Laser probe for the detection of surface acoustic waves

Creator:: Albers, Emory
Abstract:: The Amplitude and phase of surface acoustic waves can be characterized using a laser beam and photodiode detector. This paper describes a technigue for charactarizing waves using the double photodiode method. This method is a modification of the knife-edge method, and involves focusing a laser beam to a beam spot...

Feasibility study for the use of a fuel cell to process landfill gas at Coffin Butte Landfill : hydrogen sulfide (H2S) detection and removal

Creator:: Tuinstra, Hannah May
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative (PNGC) operates the Landfill Gas to Energy Facility at Coffin Butte Landfill in Corvallis, OR. At this facility, three internal combustion engines use the landfill gas (predominantly methane and carbon dioxide) as fuel to turn generators that produce enough electricity to power 1,800 average sized homes....

Design of a Green Microbial Fuel Cell for Soft Robotics

Creator:: Van Volkenburg, Tessa
Abstract:: This work introduces the design and fabrication of a green-sourced and mostly biodegradable microbial fuel cell for use in soft robotic applications from environmental sensing to wastewater remediation. Theorized from other biodegradable fuel cells, this prototype achieved maximum power densities of 4.0 x 10−4 W/m2 in the single-chambered design and...

Dissecting DNA Damage Responses in Arabidopsis: A High-Throughput Sequencing Approach

Creator:: Brar, Anantnoor K., Wilcox, Buck W. L., Curtis, Marc, and Hays, John B.
Abstract:: Cells are constantly bombarded with mutagens, both endogenous and exogenous in origin. Endogenous sources of mutation include reactive oxygen species formed during aerobic respiration, replication errors by DNA polymerase, and spontaneous deamination and depurination (Jackson 2009). Exogenous sources of mutation include UV and ionizing radiation, aflatoxins, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons...

The Development of Computational Methods for Studying Plant-Pathogen Interactions

Creator:: Pankow, Rebecca C.
Abstract:: Modern technology has enabled the advancement of biological research through the use of powerful machines and computers as well as innovative computer programs. Advances in sequencing technology and software enable us to make de novo assemblies of organism genomes, and the development of specialized computer programs can automate routine but...

Luteinizing hormone receptor-mediated cell proliferation in canine T-cell lymphoma cells

Creator:: Flint, Camryn
Abstract:: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted in low-amplitude pulses in sexually intact dogs to stimulate synthesis of estrogen and testosterone in females and males, respectively. LH is mainly considered a reproductive hormone, but LH receptors (LHR) have been identified in non-reproductive tissues, including in canine lymphoma and isolated canine T-cell lymphoma...

The Role of Arabidopsis RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Genes 3, 4 and 5 in Antiviral Defense

Creator:: Lowery, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: RNA silencing plays a critical role in plant defense against viral infection. Plants use virusderived small interfering RNA to target and silence invading viruses. The antiviral silencing pathway can be broken down into three conceptual stages: initiation, amplification, and systemic movement. The molecular mechanisms of silencing initiation are not well...

Simulated and Experimental Characteristics of Analysis Techniques for ZrCuAlNi/AlOx/Al Metal-Insulator-Metal Tunnel Diodes

Creator:: Tan, Cheng
Abstract:: This project examines the results of current-voltage conduction mechanism analysis techniques simulated under assumed conduction conditions. Thermionic emission and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling conditions are simulated and analyzed. The resulting plots show how devices behave under different condition mechanisms. The effects of different conduction mechanisms on the results of various analysis techniques...

Validation of early predictors of outcome in the Dallas Newborn Cohort

Creator:: Lee, Nancy Jade
Abstract:: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a phenotypically variable disorder of hemoglobin that leads to abnormally shaped and dysfunctional red blood cells. Several studies have attempted to construct early predictive models for SCD, including Miller et al.’s (2000) model which uses easily identifiable predictors in early life. The primary aim of...

Regulation of the Pantoea agglomerans type III secretion system by plant-exuded sugars

Creator:: Bacher, Daniel
Abstract:: Pantoea agglomerans pathovar betae (Pab) is a bacterium that causes galls on the roots of beet plants, resulting in reduced marketability of beet roots and crop loss. Pab uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) to infect and cause galls on beets. The T3SS is a molecular syringe-like structure that...
