  • Homology theory of submersions

    Creator:
    Sekino, Junpei
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation we construct a homology theory on the category of submersions which generalizes the homology of the base space with coefficients in the homology of the fiber as given by the E²-terms of the Serre spectral sequence of a fiber bundle. The main motivation for this new homology...

  • Factors affecting the activation of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase by actin

    Creator:
    Kuo, Huey-ju
    Abstract:
    The consistent application of phosphatase inhibitors and a novel final purification step using a connected series of DE-51, DE-52, and DE-53 anion exchange chromatography columns facilitate the preparation of electrophoretically homogeneous sub-pupulations of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase which differ in their catalytic properties and endogenous covalent phosphate contents. A band of...

  • Measurements of turbulent velocities and an examination of their effects on mixing and suspension of particulate matter

    Creator:
    Wasowski, Stanley Francis
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted in which a three component drag probe was used to measure the three directional components of turbulent velocity. While velocity measurements were being made, water samples were taken and analyzed for salinity and suspended particulate matter. Three dimensional energy spectra were computed from the velocity records...

  • Analysis of a hydrologic balance model and Penman-Monteith evapotranspiration estimating methods

    Creator:
    Carrijo, Osmar Alves
    Abstract:
    The major objectives of this study were an evaluation of the Meteorological Office Rainfall and Evaporation Calculation System (MORECS) evapotranspiration (ET) model using the Penman-Monteith equation and comparison of the MORECS and measured surface resistance. Meteorological, soil and plant parameters were measured in an alfalfa field over two growing seasons....

  • Investigations of Black Leg and Light Leaf Spot on Brassicaceae Hosts in Oregon

    Creator:
    Claassen, Briana J.
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Northwest is an internationally important region for the production of Brassica seed and other seed crops including grass seed. Oregon lawmakers mandated research into the co-existence of canola (Brassica napus) with other Brassica production in the Willamette Valley and House Bill 2427 was signed into law in 2013,...

  • The Effect of Process Improvement Practices on Kuwaiti Manufacturing Companies

    Creator:
    Khajah, Abdullah Saheb
    Abstract:
    Awareness and implementation of process improvement strategies, like Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, and Lean Management have increased since the 1980s. In more recent history, lean management thinking has shown its significance in the manufacturing world. Kuwait, being a country in which its whole dependence is on revenues of oil...

  • High-Field Terahertz Spectroscopy of Nanoscale Materials

    Creator:
    Mousavian, Ali
    Abstract:
    This dissertation covers my work relating to the application of strong terahertz (THz) radiation to study the nonlinear properties of nano-scale material. It presents experimental and numerical studies on the optical and electronic properties of various material system including single-layer graphene, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), nanoantenna-patterned gallium arsenide (GaAs) and...

  • Time-Dependent Crack Growth Mechanisms in Alloy 617 at 800°C in Air

    Creator:
    Addison, Dylan, A.
    Abstract:
    Time-dependent crack growth mechanisms in Alloy 617 at 800°C in air were studied using compact tension samples machined in the L-T direction, cracked at temperature using an induction furnace and servo-hydraulic load frame. The application of different loading waveforms, including triangular, hold time, and sustained loading, were studied with relation...

  • Simulations of geckos dry adhesion system

    Creator:
    Hu, Congcong
    Abstract:
    Simulation models were developed to explore the reversible nature of gecko dry adhesion system. The central idea of this model is that even with a small moment imparted on the contact tip, the seta can be easily ad-adhered. It is shown that this contact condition is very sensitive, but can...
