Condensation of a zeotropic mixture, R-454C, and its individual components, R-1234yf and R-32, in microfin tubes

Creator:: Matty, Ethan P.
Abstract:: This work compares the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop for zeotropic refrigerant R-454C and its individual components, R-32 and R-1234yf, in horizontal microfin tubes. One microfin tube has a 4 mm outer diameter, 0.18 mm wall thickness, and a surface area ratio of 1.56. The second tube has a...

A characterization of seasonal pools in Central Oregon's high desert

Creator:: Dlugolecki, Laura
Abstract:: Seasonal wetlands in arid and semi-arid lands provide an important source of surface water in otherwise dry lands. Central Oregon's high desert, located in the Northern Great Basin (NGB) is dotted with hundreds of seasonal pools, locally called playas. The playas hold water or snow during parts of winter and...

The Impact of Surface Ocean Mixing on Phytoplankton Communities and Associated Carbon Pools

Creator:: VerWey, Brian J.
Abstract:: Deep mixing events in the ocean’s surface layer act as physical drivers of carbon export by detraining dissolved and particulate organic matter, including surface phytoplankton communities, to depth. Once removed from the sunlit surface ocean environment, phytoplankton accumulation rates are dependent on the relative contributions of loss processes, such as...

Age-related alterations in transcriptional regulation of hepatic glutathione synthesis : remediation by R-alpha-lipoic acid

Creator:: Shenvi, Swapna V.
Abstract:: Glutathione (GSH) is the predominant low molecular weight thiol antioxidant in liver tissue. GSH plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular thiol redox ratio as well as detoxification of electrophiles and xenobiotics. Aging leads to a significant decline (35%; P ≤ 0.05) in hepatocellular GSH levels. Using young (2-4...

Aroma comparison of 'Marion' (Rubus sp. L.) and 'Thornless Evergreen' (R. laciniatus L.) blackberries

Creator:: Klesk, Keith
Abstract:: 'Marion' and 'Thornless Evergreen' blackberry volatiles were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FED) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on total percentage of FID area 'Thornless Evergreen' contains significantly more alcohols, hydrocarbons, and phenols than the 'Marion'; 'Marion' contains more acids and esters. Both cultivars contained comparable amounts of...
