  • Photobiological hydrogen production from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encapsulated in sol-gel processed silica

    Creator:
    Dickson, David J.
    Abstract:
    Photobiological hydrogen production from live cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encapsulated in silica gel was investigated. Hydrogen is a dense energy carrier with potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, provided a renewable and sustainable means of production can be achieved. Under certain conditions, Synechocystis sp. PCC...

  • Kenward-Roger approximate F test for fixed effects in mixed linear models

    Creator:
    Alnosaier, Waseem S.
    Abstract:
    For data following a balanced mixed Anova model, the standard Anova method typically leads to exact F tests of the usual hypotheses about fixed effects. However, for most unbalanced designs with most hypotheses, the Anova method does not produce exact tests, and approximate methods are needed. One approach to approximate...

  • The potential influence of database configuration on the derivation of trace element partitioning expressions for clinopyroxene

    Creator:
    Cunningham, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    Decades of experimental work has illustrated the high degree to which the partitioning of most elements is dependent on phase composition, temperature and pressure. In order to quantitatively describe clinopyroxene partitioning it is required to derive expressions using theoretical constraints calibrated with experimental data. The experimental database available for such...

  • Fair Value Accounting and the Liquidity Crisis of 2008-2009

    Creator:
    Arias, Yessenia M.
    Abstract:
    Fair value accounting has become a very popular and controversial topic in light of the 2008-2009 liquidity crisis in the United States. Fair value, also called mark-to-market, implies that assets and liabilities get measured and reported in firms‘ financial statements at market value as opposed to historical value. This study...

  • Does the Type of Licensure Affect the CPAs' Ethical Framework?

    Creator:
    Conan, Michael
    Abstract:
    Moral reasoning ability is a measure of the stage of development of an individual along a theoretical scale through which one moves over the course of their lifetime, developed by Lawrence Kohlberg and further modified by James Rest, who’s revised Defining Issues Test (DIT-2) will be used for our study....

  • Ku on the Columbia : Hawaiian laborers in the Pacific Northwest Fur Industry

    Creator:
    Rogers, Donnell J.
    Abstract:
    Archaeological investigations can reveal persistent traditions of ethnic groups. Hawaiians were employed in the fur trade of the Columbia River from 1810 through 1850. The Hudson's Bay Company employed them at Ft. Vancouver, Washington from 1825 through the end of this period. Data from the excavations of the servant's village...

  • Kinematics and Dynamics of a Model Eastern-boundary Poleward Undercurrent

    Creator:
    Duran, Rodrigo
    Abstract:
    A carefully calibrated primitive-equation model from 41°N to 48°N is used to study the poleward undercurrent off the US west coast. Chapter 2 describes poleward flow over the slope from Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives. The model is robust, in the sense of several characteristics being qualitatively consistent with observational and...

  • Red light ladies : settlement patterns and material culture on the frontier

    Creator:
    Simmons-Rogers, Alexandra L.
    Abstract:
    Red Light Ladies presents a perspective on prostitution in North America, within the context of the western mining frontier. A biographical profile of the frontier prostitutor is presented, along with an archaeological model of settlement patterns and material culture. Settlement patterns and demographic changes in the prostitutor population are hypothetically...

  • Magmatic processes beneath mid-ocean ridges : insights from mineral and glass chemistry in plagioclase ultraphyric basalts

    Creator:
    Lange, Amy E.
    Abstract:
    Prior to eruption at mid-ocean ridges, melts must travel through >6 km of crust from their origin in the mantle. The final composition of the melts is dependent on both the melting conditions and magmatic processes within the crust. While mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses are commonly used to infer...

  • Institutional Transition in the Electric Power Grid: Solar PV in California

    Creator:
    McGie, Darrell A.
    Abstract:
    Net energy metering (NEM), the diffusion of residential photovoltaics (PV), and the smart grid transition are three accelerants of change that impact the rate of transitory change in the electric power grid system. Institutional relationships that underpin the old central station model now appear to be fracturing under the weight...
