Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

Creator:: Wallace, Zachary P.
Abstract:: Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

Design and Testing of a Tethered, Coaxial Rotor Micro Air Vehicle

Creator:: Shryer, Jacob R.
Abstract:: Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technology is a rapidly developing technological marketspace. This thesis focuses on micro, tethered, coaxial UASs and the development of an electrically-tethered observation platform (ETOP). The thesis details the current status of the technology as well as current products on the market. Stability considerations, critical when adding...

Classifying Low Streamflow Parameters in Coastal Southeast Alaska Using Game Cameras and Random Forest Models

Creator:: Lanphier, Kari
Abstract:: Southeast Alaska is located on the traditional territory of the Lingít, Haida, and Tsimshian People. It is comprised of the largest temperate rainforest in the world, with subregions receiving over 500 cm of rain annually. Climate change is predicted to alter the region's timing, type, and magnitude of precipitation and...

Primocane-fruiting blackberries : the effect of summer-pruning, tipping, and chilling on primocane morphology, fruiting season, and yield

Creator:: Thompson, Ellen
Abstract:: The effect of primocane management on flowering and fruiting patterns was studied in primocane-fruiting blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus, Watson) cultivars 'Prime-Jan'® and 'Prime-Jim'® over two years. Primocanes that were "soft-tipped" (upper 2-5 cm removed) at 1.0 m were compared to un-tipped canes. In both years, soft-tipped primocanes developed 2-3 fold...

The role of material properties in an ISBM process to manufacture polypropylene bottles from virgin and PCR resins

Creator:: Chen, Cheng-Ting
Abstract:: Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin grades have been successfully incorporated into plastic ink supply cartridges, with 80% of cartridge products containing 45% to 70% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET). With this tremendously successful experience, incorporation of recycled polypropylene (rPP) into Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) bottles has been attempted to increase sustainability...

Grazing Effects on Fuels and Plant Community Characteristics across Three Community Types in Wyoming Big Sagebrush Steppe

Creator:: Thomas, Tyler W.
Abstract:: Livestock grazing is the prominent land use in Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis [Beetle & A. Young] S.L. Welsh) steppe and has been present since the late 1800’s. There have been calls to remove livestock grazing from rangelands as historic grazing practices resulted in the degradation of some...

The Fundamental Behavior of Timber-Concrete Composite Floors in Fire

Creator:: Shephard, Annabel B.
Abstract:: Timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors have improved strength and stiffness when compared to timber-only floors, allowing for longer spans in buildings and improved life safety. However, North America does not have codes and standards that recognize TCC floors, particularly the improved life safety performance of these floors in fire. Therefore, alternate...

Repetitive DNA profiles in Bembidion (Coleoptera : Carabidae) show variation in genomic architecture within and between closely related species

Creator:: Barton, Lindsey M.
Abstract:: The ribosomal cistron (rDNA cistron) is a tandemly repeated region in the genome that encodes for the necessary subunits to form ribosomes, complex molecules responsible for the assembly of amino acids into proteins. They are found within all cellular organisms, and evolve at relatively constant rates, making them ideal for...

Communicating oceanographic research through film : the role of film in helping scientists develop and meet their broader impacts goals

Creator:: Madlener, Saskia D.
Abstract:: Funding agencies, specifically the National Science Foundation (NSF), are placing particular emphasis on the societal relevance and broader applications of scientific research, otherwise known as Broader Impacts (BIs). Scientists are required to address the BIs merit review criterion in their research proposals or they will not get funded. However, many...

Characteristics of semi-insulating GaAs photoconductive detectors under steady state illumination

Creator:: Yang, Howard C.
Abstract:: The optical and electrical characteristics of semi-insulating GaAs photoconductive detectors made with ohmic and Schottky contacts are studied in this thesis. Current - voltage measurements are made both in the dark and under varying power levels of HeNe laser (6328 Å) illumination. DC photocurrent gain is then calculated as a...
