  • Monotonic and Cyclic Testing of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragms

    Creator:
    Beairsto, Cody J.
    Abstract:
    Mass timber is emerging as a viable form of construction around the world in new markets for wood buildings. The entrance into these markets has driven the demand for more knowledge to enable designs alongside other structural materials such as steel and reinforced concrete. Large, in-plane tests on cross-laminated timber...

  • Boosting Intracellular Delivery of mRNA Therapeutics

    Creator:
    Patel, Siddharth D.
    Abstract:
    Intracellular delivery of mRNA holds great potential for vaccine and therapeutic discovery and development. This is realized by the preeminent role mRNA is playing in the record-breaking pace of SARS-CoV-19 vaccine development. Recent advances in chemical modifications of mRNA have enabled high-efficiency gene expression with superior spatiotemporal control while eliminating...

  • Beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) in decline? An investigation into Region 6 harvest volumes

    Creator:
    Pape, Brianda
    Abstract:
    Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have an extensive history of harvest in the United States. The Pacific Northwest is well-reputed as a major source of floral greens for international markets. One NTFP in particular, beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax), has been repeatedly identified as a prominent, high-value species in the floral greens industry...
