Likelihood analysis of the multivariate ordinal probit model for repeated and spatial ordered categorical responses

Creator:: Li, Yonghai
Abstract:: This dissertation is about the likelihood analysis of ordered categorical responses in a longitudinal/spatial study, meaning regression-like analysis when the response variable is categorical with ordered categories, and is measured repeatedly over time or space on the experimental or sampling units. Particular attention is given to the multivariate ordinal probit...

The economics of a research program : knowledge production, cost, and technical efficiency

Creator:: Qin, Lin
Abstract:: Calls continually are made to provide economic assessments of research program achievements and efficiency. Yet little effort has been given to develop an assessment framework that would focus on the research discovery itself, treating the research manager as a producer and the research technology as a knowledge production function. The...

Predictability and constraints on the structure of ecological communities in the context of climate change

Creator:: Barner, Allison K.
Abstract:: Ecologists must increasingly balance the need for accurate predictions about how ecosystems will be affected by climate change, against the fact that making such predictions at the ecosystem-level may be infeasible. Although information about responses of individual species to a changing environment is increasing, scaling such information to the community...

Coastal Dune Ecology, Geomorphology, and Ecosystem Services : How Invasive Beachgrasses, their Interactions, and Sediment Dynamics Shape U.S. Pacific Northwest Dunes

Creator:: Biel, Reuben G.
Abstract:: Biological invasions and climate change represent two preeminent threats to ecological communities and biodiversity, altering the distribution and abundance of species, disrupting existing species interactions and forming unprecedented ones, and creating novel ecological communities. Many of the most successful invasive species are also ecosystem engineers, species that physically modify the...

Ecosystem Functions of Pacific Northwest Estuaries: The Role of Ocean and Watershed Drivers in Eelgrass and Coho Salmon Dynamics

Creator:: Magel, Caitlin L.
Abstract:: Interest is expanding for the potential role of estuaries, particularly seagrass and salt marsh habitats, to sequester carbon, mitigate ocean acidification, and support abundant fisheries. The important functions of estuaries are part of a broader set of ecosystem services, or benefits to humans, which are regulated by ocean and watershed...

The influence of biophysical feedbacks and species interactions on grass invasions and coastal dune morphology in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Zarnetske, Phoebe Lehmann
Abstract:: Biological invasions provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that regulate community composition and ecosystem function. Invasive species that are also ecosystem engineers can substantially alter physical features in an environment, and this can lead to cascading effects on the biological community. Aquatic-terrestrial interface ecosystems are excellent systems to...

Relationship between plant and butterfly community composition on upland prairies of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: York, Melissa M.
Abstract:: Small remnants of 'natural' habitats exist today throughout much of the world. Upland prairies in the Willamette Valley, Oregon have been nearly eliminated by conversion to agriculture and other uses. As a result, very few prairies remain and at least four butterfly species that require this habitat appear to be...

Candidate Causes, Consequences, and Estimation of Individual Diet Specialization

Creator:: Coblentz, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Diet variation among individuals within populations is widespread. Often diet differences among individuals are attributable to obvious differences among individuals such as age, sex, or morphology. However, growing evidence suggests that individual diet variation is also common among seemingly identical individuals within populations. This phenomenon has been termed individual diet...

Creator:: Pham, Loan
Abstract:: The thrust of this thesis is to study oral solid dosage formulation using hot melt coating method and to use pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation (PK M&S) as a tool that can help to predict pharmacokinetics of a drug in human and the probability of passing various bioequivalence criteria of the...

Development of novel spray coated soft elastic gelatin capsule sustained release formulations of nifedipine, bioavailability and bioequivalence of verapamil HCL controlled release formulations, pharmacokinetics of terbinafine after single oral doses in raptors

Creator:: Fahmy, Sahar Abd El-Sattar
Abstract:: This dissertation describes the development of a new sustained release formulation of nifedipine. The new formulation was developed by coating commercially available immediate release soft elastic gelatin capsules using a spray coating technique with two different polymeric combinations. Dissolution studies were conducted and showed that controlled release of nifedipine was...
