  • 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...

  • Properties of hydrogels for immobilization of bacteria in a commercial microfluidic dioreactor

    Creator:
    Weymann, Davis
    Abstract:
    Current technological shortcomings limit the economic viability of capturing and utilizing small sources of methane. The development of a reactor to overcome these limitations would unlock economic opportunity and incentivize reduced methane emissions. A microfluidic bioreactor containing immobilized methanotrophs has the potential to overcome these limitations by profitably converting small...

  • Detecting Violent Explosive Neurologic Trauma in American Service Members

    Creator:
    Crowell, Jeffrey R.
    Abstract:
    The emergence of high explosives on the battlefield can be defined both literally and figuratively as a seismic event in the landscape of modern warfare. High explosives first came into common use in war in 1914. By the end of World War I just four years later, more than 2.5...

  • Avian Community Assembly Following Volcanic Disturbance at Volcán Arenal, Costa Rica and Mount St. Helens, USA

    Creator:
    Fairchild, Karl C.
    Abstract:
    Volcanism is an agent of major disturbance in many parts of the world. While the effects of volcanic disturbance are fairly well-known among some groups of species, few studies have been performed in bird communities. Likewise, few studies have attempted to compare how communities in temperate and tropical biomes respond...

  • A Techno-Economic Assessment Methodology for Advanced Additive and Joining Processes

    Creator:
    Malshe, Harsha A.
    Abstract:
    Integrated manufacturing systems, a combination of subtractive, additive, and joining processes, provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing organizations. As product designs become more complex and capital more scarce, an ideal combination of advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., powder bed fusion or friction welding), in tandem with traditional subtractive manufacturing systems, can...

  • Characterization of Two Novel Machining Processes for Difficult to Machine Materials

    Creator:
    Doran, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    New materials with superior mechanical properties, such as increased strength and hardness, have been developed to allow for new and improved products. However, the mechanical properties that make these materials useful also makes them difficult to process using conventional methods. New machining processes need to be developed to generate products...

  • Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

    Creator:
    Thomas, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

  • A Unit Manufacturing Process Characterization Methodology and Supporting Terminology for Sustainable Manufacturing Assessment

    Creator:
    Garretson, Ian C.
    Abstract:
    Manufacturing industry drives economic activity and growth around the world, but manufacturing activities consume large amounts of material, energy, and labor resources. Therefore, the impacts of manufacturing need to be accounted for and reduced. Direct benefits of manufacturing are products and income, which, in turn, influence the lives of people...

  • Process Information Modeling for Characterizing Sustainability Performance of Cyclic Manufacturing Processes

    Creator:
    Manoharan, Sriram
    Abstract:
    Sustainability has become an unprecedented priority in global manufacturing due to the growing concerns over issues such as an aging workforce, environmental degradation, and public health. The simultaneous consideration of the economic, environmental, and social aspects – often referred to as the “three pillars of sustainability” – is crucial to...

  • Process-based modeling for cradle-to-gate energy and carbon footprint reduction in product design

    Creator:
    Alsaffar, Ahmed J.
    Abstract:
    Interest in accounting for environmental impacts of products, processes, and systems during the design phase is increasing. Numerous studies have undertaken investigations for reducing environmental impacts across the product life cycle. Efforts have also been launched to quantify such impacts more accurately. Life cycle energy consumption and carbon footprint are...
