  • Ultralite copper reflex tube life test and ceramic fabric wicking rate experiments

    Creator:
    Snuggerud, Ross D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis covers two topics. The first subject involves tests run on a ultralite reflux tube supplied by Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories (PNL). The second topic involves tests to determine the relative wicking rates of several different fabrics. The ultralite reflux tube supplied by PNL was constructed of copper and...

  • Phytoplankton of an ice-edge bloom in the Ross Sea, with special reference to the elemental composition of Antarctic diatoms

    Creator:
    Carbonell, Maria Consuelo
    Abstract:
    A phytoplankton bloom dominated by the pennate diatom Nitzschia curta (Van Heurck) Hasle was observed during January-February 1983 at a receding ice-edge in the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica. The core of the bloom was found between 100-150 Km from the ice-edge. Nitzschia curta cell densities up to 22 x 10⁶...

  • A Ross-Macdonald Model with Vector Demography

    Creator:
    Reyes Grimaldo, Ricardo Noe Gerardo
    Abstract:
    Malaria is a vector-borne disease that has affected humans and other animals for a long time and which has shown high prevalence among different populations. During the beginning of the 20th century, Sir Ronald Ross and George Macdonald developed a model that represents the spread of malaria through the interaction...

  • Investigations of gluten proteins from functional and historical perspective

    Creator:
    Zhang, Ying
    Abstract:
    Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the world’s major staple food crops, with flour produced from starchy endosperm being used for breads, cakes, noodles and various other wheat-based foods. The unique bread making properties of wheat are primarily attributed to its gluten-forming storage proteins: gliadins and glutenins. This study investigated...

  • Ballistic rebounds for wrapping a target with a casting manipulator

    Creator:
    Hill, Lucas P.
    Abstract:
    Casting manipulation in robotics is the act of launching a tethered projectile and using it to interact with the environment. One such interaction is wrapping a target. In this work, we identify throwing and tether control parameters for successfully wrapping a target with an end-weighted cable, evolving through a set...

  • Robotic Machining Fundamentals for Casting Defect Removal

    Creator:
    Biederman, Moriah
    Abstract:
    In the past half century, industrial robots have developed a strong presence in manufacturing. They now commonly perform tasks such as materials handling, assembly, welding, and painting. Unfortunately robotic machining tasks have seen limited deployments. The majority of machining robots are designed for soft materials like wood or plastic and...

  • Design and Development of a Salticid Inspired Jumping Robot

    Creator:
    Tachella, Ramsey
    Abstract:
    The ability to jump allows small robots to traverse rough terrain, clear large obstacles, and quickly reach elevated locations. These abilities have applications in a variety of areas such as, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and urban warfare. The primary focus in current state-of-the-art jumping robots has been on jumping...

  • Glutenin macropolymer in salted and alkaline noodles and its relation with dough properties and cooked noodle texture

    Creator:
    Ong, Yee-Ling
    Abstract:
    Glutenin protein molecules can form a large "macropolymer" which forms the elastic component of the gluten complex in wheat flour doughs. Little work has been done to investigate relationships between glutenin macropolymer (GMP) and noodle processing. GMP was isolated from flour of 4 wheat varieties; 3 hard- and 1 soft-grained...

  • Bioenergetic evaluation of diel vertical migration by bull trout

    Creator:
    Eckmann, Madeleine
    Abstract:
    I evaluated hypotheses related to growth as a driver of depth use and diel vertical migration by bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in a thermally stratified reservoir. I applied a bioenergetic model to evaluate growth of bull trout in relation to potential patterns of diel depth use by bull trout in...

    Abstract:
    Studies were undertaken on the Steiwer, Hazelair, Hedden, Dixonville, Knappa, Haines, Ladd, Wingville and Powder soil series plus three additional unnamed soils from western Oregon, in an effort to determine their molybdenum status and to evaluate the use of the anion exchange resin method as a means of assaying available...
