An investigation of the light capture properties of the XEPHWICH, a phoswich radiation detection system

Creator:: Jones, Sean E.
Abstract:: The XEPHWICH system is a phoswich type (multiple scintillator) radiation detector designed to detect several radioxenon isotopes with the goal of identifying covert nuclear explosions. The XEPHWICH system is designed with the sole purpose of replacing the Automated Radio-xenon Sampler/Analyzer (ARSA) in the United Nation's (UN) Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty's...

Important Considerations for Food Process Validations : Strain Selection, Contamination Level, and Relevant Treatment Conditions

Creator:: Pearson, Eva
Abstract:: Reports of foodborne outbreaks have increased in the last decade, posing a public health risk to consumers. In an attempt to mitigate this risk, the newly established Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA) takes a preventive rather than reactive approach to food safety. Under FSMA, producers are required to validate...

An evaluation of a water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) program for rural communities in northern Afghanistan

Creator:: Costello, Denise H.
Abstract:: The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector of international development works to increase access to sustainable, safe water and improved sanitation. Currently, at least 780 million people live without clean drinking water and 2.5 billion without access to improved sanitation (UNICEF & World Health Organization, 2012). Lack of access to...

Little houses on the prairie : a predictive model of French-Canadian settlement in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Kinoshita, Jun R.
Abstract:: Using GIS, this study creates a predictive model of a distinct population of French-Canadian settlers, highlighting shared environmental characteristics of known sites that may have factored into their decision-making process as they chose locations for their farmsteads. While traditional historic and archaeological research has been conducted on French Prairie, the...
