  • β-Lactoglobulin adsorption equilibrium at low- and high-energy surfaces

    Creator:
    Al-Malah, Kamal Issa Masoud
    Abstract:
    Ellipsometry was used to study the effects of surface energetics and temperature on the equilibrium adsorptive behavior exhibited by β-lactoglobulin. β-Lactoglobulin isotherms at 25, 37, and 55°C were constructed for this purpose. The surfaces of acrylic, polycarbonate, polyester, glass, and #304 stainless steel were contacted with protein solutions of varying...

  • α-tocopherol is specifically delivered to human skin : studies using deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol

    Creator:
    Vaule, Heather D.
    Abstract:
    The relative enrichment of skin sebaceous gland lipids with deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol was compared with plasma enrichment to evaluate the delivery of vitamin E to skin. For the first week of this study, each subject consumed a daily dose of deuterated vitamin E (150 mg of an equimolar mixture of RRR-α-[5-(C²H₃)]-(d₃)...

  • Zonal Resource Adequacy for Voltage Control

    Creator:
    Boller, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    In a power system, operators maintain voltage stability through adequate reactive reserves. Maintaining and accessing an efficient allocation of reactive reserves is prohibitively complex because of reactive line losses, the variety of reactive resources, and either limited or variable reactive outputs from renewable sources. By clustering the system into smaller...

  • Zinc-phosphorus relationships in five plant species

    Creator:
    Henning, Stanley John
    Abstract:
    The effects of zinc and phosphorus treatments on five different plant species were investigated in a greenhouse experiment. A second greenhouse experiment extended these investigations in sweet corn over a broad range of phosphorus treatments with and without adequate zinc nutrition to study phosphorus induced zinc deficiency. The plant responses...

  • Zinc-65 uptake by a bacterium isolated from Alder Slough, Columbia River Estuary

    Creator:
    Tonjes, Stephen Dodd
    Abstract:
    Bacteria were isolated from water at Alder Slough, Oregon. Of 15 isolates grown successfully in the medium employed, 100% showed measurable uptake of Zn-65. A growth curve was established for one isolate, a gram-negative rod designated AS-1. Increasing Zn-65 uptake was found generally to correspond with increasing growth of AS-1....

  • Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor current mirror circuits

    Creator:
    Feller, Layannah Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    The central focus of this thesis is the design, fabrication and characterization of amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistor (TFT) current mirrors. The thin-film deposition and circuit fabrication methods used to realize zinc tin oxide (ZTO) TFT current mirrors are addressed in order to elucidate the processing challenges for this...

  • Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor circuits

    Creator:
    Heineck, Daniel Philip
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to indium- or gallium-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice...

  • Zinc Tin Oxide Thin Films by Pulsed Laser Deposition for use in Transparent Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Osborne, James J.
    Abstract:
    Zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are investigated as a channel layers for transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). Films are deposited on glass for characterization, and transistor channel layers are deposited onto aluminum oxide-titanium oxide/tin doped indium oxide/glass substrates (ATO/ITO/glass) to produce TTFTs. UV-visible spectroscopy on...

  • Young-of-the-year rockfish (Sebastes spp.) settlement dynamics in Oregon estuaries

    Creator:
    Dauble, Alison D.
    Abstract:
    In the Pacific Northwest, several species of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) are under extreme conservation measures due to low population levels. Although currently at healthy population levels, one species of interest is the black rockfish (S. melanops), which has been shown to utilize estuarine habitat during its early life history stages....
