  • Phytoplankton of an ice-edge bloom in the Ross Sea, with special reference to the elemental composition of Antarctic diatoms

    Creator:
    Carbonell, Maria Consuelo
    Abstract:
    A phytoplankton bloom dominated by the pennate diatom Nitzschia curta (Van Heurck) Hasle was observed during January-February 1983 at a receding ice-edge in the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica. The core of the bloom was found between 100-150 Km from the ice-edge. Nitzschia curta cell densities up to 22 x 10⁶...

  • A Ross-Macdonald Model with Vector Demography

    Creator:
    Reyes Grimaldo, Ricardo Noe Gerardo
    Abstract:
    Malaria is a vector-borne disease that has affected humans and other animals for a long time and which has shown high prevalence among different populations. During the beginning of the 20th century, Sir Ronald Ross and George Macdonald developed a model that represents the spread of malaria through the interaction...

  • Size distribution of chemically extracted quartz used to characterize fine-grained sediments

    Creator:
    Dauphin, J. P. (Joseph Paul)
    Abstract:
    Quartz is an ubiquitous component of marine sediments. Textural characteristics of this component reflect the dynamics of its transport and at the same time are indicative of its source. Quartz may be extracted from marine sediments by means of a sodium pyrosulfate fusion and hydrofluosilicic acid dissolution without significantly modifying...

  • The relationship of temperature to pupal development rates of the western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran

    Creator:
    VanKirk, James Ross
    Abstract:
    Adult emergence studies conducted with Rhagoletis indifferens Curran reveal that diapause development in this insect is completed most rapidly at approximately 3°C. These results coupled with those reported by Brown (1978) confirm that chilling at 3°C. for ca. 200 days is best when high percent emergence, good synchrony of emergence,...

  • Bioenergetic evaluation of diel vertical migration by bull trout

    Creator:
    Eckmann, Madeleine
    Abstract:
    I evaluated hypotheses related to growth as a driver of depth use and diel vertical migration by bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in a thermally stratified reservoir. I applied a bioenergetic model to evaluate growth of bull trout in relation to potential patterns of diel depth use by bull trout in...

  • Ballistic rebounds for wrapping a target with a casting manipulator

    Creator:
    Hill, Lucas P.
    Abstract:
    Casting manipulation in robotics is the act of launching a tethered projectile and using it to interact with the environment. One such interaction is wrapping a target. In this work, we identify throwing and tether control parameters for successfully wrapping a target with an end-weighted cable, evolving through a set...

  • Investigations of gluten proteins from functional and historical perspective

    Creator:
    Zhang, Ying
    Abstract:
    Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the world’s major staple food crops, with flour produced from starchy endosperm being used for breads, cakes, noodles and various other wheat-based foods. The unique bread making properties of wheat are primarily attributed to its gluten-forming storage proteins: gliadins and glutenins. This study investigated...

  • Design and Development of a Salticid Inspired Jumping Robot

    Creator:
    Tachella, Ramsey
    Abstract:
    The ability to jump allows small robots to traverse rough terrain, clear large obstacles, and quickly reach elevated locations. These abilities have applications in a variety of areas such as, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and urban warfare. The primary focus in current state-of-the-art jumping robots has been on jumping...

  • Glutenin macropolymer in salted and alkaline noodles and its relation with dough properties and cooked noodle texture

    Creator:
    Ong, Yee-Ling
    Abstract:
    Glutenin protein molecules can form a large "macropolymer" which forms the elastic component of the gluten complex in wheat flour doughs. Little work has been done to investigate relationships between glutenin macropolymer (GMP) and noodle processing. GMP was isolated from flour of 4 wheat varieties; 3 hard- and 1 soft-grained...

  • Robotic Machining Fundamentals for Casting Defect Removal

    Creator:
    Biederman, Moriah
    Abstract:
    In the past half century, industrial robots have developed a strong presence in manufacturing. They now commonly perform tasks such as materials handling, assembly, welding, and painting. Unfortunately robotic machining tasks have seen limited deployments. The majority of machining robots are designed for soft materials like wood or plastic and...
