Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

Creator:: Kirby, Bryan L.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

On the Structure of the Orbit Spaces of Almost Torus Manifolds with Non-negative Curvature

Creator:: Dong, Zheting
Abstract:: An almost torus manifold $M$ is a closed $(2n+1)$-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold with an effective, isometric $n$-torus action such that the fixed point set $M^T$ is non-empty. Almost torus manifolds are analogues of torus manifolds in odd dimension and share many of the characteristics of torus manifolds. For example, both...

Suppression of Met signaling by the green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)

Creator:: Larsen, Christine A.
Abstract:: Met is a prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer patient survival. Therapies that target Met may therefore have beneficial outcomes in the clinic. Recently, EGCG was reported to suppress Met activation, although the mechanisms were not elucidated. HCT116 and HT29 human colon cancer cells were used to examine the relationships between...

Value and evaluation : a case study of interdisciplinary green infrastructure continuing professional education trainings

Creator:: Johnson, Christine M.
Abstract:: The practice of green infrastructure is synonymous with collaborative partnerships. Expertise from engineers, land care professionals, planners, and natural resource consultants are often required for successful project implementation. Traditionally, these professionals perform their responsibilities in their disciplinary “silos,” but this evolving area of sustainable development is creating a demand for...

Wave propagation processes at the mouth of the Columbia River

Creator:: Andes, Lisa (Lisa Christine)
Abstract:: The mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) has a longstanding reputation of hazardous navigational conditions. This reputation has been developing since the first ship, the Columbia, traversed through the inlet in 1792. The hazardous conditions are related to the large waves and strong tidal currents that are common in the...

Advection-diffusion in inertial flow through periodically converging-diverging tubes

Creator:: Lambert, Adam
Abstract:: A direct numerical simulation of advection-diffusion in a sinusoidal tube was carried out using the commercial ﬁnite-volume code STAR-CD. The Reynolds numbers varied from Re = 0.1 to Re = 14.5. At the larger Reynolds numbers, steady-state eddies formed in the diverging sections and significantly inﬂuenced the macroscale dispersion. Long...

Opportunities and limitations for community forest enterprises : case of TIP Muebles, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Creator:: Villavicencio Valdez, Gabriela Valeria
Abstract:: The fact that 80 percent of Mexican forestlands are under common ownership impacts the competitiveness of the forest products industry and forest sustainability. Community forest enterprises (CFE) are a heterogeneous group of forest industries managed by indigenous and local communities for livelihood and profit. Many CFEs face inner competitiveness problems,...

Biomolecule detection by amplified photoluminescence of germanium doped diatom biosilica

Creator:: Gale, Debra K.
Abstract:: There is significant interest in the fabrication of nano- and micro-structured silica with spatially ordered features, which exhibit enhanced optoelectronic properties with application to the next generation of display devices, semiconductors, and sensors. Currents methods of fabrication employ top down processes which use extremes of temperature, pressure, and power. There...

Characterizing drivers of microbial community structure and function in diverse marine sediments

Creator:: Graw, Michael F.
Abstract:: Marine sediments are one of the largest habitats for microbial life on earth. These microorganisms play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling both within the subsurface and between the sediment and water columns. However, microbial communities in sediments are highly heterogeneous and the factors defining microbial community structure and metabolic function...

Continued fractions and the divisor at infinity on a hyperelliptic curve : examples and order bounds

Creator:: Daowsud, Katthaleeya
Abstract:: We use the theory of continued fractions over function fields in the setting of hyperelliptic curves of equation y²=f(x), with deg(f)=2g+2. By introducing a new sequence of polynomials defined in terms of the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of y, we are able to bound the sum of...
