  • Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: From Disposition on Consumer Products and Field Materials to Treatment of Contaminated Groundwater

    Creator:
    Robel, Alix E.
    Abstract:
    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are an emerging chemical class of concern. Recently in the United States, Health Advisory Limits for two PFAS in drinking water were established for perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate in drinking water (set to 70 ng/L combine concentration) by the EPA. Because of PFAS mobility, persistence,...

  • Coming of Age

    Creator:
    Eyerly, Kaylee R.
    Abstract:
    Coming of Age is a collection of ekphrastic poetry inspired by photographs taken throughout Oregon between 2012-2018. The collection traces the author's experience as she transitions from teenager to adult, struggles with change and loss, and studies to become a chemical engineer. Key Words: ekphrastic poetry, prose poetry, poetry, photography,...

  • In situ transformation of toluene and xylene to benzylsuccinic acid analogs in contaminated groundwater

    Creator:
    Reusser, Dominik E.
    Abstract:
    The rate of removal of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and the xylene isomers (BTEX) from contaminated groundwater is needed to design remediation processes. Benzylsuccinic acid (BSA) and methyl-benzylsuccinic acid (methyl BSA) are unambiguous metabolites of anaerobic BTEX biodegradation. An analytical method for quantitative determination of BSA in groundwater samples was developed....

  • Phytophthora ramorum within an Oregon tanoak forest : quantifying inoculum within canopy throughfall vs. soil splash

    Creator:
    Benemann, Silvia, E.
    Abstract:
    Phytophthora ramorum continues to cause extensive mortality of tanoaks in southwestern Oregon. Rain readily washes inoculum down through the canopy, causing new infections on the lower parts of the tree and neighboring host plants. Although this aspect of dispersal is well understood, the relative importance of infested soil and leaf...

  • Measuring in situ biotransformation in BTEX-contaminated groundwater

    Creator:
    Alumbaugh, Robert E.
    Abstract:
    Benzylsuccinate (BSA), methylbenzylsuccinate (methylBSA), and ethylbenzylsuccinate (ethylBSA) are unambiguous anaerobic biotransformation products from toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene decay, respectively, and may be used to indicate intrinsic bioremediation is occurring at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. In order to improve upon current methods that detect and quantify anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolites in field samples, solid-phase-extraction...

  • Atmospheric and Sea Ice Circulation Patterns During Lead Formation at Point Barrow

    Creator:
    Jewell, MacKenzie E.
    Abstract:
    In winter and spring, ice-coast interactions driven by winds and ocean currents cause sea ice fractures (leads) to form repeatedly along Arctic coastlines. These events are often associated with rapid and expansive changes in sea ice drift and state that are challenging to predict and represent in models. We investigate...

  • Evaluation of Fusarium proliferatum Mycotoxin Profiles in Infected Garlic Cloves

    Creator:
    Rossi, Francesca
    Abstract:
    Fusarium proliferatum is a fungus found in soils which produces the mycotoxin group known as fumonisins. Of human concern due to hepato-, nephro- and neurotoxicity, the threat of fumonisins lies within several food items, including corn, wheat sorghum, asparagus and, more recently, garlic. Manifesting as ““garlic rot”,” F. proliferatum infection...

  • The COVID-19 pandemic and food insecurity among college students

    Creator:
    Moore, McKenzie
    Abstract:
    Food insecurity is a common issue among college students in the United States with recent research suggesting that between 10-75% of college students are food insecure. In comparison, an estimated 10.2% of U.S. Households are food insecure. Food insecurity is associated with many negative health outcomes. The purpose of this...
