Wheeled Mobility Devices Performance and Passive Securement Systems

Creator:: Mather, Andrea
Abstract:: Wheeled mobility devices (WhMD) pose unique safety risks to users while riding public transportation. Unsecured or improperly secured WhMDs create safety concerns for other transit riders and operators. Tests using accelerometers and visual observations were conducted to understand how WhMD orientation and securement in articulated buses, streetcars, and light rail...

Helium isotope variations in peridotite, gabbro and basalt from the Kane Oceanic Core Complex

Creator:: Konrad, Kevin
Abstract:: The Kane Oceanic Core Complex (OCC) is a valuable window into crustal architecture and chemical composition of the lithosphere beneath a slow-spreading ocean ridge. A suite of > 30 samples (comprised of whole rocks, mineral separates and basalt glasses) has been analyzed for ³He/⁴He isotope ratios and He concentrations. Gas...

A study of the ergonomics of emergency stop pushbuttons

Creator:: Zárate, Patricia B.
Abstract:: Emergency stop controls are essential parts of industrial machinery because they are designed to stop the operation in case of emergencies without risks to operators, equipment, products, or facilities. Current guidelines for emergency stop controls have been formulated based on experience but not on empirical studies. The main objectives of...

Determination of marine migratory behavior and its relationship to selected physical traits for least cisco (Coregonus sardinella) of the western Arctic coastal plain, Alaska

Creator:: Seigle, John C.
Abstract:: With increased resource development on the western Arctic coastal plain of Alaska (especially within the oil extraction industry) it is important to understand the basic life history attributes of whitefish stocks in the region in order to ensure appropriate management. These fish are a crucial part of subsistence harvests for...

Mineralogy and geochemistry of copper deposits of the Lights Creek Stock, California : an assessment of porphyry versus iron-oxide copper origin

Creator:: Stephens, Abigail E.
Abstract:: The Lights Creek Stock is an 18 square kilometer copper-bearing granitoid intrusion within the Plumas Copper Belt in the northern California Sierra Nevada. Engels Mine, Superior Mine, and Moonlight Valley represent the main copper-mineralization in the Lights Creek district and small prospects include the Ruby Mine, and Moonlight Creek. The...

Development of a progeny marker for steelhead

Creator:: Shippentower, Gene E.
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to determine if strontium chloride could be used to create a trans-generational otolith mark in steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). I completed two strontium injection trials and a survey of juvenile steelhead from various steelhead hatcheries. The two trials measured Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths in response to injections...

Crystal Records of the Origin, Evolution, and Thermal Histories of Magmas

Creator:: Bradshaw, Richard W., 1985-
Abstract:: In volcanic systems, magma is generally stored in the shallow crust prior to eruption. The conditions of this storage directly impact whether the magma eventually erupts, or crystallizes within the crust to form a pluton. In this dissertation I present four studies that investigate the storage conditions of a number...

Atomic solid state energy scale applied to novel thin-film solar absorbers

Creator:: Pelatt, Brian D.
Abstract:: The atomic solid state energy (SSE) scale is introduced as a tool for inorganic materials design. The SSE scale is obtained by assessing an average electron affinity (EA) (for a cation) or an average ionization potential (IP) (for an anion) for each atom using data from compounds having that specific...

Roles of gas and solid components in the direct nitridation of silicon

Creator:: Pavarajarn, Varong
Abstract:: The factors influencing the direct nitridation of silicon, including the effects of the native oxide layer covering the surface of silicon, the effects of hydrogen contained in the nitridation gas and the catalytic effects of metals added to the raw material silicon, were investigated, using a tubular flow reactor and...

Electronic device and nanolaminate application of amorphous metal thin films

Creator:: Cowell, E. William, III
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to develop amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) for two-terminal electrical device and nanolaminate applications. Two AMTFs, ZrCuAlNi and TiAl, are investigated in both two-terminal electrical device and nanolaminate applications. Material properties including composition, atomic order, surface morphology, surface potential, and electrical resistivity are explored....
