This thesis explores the behavior and distribution of key redox sensitive elements—Fe and Mn under spatially varied suboxic conditions along eastern boundary upwelling regions as compared to that of the non-redox sensitive, bioactive trace metal - Cu. The response of these metal…

This Dissertation focuses on the topic of the emergence of social complexity during the Chalcolithic by investigating archaeological evidence related to the earliest production and use of copper in the southern Levant. One key question concerns the particular economic, social an…
This dissertation examines the interaction between the central Ottoman administration and locally powerful provincial political forces, and the outcome of this interaction on the manufacturers in the textile and copper sector in the urban center of Tokat in central northeastern …
The understanding of the cyclic deformation processes and their interaction with the kinetics of stage-I crack growth under stress control is rudimentary in copper single crystals. This understanding is necessary to conceive a method for summing damage under variable amplitude l…
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is responsible for a variety of diseases in domestic animals and humans. The infection of mice causes similar disease progression to human typhoid fever, thus representing a model for this systemic disease. The ability of S. Typhimurium to…
The following thesis explores the physiological effects on European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and shore crabs (Carcinus maenas) resulting from the dissolution of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) into seawater: known as ocean acidification. It assesses how ocean acidifica…
This thesis examines the use of electrochemically treated viscose rayon based activated carbon cloth (ACC) for the removal of metal ions from aqueous effluent streams. Two types of treatment were performed: (i) electrochemical oxidation and (ii) electrochemical reduction to enha…
The Sungun porphyry copper deposit is associated with an Andean-type, calc-alkaline diorite/granodiorite to monzonite/quartz-monzonite stock of Miocene age which intruded Eocene volcanosedimentary and Cretaceous carbonate rocks. The intrusive phases are related by fractional cry…
Multi-carrier digital subscriber line (DSL) systems, such as asymmetric DSL (ADSL) and very high data rate DSL (VDSL), are typically constrained by crosstalk interference. Recent advances in suppression of in-domain far-end crosstalk (self-FEXT) have allowed these systems to ach…
Open graded friction course (OGFC) has been under use over the past decades by the highway agencies as the road surfacing material. The friction course reduces splash/spray, noise, and water accumulation, and provides better visibility and traction. In addition, OGFC has the abi…
The Cochise porphyry copper deposit, owned by Freeport-McMoRan, is located outside of Bisbee, Arizona, immediately northeast of the historic Lavender pit. This supergene deposit is one of the few known unmined chalcocite blankets in North America and thus is a valuable natural g…
Naples, Florida is built around the subtropical Naples Bay estuary. Crassostrea virginica oyster reefs once thrived in Naples Bay but have declined 80% from historical levels due to a combination of dredging, shoreline hardening, altered hydrology, and water quality impairment. …
Isle Royale, located in Lake Superior, was one center of the nation’s first copper rush. High quality copper veins drew mid-19th century miners looking to stake a claim. By themid-1850s these initial attempts at lode mining failed as the remote location and logistical hurdles ma…
