This research introduces an energy storage system to deliver microgrid frequency response. A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and a squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM) are coupled together as a motor/generator set to deliver an immediate inertial response to a change of frequency, and an inverter and supercapacitors deliver short term...
Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) bacteria are capable of providing low-cost nitrogen removal for numerous types of wastewaters. However, low growth rates cause long startup-times and inhibition by oxygen and metabolic substrates necessitate close process control to maintain performance. Incorporation of Simultaneous Anammox and Denitrification (SAD) into constructed wetlands could provide...
The thesis area is located southwest of Portland, Oregon, in the
Western Cascades. In the area are volcaniclastic rocks and lava flows
that range in composition from basaltic andesite to dacite. The dominant
volcaniclastic rock type is thin intracanyon ash-flow tuff. The
dominant lava flows are a thick sequence of...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
RichardF. Dyhrman for the degree
The objectives of this study were to evaluate environmental
factors influencing use of several plant communities by cattle, elk
and deer; determine under story production by plant species and the
amount utilized by cattle, elk and deer in certain plant communities;
evaluate the interactions of range use between cattle, elk...
Three studies were conducted to evaluate the relationship between
insulin and nutritional parameters in rainbow trout. In the first study
effects on growth parameters and tissue composition of rainbow trout were
investigated following injection of bovine insulin at two dose levels
every 48 hr for 56 days. In addition, [¹⁴C]-leucine...

Interception of precipitation by forest canopies has been found previously to reduce rainfall intensity, but this effect is poorly understood. The goal of this research is to quantify the attenuation of rainfall intensity by forest canopy interception, with the specific objective of estimating the contribution of this attenuation to hillslope...
