  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Crustal structure of the Baja Peninsula between latitudes 22 ̊N and 25 ̊N

    Creator:
    Huehn, Bruce
    Abstract:
    Geophysical data collected in 1975 and 1976 reveal major crustal and tectonic elements of the continental margin of southern Baja California. Gravity, magnetic, seismic reflection and bathymetric data show seaward extension of the islands enclosing Magdalena and Almejas Bays. A seismic reflection profile, oriented approximately normal to the trend of...

  • Growth and structure of three adjacent 22 year-old Douglas-fir stands in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Espinosa Bancalari, Miguel A.
    Abstract:
    In the Oregon Coast Range, total biomass and biomass increment, leaf area, the relationship between leaf area and sapwood area, and patterns of growth and form of individual trees, were studied in 40 Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesfi (Mirb.) Franco) trees from three adjacent 22 year-old plantations that had developed at different...

  • Stability analysis of nonlinear coupled barge motions

    Creator:
    Nakhata, Tongchate
    Abstract:
    The present research investigates nonlinear barge motions through analyses of coupled multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) deterministic and stochastic models. Roll-Heave-Sway and other lower-ordered models are developed to predict the nonlinear motions and analyze the stability of a class of ship-to-shore cargo barges. The governing equations of motion contain coupled rigid body Roll-Heave-Sway...

  • Finite models of zero order propositional calculi

    Creator:
    Applebee, Ralph Calvin
    Abstract:
    The main result of this dissertation provides rather general conditions under which extensions of zero order propositional calculi inherit the property of having a finite characteristic model. This result is applied to show that if a calculus T is a normal extension of the Heyting calculus H, and if T...

  • 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...

  • Applications of radiotelemetry to studies of California quail in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Kilbride, Kevin M.
    Abstract:
    A partially automated radio-tracking system with semi-continuous azimuth data collection and XYLOG5 and MAP computer programs for azimuth data analysis was used for studies of California quail (Callipepla californica) at the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon, in 1988 and 1989. Movements of 58 hens were monitored daily to determine nest...

  • Active uptake of chloride across the skin of the frog, Rana pipiens (Schreber)

    Creator:
    Poole, Antoinette Marie
    Abstract:
    Chloride is actively transported across the skin of the intact leopard frog, Rana pipiens. The influx and efflux in 0.2 mM NaC1 are 0.67 and 0. 72 μeq/10 g-hr, respectively. The renal efflux of chloride is 0.02 μeq/10 g-h . The transepithelial potential differences (TEP) range from -1 to +32...

  • 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...
