We are constantly updating our research in the growing field of Environmental Health, yet we do not always translate this information in a way which is understood by the general public. This has resulted in tools which gauge the public’s understanding of health information, such as the eHEALS tool. This...
Collaboration is crucial when advancing in scientific research. One person cannot
study all aspects of a system. That is why it is important for the scientific community to
communicate with each other and stay updated on research being conducted in other labs
around the world. In my research, I was...

Recent studies in men have shown plasma levels of vitamin B-6
and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B-6, to
increase with exercise. It was hypothesized that muscle glycogen
phosphorylase might be the source of these increases as this enzyme
has been shown to increase with increasing vitamin...
This dissertation explores mathematical theory of the 3 dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations that consists a set of partial differential equations which govern the motion of Newtonian fluids and can be seen as Newton's second law of motion for fluids. The main interest of this work focuses on how local perturbation...
The Pacific Arctic is undergoing rapid biogeochemical changes in response to warming air temperatures caused by climate forcing. This is manifesting as changes in seasonal sea ice thickness and sea ice extent, as well as changes in primary production within surface waters. The data and samples analyzed here were collected...
Patterns of primary productivity in the Arctic are expected to change with continued warming, yet productivity measurements are historically limited, both spatially and temporally. An established method of measuring net biological oxygen production, which can be used to estimate net community production (NCP) rates, is with an equilibrated inlet mass...
This thesis is on the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in R3 which govern the velocity of incompressible fluid with viscosity ν. The solution is obtained in the space of tempered distributions on R3 given an initial condition and forcing data which are dominated by...
An analysis was conducted to determine the effects of nonlinearity in
the one dimensional Navier-Stokes equation describing a viscous fluid flow.
An attempt was made to numerically determine the effect of temperature
variance on the fluid, either by varying the constant viscosity factor in the
energy dissipative term in the...
The CARS apparatus at OSU was modified to permit studies in the 0-500 cm⁻¹ spectral region. The new low frequency capabilities were then used to study molecular clusters formed in free expansion jets of carbon dioxide. A strong cluster band was observed at 73 cm⁻¹, with a weaker shoulder at...
The development and applications of a 0.2 cm⁻¹ resolution
Nd-YAG laser powered coherent anti-Stokes Raman
spectroscopy, CARS, spectrometer for gas phase studies is
chronicled in this thesis. Applications including CARS
lineshape analysis, resonant CARS, and CARS of transient
species and excited state molecules is reported.
The intensity of the signal...
