Performance of a thermally activated cooling system and design of a microchannel heat recovery unit

Creator:: Seward, Ryan
Abstract:: The performance of a combined vapor-compression cycle/ORC is evaluated using waste-heat from a diesel generator. A flat plate microchannel heat exchanger is employed to provide energy exchange between the diesel exhaust stream and an oil loop, which provides energy to a boiler. This study finds an increased diesel duty corresponds...

The effect of motivational orientation on academic achievement and persistence of rural community college students: A test of a motivational model from a self-determination theory perspective

Creator:: Hoppe, Stephanie E.
Abstract:: Understanding the relationship between motivation, academic achievement, and persistence may help higher education administrators develop plans for increasing student engagement and student success. Prior research on higher education indicated connections between motivation, academic achievement, and persistence, but there has been limited research that relates these concepts to the rural community...

Lichen Studies of Tropical Dry Forest: A Systematic and Ecological Approach

Creator:: Miranda-González, Ricardo
Abstract:: In recent years, our ecological knowledge of tropical dry forests has increased dramatically. However, whole components of the ecosystem, like lichenized fungi, remain mostly unknown. Crustose lichens in these forests are so abundant, that they are responsible for the characteristic appearance of a “white bark forest” during the dry season....

Effects of diet and crude oil ingestion on growth and biochemistry of captive-reared pigeon guillemots (Cepphus columba)

Creator:: Hovey, Andrew K.
Abstract:: The pigeon guillemot (Cepphus columba) population in Prince William Sound has failed to recover from declines that occurred both before and after the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS). Post-spill studies of pigeon guillemot breeding biology have identified three potential factors limiting recovery: (1) predation on eggs and nestlings; (2) declines...
