Symbiotic relationships between cnidarians and dinoflagellates within the genus
Symbiodinium are critically important for the success of coral reefs. These symbionts
provide their hosts with photosynthetically-fixed carbon in exchange for nutrients
and shelter. Symbiodinium is a phylogenetically diverse genus that is often typed by
sequencing the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer...

We have developed a compact micro total analysis system (μTAS) to serve as a platform for in-situ spectrophotometric water quality monitoring. Individual fluidic, optical, and electrical components were designed, developed, and characterized. These components were combined in both an integrated (single lithographic “chip-based” platform) and a modular manner. The microfluidic...
The production of hydrogen has been one of the most heavily studied, energy related fields over the past half century, yet few methods are commercially or economically viable and none are currently sustainable. Of those aiming at the sustainable production of hydrogen using renewable resources, perhaps the most widely studied...
Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive
slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is
largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with
Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with
Picea mariana. In this study, I...
The oldest sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks exposed
in the Himalayan foothills of Pakistan record a gradual transition
seaward from the evaporites of the Salt Range Formation to pelitic
sediments deposited in deeper water to the north. The Upper
Proterozoic Tanawal Formation was derived from erosion of a
northern highland produced...
William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...
Sulfur content in fuel is an increasingly important environmental concern. A
commonly used method for the removal of sulfur bearing species from fuel is
through hydrodesulphurization. However, due to the implementation of Ultra-Low
Diesel Sulfur (ULDS), deeper desulphurization techniques must be explored. In this
study, a single phase oxidative desulphurization...
The objectives for the use of the Oregon State
University college forest include providing both facilities
for research and teaching, and providing funding through
timber harvest. The older age-classes of the forest are
valuable for attaining both objectives. The opportunities
and costs of removing acreage in the older age classes...
