The Effects of Biofilm on Sandy Soil Hydrology

Creator:: Runion, Danielle N.
Abstract:: It is known that soil biota affects water dynamics through various complex mechanisms. The impact on retention by soil biota are due to a combination of changes to pore geometry, pore clogging by biofilms, biofilms that serve to connect thin water films across many pores as the soil dries, and...

Impacts of dwarf mistletoe on the physiology of host Tsuga heterophylla trees as recorded in tree ring C and O stable isotopes

Creator:: Marias, Danielle E.
Abstract:: Dwarf mistletoes, obligate, parasitic plants with diminutive aerial shoots, have long-term effects on host tree water relations, hydraulic architecture, and photosynthetic gas exchange and can eventually lead to tree death. To investigate the long-term impacts of dwarf mistletoe on gas exchange of host western hemlock trees, I compared growth, gas...

Flow processes in the dry regime : the effect on capillary barrier performance

Creator:: Jansik, Danielle P.
Abstract:: Engineered capillary barriers typically consist of two layers of granular materials designed so that the contrast in sediment hydrologic properties and sloping interface retains infiltrating water in the upper layer. We report here on the results of two bench-top capillary barrier experiments, and associated modeling. These experiments were conducted to...

Maria Susanna Cummins' "The Lamplighter" : a revisioning of a sentimental writer of the nineteenth-century United States as rhetor, social critic, and feminist

Creator:: Steinert, Laura
Abstract:: Within The Lamplighter, a novel written in 1854, Maria Susanna Cummins defines a version of the sentimental novel that significantly differs from the prescriptive analysis male critics have offered for the genre. This thesis argues that feminist theory and recent rhetorical theory have caused a critical paradigm shift that has...

Plot-Scale Field Investigation : Characterizing Water Motion in Sandy Agricultural Soils

Creator:: Nolasco, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Irrigated agricultural production in sandy soils presents several unique challenges to growers, including naturally high permeability, low native water retention, as well as high rates of water drainage losses and leaching of chemicals to the shallow aquifers. This study is an initial investigation into water motion in the sandy agricultural...

Migration of E. coli and solutes to tile drains via preferential and matrix flow

Creator:: Moreno, Daniel
Abstract:: The extent of agricultural drainage has created concern for its potential undesirable effects on surface water quality. Land applications of liquid manure on tile drain fields have the potential to transport solutes and bacteria to the drains following precipitation or irrigation events and many times are directly sent to a...

Sliding Mode Control of Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters

Creator:: Brown, Danielle R.
Abstract:: This thesis concerns the development of a direct torque control strategy using a sliding mode control approach to optimize the power output of an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC). The OWC WEC is a device that has a submerged vertical tail tube open at both ends, which...

Molecular and rheological characterization of sodium hyaluronate (HA) and equine synovial fluid

Creator:: Leiske, Danielle Lurisa
Abstract:: Sodium hyaluronate (HA) is a polysaccharide found in all parts of the body Although it performs important functions in the eye, the coagulation process and other parts of the body, its contribution to synovial fluid is particularly important. As the major component of synovial fluid, HA is responsible for the...

Critical incident response on a small college campus

Creator:: Marlette, Danielle M.
Abstract:: Campus administrators are partially responsible for how a campus responds to a critical incident and how the students and outside community are impacted. It is important for administrators responding to critical incidents to take an objective look at their plans and preparations to determine if they will truly be effective...

Developing a Drought Metric with Water Managers

Creator:: Moruzzi, Danielle L.
Abstract:: Though numerous drought metrics have been developed by the research community, adoption of these metrics by water managers has been limited. The reasons for this vary, but some include mismatches in time scales and spatial scales between the metric supplied and the operational decisions (e.g. water managers often work within...
