Exploring the Anaerobic Co-digestion of Food Waste, Brewery Waste, and Fats, Oils, and Greases through Biomethane Potential Testing and Response Surface Methodology

Creator:: Liberman, Madalyn R.
Abstract:: Food waste (FW), brewery waste (BW), and fats, oils, and greases (FOG), are prevalent waste streams in municipalities across the country, particularly in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Anaerobic digestion (AD), the microbial-mediated transformation of organic waste into methane-rich biogas, offers a sustainable, energy-generating, waste management solution for these wastes. Anaerobic...

Host-Induced Gene Silencing in Black Cottonwood for Control of Septoria Canker: Efficacy and Non-Target Impacts

Creator:: Gordon, Michael I.
Abstract:: Septoria canker remains the most important disease of poplars in intensively managed forest plantations. Genetic resistance has long been considered the best way to manage for this disease. Transgenic resistance mediated by RNA silencing against pathogens and pests (HIGS: host-induced gene silencing) has shown promise in other pathosystems but has...

Biodiversity Responses in Early Seral Forests of the Klamath-Siskiyou: Comparisons with Birds, Bees, and Ground Beetles among Post-fire, Salvage Logging, and Intensive Forest Management Environments

Creator:: Frank, Graham S.
Abstract:: Early seral forests regenerating from stand-replacing disturbances provide unique habitat for many species in productive, temperate forest landscapes and contribute to supporting biodiversity. Population declines in some species associated with early seral forests have prompted concerns about the conservation of these habitats, particularly the characteristic structural and compositional complexity associated...

Western U.S. Water Utilities and Adaptive Capacity: A Case Study

Creator:: Schermer, Maren
Abstract:: Water in the U.S. West faces considerable challenges and uncertainties. Climate change has intensified weather extremes, threatening the water sources that support the region’s many stakeholders. Urban water providers are among the stakeholders contending with the challenge of providing reliable water supplies to their growing populations. Recognizing the critical role...

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...

How Straight Married Men in Sexual Addiction Recovery Experience Healthy Sexuality, Now as Recovering Sex Addicts: Two IPA Studies on Straight Married Men and Their Experience of Healthy Sexuality Through Recovery

Creator:: Cosper, Christy
Abstract:: This set of studies delve into the complex realm of healthy sexuality within sexual addiction treatment, where diverse perspectives often lead to confusion and suboptimal outcomes. The primary goal of most treatment models is guiding clients toward a healthier sexual experience. Sex addiction, a complex phenomenon, involves compulsive sexual behaviors,...
