Few studies have examined the partitioning of organic matter in upwelling systems,
despite the fact that these systems play a key role in carbon and nitrogen budgets in the
ocean. We examined the production and partitioning of phytoplankton-derived organic
matter in deck incubations off Oregon during the upwelling season. During...
Monitoring the sources and fate of freshwater in the
East Greenland Current (EGC) is important, as this water
has the potential to suppress deep convection in the Nordic
and Labrador Seas if the outflow of freshwater from the
Arctic Ocean increases in response to climate change. Here,
hydrographic, oxygen isotope...
This thesis traces the relationship between the First World War, constructions of masculinity, and the life and poetry of T.S. Eliot. Central to this relationship is a study of homoeroticism, which the author characterizes as different from homosexuality but not exclusive of it, in late 19th and early 20th century...
During his lifetime C. S. Lewis chose to speak to Christians in plain and simple language that they could understand. Lewis taught and defended truths that he felt were discernible through reason. Morality, free will, and the divinity of Jesus Christ were fundamental to his core beliefs and teachings. His...
The phenomenon of phantom limb pain has been well documented for centuries, but little clinical work has been done to alleviate it. Physician and neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran began researching this condition nearly two decades ago, and has discovered a promising alternative treatment: mirror-box therapy. This therapy is not yet...
Within The Lamplighter, a novel written in 1854, Maria
Susanna Cummins defines a version of the sentimental novel
that significantly differs from the prescriptive analysis
male critics have offered for the genre. This thesis
argues that feminist theory and recent rhetorical theory
have caused a critical paradigm shift that has...
The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is home to large breeding colonies of the ice-dependent Antarctic Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae). Although the entire inner continental shelf is highly productive, with abundant phytoplankton and krill populations, penguin colonies are distributed heterogeneously along the WAP (Ducklow et al., 2013, in this issue). This ecological...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an integrated adapted
physical education setting on the motor performance of preschool children with
developmental delays. Subjects in this study participated in segregated and integrated
adapted physical education classes. During the integrated conditions, same-age peers
without delays participated in...
The purpose of this study was to validate a field
test of cardiorespiratory fitness for men with mental
retardation. The subjects were 19 healthy men with
moderate mental retardation whose mean age was 26 years
with a mean IQ of 48. Each subject underwent a
maximal treadmill test utilizing a...
