  • Performance and flow stability characteristics in two-phase confined impinging jets

    Creator:
    Sabo, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Advances in electronics fabrication, coupled with the demand for increased computing power, have driven the demand for innovative cooling solutions to dissipate waste heat generated by these devices. To meet future demands, research and development has focused on robust and stable two-phase heat transfer devices. A confined impinging jet is...

  • Effects of chlorinated biologically stabilized kraft mill effluent on the mortality and growth of Coho salmon

    Creator:
    Steil, Deborah L.
    Abstract:
    Ninety-six hour acute toxicity bioassays were employed to determine the tolerance of juvenile coho salmon to chlorinated stabilized kraft mill effluent (SKME). In addition the effect of chlorinated SKME on the growth of juvenile coho salmon in six and ten day experiments was studied. Results of the acute toxicity tests...

  • Influence of atmospheric humidity and free water on germination and germ tube growth of Botrytis cinerea Pers.

    Creator:
    Carre, Deborah Danielle
    Abstract:
    The influence of atmospheric humidity and free water on germination and germ tube growth of Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr. was studied. Relative humidities (RH) were maintained inside insulated humidity chambers with sulfuric acid solutions of the appropriate concentrations. Insulation was necessary to reduce the incidence of condensation caused by...

  • Growth, survival, and antibiotic resistance transfer of Klebsiella in a botanical environment

    Creator:
    Yamamoto, Deborah Keiko
    Abstract:
    The ubiquitous presence of the coliform bacterium Klebsiella in botanical environments has been demonstrated. In this study, Klebsiella were found to multiply and colonize growing radish plants following contamination of seeds. All 29 cultures of Klebsiella tested from 5 different environments were capable of growth to 10⁶-10⁷ cells/gram of plant...

  • Microscale thermal management utilizing vapor extraction from a fractal-like branching heat sink

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    It is hypothesized that increases in pressure drop due to vapor generation during boiling in microchannels can be reduced by extraction of vapor at its point of inception. Ultimately, this local vapor extraction decreases the pressure drop required to drive the flow through a fractal-like branching, microchannel flow network within...

  • The inheritance of parthenocarpy in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)

    Creator:
    Kean, Deborah
    Abstract:
    A parthenocarpic breeding line, Oregon T5, from Oregon State University, was crossed with several commercial cultivars. Progenies were studied for 2 years as both direct-seeded plants and transplants in the field at Corvallis, Oregon to determine the inheritance of parthenocarpy in Oregon T5. Both quantitative and qualitative measurements of parthenocarpy...

  • Photoperiodic effects on serum glucocorticoids and fur growth in mink

    Creator:
    Weiss, Deborah Ellen
    Abstract:
    The relationship of glucocorticoid secretion to light-induced, early-winter priming of pelage in ranch mink was investigated. Sixteen Standard Dark, mature, female mink were exposed to natural light conditions of 45° North latitude beginning on December 13, 1977. A 2x4 cm area of the right hip of each animal was sheared...

  • Occupational exposure characterization of vacuum pump maintenance technicians in a semiconductor manufacturing environment

    Creator:
    Buser, Deborah Elaine
    Abstract:
    In the semiconductor industry, numerous potential occupational exposures exist as a result of the diversity of chemical and physical hazards unique to integrated circuit manufacturing. The hazards associated with maintenance tasks are challenging because the sporadic nature of the tasks make exposure monitoring difficult. In particular, vacuum pump maintenance is...

    Creator:
    Upington, Deborah A.
    Abstract:
    This study sought to fill a void in research literature supporting Attention Restoration Theory (ART) and the beneficial effects of exposure to natural, green spaces. The literature predominantly discusses studies with adult and older child participants, finding that exposure to natural environments often produces an attention-restoring effect. ART has been...
