Title: EFFECT OF CADMIUM AND SEASONALITY ON CRITICAL TEMPERATURES OF AEROBIC METABOLISM IN EASTERN OYSTERS, Crassostrea virginica Gmelin 1791
Author: Bagwe, Rita
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Biology
Description: Cadmium (Cd) and elevated temperatures are common stressors in estuarine and coastal environments affecting intertidal mollusks such as oysters. Cd and elevated temperature can raise the metabolic demands of oysters due to the increase cost of det...

Title: Exploring exciton and trap state recombination dynamics in cadmium sulfide quantum dots
Author: Woodall, Danielle
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience, Chemistry, Physical and theoretical
Description: Colloidal semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) are ideal candidates for optoelectronic devices such as solar cells and LEDs because of their high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields and photostability. In order to improve device efficiencies, we mu...

Title: Exploring the photophysics and photocatalytic properties of platinum and palladium nanoparticles
Author: Major, Kevin

Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience, Chemistry, Chemistry, Physical and theoretical
Description: Platinum and Palladium nanoparticles are important nanoscale materials for a variety of materials science and industrial applications. The presented research covers a broad spectrum of these unique nanoparticles, from their synthesis and character...

Title: Recovery of macroinvertebrate communities following flood disturbance in urban restored streams, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Author: Henderson, Sara
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Ecology, Human ecology--Study and teaching, Environmental management
Description: Flooding is an important disturbance structuring stream communities. Understanding macroinvertebrate post flood dynamics is critical for informing key ecosystem processes such as food web dynamics and organic matter processing in these systems. Wh...
