  • Ideology, reality, and rhetoric : Kenneth Burke's dramatism

    Creator:
    Beach, Josh M.
    Abstract:
    The American philosopher and literary critic Kenneth Burke was an "ideologist" (although he never called himself this, and added to that, he spent most of his life avoiding the Marxist term of ideology to describe human "systems" of ideas). Burke instead used the terms "orientation," "rationalization," "perspective." "critical perspective," "way...

  • High-frequency measurements of total CO₂ : Method development and first oceanographic observations

    Creator:
    Bandstra, Leah M.
    Abstract:
    As concern grows about the long-term effects of increasing atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, it becomes increasingly important to understand the cycling of carbon on Earth, particularly in the dynamic marine reservoir. Gas exchange and relatively rapid ocean mixing times mean that the oceans play a significant role in determining the atmospheric...

  • Life histories of juvenile chinook salmon in the Columbia River estuary : 1916 to the present

    Creator:
    Burke, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    Pacific Coast estuaries provide important rearing habitats leading to improved growth and survival for juvenile chinook salmon. However, research has suggested that juvenile salmon have little use for estuarine habitats in the Columbia River. To further understand salmonid recovery needs in estuaries, I compared historical and contemporary life history patterns...

  • Food systems in the Marys River region and reinhabitation

    Creator:
    Burke, Erik P.
    Abstract:
    Reinhabitation is an approach to building local cultures and economies within industrial society. The food system is a vital starting point. What are the principles of reinhabitory food systems? What are the possibilities for a locally adapted food system in the Marys River region of western Oregon? I describe past...

  • Development of an autonomous in-situ instrument for long-term monitoring of Cu(II) in the marine environment

    Creator:
    Holm, Christopher E.
    Abstract:
    An autonomous, in-situ instrument was developed to detect dissolved copper in seawater, suitable for deployment on time scales from weeks to months. A commercially available in-situ nitrate analyzer (YSI 9600) was adapted to measure copper (II) in seawater by chemiluminescence. Modifications included construction of a photomultiplier (PMT) based detector and...

  • Novel secondary metabolites from a Madagascar collection of Lyngbya majuscula

    Creator:
    Nannini, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Marine organisms produce a variety of secondary metabolites for defense, communication, and reproduction. While these uses are essential for the organisms' survival, marine natural products have demonstrated their value to human society as well. Asian countries used algae for centuries to treat or prevent illnesses as wide-ranging as cough, gout,...

  • Sea surface height and geostrophic velocity variability in the California current system as observed from the TOPEX altimeter

    Creator:
    Righi, Dylan D.
    Abstract:
    Eight years (1994-2000) of data from the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter are used to investigate the variability of the sea surface height and geostrophic velocity of the California Current system. The TOPEX/Posiedon satellite measures SSH along an exact-repeat set of groundtracks with a 10-day repeat cycle. In the domain studied here...

  • Behavioral adaptations and the minimization of reproductive costs in the male red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis.

    Creator:
    O'Donnell, Ryan P.
    Abstract:
    The benefits of reproduction are clear, but there are also costs. Much is known about the costs of reproduction in females, but only recently have male costs been investigated in any depth. These costs of reproduction may be minimized by appropriately modifying behavior, but there has been little research on...

  • Public health impact assessment : a science-based methodology for comparing biological agents

    Creator:
    Appt, Julia R.
    Abstract:
    Humans have long suffered the effects of disease causing biological agents. Today bioterrorism appears to be on the rise while at the same time global and ecological changes have resulted in the emergence of new diseases. Potential repercussions of an epidemic pose immense challenges requiring a methodical approach to align...

  • Activation, incorporation and modification of capreomycidine during viomycin biosynthesis

    Creator:
    Fei, Xiaobo
    Abstract:
    Molecular genetic and enzymological techniques have been employed to study antibiotic biosynthesis. The nonproteinogenic amino acid capreomycidine is the signature residue found in the tuberactinomycin family of antitubercular peptide antibiotics and an important element of the pharmacophore. Recombinant VioG, a single module peptide synthetase from the viomycin gene cluster cloned...
