The postwar novel as postmodern : revisiting Catch-22 & Slaughterhouse-five

Creator:: Spreitzer, Peter
Abstract:: This thesis is an exploration of Catch-22 (1961) and Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), two early documents of American postmodern literature. In particular, this thesis attempts to present the critical discussions surrounding each novel as parallel to the broader theoretical discussions surrounding the concept of postmodernism. My contention is that, in both of...

Laboratory Observations of Tsunami-Driven Debris Damming with Comparison to ASCE 7-22 Minimum Design Loads

Creator:: Doyle, Kellen C.
Abstract:: Tsunami inundation of coastal communities can impose a wide array of forces on the built environment. Forces generated by tsunami-driven debris damming have the potential to cause failure of coastal structures and further accumulate flow-entrained debris. Since tsunami-resilient design standards were adopted by ASCE in 2016, debris damming considerations have...

Confessing Our Sims: The construction of gender and sexuality among women ages 18-22 on MySpace

Creator:: Papaleo, November R.
Abstract:: MySpace is a social network phenomenon with over 100 million profiles and a strong presence in over 24 countries. As digital media become more commonplace, social networks are becoming sites where women create and manage relationships and identities. This thesis is a study of how women ages 18-22 are constructing...

Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

Creator:: Early, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

Distribution and origin of organic matter preserved in modern surface sediments throughout Coastal SE Alaska

Creator:: Walinsky, Sarah E.
Abstract:: Twenty seven modern (top 1-2cm) sediment samples from multicores retrieved from throughout coastal SE Alaska were analyzed for their organic matter content and the source composition. Total organic carbon (TOC) as well as biogenic silica (bioSi), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content were analyzed to evaluate the organic matter content and...

Evaluating space use and pesticide exposure risk for burrowing owls in an agricultural environment

Creator:: Gervais, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Large burrowing owl (Aihene cunicularia) populations exist in areas of intensive agriculture in California, and pesticide exposure has been identified as a potential threat to population persistence. I evaluated breeding season use of agricultural fields by adult male owls using radio telemetry, and examined egg contaminant residues to estimate population-level...

Displacement-based fluorescent microRNA biosensors : design principles and analytical metrics

Creator:: Larkey, Nicholas E.
Abstract:: One post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates the progression of cancer and other diseases involves small 22-23 nucleotide sequences called microRNA (miR). Early detection of small changes in concentration of these biomarkers holds potential to diagnose diseases at their earliest stages. Use of current nucleic-acid based biosensors, like molecular beacons, for in...

Active women with and without menstrual disorders : comparison of resting metabolic rate and energy availability

Creator:: Guebels, Charlotte P.
Abstract:: The prevalence of exercise-induced menstrual dysfunction (ExMD) ranges between 6-79% in endurance-trained women and may result from a low energy availability (EA; kcal/kgFFM/d). EA is the energy remaining after planned exercise, which is available for basic physiological processes and daily living activities. One mechanism for energy conservation may be a...

Parental warmth and children's effortful control : predictors of social-emotional competency

Creator:: Murray, Amy K.
Abstract:: Recent research has examined complex relationships between parent and child characteristics and the development of children’s social-emotional competencies. The over-arching objective of the current study was to compare differential patterns of predictability between the individual social-emotional competencies of cooperation, responsibility, and independence, and a social-emotional competency composite, to parental warmth...

Towards autonomous irrigation : comparison of two moisture sensing technologies, irrigation distribution analysis, and wireless network performance at an ornamental container nursery

Creator:: Bailey, Daniel R.
Abstract:: As ornamental container nurseries face diminishing water allocations, many are looking to automated irrigation solutions to increase their water application efficiency. This thesis presents the findings of a study conducted at a commercial container nursery to determine 1) whether a capacitance or load cell sensor was better suited for monitoring...
