Decoding DOM Degradation with Metatranscriptomics : How Do Sunlight and Microbial Communities Interact to Degrade Dissolved Organic Matter in Arctic Freshwaters?

Creator:: Nalven, Sarah G.
Abstract:: Arctic soils are warming, making vast stores of organic carbon available for conversion to CO₂. This could create a positive feedback loop and accelerate global warming, but the processes that convert this carbon into CO₂ are not well understood. We investigated how the combined activities of sunlight and microbes degrade...

The identification of variables discriminating between groups differing in level of self-actualization through the use of multiple discriminant analysis

Creator:: Wills, Byron Steiner
Abstract:: The study was conducted to identify variables, from among the theory related and demographic/biographic variables included in the study, which were able to discriminate between groups of male and groups of female freshmen who differed in their level of self-actualization. Five hundred and forty freshmen (277 males and 263 females)...

Forest-meadow dynamics in the central western Oregon Cascades : topographic, biotic,and environmental change effects

Creator:: Rice, Janine M.
Abstract:: Montane meadows comprise a small area of the predominantly forested landscape of the Oregon Cascade Range. Tree encroachment in the last century in these areas has threatened a loss of biodiversity and habitat. Climate change in the coming century may accelerate tree encroachment into meadows, and exacerbate biodiversity loss. Multiple...

The effects of CI tools and implementation practices on hospital performance

Creator:: Holliday, John W.
Abstract:: Continuous Improvement (CI) is an integral part of hospital administration. This study examined the relationship between five CI variables against six hospital criterion measures of, wait times to prepare a room, patient costs per day, waiting time for lab results, reportable errors, patient satisfaction, and employee satisfaction. The research was...

Central place foraging and the winter village: a settlement pattern analysis in the lower Salmon River Canyon in Idaho

Creator:: Carlisle, Kendra
Abstract:: Hunter-gatherers depend on naturally occurring resources and, in order to survive, must overcome resource procurement challenges inherent in their environment. One challenge relates to the temporal and spatial availability of resources, which hunter-gatherers address, in part, through the strategic use of space to position themselves for optimal access to necessary...

Development of a method to measure protein in red wines : a survey of protein, mannan and tannin in Pinot noir wines

Creator:: Smith, Mark R.
Abstract:: A number of methods to isolate and quantify protein in Pinot noir wines were evaluated. The combination of precipitation by acetone containing 10% w/v trichloroacetic acid followed by quantification with the Bradford assay, reported in yeast invertase equivalents yielded the most accurate results when compared to micro-Kjeldahl analysis. The technique...

Interactions between stocked trout and larval salamanders (Ambystoma macrodactylum) in high-elevation lakes

Creator:: Tyler, Torrey J.
Abstract:: The long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) is the top vertebrate predator in fishless high-elevation lakes in North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA), Washington. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of physico-chemical factors and introduced trout on abundance and behavior of A. macrodactylum larvae. Although high-elevation lakes...
