  • Evaluation of stream temperature spatial variation using distributed temperature sensing

    Creator:
    O'Donnell, Tara
    Abstract:
    Water temperature in rivers and streams is an important factor for aquatic ecosystem health. Measurement of stream temperature has traditionally been accomplished by point temperature measurements, continuous point temperature loggers, and more recently, airborne remote sensing techniques such as Forward-Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) or Thermal Infrared Radiometry. While each of...

  • Stream Temperature Modeling for Marys River Watershed

    Creator:
    Mustafa, Mamoon
    Abstract:
    High water temperatures in rivers have detrimental effects on riverine water quality and ecology. In this study, two river temperature models, within the agricultural watershed model Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), were investigated for their ability to simulate water temperatures accurately throughout the year. The original temperature model within...

  • Elevation, thermal environment, and stream temperatures on headwater streams in northeastern Oregon

    Creator:
    Meays, Cynthia L.
    Abstract:
    A case study examining the relationship between stream temperatures and the thermal environment through which streams flow was conducted on the headwaters of 4 tributaries of the Burnt River (Barney, Elk, Greenhorn, and Stevens Creeks) in northeastern Oregon during July through August 1998 and 1999. Barney Creek and Stevens Creek...

  • Ocean Temperature Variability during the Late Pleistocene

    Creator:
    Hoffman, Jeremy Scott
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores one overarching question relevant to the paleoclimate of the latest Pleistocene glacial cycle (approximately the last 130,000 years): “How did spatial and temporal evolution of ocean temperature, both at the surface and interior, relate to other parts of the climate system in the late Pleistocene?” Results from...

  • Intermetallic microlamination for high-temperature microreactors

    Creator:
    Dewey, Tyler
    Abstract:
    Chemical microreactors offer opportunities for portable power generation, on-site waste remediation and point-of-use chemical synthesis. Much of the existing development of microreactor devices involves silicon-based microfabrication techniques. It is recognized that new refractory materials are important to realizing high-temperature microreactors. Requirements of these materials include high-temperature resistance, chemical inertness and...

  • Incremental Forming of Polymers at Room Temperature

    Creator:
    Davar Panah, Mohammad Ali
    Abstract:
    Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a forming process in which a fully clamped sheet is formed by a hemispherical ended tool that moves along a predefined 3D toolpath. The sheet is formed in a series of local deformations to reach its desired shape. Double Sided Incremental Forming (DSIF) includes...

  • Headwater stream characterization : an energy and physical approach to stream temperature using distributed temperature sensing

    Creator:
    Roth, Travis R.
    Abstract:
    Headwater streams are an integral part of the ecological health of the greater stream network as they provide valuable biological habitat, provide upwards to 95% of total in channel flow, while providing downstream reaches with important constituents such as sediment and woody debris. Small headwater streams are particularly susceptible to...

  • Effects of Elevated Temperature on Mycobacterium chelonae Growth and Mycobacteriosis in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

    Creator:
    Lopez, Elizanette V.
    Abstract:
    Utilization of zebrafish, Danio rerio, has steadily increased and its applications have expanded into numerous fields of science. Applying elevated temperatures (32°C to 37°C) to this organism has allowed researchers to conduct climate change, human cancer and infectious disease studies. Though zebrafish can be acclimated from the standard 28°C to...

  • Assessing the impact of temperature on grape phenolic metabolism

    Creator:
    Cohen, Seth D.
    Abstract:
    Many climatic factors influence grape berry composition including nutrient status, water availability, biotic stress, sun exposure and temperature. Previous research examined the effects of many factors listed above and much progress has been made. It is often difficult, however, to separate effects that typically confound each other, such as sun...

  • Role of Sea Surface Physical Processes in Mixed-layer Temperature Changes During Summer Marine Heat Waves in the Chile-Peru Current System

    Creator:
    Cooley, Kylene M.
    Abstract:
    Development of marine heat waves (MHWs) in the Chile-Peru Current System (CPCS) is influenced by multiple physical processes at the air-sea interface whose individual role in these destructive events is difficult to infer. We identified MHW events from sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from time periods of extreme ocean warming...
