  • Light Backscatter: Shedding New Light on Milk Coagulation

    Creator:
    Miller, Rachel A.
    Abstract:
    Milk collected from individual cows (n= 31) was centrifuged to equalize fat composition and was tested during chymosin-induced coagulation to compare the influences of somatic cell level, breed, parity, protein composition, and lactation stage on coagulation rate. Coagulation rate was determined using diffuse reflectance. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for...

  • Examining the Association of Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Children with Developmental Disabilities

    Creator:
    Sheely, Hannah J.
    Abstract:
    Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is recommended for all individuals because of the benefits it provides to physical health, mental health, and overall quality of life (QoL). It is also recommended for children with developmental disabilities (DDs), which make up about 15% of all U.S. children ages 3-17 years. Previous studies...

  • Testing a Theoretical Model that Predicts Extinction of Populations Forced by Random, Episodic Disturbances

    Creator:
    Olsen, Conner J.
    Abstract:
    We do not fully understand reasons behind extinction of populations and species. Consequently, our ability to anticipate extinction (which can be considered a permanent type of an ecological threshold) has remained elusive. In particular, it is not clear how the attributes of episodic disturbance regimes can elicit extinction. In this...

  • A preliminary assessment of post-fire dissolved organic carbon concentrations in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon

    Creator:
    Hyatt, Charles
    Abstract:
    In recent decades, the occurrence of large, high severity wildfires has increased substantially in many parts of the world, including the western United States. These fires have the potential to impact water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and downstream communities for many decades. As such, it is increasingly important to understand the...

  • Development of Miniature Wire pH Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of the Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm

    Creator:
    Wong, Derek C.
    Abstract:
    The interface between a biofilm and the underlying substrate to which it is attached is challenging to study. Currently, available methods of studying this microenvironment have not been able to record data in real-time over a time period in the range of days. To address this challenge, we report the...

  • 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...

  • A Comparative Analysis of Mercury and Lead in Sindoor from the U.S. and Bangladesh

    Creator:
    Breen, Anna K.
    Abstract:
    Heavy metals have historically been popular for use in cosmetics manufacturing due to the colorful pigmentation of heavy metal compounds. In the case of sindoor, a cosmetic used by married Hindu women for religious purposes, mercury sulfide, lead tetroxide, and lead chromate are compounds suspected to still be involved in...

  • Design and Implementation of a Modular Ocean Drifter Kit

    Creator:
    Green, Austin
    Abstract:
    Ocean Drifters are a low-cost and easy-to-use platform that are commonly used for studying ocean currents. With added interest in studying the ocean, emphasis has been taken to make it more accessible. A pilot course focused on introducing the topic of ocean sensing was announced. The HC 407 course will...

  • Oxidation Energies of Chromium and Tungsten Substituted Ni (111) Surfaces

    Creator:
    Roth, Anika
    Abstract:
    The corrosion and heat resistance properties of nickel alloys are hallmarks of their importance in infrastructure and industrial catalysis processes, but these properties are highly dependent on the chemical composition of the alloy surface. Density functional theory was used for analysis of surface oxidation of four combinations of chromium and...

  • Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

    Creator:
    Kangsathein, Parm
    Abstract:
    The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...
