The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:: Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

Modeling protein structure at atomic resolution

Creator:: Berkholz, Donald S.
Abstract:: This thesis includes three studies involving different aspects of modeling protein structure. The first study illustrates the levels of insight available from atomic-resolution protein structures. The second study derives general trends of protein geometry from atomic-resolution structures and shows their implications for modeling. The third study creates a model of...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Geneticist L.C. Dunn : politics, activism, and community

Creator:: Gormley, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
Abstract:: L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and scientists....

An evaluation of understory vegetation dynamics, ecosystem resilience and state and transition ecological theory in an eastern Oregon ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: Relatively recent increases in ponderosa pine abundance have effected unprecedented changes to ecosystem structure and function. Efforts to restore ponderosa pine systems are often focused on the manipulation of tree structure and the re-introduction of a more natural fire regime. Successful restoration should also incorporate understory components but information addressing...

A fistful of Astragalus : phenotypic and genotypic basis of the most taxon rich species in the North American flora

Creator:: Knaus, Brian J.
Abstract:: The study of the infra-specific ranks (i.e., subspecies and variety) can be considered the study of the process of speciation. Astragalus lentiginosus Douglas ex Hooker (Fabaceae) is the most taxon rich species in the U.S. flora currently including 40 taxonomic varieties. These varieties were described using traditional taxonomic methods primarily...

Assessing mechanisms of immunotoxicity for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Bravo, Claudia F.
Abstract:: During the past 30 years, numerous studies have focused on the toxicities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Laboratory and field studies have helped elucidate the detrimental effects of these chemicals on growth, reproduction and immune response. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are in the priority list of chemicals to be studied by...

Boundaries of research : civilian leadership, military funding, and the international network surrounding the development of numerical weather prediction in the United States

Creator:: Harper, Kristine C.
Abstract:: American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Creator:: Ellis, Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

Factors that influence risk behavior in HIV infected women receiving antiretroviral therapy in Kampala and Masaka, Uganda

Creator:: MacLachlan, Ellen W.
Abstract:: Women living in sub-Saharan Africa are more affected by HIV/AIDS than any other population in the world. Two-thirds of all new HIV infections worldwide occur in sub-Saharan Africa and over 60% of these infections are in women. Indeed, 70% of all women globally who are infected with HIV reside in...
