Diurnal wind-driven processes on the northern Monterey Bay inner shelf

Suanda, Sutara H. (2009-12-11)

In the summer of 2007, a biophysical experiment was conducted to identify physical processes that determine the delivery of invertebrate larvae and juvenile rockfish to rocky intertidal and kelp forest communities in nor ...
Dive and surfacing behavior of bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) monitored by satellite-telemetry

Krutzikowsky, Gregory K. (1996-03-14)
Dive characteristics of Northeast Pacific blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) monitored by satellite telemetry

Lagerquist, Barbara A. (1997-05-13)
Divergent anti-predator strategies and risk allocation in juveniles of three North Pacific flatfishes

Boersma, Kate S. (2007-10-03)

Frequent or lengthy predation risk can cause one of two modifications of prey feeding behavior: 1) postponement of feeding to less risky periods, or 2) resumption of feeding behavior despite persistent risk. North Paci ...
The divergent k-plane transform

Keinert, Fritz (1985-06-11)

Diverse alkane monooxygenase systems in short-chain alkane-utilizing bacteria

Hamamura, Natsuko (2001-04-06)
Diverse pathways in retirement transitions : influences of family, work, wealth, and health

Peters, Cheryl L. (2006-02-02)

Shaped by life course and feminist perspectives, this study investigated the influence of finances, human capital, health, family situations, and work factors on two different retirement transitions among married and par ...
Diversity and abundance of birds across a hardwood gradient in early seral Douglas-fir plantations

Ellis, Tana M. (2010-12-28)

Recent evidence suggests that population declines of some avian species may be driven primarily by reduced quantity and diversity of early-successional habitat on the breeding grounds. Increasing intensity of forest mana ...
Diversity and community structure of aquatic insects in isolated montane desert streams

Bogan, Michael T. (2005-09-15)

Local aquatic insect diversity and community structure is the result of multiple local and regional factors, and observed patterns depend upon the spatial and temporal scale under examination. Isolated stream systems in ...
Diversity and similarity of benthic fauna off Oregon

Stander, Jeffrey M. (1969-08-15)

Samples of benthic organisms off the coast of Oregon, taken from depths varying from 50 to 2900 meters, have been analyzed in terms of diversity at a given station, and similarity and ecological distance to other stat ...
Diversity at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site : processes of diversification in historical interpretation, visitor services, and workforce management

Langford, Theresa E. (2000-05-05)

Issues of diversity are receiving significant attention within the National Park Service recently, due in large part to a growing awareness that its future as a relevant and viable agency is dependent upon improving it ...
Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

Elarief, Noha (2008-10-16)

In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional ...
Diversity of bacterioplankton and plastid SSU rRNA genes from the eastern and western continental shelves of the United States

Rappé, Michael Stephen (1997-05-21)

The phylogenetic diversity of two continental shelf picoplankton communities was examined by analyzing SSU (16S) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes amplified from environmental DNA with bacterial-specific primers and the poly ...
Diversity, productivity, and mycophagy of hypogeous mycorrhizal fungi in a variably thinned Douglas-fir forest

Colgan, Wesley (1997-07-30)

Hypogeous fungi are a critical component of forest ecosystems world wide. In Pacific Northwest forests, they are the base of the food chain of the threatened Northern Spotted Owl. As part of The Forest Ecosystem Study ( ...
Division algebra representations of SO(4,2)

Kincaid, Joshua James (2012-06-19)

Representations of SO(4,2;R) are constructed using 4 x 4 and 2 x 2 matrices with elements in H' ⊗ C . Using 2 x 2 matrix representations of C and H', the 4 x 4 representation is interpreted in terms of 16 x 16 real matri ...
Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Ellis, Erik (2005-11-21)

This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the publ ...
DNA based artificial nanostructures : directed assembly of cellulose nanocrystals into advanced nanomaterials

Mangalam, Anand Paul (2008-07-07)

The fabrication of nano-scale devices is a challenging, but potentially important, technology that has drawn a great deal of interest among researchers. Such nanoscale constructions utilizing a bottom-up approach for dev ...
DNA binding and beyond : an investigation of proteins involved in PAH-induced carcinogesesis

Hooven, Louisa Ada (2003-12-15)

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) has been determined to be a risk factor for various forms of human cancer. PAH DNA adducts have been shown to cause mutations, but carcinogene ...
DNA fingerprinting and genome mapping in meadowfoam

Katengam, Sureeporn (1999-10-22)

Marker information in the new oilseed crop, meadowfoam, is limited. Molecular markers to facilitate meadowfoam breeding and cultivar improvement are not available. The knowledge of genetic relationships among recent germ ...
DNA markers and characterization of novel sources of eastern filbert blight resistance in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Peterschmidt, Brooke C. (2013-02-26)

European hazelnut is a significant crop in the Pacific Northwest, and the US ranks 4th internationally for hazelnut production. Production in the Pacific Northwest is threatened, however, by the disease eastern filbert ...
