Abstract:

Transportation accounts for a large proportion of global CO2 emissions, estimated at 22% of all anthropogenically produced CO2 in 2010, with most of this coming from the use of liquid transportation fuels. Second generation biofuels offer a sustainable opportunity to decarbonise this sector of global energy use. To realise the potential of second generation biofuels more efficient methods of deconstructing their lignocellulosic starting material must be developed. Understanding how the marine wood borer, Limnoria quadripunctata, is able to do this biochemically without the assistance of microb

Abstract:

A better understanding of wood degradation mechanisms used by Limnoria quadripunctata may lead to the development of more specific treatments to control biodeterioration that have fewer side effects than the traditional broad spectrum biocides. Thus, a clear understanding of digestion in wood boring animals is required. This knowledge of the digestive strategies used by L. quadripunctata could also be applied to the degradation of lignocellulose, and provide a novel source of enzymes which could be used to degrade this recalcitrant substrate. Cellulase activity of extracts of L. lignorum were

The highway, marine/inland waterway, railroad and utility systems composed the four markets representing the US infrastructure. A total of 2344 questionnaires were mailed nationwide.

Abstract:

Marine bioeroders, borers, and burrowers can have drastic effects to marine habitats and facilities. By physically altering the structure of marine habitats, these organisms may elicit ecosystem-level effects that cascade through the community. While borer damage is typically restricted to a few substratum types, burrowing isopods in the genus Sphaeroma attack a diversity of substrata in tropical and temperate systems. My dissertation examined how boring sphaeromatid isopods affect coastal habitats (saltmarshes, mangroves) and other estuarine substrata as well as marine structures. I used a co

Wood-boring species of the isopod family Limnoriidae cause damage to timber in the marine environment. Limnoria quadripunctata is a wood-borer with a widespread distribution in temperate waters. Key points of relevant literature are reviewed. Histological techniques, coupled with scanning electron microscopy, were used to examine the structure of the oesophagus, proventriculus and hindgut, which together comprise the alimentary canal. The midgut diverticula, which are believed to be the site of both secretion and absorption, were examined using the same techniques. The proventriculus of L. qua

High quality models of the whistle calls are needed in order to synthesize natural-sounding whistles with embedded information. Since the whistle calls are composed of frequency modulated harmonic tones, they are best modeled as a weighted superposition of harmonically related sinusoids. Previous research with bottlenose dolphin whistle calls has produced synthetic whistles that sound too clean for use in a covert communications system.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science and Engineering (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering; and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution), 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>Sorption is a key factor in determining the fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment. Here, PAH sorption is proposed as the sum of two mechanisms: absorption into a biogenic, organic carbon (OC) fraction and adsorption onto a combustion-derived, black carbon (BC) fraction. To study BC adsorption, a 375ʻC t

Recent expansions of molecular methods and the increasing diversity of available markers have allowed more complex and fine-scale questions to be asked at a variety of taxonomic levels. At the phylogenetic level, whole mitochondrial g

The majority of bacteriophage isolates (96%) are double-stranded DNA tailed phages (Caudovirales). These phages possess a distinctive icosehedral head, with a protein tail structure protruding from a single vertex. This organelle

Constraining factors that impact this productivity and elucidating selective pressures that drive the composition of marine microbial communities are thus essential aspects of marine biogeochemistry.
