  • Challenges to stakeholder participation in coastal resource management : Allen, Northern Samar, Philippines

    Creator:
    Ulrich, Donald R.
    Abstract:
    Collaborative management of subsistence fisheries in the Philippines requires policies that devolve authority to the local level. This involves creating mechanisms to hold managers accountable for creating opportunities for active participation by fisher folk communities. The Philippines has created a comprehensive national framework for the co-management of coastal resources at...

  • The Effect of Affect: A Close Reading of LeBron James’ Athlete Activism

    Creator:
    Campista, Joshua, I.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to argue that LeBron James’ expressions of activism are, in many ways, perceived as insincere, hypocritical or disingenuous to his followers on the social media platform Twitter. Using the theoretical framework of Affect Theory and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, a close reading was conducted...

  • Combined Effects of Intensive Forest Management and Microclimate on Reproduction in a Cavity-Nesting Songbird

    Creator:
    Jones, Kristin N.
    Abstract:
    Future scenarios of global climate change rely on large-scale climate envelope models that do not account for local climatic conditions to which organisms most closely respond. Shifts in species distributions and phenology driven by climate change are well-documented, yet we lack a strong understanding of how climate change will influence...

  • Mitigating cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms : the role of plant humics

    Creator:
    Theis, Susan A. F.
    Abstract:
    Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....

  • Existence of Eta-Quotients for Squarefree Levels and Modular Type Supercongruences for Hypergeometric Functions

    Creator:
    Allen, Michael
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we consider two problems in number theory, both relating to modular forms. First we consider when a given modular form can be expressed as a quotient in Dedekind's $\eta$ function. Rouse and Webb \cite{RW} have determined the integers $N \leq 500$ such that the graded ring of...

  • Biology of sweet cherry powdery mildew

    Creator:
    Calabro, Jill M.
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Northwest has become one of the nation’s premier sweet cherry, Prunus avium, production areas. As production of sweet cherries has flourished in Oregon and Washington, so has powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Podosphaera clandestina, which infects both foliage and fruit causing severe economic damage to growers. Sweet...

  • Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

    Creator:
    Cervantes, Brandy T.
    Abstract:
    The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...

  • Carp, Climate, and Water Quality: Applying Systems Modeling to Ecosystem Recovery in Malheur Lake

    Creator:
    Pearson, James B.
    Abstract:
    Shallow lakes exist in either a clear or turbid state, with the clear state characterized by an abundance of aquatic macrophytes, diverse aquatic biota, low water column nutrients and phytoplankton biomass, whereas the turbid state is characterized by the opposite. These two distinct states are maintained by reinforcing (positive) feedback...

  • Truth to Nature: The Art and Ecology of Hudson River School Painting

    Creator:
    Loeb, Harper
    Abstract:
    Beginning with the inception of American art history as a formal discipline in the 1940s, the dominant mode of interpreting nineteenth-century American landscape painting has been to view aspects of the landscape as symbols for grand cultural, religious, national, and moral narratives. While this method of interpretation highlights some key...
