  • Effects of nickel addition In Cu-Zr-Hf-Al metallic glass matrix

    Creator:
    Miska, John
    Abstract:
    Metallic glasses (also referred to as amorphous metals) have been gaining interest in the materials science community in recent years. These amorphous materials demonstrate promising properties compared to their crystalline counterparts that include much higher strength and elastic strain limit, better corrosion and wear resistance, superior soft magnetism, and an...

  • Effect of Reaction Parameters on the Catalytic Oxidation of Poplar Lignin

    Creator:
    Lu, Lin
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...

  • The one-child policy and the empowerment of Chinese women

    Creator:
    Li, Yi
    Abstract:
    When people talk about the one-child policy in China, it always relates to topics like human rights violations or the population control dilemma. The one-child policy was published in the 1980s, around the same time as the Economic Reform, and these twin policies brought Chinese society tremendous changes. This paper...

  • Quantification of Lithium via Redox Titration and pH Titration – A Method Comparison

    Creator:
    Hebert, Joseph J.
    Abstract:
    Lithium serves an unparalleled role for high energy-density storage applications and is vital for the continued advancement of the world economy. However, global supply is heavily reliant on lithium deposits situated in select locations, creating unpredictability in the price and concerns for the sustained production of the resource. Additionally, future...

  • Evaluating TEG Energy Harvesting Capabilities Across Naturally Occurring Temperature Gradients

    Creator:
    Estenson, Alyssa H.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have gained much popularity in the search for alternatives to clean sources to harvest energy. Given their capability to harness an electric potential given a temperature differential across their opposing faces, and the foreseeable prevalence of naturally and/or commonly occurring temperature gradients in multiple applications, TEGs are...

  • Genotyping Cytochrome P450 1B1*3(Phase I) and Glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 null (Phase II), Metabolizing Enzymes in a [14C]Benzo[a]pyrene Human Micro Dosing Study

    Creator:
    Luo, Yun L.
    Abstract:
    Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been studied for their carcinogenic toxicity. PAHs are formed by incomplete carbon combustion. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is an IARC classified Class 1 Human carcinogenic PAH. New studies are conducted to gain a better understanding of PAHs and how to reduce exposure. Glutathione S-transferase M 1 (GSTM1...

  • Freshwater prokaryotic and eukaryotic diversity of the Oregon Willamette River basin

    Creator:
    Hoyle, Marilee C.
    Abstract:
    The wellbeing of the Willamette basin in Oregon depends on the river ecosystem’s microbial communities, which control primary production and the biological processing of nutrients, pollutants, and organic matter. Yet, only a few studies have investigated the diversity of the microbial communities of the Willamette basin. This paper examines how...

  • Characterization of a Transgenic Mouse for Human Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1)

    Creator:
    You, Hyekyoung Hannah
    Abstract:
    Cytochrome P450 1B1 (Cyp1B1) is a xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme, responsible for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) oxidative metabolism. CYP1B1 metabolically activates several species of environmentally relevant procarcinogenic PAHs to reactive carcinogens. PAHs are aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists, leading to CYP1B1 upregulation. Though CYP1B1 is highly conserved across species, wild type...

  • Surface Modifications for Greater Cycle Life and Energy Density in Lithium-Ion Batteries

    Creator:
    Holstun, Tucker M.
    Abstract:
    Significant challenges remain before lithium-ion batteries can support the decarbonization of the transportation and power sectors required to avert catastrophic climate change. The energy density of these batteries must be increased, while decreasing the price, and maintaining or increasing their lifespan. To improve the practical energy density of existing materials,...

    Fifield, Rory E.J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to isolate gabosines and other compounds through chemical screening of secondary metabolites of Streptomyces cellulosae subsp. griseorubiginoses strain S1096. Two different media were used to cultivate S. cellulosae. The first contained soybean and mannitol. The other contained oatmeal and trace element solution. After cultivation...
