The Ibis, journal of the British Ornithologists' Union : a pre-synthesis portrait

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution...

Diurnal and subdiurnal variability in the Mars Pathfinder Presidential meteorology sessions

Creator:: Bennett, Scott
Abstract:: The Mars Pathfinder (MPF) arrived on the Martian surface on 4 July 1997 to become only the third successful landed mission to Mars, recording surface meteorological data intermittently over a period of 83 Martian days ("sols"). The in situ observations made by the MPF meteorology (MET) experiment were recorded at...

Biases in droplet radii and optical depths of marine stratocumulus retrieved from MODIS imagery

Creator:: Boeke, Robyn C.
Abstract:: The 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment established that the effect of clouds on climate contributes the largest uncertainty in predicting the future climate. Satellite observations provide an opportunity for learning about the behavior of clouds. This thesis seeks to assess the accuracy of cloud properties retrieved from multispectral...

Evaluation of precipitation data applied to hydrological simulation using MMS-PRMS for the Whitewater River Basin in Kansas

Creator:: Lin, Wei
Abstract:: Precipitation is one of the most important components contributing to hydrological dynamics. Spatially distributed precipitation data can be obtained by satellite, radar, rain gages, etc, to serve various purposes. Currently, the most commonly used precipitation data still rely on gage-based measurement techniques that provide timely precipitation information with high quality...

The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

Creator:: Ellis, D. Erik
Abstract:: The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

The light within us : Quaker women in science

Creator:: McCabe, Leslie N.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the role of Quaker women in science in an attempt to arrive at some understanding of what motivated Quaker women in nineteenth century America to go into the sciences. George Fox founded the Society of Friends in the mid-seventeenth century in England and the Quaker theology centered...

The determinants of library prices of biology journals : an econometric analysis

Creator:: Phillips, Irina
Abstract:: Increases in the prices of scholarly journals have exceeded the general rate of inflation for the last decade and more. In the face of this "serials crisis," libraries have found it increasingly difficult to maintain essential journal collections. This thesis investigates the causes of the serials crisis in biology using...

Nature in chains : the effects of Thomas Jefferson’s rectangular survey on a Pacific Northwest landscape

Creator:: Schweickert, Tina K.
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of humans on the environment has long been a topic of scholarly interest and debate. As environmental problems mount, accounts of historic ecological conditions and the factors of change become increasingly useful. This study considers competing schools of interpretation about human impacts on ecological landscapes and develops...

In the midst of a revolution : science, fish culture, and the Oregon Game Commission, 1935-1949

Creator:: Hahn, Linda
Abstract:: This thesis will address the transformation of biological sciences during the 1930s and 1940s and it effects on fisheries science. It will focus on Oregon State College and specifically the Department of Fish and Game Management and the interaction with the Oregon Game Commission. Support for mutation theory and neo-...

The value of short run in-stream temperature forecasts : an application to salmonids in the Klamath and John Day Rivers

Creator:: Huang, Biao
Abstract:: Water temperature is an important measure of water quality, as well as a dominant factor affecting aquatic life within the stream environment. Elevated water temperatures can decrease the survival rate of fish in each life stage. Cold water species, such as salmonids, are particularly susceptible to elevated water temperatures. For...
