Bioindication Of Atmospheric Heavy Metal Deposition In The Blue Ridge Using The Moss Thuidium Delcatulum, Johathan Scott Schilling

Theses & Honors Papers

Heavy metals in the environment pose a risk to human health as well as to ecosystem health. These metals are released into the atmosphere as a result of industrial processes, and can be transported away from their sources to be deposited into the environment. Ectohydric mosses are known accumulators of atmospheric heavy metals, and their tissue can be used to quantify integrated deposition of these metals over time in the ecosystem.

In this study, the moss Thuidium delicatulum (Hedw.) was used to quantify lead (Pb), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni) concentrations in the central Blue Ridge of Virginia …

Investment Casting With Ice Patterns Made By Rapid Freeze Prototyping, Wei Zhang, Ming-Chuan Leu, Chao Feng, Rong Ren, Renjie Zhang, Qingping Lu, Jubu Jiang, Yongnian Yan

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

One of the most promising applications of rapid freeze prototyping (RFP) is making metal parts by investment casting with the built ice parts. The integration of RFP and investment casting allows fast creation of complex net-shape metal parts directly from their CAD models. The advantages of doing so include no part geometric complexity limitation, no experience of parting line design and assembling needed, clean and low-cost of process operation, and good performance. In this paper, we will present our recent study on binder selection, slurry making, ceramic shell making, and the casting results of the metal parts.

Measurement Of The Proton Structure Function F2 At Very Low Q2 At Hera, J. Breitweg, S. Chekanov, M. Derrick, D. Krakauer, S. Magill, A. Pellegrino, J. Repond, R. Stanek, R. Yoshida, Margarita C. K.

A measurement of the proton structure function F2(x, Q2) is presented in the kinematic range 0.045 GeV2 < Q2 < 0.65 GeV2 and 6 · 10-7 < x < 1 · 10-3. The results were obtained using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.9pb-1 in e+ p reactions recorded with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Information from a silicon-strip tracking detector, installed in front of the small electromagnetic calorimeter used to measure the energy of the final-state positron at small scattering angles, together with an enhanced simulation of the hadronic final state, has permitted the extension of the kinematic range beyond that of previous measurements. The uncertainties in F2 are typically less than 4%. At the low Q2 values of the present measurement, the rise of F2 at low x is slower than observed in HERA data at higher Q2 and can be described by Regge theory with a constant logarithmic slope δlnF2/δln(1/x). The dependence of F2 on Q2 is stronger than at higher Q2 values, approaching, at the lowest Q2 values of this measurement, a region where F2 becomes nearly proportional to Q2.

O'Brien, Jadine Oral History Interview, Greg Beam

Edmund S. Muskie Oral History Collection

Jadine (Raynes) O’Brien was born August 1931 in Whitman, Massachusetts. Her father, John Raynes, was in the chicken business. Her mother, Eunice Raynes, worked in a dress shop. Jadine worked in the same dress shop and put herself through school at Westbrook College in Maine. She was inspired by John Kennedy to get involved with politics and particularly, the Democratic Party, which she did with her husband Jack O’Brien. After college, she worked for Peter N. Kyros, Sr., then got involved in Portland city government and directed the Model Cities Program. Later, she ran for Congress against Peter Kyros in …

Pathogen-Inducible Regulatory Element, Joseph Chappell, Catherine A. G. Cornett, Shauhui Yui

Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Patents

Qualitative transcriptional regulatory sequences functional in plants, plant tissue and in plant cells for inducible gene expression and quantitative transcriptional regulatory sequences for increasing the transcriptional expression of downstream genetic information in plants, plant tissue and plant cells are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods and recombinant DNA molecules for improving the disease resistance of transgenic plants, especially wherein an inducible promoter controls the expression of a protein capable of evoking the hypersensitive response in a plant.

Deer Management At Airports: A Case Study, J. Harris Glass

Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada Joint Annual Meeting: 2nd (2000)

Deer living on and around airports pose a threat to aircraft. The consequence of a deer-aircraft strike can be serious and potentially tragic. Nationally, cervids (deer) accounted for 67% of all reported mammal-aircraft strikes and have caused damage in 81% of deer strikes in the United States (Cleary et al. 1999). Due to the potential for damage, the Federal Aviation Administration and USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS) program recommend a zero-tolerance of deer on an airfield. Deer densities at Newport News / Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) were as high as 171.5 deer/mi² at the onset of the Wildlife Hazard Assessment conducted …

Utility Of Tdwr And Asr-9 Data To Mitigate Bird Strikes At Commercial Airports, Mark A. Isaminger, Mark E. Weber

Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada Joint Annual Meeting: 2nd (2000)

Conflicts between birds and commercial aircraft are a noteworthy problem at both large and small airports. The risk factor for U.S. airports continues to increase due to the steady rise in take-off/landings and bird populations. The focus of bird strike mitigation in the past has centered primarily on Wildlife Management techniques. Recently, an Avian Hazard Advisory System (AHAS) has been developed to reduce the risks of bird strikes to military operations. This system uses a mosaic of data collected by the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD). This sensor serves as an excellent tool for enroute bird advisories due to the …

Summary Of Bird Ingestions Into Aircraft Engines: Current Industry Activity And Bird Strike Reporting, Richard Parker

Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada Joint Annual Meeting: 2nd (2000)

This presentation will show some of the bird strikes and/or trends to engines in the past few years. The presentation will emphasize the safety aspects associated with aircraft engine bird ingestions and show the current statistics as understood by the engine manufacturers. The presentation will also address industry activity related to the hazard of larger birds. There will also be comments relative to the importance of accurate and complete bird strike reporting now that many agencies are reporting and collecting data.

An Evaluation Of Techniques For The Control Of Birds On Landfills Near Airports, John Allan, Andy Baxter

Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada Joint Annual Meeting: 2nd (2000)

This paper reports progress on an investigation of a variety of bird deterrent techniques on landfill sites. The objective of the study is to develop and test integrated bird management strategies for use on landfills, both close to airports and elsewhere. The first phase of the study is designed to evaluate individual techniques such as distress calls, pyrotechnics, falcons etc. to determine efficacy, time to habituation and differences in effectiveness for different pest bird species. Once the most promising techniques are identified they will be combined into integrated programs and tested long term on a various landfill sites across the …

Analysis Of The Use Of Radio-Controlled Models In Bird Dispersal, Nicholas B. Carter

Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada Joint Annual Meeting: 2nd (2000)

Border Collie Rescue (BCR), in cooperation with the Dover Air Force Base, conducted a series of field trials to test the efficacy of utilizing radio-controlled models (“RCs”) (aircraft and boats) in dispersing several species of birds from troublesome locations around the Dover AFB environment. Results of these trials suggest that RCs can be used to effectively harass seagulls, raptors, ducks, and geese from difficult areas, though there are a number of limitations that must be taken into account when determining the value of instituting a harassment program utilizing RCs. Though use of Border Collies in its wildlife management program had …
