Mechanisms of Aluminum Tolerance in Triticum aestivum L. (Wheat). I. Differential pH Induced by Winter Cultivars in Nutrient Solutions.
Download1985
Twenty winter cultivars of Triticum aestivom L. (wheat) were grown in solution culture with and without aluminum (A1) (74 gM, 2.0 mg L-') for 14 days. Exposure to s increased root growth of the most tolerant cultivar, while both root and shoot growth were depressed in all other cultivars. On the...

Transcriptome and Proteome Based Survey to Identify Aluminum-Responsive Genes in Roots of Arabidopsis Thaliana
DownloadSpring 2010
Aluminum (Al)stress is a major limitation to crop productivity on acidic soils. To help understand the cellular mechanisms underlying the toxicity and resistance of plants to Al, this thesis involved a large-scale, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of roots of Arabidopsis thaliana and reports...

Fall 2015
The present research has been done with the intent of evaluating the corrosion resistance and cracking susceptibility of some commercial candidate alloys that can be potentially used in Gen-IV supercritical water reactor (SCWR). The mechanism of the crack initiation in austenitic alloys exposed...

Fall 2022
The application of dissolvable materials is becoming widely used in hydraulic fracturing, especially in low permeability reservoirs. To date, most of the DAs are based on Al alloys (AAs) or Mg alloys, which offer desirable dissolvability, yet limited mechanical properties. This work aims to...

Design and Implementation of Chipless RFID-Based Monitoring Sensor System for Coated Metallic Structures' Integrity
DownloadFall 2020
This thesis work presents structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques for coated-metallic structures based on Chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The structures of interest for this study include pipelines for crude oil transportation and storage tanks (or terminals). The...

Spring 2013
As the Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) shows a promising future, the corrosion behavior of candidate materials has attracted great interest. In this study, experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the corrosion behavior of the ferritic-martensitic steels designed for the use...

The aluminum-in-olivine thermometer for mantle peridotites — Experimental versus empirical calibration and potential applications
Download2017-02-01
E. Jackson, Simon E., Bussweiler, Yannick, Hardman, Matthew, Stern, Richard A., Brey, Gerhard Peter, Kjarsgaard, B.A., Pearson, Graham, Stachel, Thomas
This study provides an experimental calibration of the empirical Al-in-olivine thermometer for mantle peridotites proposed by De Hoog et al. (2010). We report Al concentrations measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) in olivines produced in the original high-pressure, high-temperature,...

Thermophysical Properties Measurement of Liquid Al and Al-Cu by the Discharge Crucible Method
DownloadFall 2020
The demand to develop Materials Genomics and Integrated Materials Computation requires the availability of high temperature property data of liquid metals. High temperature metallurgical processes, such as refining, casting, welding and additive manufacturing, can be optimized and operate more...

Fall 2019
An evaluation of the resistance of two different X70 pipeline steels to hydrogen-induced cracking in severe (pH 2.7 and 1 atm H2S) and intermediate (pH 5.5 and 1 atm H2S) sour service conditions was undertaken. The two steels used in this work, X70-X and X70-B, were selected based on their...
