Structure-Property Relationships of Supported Palladium and Rhenium Oxide for the Alkane Rearrangement of Hydrocarbons and Deconstruction of Polyethylene via Tandem Dehydrogenation and Olefin Metathesis

Creator:: Moore, Selena C.
Abstract:: The rapid accumulation of plastic waste in landfill, waterways and oceans is becoming a critical problem, one that current recycling technologies are not capable of solving. Recent proposed approaches in the depolymerization of waste plastics employ an Olefin-Intermediate Process (OIP), where feedstocks like polyolefin plastics are ‘activated,’ producing an olefin...

Landscape features affecting genetic diversity and structure in East African ungulate species

Creator:: Crowhurst, Rachel Selena
Abstract:: Habitat loss and fragmentation is a crisis affecting wildlife worldwide. In Tanzania, East Africa, a dramatic and recent (<80 years) expansion in human settlement and agriculture threatens to reduce gene flow among protected areas for many species of large mammals. Wildlife linkages can mitigate population isolation, but linkage designs lacking...

Basin-scale variation in the spatial pattern of fall movement of juvenile coho salmon in the West Fork Smith River, Oregon

Creator:: Hance, Dalton J.
Abstract:: from the summer dry season to the winter wet season. Such movement that connects summer and winter habitats may be particularly important for coho salmon, O. kisutch, because availability of overwintering habitat can limit freshwater survival for this species. Here, I describe basin-scale variability in the spatial pattern of fall...

Seagrasses as Potential Chemical Refugia for Acidification-Sensitive Bivalves

Creator:: Smith, Stephanie Rae
Abstract:: As the effect of ocean acidification (OA) on marine calcifiers is better understood, a range of potential mitigative strategies have been proposed, many of which are plagued by concerns of scale and feasibility. One oft-cited option is to increase the biomass of photosynthetic organisms to remove CO₂ from the water...

Age, chemistry, and tectonic significance of Easter and Sala y Gomez Islands

Creator:: Clark, James Gregory, 1948-
Abstract:: Easter Island and Sala y Gomez are part of the Sala y Gomez Ridge, a broad band of high topography and scattered seamounts extending ESE from the East Pacific Rise. It has been proposed that the Sala y Gomez Ridge results from the movement of the Nazca Plate over a...

A phytochemical study of Achlys triphylla (Smith) DC., (Berberidaceae)

Creator:: Born, Alvin Edmund
Abstract:: Achlys triphylla, a member of a medicinally active family containing alkaloids, was examined phytochemically to determine its possible value as a source of medicinal agents. Pharmacological testing of the crude ethanol extract exhibited a competitive inhibition of acetylcholine and histamine. Purification of alkaloid 'A' from the crude ethanol extract and...

Association of nitrogen-fixing bacteria with ectomycorrhizae in Douglas-fir

Creator:: Niu, Chih-Hao
Abstract:: Many higher plants have mycorrhizae associated with their roots. These structures are often essential for survival and growth (Harley & Smith 1983). Mycorrhizae are known for the abilities to enhance nutrient absorption. While nitrogen-fixing organisms are found as components of the mycorrhizosphere, mycorrhizal fungi are not presently known to fix...

Over-wintering diet, growth, and prey available to juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in the West Fork Smith River, Oregon

Creator:: Olegario, Anthony
Abstract:: Over-winter growth of juvenile salmonids may be linked to ocean survival and thus species persistence. Diet, growth, and prey available to juvenile coho, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were examined from December 2004 to April 2005 in four tributaries of the West Fork Smith River (WFSR), Oregon. Juvenile coho growth rate and condition...

Using Computational and Statistical Methods as an Aid to Study Environmentally Relevant Organic Molecules

Creator:: Dorn, Shelby E.
Abstract:: In this report, three studies are presented that utilize computations to predict transformations, identities, and properties of environmental organic molecules. Each study shows how computations can lead to models of chemical behavior. The importance of this research is rooted in the need for understanding how human behavior and health intersect...
