The application of ablative laser ultrasonics to an aluminum plate, titanium tube, and welded joints

Creator:: Butler, Chad L.
Abstract:: Laser ultrasonics can be used to nondestructively evaluate structures to determine the existence and location of surface and interior flaws. The goal of this research was to determine if laser ultrasonic techniques can be applied to the inspection of aluminum plate. titanium tubes, and large welded plate structures. The research...

The household economy : examining the mediating roles of income diversification and home production on economic and subjective well-being of women in Malawi

Creator:: Chande-Binauli, Lucy S.
Abstract:: An integrated framework of Family Resource Management and Household Economic theory was utilized to develop a model of relationships between human capital, family characteristics and resources, number of income sources, hours spent in home production, total income and subjective well-being. This study utilized a sample of 129 women systematically selected...

The effects of pathogens, UV-B radiation, and introduced species on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kiesecker, Joseph Michael
Abstract:: I examined two amphibian communities to assess factors that may impact amphibian biodiversity. The results suggest that the potential factors which influence the maintenance of amphibian biodiversity are multi-faceted and thus, attempts to understand these factors must reflect these complexities. I investigated factors that influenced the susceptibility of western toad...

Evolutionary and ecological interactions affecting seaweeds

Creator:: Olson, Annette M.
Abstract:: The term "interaction" in evolutionary biology and ecology describes the relationships among variables in two classes of causal models. In the first, "interaction" refers to the influence of a single putatively causal variable on a variable of interest. In the second class of models, the term applies when a third...

The effects of predation on anuran metamorphosis

Creator:: DeVito, Jill
Abstract:: Many organisms with complex life cycles undergo transition periods associated with increased vulnerability to predation. Several evolutionary adaptations have been proposed as antipredator defenses for organisms during risky transition periods. These include: shortening of the transition period, parental care, cryptic coloration, and synchrony of risky transitions with large numbers of...

The effects of parasites on host behavior : who benefits?

Creator:: Lefcort, Hugh G.
Abstract:: Some parasites may modify the behavior of their hosts. Altered behaviors may: 1) benefit the host in that they defend against the pathogen, 2) benefit the pathogen and represent manipulations of the host response, and 3) benefit neither the host or the pathogen and simply be a product of the...

Ecological aspects of kin discriminating behavior with implications of functional value

Creator:: Hokit, D. Grant
Abstract:: To assess the context dependence of kin discriminating behavior, I examined kin-biased aggregation behavior in tadpoles of R. cascadae in different ecological conditions. I manipulated food distribution, predator presence, thermal heterogeneity, and relatedness in a multifactorial mesocosm experiment. All four factors interacted to influence tadpole dispersion. My results suggest that...

The Victory in Vietnam Committee's Manichean Rhetoric : An Analysis of the Campaign to Recall Idaho Senator Frank Church

Creator:: Andrews, Cheri L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to illuminate the role, the function, and the ironic outcome of the Victory in Vietnam Committee's campaign pamphlet to recall Senator Frank Church of Idaho in 1967. The VVC's political strategy was to build credibility with the media through the recall pamphlet. The analysis...
