Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

Creator:: Kirby, Bryan L.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

Region-Specific Investigation of the Cone Penetration Test for Preliminary Classification and Estimation of Preconsolidation Stress, Undrained Shear Strength, and Cyclic Resistance of Transitional Silts

Creator:: Ortiz, Susan Christine
Abstract:: The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) has been widely-adopted for rapid, cost-effective exploration of the subsurface and reduction in the effort associated with drilling, sampling, and laboratory testing of soil. The adoption of the CPT has stemmed in part to the correlation of measurements to preliminary soil classification, stress history, drained...

Value and evaluation : a case study of interdisciplinary green infrastructure continuing professional education trainings

Creator:: Johnson, Christine M.
Abstract:: The practice of green infrastructure is synonymous with collaborative partnerships. Expertise from engineers, land care professionals, planners, and natural resource consultants are often required for successful project implementation. Traditionally, these professionals perform their responsibilities in their disciplinary “silos,” but this evolving area of sustainable development is creating a demand for...

Advection-diffusion in inertial flow through periodically converging-diverging tubes

Creator:: Lambert, Adam
Abstract:: A direct numerical simulation of advection-diffusion in a sinusoidal tube was carried out using the commercial ﬁnite-volume code STAR-CD. The Reynolds numbers varied from Re = 0.1 to Re = 14.5. At the larger Reynolds numbers, steady-state eddies formed in the diverging sections and significantly inﬂuenced the macroscale dispersion. Long...

Opportunities and limitations for community forest enterprises : case of TIP Muebles, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Creator:: Villavicencio Valdez, Gabriela Valeria
Abstract:: The fact that 80 percent of Mexican forestlands are under common ownership impacts the competitiveness of the forest products industry and forest sustainability. Community forest enterprises (CFE) are a heterogeneous group of forest industries managed by indigenous and local communities for livelihood and profit. Many CFEs face inner competitiveness problems,...

Development of a problem-based learning classification rubric for community college instruction

Creator:: Knelly, Leah J.
Abstract:: Problem-based learning (PBL) is one type of inquiry-based learning. Many community college instructors use inquiry-based learning as an instructional strategy. There is much literature on the use of problem-based learning in undergraduate, graduate and medical school education, with a multitude of examples of specific techniques and problems to be addressed,...

Changes in structure and stress in Mo/a-Si thin films upon annealing

Creator:: Weber, Frank John
Abstract:: The structural and stress changes in molybdenum/amorphous silicon (Mo/a-Si) EUV reflecting multilayers during annealing at 316°C were studied. The amorphous interlayers, with an Mo:Si stoichiometry of 1:2, grew during annealing. The residual stresses in each component of the multilayer also changed significantly. Through high resolution electron microscopy, selected area electron...

Gamma irradiation inactivation kinetics of medically important bacteria contaminating seafoods

Creator:: Quinn, Dorothy Jean
Abstract:: Gamma irradiation inactivation kinetics were studied using fifteen organisms naturally contaminating seafoods. Survival curves for seven Salmonella, three Shigella, two Streptococcus species and a Staphylococcus, Escherichia and Proteus species were determined using Hartsell's broth and fresh oysters. Also, the Shigella species and one species of Streptococcus, Escherichia and Proteus were...

Care and Kinship in the Anthropocene: What Interspecies Relationships Can Tell Us About Managing Agricultural Pests In A Changing Climate

Creator:: Olson, Elizabeth
Abstract:: In Oregon, the effects of climate change on agriculture are already being felt. In the Northwest, climate change impacts agricultural pest pressure, especially insects, whose life cycles are tied directly to weather and climate. The goal of this research was to record and analyze Oregon fruit and vegetable farmers’ relationships...
