The eventual deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) on a commercial scale will necessitate the grouping of devices into arrays or "wave farms," in order to minimize overhead costs of mooring, maintenance, installation, and electrical cabling for shoreward power delivery. Closely spaced WECs will interact hydrodynamically through diffracted and radiated...
This presentation was given as part of Oregon State University's College of Oceanographic and Atmospheric Sciences graduate student seminar series. It is critical to understand waves dynamics in order to design wave energy convertors and then deploy them in arrays. Modelling suggests that array interactions lead to constructive and destructive...
Wave energy converter research continues to advance and new developers are continuing to emerge, leading to the need for a general modeling methodology. This work attempts to outline the design methodology necessary to perform frequency domain analysis on a generic wave energy converter. A two-body point absorber representing a generic...
Bacteria in the class Alphaproteobacteria have a wide variety of lifestyles and physiologies. They include pathogens
of humans and livestock, agriculturally valuable strains, and several highly abundant marine groups. The ancestor of
mitochondria also originated in this clade. Despite significant effort to investigate the phylogeny of the
Alphaproteobacteria with a...

Bacterioplankton of the SAR11 clade are the most abundant microorganisms in marine systems,
usually representing 25% or more of the total bacterial cells in seawater worldwide. SAR11 is divided
into subclades with distinct spatiotemporal distributions (ecotypes), some of which appear to be
specific to deep water. Here we examine the...

Multiple stressors are currently threatening honey bee health, including pests and pathogens. Among honey bee pathogens, Nosema ceranae is a microsporidian found parasitizing the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) relatively recently. Honey bee colonies are fed pollen or protein substitute during pollen dearth to boost colony growth and immunity against...
