Effect of Active Trailing Edge Motion Upon Airfoil Energy Harvester

Creator:: Strahl, Jordan D.
Abstract:: The application of a flapping foil with prescribed trailing edge motion to energy harvesting in a low reduced frequency (k = fc/U∞) regime was experimentally studied. The effects of the phase and amplitude of the applied trailing edge motion upon time-variant power extraction capability have been measured and are interpreted....

Assessing water governance capacity in MENA : applying an institutional document analysis to Jordan

Creator:: Brown, Bridget N.
Abstract:: Water governance has been identified as a crucial component to improving conditions and balancing supply and demand of water resources in the water-scarce Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Finding a method for, and commencing the process of, evaluating water governance is thus imperative. This study analyzes the potential to...

Factors affecting contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in northern Jordan : a framework for health policy action

Creator:: Hijazi, Heba Hesham
Abstract:: Jordan has a higher fertility rate (3.8) than the averages of countries similar in income to Jordan (2.2) and compared to the Middle East and North Africa region as a whole (2.8) (WHO, WB, UNICEF, & DHS, 2011). The findings of the 2009 Jordanian Population and Family Health Survey demonstrated...

Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

Soil Health and the Response of the Soil Microbial Community to Disturbances across Western North America

Creator:: Kersey, Jordan H.
Abstract:: Temperate coniferous forests, such as those that cover vast areas of the western US and Canada, have evolved to depend on cycles of disturbance for succession of species and overall ecosystem maintenance. Many of these forest systems are managed, often for timber production, where disturbances are of anthropogenic origin and...

Examining Wave Attenuation Rates and Subsurface Pore Pressures Across Three Marsh Restoration Sill Structures on a Sandy Bed

Creator:: Converse, Jordan D.
Abstract:: With rising sea levels and more frequent exposure to extreme storms, coastlines worldwide are vulnerable to increased erosion and loss of natural marsh lands. In an effort to lessen these impacts, there is a growing practice of adapting hard or “gray” coastline protection techniques to more nature-based features that promote...

Plant Species Diversity and Pasture Productivity of a High-input Dairy Pastureland System and a Low-input Sheep Pastureland System in Western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Anderson, Jordan D.
Abstract:: The sustainable use of natural resources, including the goods and services provided by pasturelands and rangelands, is of growing importance due to climatic uncertainty and population growth. Maintaining high productivity in livestock operations is necessary as land availability diminishes and global populations rise. The potential negative impacts to the environment...

The influence of sex, migration distance, and latitude on expression of anadromy in Oncorhynchus mykiss

Creator:: Ohms, Haley
Abstract:: The evolution and maintenance of multiple phenotypes within populations is an interesting evolutionary and ecological question, and is becoming increasingly important for the restoration and conservation of partially migratory species. In particular, why individuals adopt a particular phenotype has been the focus of numerous research efforts. In the partially migratory...

Classical chaotic scatting from symmetric four hill potentials

Creator:: Bauman, Jordan Michael
Abstract:: Classical chaotic scattering experiments were performed on ten different four hill potentials, unique under x-axis reflection, given by: V(x,y) = x²y²e⁻⁽ˣ² ⁺ ʸ²⁾ σᵢ where σᵢ was ±1 depending upon quadrant. Our work was based on a paper (9) that only studied the case where σᵢ =1 in all quadrants....
