# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Electrocatalysts are incorporated into a plethora of technologies and material systems such as catalytic converters, reforming systems, multilayer ceramic capacitors, and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In SOFCs, nickel is commonly the catalyst of choice due to its chemical stability, high catalytic activity, and lower cost. While traditional SOFCs have a bulk mixture of nickel and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with at least 33 vol% nickel, solution infiltrated anode SOFCs have several benefits including lower nickel vol% to satisfy percolation, better mechanical strength and CTE matching that can improve redox cycling. Coarsening of the fine nickel metal catalyst with microstructures below 1 micrometer have shown a strong propensity to coarsen from thermal migration at temperatures above 700°C. This migration induced degradation by decreasing particle surface area and nickel network connectivity for electrical conduction. Utilizing metastable oxide additives as a minor dopant in the anode cermet system, novel methods of anchoring the metal phase to porous YSZ ceramic scaffolds have been identified as a means to engineer infiltrated anodes for improved performance. Less than 10 wt% aluminum titanate (ALT-Al 2TiO 5), added to YSZ by mechanical mixing, has shown a stepwise process in the formation of NiAl 2O 4 at 1100°C and ZrTiO 4 at 1205°C for chemically binding the nickel phase to YSZ. XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDS characterization coupled with FIB sample preparation has been utilized to identify the size, morphology, composition and temperature at which the anchoring phases form. Area specific resistance tests of component anodes indicate a decrease in degradation of at least 521%/1000 hr compared to infiltrated specimens without the ALT additive. Electrochemical tests of electrolyte supported cells (ESC) show higher initial performance of cells doped with ALT and at least a 1400%/1000 hr reduction in performance degradation at the same nickel loading content.

Community-based participatory research in Indian country: Improving health through water quality research and awareness

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Water has always been held in high respect by the Apsaalooke (Crow) people of Montana. Tribal members questioned the health of the rivers and well water because of visible water quality deterioration and potential connections to illnesses in the community. Community members initiated collaboration among local organizations, the tribe, and academic partners, resulting in genuine community-based participatory research. The article shares what we have learned as tribal members and researchers about working together to examine surface and groundwater contaminants, assess routes of exposure, and use our data to bring about improved health of our people and our waters.

Autonomous metabolomics for rapid metabolite identification in global profiling

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
An autonomous metabolomic workflow combining mass spectrometry analysis with tandem mass spectrometry data acquisition was designed to allow for simultaneous data processing and metabolite characterization. Although previously tandem mass spectrometry data have been generated on the fly, the experiments described herein combine this technology with the bioinformatic resources of XCMS and METLIN. As a result of this unique integration, we can analyze large profiling datasets and simultaneously obtain structural identifications. Validation of the workflow on bacterial samples allowed the profiling on the order of a thousand metabolite features with simultaneous tandem mass spectra data acquisition. The tandem mass spectrometry data acquisition enabled automatic search and matching against the METLIN tandem mass spectrometry database, shortening the current workflow from days to hours. Overall, the autonomous approach to untargeted metabolomics provides an efficient means of metabolomic profiling, and will ultimately allow the more rapid integration of comparative analyses, metabolite identification, and data analysis at a systems biology level.

The effects of abusive sibling conflict on self esteem

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the acceptance and use of violence in the family environment, violent conflict between siblings, and self esteem. Acceptance and use of violence in the family environment was measured with the Family Violence Scale developed by Panos D. Bardis. The use of violent sibling conflict between siblings was assessed using the Conflict Tactics Scale developed by Murray Straus. Self esteem was measured using the Self Esteem Inventory which was developed by Stanley Coopersmith. Participant in the study were 150 college students at Montana State University. Volunteers were between 18 and 20 years of age with at least one sibling. Results indicated a significant relationship between the acceptance and use of violence in the home and violent conflict between siblings. A significant relationship was also found between violent sibling conflict and lower self esteem. In looking at male and female respondent separately it was found that violent sibling conflict was
negatively related to the self esteem of male respondents and positively related to the self esteem of female respondents. Implications of this study were relevant for parents and professionals who work with families and/or
children with problems stemming from low self esteem. The findings are also relevant to the prevention of child abuse.

