  • Swimbladder morphology and buoyancy of Northeastern Pacific myctophids

    Creator:
    Butler, John Lawton
    Abstract:
    Of the common adult lanternfishes found off Oregon, two species have fat-invested swimbladders (Stenobrachius leucopsarus Eigenmann and Eigenmann 1890 and Stenobrachius nannochir Gilbert 1891), two species have reduced swimbladders (Lampanyctus ritteri Gilbert 1915 and Lampanyctus galis Gilbert 1891), two species have gas-filled swimbladders ((Protomyctophum thomp soni (Chapman 1944)) and (Protomyctophum...

  • Microbial community dynamics associated with rhizosphere carbon flow

    Creator:
    Butler, Jessica L.
    Abstract:
    The cycling of root-deposited photo synthate (rhizodeposition) through the soil microbial biomass is widely recognized as a critical component of ecosystem functioning. Little is currently known about the flow of photosynthate through the microbial biomass however. My research goal was to examine if and how the flow of root-deposited photo...

    Webster, Janet G. and Butler, Barbara
    Abstract:
    As IAMSLIC members will recall, in 1990 Stephanie Haas questioned ASFA’s supremacy in marine science libraries and found “potential pitfalls” if relying on a single database to adequately discover the relevant literature (Haas 1990). We still question the best way to access the literature in our multidisciplinary field. Patrons and...

  • John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

    Creator:
    Lester, Jacob Franklin
    Abstract:
    Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

  • Estimation of discriminant analysis error rate for high dimensional data

    Creator:
    Lebow, Patricia K.
    Abstract:
    Methodologies for data reduction, modeling, and classification of grouped response curves are explored. In particular, the thesis focuses on the analysis of a collection of highly correlated, highly dimensional response-curve data of spectral reflectance curves of wood surface features. In the analysis, questions about the application of cross-validation estimation of...

  • Behavior of estimates of the mean life of a radioactive source

    Creator:
    Butler, Stephen Walter
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the results of sampling experiments investigating the properties of estimates of the mean life of a radioactive source in the presence of a constant unknown background. An iterative estimation procedure is used where the estimates are maximum liklihood estimates with asymptotic variances. The estimation procedure was programmed...

  • Penman-Monteith surface resistance for hybrid poplar trees

    Creator:
    Butler, Dana Anthony
    Abstract:
    The application of the widely used Penrnan-Monteith evapotranspiration equation to hybrid poplar trees is impossible without a valid surface resistance. The increase in applications of drip-irrigated hybrid poplar trees for wood chip stock and veneer production, as well as bioremediation, constitutes a need for estimating the evapotranspiration of these trees....
