Dissociation between catabolism and anabolism, generically termed “metabolic uncoupling”, has been studied for aerobic cultures of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Under conditions promoting metabolic uncoupling, the cell yield diminishes while the substrate utilization rate remains largely unchanged. The effects of excess substrate conditions and TCS addition on the metabolism of pyruvate...
Streptococcus gordonii is a bacterial species that naturally colonizes the oral cavity of most healthy humans. It resides in the mouth as an adherent to dental surfaces and, with few exceptions, does not cause disease in individuals it inhabits. It possesses qualities that encourage its use as a vector to...
Every year in the late summer, patches of the Columbia River estuary begin to turn red. These patches are blooms of mixotrophic ciliates (Myrionecta rubra or Mesodinium rubrum/major) (MR) that ingest the chloroplast of their prey, the cryptophytes (CR) Teleaulax amphioxeia (Peterson et al., 2013), and use the acquired organs...
Protected area creation, including creation of marine reserves (MRs), is increasingly molded by ecosystem based management (EBM) that integrates biological and social information in the pre and post establishment phases. Collecting social data from large and representative samples of the public (as opposed to other stakeholder groups) before establishing a...
The so-called powder-post injury to seasoned wood has attracted
much attention in America, and especially in Europe for centuries,
and has been the subject of published articles in many languages.
This peculiar injury seems to be on the increase in the United States
and numerous requests from a number of...
This report is a summary of my internship experience during
the summer of 1984. From June, 1984 through September, 1984, I
worked as a Graduate Intern II for the Alaska Department of Commerce
and Economic Development (ADCED) in Juneau, Alaska. Specifically,
I was associated with the Office of Commercial Fisheries...
Chitosan has been proposed as a "natural" coagulating agent to solve wastewater problems. The main hindrance in this commercial chitosan application has been its low cost effectiveness. The hypothesis in our research is that chitosan complexes with natural polyanions is more effective than chitosan alone, particularly in recovering low concentration...
Magnetotellurics is used in two geologic settings on scales ranging from 1000-km tectonic structures to local features hundreds of meters wide. These areas are the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) and its related mantle plume in the northern Midwestern United States and Newberry Volcano in central Oregon.
The MRS study uses...
These documents resulted from a summer 2013 internship for a OSU Systems Engineering student. Mr. Applegate was charged with documenting the existing seawater system at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and recommending efficiency upgrades. He produced a written report with various appendices containing system documentation and recommendations and a map....
