Crop rotation effects on the seed bank and population dynamics of annual bluegrass (Poa annua)

Creator:: Sardar, Farid M.
Abstract:: Field studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of crop rotation on annual bluegrass plant population dynamics, seed rain, and seed bank in 1996 and 1997 at two sites. Growth-chamber studies were conducted to determine the influence of the mother plant environment on annual bluegrass germination. The change in population,...

Evaluation of cathodic protection in reinforced concrete bridges

Creator:: Abooameri, Farid
Abstract:: Steel corrosion in reinforced concrete is a major concern to transportation agencies nationwide because of the expenses incurred for repair and ultimate shortening of bridge life. Cathodic protection (CP), as a remedy, has been applied to reinforced bridges in the US since 1974. However, application of this technique is largely...

Effect of dietary fat and cholesterol on plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity in man

Creator:: Farid, Sheedvash Amirkia
Abstract:: Effect of diets varying in amount of cholesterol and polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio (P/S) on plasma lipid levels and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity was determined in fourteen young adult male subjects during a 13-week experimental period in a crossover design. Control diet was fed for two weeks prior...

Evaluation of system-level performance of closed thermochemical energy storage systems for space heating

Creator:: Rivera, Kate E.
Abstract:: This study evaluates the system efficiency and energy-offsetting capabilities of a closed-cycle thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system. Current TCES research primarily focuses on material selection and reactor design but overlooks the practical limitations faced on a system level. Thus, this study investigates various TCES integration methods for providing building space...

Genetic Characterization and Bioclimatic Modeling of the Three Varieties of Leptographium wageneri (Cause of Black Stain Root Disease) in the Western USA

Creator:: Choi, Daram
Abstract:: Black stain root disease (BSRD) is a vascular wilt disease of conifers caused by three varieties of the native, insect-vectored fungal pathogen, Leptographium wageneri (L. wageneri var. wageneri, L. wageneri var. ponderosum, and L. wageneri var. pseudotsugae). Although morphological, physiological, and ecological characteristics differ among the three varieties of L....

A Monte Carlo analysis of principal components and ridge regression with application to a fisheries evaluation model

Creator:: Sass, M. E. (Mary Ellen)
Abstract:: Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...

Effects of quinolinate and nitro-, or thio- substituted analogs of quinolinate on glutamate receptor-mediated neurotoxicity in cerebellar granule cell cultures

Creator:: Zhang, Jinying
Abstract:: Quinolinate (QUIN) is an endogenous neurotoxic product of the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. Quinolinate is a selective agonist of the NMDA family of glutamate receptors and, as such, may play a role in the pathology of a number of major central nervous system (CNS) disorders. These include both chronic...

Stimulated jet break-up for production of uniform size microgel beads from cross linked sodium alginate solutions

Creator:: Gill, Hardeepak (Happy) Singh
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis was to develop a process of producing small monodisperse alginate gel beads. The phenomenon of controlled jet break-up of alginate solution jet with assisted vibration was used to form uniform sodium alginate droplets which were subsequently crosslinked with divalent calcium ion to form gel beads....

A Broader Overview and Investigation into Seafood Traceability Developments and the Current Landscape for the US West Coast Seafood Industry

Creator:: Ahlers, Brian L.
Abstract:: Seafood is one of the most diverse and highly traded natural resources worldwide. Widespread evidence of increased seafood fraud and IUU fishing has placed enormous pressure on industry and governments to determine the authenticity, safety, and sustainability of seafood. The recently established US National Ocean Council has addressed several gaps...
