A method for predicting peak scanning detection efficiency of a cylindrical sodium iodide scintillation detector

Creator:: Duffy, William L.
Abstract:: Scanning surveys of building surfaces and land areas are performed with radiation detection equipment to identify areas of elevated radioactivity. To quantify the extent and magnitude of the contamination, follow-up radiation surveys and soil sampling are usually required. The ability to accurately quantify discrete locations or "hot particles" of contamination...

Ecology of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) during the early life stages in the Eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

Creator:: Sohn, Dongwha
Abstract:: Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) have decreased in the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands since the 1970s. The reasons behind the poor recruitment are unknown, and important knowledge gaps of the ecology of the early life stages have been identified. The objectives of thesis research were (1) to examine geographic...

Consequence of a superabundance of larval walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma in the Gulf of Alaska in 1981

Creator:: Duffy-Anderson, J. T., Bailey, Kevin Mclean, and Ciannelli, Lorenzo
Abstract:: Abundances of larval walleye pollock in Shelikof Strait, Gulf of Alaska, in 1981 were far greater than any recorded estimates before that time or since (some patch estimates exceeded 100000 larvae per 10 m²). In spite of this extraordinary input, the ensuing 1981 year class was relatively poor. An examination...

Leg 202 synthesis: Southeast Pacific paleoceangraphy

Creator:: Tiedemann, Ralf and Mix, Alan C.
Abstract:: Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 202 has opened a new window into understanding late Paleogene and Neogene global environmental change by providing high-quality sediment sequences from a previously unsampled region, the eastern South Pacific. Eleven sites (1232– 1242) that record variations on timescales ranging from decades to tens of millions...

Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

Creator:: Thompson, Matthew P.
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...

Factors influencing the outcomes of public health legislation in the 2001 Oregon legislature

Creator:: Wise, Kendra J.
Abstract:: Legislation can be an effective public health tool, and understanding the factors that influence legislative outcomes is advantageous for public health practitioners who propose and advocate for legislation. The literature indicates that the issues of personal freedoms, the presence or absence of strong coalition leadership, and political conditions and ideology...

Phylogeography and population genetic structure of double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus)

Creator:: Mercer, Dacey M.
Abstract:: The Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is a widespread, colonial, North American waterbird with bicoastal and inland distributions. Four subspecies have been described within North America corresponding to five geographic breeding regions: Interior and North Atlantic cormorants (P. a. auritus); Southeastern cormorants (P. a. floridanus); Alaskan cormorants (P. a. cincinnatus); and...

Indigenous language preservation programs and language policy in education : a web-based intertextual analysis

Creator:: Muniz, Gloria J. Bock
Abstract:: There are more than 6,900 known living languages in the world, half of which could be extinct within one hundred years. Approximately 150 indigenous American languages are still spoken in the United States; however, it is estimated that by the year 2050 only twenty of them will remain. Language preservation...

Effects of early rearing environment on learning ability and behavior in laying hens

Creator:: Morris, Hannah M.
Abstract:: The effects of enriching the rearing environment of laying hens on their learning ability and behavior were investigated. Day old ISA brown layer chicks were group housed in open floor pens that were either enriched or unenriched. The enriched rooms contained visual stimuli in the form of hanging decorations, auditory...

Engineering design knowledge management and capture using a process overview document

Creator:: Zarins, Andis M.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to examine the possible impact of an engineering design and problem solving process overview document on knowledge management and capture. A process overview document was first created. Next, two multi-disciplinary design teams worked over a two-week span to develop concepts to address a problematic opportunity. One...