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
In recent years, National Forest policy rules and plans have repeatedly mentioned the need for agencies to engage in collaborative management to meet forest management objectives. Previous research on the theory of collaborative management supports this emphasis and shows that collaboration is necessary and effective in addressing ecological challenges, even more so when the public is involved. This study examines the Bozeman, Montana's College M trail and the surrounding area in the Custer Gallatin National Forest. This is a high-use and multijurisdictional area, that provides an exemplary case study for grounding theories of collaborative management in real-world applications. Through semi-structured interviews with 16 people involved in the management of the College M area, this research sought to understand how land managers currently engage with each other and with the public to make decisions about the area. My results revealed the nuances of the challenges and opportunities of collaborative management for the College M area. Moreover, my research shows the practical relevance of collaborative management while providing recommendations for continued collaborative management successes in the College M area and similar settings.

Application of MicroLab Resources in Rural Kenya Water Quality Testing

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Presently, there is little recurrent water testing performed on boreholes in the Khwisero sub-district of Western Kenya. A lack of financial resources and the rural nature of the area hinders local testing capabilities. Many of the boreholes are the sole sources of clean water for communities, yet their chemical safety cannot be continually ensured. Colorimetric determination may be a solution to water analysis in non-traditional lab settings. The MicroLab analytical device could be a rugged spectrophotometer option to perform this testing. This presentation proposes a method to perform colorimetric field testing and compares collected results with available historical data. Metrics were taken for seven wells that were constructed at primary schools throughout the Khwisero sub-district. Field measurements of nutrients, metals, turbidity were taken using the MicroLab device and software. Furthermore, an additional field review of the MicroLab device identifies some of the device challenges and overall obstacles with rural water testing.

A fiber sensor array for sub-surface CO 2 concentrations measurements was developed for monitoring geologic carbon sequestration sites. The fiber sensor array uses a temperature-tunable distributed feedback (DFB) laser outputting a nominal wavelength of 2.004 microns. Light from this DFB laser is directed to one of the four probes via an in-line 1x4 fiber optic switch. Each of the probes is placed underground and utilizes filters that allow only soil gas to enter the probe. Light from the DFB laser interacts with CO 2 within the probe before being directed back through the switch. The DFB laser is tuned across two CO 2 absorption features where a transmission measurement is made, allowing the CO 2 concentration to be retrieved. This process is repeated for each probe, allowing CO 2 concentration measurements to be made as a function of time for each probe. The fiber sensor array was deployed for fifty-eight days at the Zero Emission Research Technology (ZERT) field site and for a twenty-eight day period at the Kevin Dome geologic carbon sequestration site. Background measurements indicate the instrument can monitor background levels as low as 1,000 parts per million (ppm). During a thirty-four day sub-surface CO 2 release, elevated CO 2 concentrations were readily detected by each of the four probes with values ranging to over 60,000 ppm.

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
We live in a society that fears, denies, and attempts to conquer death. This dominant cultural attitude towards death is detrimental to everyone involved in the dying process. There is a collective of people comprised of doctors, therapists, parents, spouses, nurses, and children who believe in the human capacity to die well. This group of individuals has a vision for transforming how we die in our country. At the center of that vision is an effort to effectively communicate to the general public that there is a crisis surrounding end-of-life experiences. Moreover, this group of individuals discovered that the most effective way to communicate this message to the public is to share stories of those who have died in a manner that both informs and educates the public. Documentary films focused on death and dying stories that both inform and engage the viewer have the ability to greatly sway social constructs surrounding death and dying. Thus, the documentary, if done well, can be a powerful tool for helping people cope with the process of dying. By examining three death and dying documentaries, and isolating the techniques used by filmmakers to inform and engage the audience, I provide recommendations for making an effective death and dying documentary.

