Mathematical and Computational Considerations of a Model of Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation

Creator:: Barry, Zachary T.
Abstract:: In this paper, we discuss two possible modifications to a numerical solution method for a model of microbiologically induced calcite precipitation (MICP). MICP provides a means to seal cracks in the surfaces of geological structures. From a mathematical and computational point of view MICP has very interesting features which make...

Investigating the ecological role of cell signaling in free-living marine heterotrophic protists

Creator:: Hartz, Aaron J.
Abstract:: Phagotrophic protists are major consumers of microbial biomass in aquatic ecosystems. However, biochemical mechanisms underlying prey recognition and phagocytosis by protists are not well understood. We investigated the potential roles of cell signaling mechanisms in chemosensory response to prey, and in capture of prey cells, by a marine ciliate (Uronema...

Local Existence for a Non-local Multi-Species Advection-Diffusion Equation with Newtonian Potential

Creator:: Radke, Zachary
Abstract:: In biological models, advection is inherently a non-local process. Coupled with diffusion, it typically models chemotaxis, which is the response of bacteria to the presence of some chemo attractant. For example, E. coli cells use their flagella to probe their surroundings to determine where they should move. The advection-diffusion equation...

Toward a flexible and accurate approach to null network sampling

Creator:: Bright, Zachary A.
Abstract:: Null networks are a type of random graph that is favored for the analysis of a wide variety of real-world networks, including gene-regulatory networks, food webs, and species co-occurrence matrices. As a hypothesis-generating tool, null networks are invaluable because they can reveal network motifs and unusual large-scale properties of networks...

Searching for Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene-age Deposits in the Paleo-Tahkenitch Stream Basin: A Geoarchaeological Investigation in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Newell, Zachary A.
Abstract:: Coastal stream basins are of great importance to efforts aimed at refining our understanding of the earliest populations that inhabited the ancient Oregon coast. However, geomorphic responses to post-glacial sea level rise in these settings has produced depositional environments that destroy or deeply bury late Pleistocene and early Holocene-age archaeological...

Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

Creator:: Wallace, Zachary P.
Abstract:: Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

Development of Temperature Stable Dielectric Materials Based on Lead Bismuth Perovskite Solid Solutions

Creator:: Colton, Zachary D.
Abstract:: High energy density ceramic capacitors with temperature stable permittivity across -150°C to 300°C are desired for a wide variety of electronic devices. Traditional dielectrics such as barium titanate provide a high permittivity but that permittivity is strongly temperature dependent over this specified temperature range. The goal of this work is...

Bottom-up cost modeling for vanadium redox flow battery component manufacturing

Creator:: Southworth, Zachary J.
Abstract:: In the U.S. there are increasing energy demands that require an ever-increasing need for the large-scale use of new energy resources. Specifically, sporadic renewable energy sources are being incorporated into utility energy portfolios. Thus, supporting stationary energy storage technologies are needed to make these renewable sources reliable and feasible for...

Preferences and Strategies of Interest Groups and their Constituents in the Responsible Development of Wave Energy Technology in Oregon

Creator:: Covell, Zachary
Abstract:: During 2007 proposals for wave energy technology projects in Oregon's nearshore stirred up attention as interest groups experienced rapid changes both socially and economically. The purpose of this research was to analyze factors influencing interest groups and their membership so as to examine their preferences and strategies pertaining to emerging...
