Anaerobic digestion of lipid-extracted algal biomass has been proposed as a method to
recover and recycle nutrients in algal biofuel systems. The purpose of this study was to quantify recoverable nitrogen and phosphorus from anaerobically digested C. vulgaris. Recoverable nutrients were deemed those present in the liquid phase of anaerobic...

Five early to middle Tertiary bedrock geologic units crop out in the study area. These include the late Eocene to early Miocene Oswald West mudstones; the Tucker Creek sandstone, Big Creek sandstone, Silver Point mudstone, and Pipeline members of the
early to middle Miocene Astoria Formation; and the middle Miocene...

Large numbers of hatchery salmon spawn in wild populations each year. Hatchery
fish with multiple generations of hatchery ancestry often have heritably lower
reproductive success than wild fish and may reduce the fitness of an entire population.
Whether this reduced fitness also occurs for hatchery fish created with
local- and...

The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....

Large carnivores face serious threats and are experiencing massive declines in their populations
and geographic ranges around the world. We highlight how these threats have affected the
conservation status and ecological functioning of the 31 largest mammalian carnivores on
Earth. Consistent with theory, empirical studies increasingly show that large carnivores...

The counterflow pipeline concept was originated by Sproull and Sutherland to demonstrate
the concept of asynchronous circuits. This architecture relies on distributed decision
making and localized clocking and data movement. We have taken these ideas and reformulated
them into a substantially faster more scalable architecture that has the same distributed...

ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Michael F. Miller for the degree of Masters of Science in Electrical and
Summertime carbon, nitrogen, and biogenic silica export was examined using ²³⁴Th:²³⁸U disequilibria combined with free floating sediment traps and fine scale water column sampling with in situ pumps (ISP) within the Eastern Tropical North Pacific and the Gulf of California. Fine scale ISP sampling provides evidence that in this system,...
