Enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizers for nitrogen management in the Columbia Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Holcomb, Jess Charles
Abstract:: Ammonia (NH₃) volatilization can result in a substantial amount of surface applied nitrogen (N) being lost into the atmosphere, making it an environmental pollutant as well as reducing plant-available N. However, N can also be easily lost from the soil through leaching, and nitrous oxide (NO₂). Enhanced efficiency N fertilizers...

Tsunami-induced Soil Instability

Creator:: Fischer, Rachael Marie
Abstract:: Recent tsunami field surveys from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami have recorded numerous examples of tsunami-induced soil instability: significant scour around foundations, foundation failure of piles, and other damage caused by liquefaction. From the observations of soil instability leading to the failure of critical coastal structures, it...

Structure-property relationships in oxides containing tellurium

Creator:: Siritanon, Theeranun
Abstract:: Oxides of post-transition metals often show unique structures and properties due to the presence of lone pair electrons and the diffused s orbitals. The present work focuses on synthesis and characterizations of oxides containing Te, a heavy post transition metal. New series of pyrochlore oxides of the formula Cs(M,Te)₂O₆ (M...

Influence of Concrete and Construction Parameters on Chloride Test Measurements and Critical Chloride Threshold Limits

Creator:: Vaddey, Naga Pavan
Abstract:: The issue of chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete and its economic impacts are well-known. Chlorides that cause reinforcement corrosion can be from constituent materials used to prepare concrete or can enter the hardened concrete when the structure is exposed to chloride environments. To minimize the risk of reinforcement...