As centralized electricity generation and transmission issues continue to complicate electricity demand, interest in distributed generation solutions is increasing. Solid oxide fuel cells are high temperature and efficiency electrochemical devices that can operate on natural gas as well as hydrogen. When in combined cycle operation with a microturbine, the system has the ability to utilize the unused fuel from the solid oxide fuel cell and waste heat to increase the electrical energy, overall efficiency, and feasibility of market penetration of the system. The waste heat can also be repurposed outside the system, known as combined heat and power, for heating residential water supplies. This thesis presents the modeling, efficiency evaluation and power management of a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell/microturbine system in combined cycle operation with combined heat and power functionality for residential applications in islanded and grid-connected modes. The response of the system to load changes is also examined. The dynamic models of the solid oxide fuel cell and microturbine are integrated using power electronic interfacing and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. Simulation results demonstrate an efficiency increase of the system in combined cycle operation and the dynamic behavior of the system in stand-alone operation under different load conditions.

Viscoelastic properties of a mixed culture biofilm from rheometer creep analysis

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The mechanical properties of mixed culture biofilms were determined by creep analysis using an AR1000 rotating disk rheometer. The biofilms were grown directly on the rheometer disks which were rotated in a chemostat for 12 d. The resulting biofilms were heterogeneous and ranged from 35 microns to 50 microns in thickness. The creep curves were all viscoelastic in nature. The close agreement between stress and strain ratio of a sample tested at 0.1 and 0.5 Pa suggested that the biofilms were tested in the linear viscoelastic range and supported the use of linear viscoelastic theory in the development of a constitutive law. The experimental data was fit to a 4-element Burger spring and dashpot model. The shear modulus (G) ranged from 0.2 to 24 Pa and the viscous coefficient (eta) from 10 to 3000 Pa. These values were in the same range as those previously estimated from fluid shear deformation of biofilms in flow cells. A viscoelastic biofilm model will help to predict shear related biofilm phenomena such as elevated pressure drop, detachment, and the flow of biofilms over solid surfaces.

Vampire power, energy consumed by devices in low-power or standby modes, accounts for 22% of an average home’s power consumption, according to a 2008 California Energy Commission study. By providing a convenient and largely autonomous system for monitoring and controlling power consumption, the Smart Power Strip aims to minimize or eliminate the average household’s annual $100 spent on powering devices in standby, low-power, or “instant-on” modes while using minimal power itself. Features such as per-device scheduling, power usage data, and remote access through a WebUI provide the user with straightforward tools for convenient power monitoring and regulation.

Seasonal Variations in Bacterial Colonization of Stainless Steel, Aluminum and Polycarbonate Surfaces in a Seawater Flow System

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Before the construction of an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) power plant, an experimental station was built near the entrance of the Bay of Brest (France) in order to perform preliminary studies. Bacterial colonisation of three substrata (stainless steel UB6, aluminium AG4 and polycarbonate filters) was observed in a continuous flow seawater system. The study was performed between May 1983 and May 1984 and included seven experiments of 15 days each.

The early events in bacterial colonisation of these materials may be affected by both water quality and type of substratum. If these two parameters influence the adsorption step of the biological process (0 to 1 h), seasonal variation in water quality seems to be more important during the accumulation step (1 h to 6 days), because of its effect on bacterial metabolism.

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Noninvasive compression-induced anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL-R) is an easy and reproducible model for studying post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in mice. However, equipment typically used for ACL-R is expensive, immobile, and not available to all researchers. In this study, we compared PTOA progression in mice injured with a low-cost custom ACL-rupture device (CARD) to mice injured with a standard system (ElectroForce 3200). We quantified anterior–posterior (AP) joint laxity immediately following injury, epiphyseal trabecular bone microstructure, and osteophyte volume at 2 and 6 weeks post injury using micro-computed tomography, and osteoarthritis progression and synovitis at 2 and 6 weeks post injury using whole-joint histology. We observed no significant differences in outcomes in mice injured with the CARD system compared to mice injured with the Electroforce (ELF) system. However, AP joint laxity data and week 2 micro-CT and histology outcomes suggested that injuries may have been slightly more severe and PTOA progressed slightly faster in mice injured with the CARD system compared to the ELF system. Altogether, these data confirm that ACL-R can be successfully and reproducibly performed with the CARD system and that osteoarthritis (OA) progression is mostly comparable to that of mice injured with the ELF system, though potentially slightly faster. The CARD system is low cost and portable, and we are making the plans and instructions freely available to all interested investigators in the hopes that they will find this system useful for their studies of OA in mice.
