  • Post mortem interval and decomposition rates : biological observations and mathematical analysis

    Creator:
    England, David B.
    Abstract:
    Entomological evidence can be used for estimating post mortem interval (PMI). Decomposition studies have been conducted throughout the world and these studies have demonstrated that insect succession generally follows a similar pattern at a taxonomic level, specifically family, but varies at the genus and species levels with respect to geographic...

  • Variation in female reproductive success in amphibians

    Creator:
    Dyal, Leslie A.
    Abstract:
    My dissertation focuses on the factors that influence variation in female reproductive success in plethodontid salamanders and in toads. Variation in reproductive success fuels evolutionary change. Although, females often have been overlooked in studies of reproductive success due to perceived lower levels of variation when compared to variation in male...

  • Complex architecture of a closterovirus virion

    Creator:
    Napuli, Alberto J.
    Abstract:
    In this investigation we examined the molecular architecture and functions associated with the virion components of the Beet yellows virus (BYV), family Closteroviridae. The BYV virions are filamentous particles composed of two coat proteins, the major coat protein (CP), which encapsidates the majority of the genome, and the minor coat...

  • The asymmetric binding of Actinomycin D to DNA hexamers

    Creator:
    Ivancic, Monika
    Abstract:
    The solution structure determination of DNA molecules has been an important part of structural biology. NMR solution structures are a complement to structures solved via X-ray crystallography; the two methods are the only ways of obtaining three dimensional coordinates of macromolecules. Because of the nature of the molecule, the solution...

  • A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

    Creator:
    Meleason, Mark Alan
    Abstract:
    Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...

  • Bioactive natural products from marine algae

    Creator:
    Tan, Lik Tong
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an account of my investigation on the natural products deriving from various marine algae and has resulted in the discovery of thirteen novel bioactive metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these unique molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by careful analyses of 1D and 2D...
