  • Numeric Benchmark Study of Plate Vibration Experiments in Air and Water

    Creator:
    Britsch, Karl R.
    Abstract:
    A set of experimental plates were characterized to understand their dynamic response in both air and water; in support of work performed at the Hydro-Mechanical Fuel Test Facility and the Global threat Reduction Initiative.

  • Effects of ocean acidification on growth rate, calcified tissue, and behavior of the juvenile ochre sea star, Pisaster ochraceus

    Creator:
    Britsch, Melissa L.
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenically-induced increases in the acidity of the ocean have the potential to seriously harm marine calcifying organisms by decreasing the availability of carbonate (CO32−) used to make shells. I tested the effects of lowered pH on juvenile Pisaster ochraceus, an intertidal sea star and keystone predator in the eastern Pacific...

    Britsch, Katherine and Britsch, Katherine R.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Evaluating the Toxicity of Organophosphate Flame Retardants in Zebrafish

    Creator:
    Britsch, Kimberly A.
    Abstract:
    Flame retardants are in many home products including couches, chairs, and electronics. The most commonly used flame retardants contained polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) until 2004, when the majority of these chemicals were phased out. PBDEs were found to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment. Organophosphate...
