Management Strategies and Ethical Considerations for Controlling Phytophthora ramorum (sudden oak death): Application to Southern Humboldt County

Creator:: McClung, H. Rose
Abstract:: Humboldt Redwoods State Park in southern Humboldt County, California is a coastal redwood forest, a highly unique and valued ecosystem. It has many social, cultural, ecological, and economic values, including recreational benefits, heritage and aesthetic values, high biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and climate regulation. However, Humboldt County is at risk of...

Characterization of the Mechanisms of Action and Molecular Targets of Hop-derived Flavonoids in the Mitigation of Obesity-related Metabolic Impairments

Creator:: Paraiso, Ines L.
Abstract:: Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease resulting from excessive energy intake compared to energy expenditure. The excess energy is mostly stored as fat in enlarged adipocytes, but some lipids may infiltrate other organs such as the liver to form ectopic fat. Adipose tissue and ectopic fat produce and secrete a...

Honored values and valued objects : the Society for Creative Anachronism

Creator:: Turner, Althea L.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I posited the need to understand how an invented community (the Society for Creative Anachronism) constructs symbolic meaning in material objects and value systems. Using ethnographic methods, I focused on the Knights and their regalia as this is the most widely accepted material symbolism. People go to...

Predators associated with hemlock woolly adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) infested western hemlock in the Pacific Northwest.

Creator:: Kohler, Glenn R.
Abstract:: The hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, is causing widespread mortality of eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis, in the eastern United States. In the West, A. tsugae causes negligible damage to western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla. Host tolerance traits and presence of endemic predators may be contributing to the relative tolerance of western...

Mass spectrometry techniques to assess the metabolism and toxicity of pharmaceutical and dietary nitrates

Creator:: Axton, Elizabeth R.
Abstract:: Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule that regulates blood pressure and vascular tone. Humans produce NO by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which is impaired in patients with cardiovascular disease leading to increased blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, and an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Maintaining optimal levels of...

Effects of 12 months of voluntary alcohol self-administration on intracortical bone remodeling in a rhesus macaque model

Creator:: Gaddini, Gino W.
Abstract:: Background: Alcohol is a nonessential nutrient widely consumed throughout the world. Chronic alcohol abuse is associated with numerous adverse skeletal effects. However, prior to this study, the effects of alcohol abuse on intracortical bone remodeling in an animal model had not been investigated. Reduced intracortical bone remodeling could impair repair...

The Public, The Forest, and The Conflict: A Case Study of Wendell State Forest

Creator:: McKeown, Christina K.
Abstract:: Forest management is an important mechanism that provides social, ecological, and economic benefits to the community. On public lands, management is often initiated for multi-use objectives. However, both history and research have proven that the level of acceptance for harvesting on public lands varies both temporally and spatially. Public perceptions...

Potential for Using Boron Compounds with Differing Water Solubilities in Pastes for Remedial Treatment of Utility Poles

Creator:: Uysal, Selim
Abstract:: Boron and boron compounds have been long used for pressure treatment, dip-diffusion, and remedial treatments of wood because of their proven efficacy against fungi and insects. These materials are especially attractive because their high water solubility promotes deeper penetration into wood. Other useful properties of boron include its neutral pH,...

Ballistic rebounds for wrapping a target with a casting manipulator

Creator:: Hill, Lucas P.
Abstract:: Casting manipulation in robotics is the act of launching a tethered projectile and using it to interact with the environment. One such interaction is wrapping a target. In this work, we identify throwing and tether control parameters for successfully wrapping a target with an end-weighted cable, evolving through a set...

Robotic Machining Fundamentals for Casting Defect Removal

Creator:: Biederman, Moriah
Abstract:: In the past half century, industrial robots have developed a strong presence in manufacturing. They now commonly perform tasks such as materials handling, assembly, welding, and painting. Unfortunately robotic machining tasks have seen limited deployments. The majority of machining robots are designed for soft materials like wood or plastic and...
