variations of temperatures, thermal power, electrical power, voltage, and current density throughout the TFE as a function of time as well as...

The effects of multiple pathogens on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Romansic, John M.
Abstract:: The earth is undergoing a “biodiversity crisis” characterized by loss of populations, species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem services. Part of this crisis consists of population declines, extinctions, and increased incidence of deformities in amphibians. It is unknown whether deformities contribute to these declines. Many cases of population declines in amphibians...

Structural Insights into Novel Sugar Phosphate Cyclases and Flavoenzymes

Creator:: Kean, Kelsey M.
Abstract:: The function of a protein is defined by its three-dimensional structure, and in understanding the three-dimensional structure of a protein, we gain an understanding of its function and mechanism. Protein structures, especially at high resolution, can provide detailed insights into many elements of enzyme function and catalysis – identifying residues...

Effects of pesticides on amphibians with special reference to the pyrethroidinsecticide, cypermethrin

Creator:: Biga, Lindsay M.
Abstract:: Pollution by pesticides is a ubiquitous concern for wildlife. The effects of pesticides are especially concerning in aquatic environments, which are particularly vulnerable as they have several exposure routes for the influx of chemicals. These effects are of particular concern as biodiversity loss reaches unprecedented rates. This includes recent declines...

Three essays on the economics of climate change, land use and carbon sequestration

Creator:: Haim, David
Abstract:: This dissertation's three essays explore the effects of climate change on land use changes in the U.S., how future land areas in all major land uses change by projecting land use at the regional scale under two IPCC climate change scenarios. Investigate how and what role should carbon sequestration plays...

Quaternary Landscape Evolution and the Surface Expression of Plume-Lithosphere Interactions in the Greater Yellowstone Area

Creator:: Guerrero, Eduardo Francisco
Abstract:: Numerous investigations demonstrate that mantle convective processes such as upwelling affect the surface topography of the overriding plate. The surface expression of mantle flow has been coined ‘transient topography’. Transient topography in the North American plate is thought to result from a mantle thermal anomaly beneath the Yellowstone volcanic center,...

Signatures in the Subsurface - Big & Small Data Approaches for the Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Geologic Properties & Uncertainty Reduction

Creator:: Rose, Kelly Kathleen
Abstract:: Despite more than two centuries of exploration, including more than six million deep wellbores with depths exceeding 40,000 feet in some parts of the world, our ability to constrain subsurface processes and properties remains limited. Characteristics of the subsurface vary and can be analyzed on a variety of spatial scales....

Parental attitudes, home environment, and the cognitive ability of Korean kindergarten children

Creator:: Cho, Bokhee
Abstract:: This study examined the relationships among authoritarian parental attitudes, home environments, parental attitudes toward the children's freedom, and the cognitive performances of kindergarten children. Socioeconomic status of the family and sex of child and parent differences were also examined. Subjects consisted of 73 pairs of Korean parents and their children....

Exposure of preschool children to companion animals : impact on role-taking skills

Creator:: Bailey, Cindee
Abstract:: The importance of role-taking skills in the social development of children has been well documented. Further, it has been shown that children's development of role-taking skills is dependent upon the quantity and quality of social interactions which require the consideration of alternative perspectives. Given recent evidence of the importance of...

Perspective-taking as a determinant of marital adjustment and propensity to divorce

Creator:: Long, Edgar Charles John
Abstract:: Perspective-taking has been defined as the tendency to take the point of view of another, to put oneself in the psychological shoes of another. This ability has been argued to be an important component of social interaction. This research examined three components of perspective-taking: a general measure of perspective taking...
