Reconstructing the paleobiology of the dinosaurs

Creator:: Geist, Nicholas R.
Abstract:: Dinosaurs represent one of the most successful evolutionary radiations of terrestrial vertebrates, with a myriad of forms that dominated the terrestrial environment for over 180 million years. Despite the fact that dinosaurs are the focus of extensive popular and scholarly investigation, relatively little is actually known of their biology. The...

Direction, method, and model for implementing design for construction worker safety in the US

Creator:: Tymvios, Nicholas
Abstract:: The construction industry employs about 7% of the total US workforce, and yet it accounts for 15.7% of all occupational fatalities. Specifically in 2011, there were 721 deaths in construction, second only to transportation with 733. The cause of a large number of these construction deaths can be attributed to...

Effects of density stress and soil productivity on size, mortality and nitrogen fixation in artificial populations of seedling red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.)

Creator:: Smith, Nicholas J.
Abstract:: Red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) seedlings were grown at three initial spacings (8 x 8 cm, 4 x 4 cm, and 2 x 2 cm) and on two soil types (forest soil and river loam) under greenhouse and lath house conditions for 525 growing days. There were seven harvest dates,...

An Investigation into the Production of Longer Hydrocarbons, Synthesis Gas, and Ammonia via a Nonthermal Plasma Microreactor

Creator:: Reddick, Ian T.
Abstract:: Nonthermal electrical plasmas can allow energy intensive reactions to occur without the use of high operating temperatures or pressures. This is because the collisions of electrons accelerated through an electric field with molecules is the cause of reactions as opposed to thermal collisions between molecules. In this study, the production...

Production of C4-C10 Hydrocarbons from CO₂, H₂O, CO, H₂ and CH₄ Utilizing DC Glow Discharges, Catalytic Rapid Temperature Pulsing in Micro-Scale Reactors.

Creator:: Mohamed, Omar M.
Abstract:: This thesis experimentally determines the feasibility to creating C4 to C10 hydrocarbons from CO2, CO, H2, H2O and CH4. This is done in two steps, the initial step is the formation of ethylene through DC electrical glow discharge at ambient pressure while the second step is through temperature pulse controlled...

How Behavior, Physiology, and Ontogeny of Klamath Redband Trout Shape the Functionality of Habitats in a Landscape of Temperature Extremes

Creator:: Hahlbeck, Nicholas J.
Abstract:: Climate change is a global phenomenon, but natural selection occurs within landscapes. A central tenet of landscape ecology is that mobile species depend on complementary habitats, which are insufficient in isolation, but combine to support animals through the full annual cycle. For coldwater fishes, it is widely assumed that maximum...

The Effect of Isothermal Aging on the Development of Long-Range Order in Ni-based Alloys

Creator:: Aerne, Nicholas S. J.
Abstract:: Nickel (Ni)-based alloys with a high chromium (Cr) content are frequently employed in applications where elevated temperatures and/or corrosive environments are present due to their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, a gap exists around the formation, and kinetics of long-range order (LRO) Ni2Cr phase in both model binary...

Ascorbylation- the biological relevance of covalently bound ascorbic acid

Creator:: Kesinger, Nicholas G.
Abstract:: Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is well known as a co-factor for proline-hydroxylase and as an anti-oxidant. However, it is also capable of forming covalent bonds, particularly in the role of a nucleophile, henceforth termed 'ascorbylation'. The ascorbylation of electrophiles can occur under physiological conditions. Furthermore, there are a number...

Second nature : domestication as experiment and metaphor in 20th century American psychobiology

Creator:: Blanchard, Nicholas
Abstract:: By 1900 domestication was a promising, if somewhat vexed, subject in biology. Volumes had been written about domestication, but little serious scientific inquiry was directed toward the phenomenon. Expertise lay with practical men, primarily breeders and fanciers. The bulk of scientific commentary on domestication came from anthropologists who derived theories...
