Crustal architecture and magma dynamics in a large continental magmatic system : a case study of the Purico-Chascon Volcanic Complex, Northern Chile

Creator:: Burns, Dale H.
Abstract:: The ~1 Myr history of the Purico-Chascon volcanic complex (PCVC) records significant changes in the production and storage of magmas in the crust. At ~1 Ma activity at the PCVC initiated with the eruption of a large 80-100 km³ crystal-rich dacite ignimbrite with restricted whole rock ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope ratios between...

Habitat use and selection by sage grouse broods in southeastern Oregon

Creator:: Drut, Martin S.
Abstract:: In Oregon, sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) were common in the eastern portion of the state. Since 1940 populations declined because of decreased productivity. The western subspecies (C. u. phaios) was listed as a candidate for threatened and endangered status in 1985 because of declines in Oregon and Washington and extirpation...

Chemodetection of threatening chemical stimuli by juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)

Creator:: Stone, Steven L.
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Palmitylation of vaccinia virus proteins : identification of modification sites and biological relevance

Creator:: Grosenbach, Douglas W.
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus encodes at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through thioester linkage to cysteine residues. This is referred to as palmitylation of proteins. The purpose of this work was to gain an understanding of palmitylation, focusing on what defined...

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...

Landscape level patterns in biodiversity : plant species and biomass structure

Creator:: Heider, Christopher
Abstract:: In the tropics, widespread deforestation and conversion of primary forests to agricultural and pasture lands has resulted in losses of composition, structure, and functions of forest landscapes. Deforestation in the tropics is typically preformed via slash-and-burn practices; the byproducts from combustion have been identified as the second-highest form of anthropogenically...

The language of mathematics : a functional definition and the development of an instrument of measure teacher perceived self-efficacy

Creator:: Gray, Virginia
Abstract:: Mathematics is permeated with language; it appears in the form of new words and some old words with new meanings. There are new symbols to be able to read and consume; much information is presented in tabular or graphic form, and finally the language in a mathematics class has its...

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...

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...

The influence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation on T cell fate

Creator:: Funatake, Castle J.
Abstract:: 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds are well-recognized for their immunosuppressive activity, which is mediated through an intracellular receptor and transcription factor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Laboratory animals exposed to TCDD are less resistant to infection and have severely impaired humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. This dissertation addressed the hypothesis that...
