  • Dielectric Properties of Perovskite Ceramics Based on BaTiO3 and Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3

    Creator:
    Sundahl, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    The properties of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (BT-BMT) ceramics were fabricated from reagent-grade ceramic powders by solid-state methods and investigated for solubility, relative permittivity, dielectric loss, polarization, and electromechanical strain. The solubility limit was found to be between x = 0.3 and 0.4. Ba-deficient samples were fabricated, corresponding to stable single-phase compositions; these...

  • Adherence as an in vitro assessment of neutrophil function in alpacas

    Creator:
    Mangan, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    Camelids are known for frequent occurrence of general ill-thrift. In other species, neutrophil dysfunction has been identified as a cause of ill-thrift, and linked to chronic fungal and bacterial infections. However, no reference values exist for neutrophil function testing in camelids, which inhibits accurate evaluation of neutrophil deficiency in this...

  • Effects of Yeast Type and Environmental Factors on Kombucha Fermentation

    Creator:
    Julianna, Winding
    Abstract:
    Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea beverage of Asian origin which has become popular in the West due to its distinct flavor and possible health benefits. Kombucha is fermented by inoculating sweet tea with yeast and bacteria until a pellicle, referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and...

  • Cross-resistance to azole fungicides in Zymoseptoria tritici disease of wheat

    Creator:
    Sykes, Emily
    Abstract:
    Fungicide resistance has become an increasing problem in North American populations of Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of septoria leaf blotch of wheat. The goal of this experiment was to determine whether Z. tritici’s resistance to one azole fungicide would predict resistance in other fungicides within the same family. Cross-resistance...

  • The Search for Mitochondrial Ribonucleotide Reductase

    Creator:
    Bai, Daniel Helin
    Abstract:
    One of the distinctive features of mitochondria is that they have their own DNA. When compared to nuclear DNA, it is known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) not only has a much higher rate of spontaneous mutation, but also arises from metabolically distinct precursor pools. Others from our laboratory have demonstrated...

  • Carbonation of Mid-Twentieth Century Reinforced Concrete Bridges in Oregon

    Creator:
    Folkestad, Jill Louise
    Abstract:
    Carbonation of Carbon is of concern for reinforced concrete bridges. While long-term environmental deterioration of structures is unavoidable, protective design allows a structure to fulfill its service life without any significant serviceability or strength loss due to deterioration. Understanding the process of concrete carbonation and the effect it has on...

  • Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

    Creator:
    Stark, Duncan
    Abstract:
    While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...
