Using a graphene field-effect transistor biosensor, we monitored the pH inside a living biofilm
with fast temporal resolution (~ 1 s) over multi-hour time periods. The atomically-thin sensor is
positioned between the biofilm and a supporting silicon oxide surface, providing non-invasive
access to conditions at the base of the biofilm....

We estimate fluid sources around a subducted seamount along the northern Hikurangi subduction
margin of New Zealand, using thermomechanical numerical modelling informed by
wedge structure and porosities from multichannel seismic data. Calculated fluid sources are
input into an independent fluid-flow model to explore the key controls on overpressure generation
to...

Engaging large numbers of undergraduates in authentic scientific discovery is desirable but difficult to achieve. We
have developed a general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a
research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics. The course...

This paper addresses how the implementation of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has affected the use of Information Technology (IT) in Mexico. In order to answer this question this thesis analyzes the direct and indirect effects of NAFTA on Mexico’s economic and regulatory environment, and how this influences the...

Cob, similar to adobe, is an earthen building material made of soil, sand, and straw. Although cob was used to build homes in England centuries ago, it has reemerged as a sustainable and relatively inexpensive, alternative building material. A possible solution for housing in impoverished nations, cob needs to be...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Katy R. Britsch for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in
Many declining and commercially important populations are supplemented with captive-born individuals that are intentionally released into the wild. These supplementation programs often create large numbers of offspring from relatively few breeding adults, which can have substantial population-level effects. We examined the genetic effects of supplementation on a wild population of...
