  • Single-Cell Genomics of Uncultivated Marine Bacteria

    Creator:
    Landry, Zachary
    Abstract:
    Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...

  • Terahertz Imaging and Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Semiconductors using Plasmonic Devices

    Creator:
    Thompson, Zachary James
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a series of studies in the field of terahertz (THz) science are presented, specifically using nonlinear THz spectroscopy. We exploit huge field enhancement and subwavelength confinement in plasmonic structures. There are three distinct projects which will be discussed: nonlinear THz spectroscopy using plasmonic induced transparency (PIT), THz-triggered...

  • Accelerating Power-to-Gas Energy Storage Through PEM Electrolyzer Development and Technoeconomic Forecasting

    Creator:
    Taie, Zachary
    Abstract:
    There is strong interest in the energy community to develop technologies that can diffuse low-cost, renewably generated electricity into difficult and slow to decarbonize sectors. One of the emerging areas of interest is renewable natural gas (RNG). RNG has low or no associated net greenhouse gas emissions and can be...

  • The effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin on T cell activation

    Creator:
    Shepherd, David M.
    Abstract:
    The immune system has been identified as a very sensitive target for the toxic effects of 2,3,7,S-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Exposure to TCDD has been shown to disrupt the generation of both cell-mediated and humoral T cell-dependent immunity in laboratory animals; however, the mechanism remains unknown. In this dissertation, the hypothesis is...

  • The influence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation on T cell fate

    Creator:
    Funatake, Castle J.
    Abstract:
    2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds are well-recognized for their immunosuppressive activity, which is mediated through an intracellular receptor and transcription factor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Laboratory animals exposed to TCDD are less resistant to infection and have severely impaired humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. This dissertation addressed the hypothesis that...

  • Immunological and physiochemical characterization of fish myosins

    Creator:
    Reed, Zachary H.
    Abstract:
    Increased sales of surimi seafood, with the majority as crabstick in the United States indicates that surimi based products are becoming more popular. With growing popularity, there is increased competition for market share. Under these circumstances, some companies may be willing to sacrifice product quality in order to facilitate manufacture...

  • Some results in probability from the functional analytic viewpoint

    Creator:
    Gelbaum, Zachary A.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents some results from various areas of probability theory, the unifying theme being the use of functional analytic intuition and techniques. We first give a result regarding the existence of certain stochastic integral representations for Banach space valued Gaussian random variables. Next we give a spectral geometric construction...

  • Grazer-resource Behavior, Interactions, and Feedbacks Control Kelp-forest Dynamics and Stability

    Creator:
    Randell, Zachary H.
    Abstract:
    How the direct and indirect effects of species interactions cascade to affect community structure, functioning, and stability is a fundamental question in ecology. In temperate kelp forests, species interactions, in conjunction with environmental processes, produce rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Arguably the most dramatic of these are abrupt shifts in community state,...

  • Exchange interaction studies in magnetic semiconductors by neutron scattering

    Creator:
    Wiren, Zachary Quincy
    Abstract:
    Theories predict that making a dilute magnetic semiconductor strongly p -type would allow it to remain ferromagnetic at room temperature. This is of intrest as a ferromagnetic semiconductor would allow for a great many applications in the field of spintronics. Neutron scattering experiments were undertaken to better understand the antiferromagnetic...

  • The methodology, implementation, and analysis of the isotopic composition of soil respired CO₂ in forest ecological research

    Creator:
    Kayler, Zachary Eric
    Abstract:
    Soils are the largest terrestrial pool of carbon, therefore it is critical to understand what controls soil carbon efflux to the atmosphere in light of current climate uncertainty. The primary efflux of carbon from soil is soil respiration which is typically categorized into autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration. These two components...
