The Impact of Noisy Catch Data on Estimates of Efficient Output Derived from DEA and Stochastic Frontier Models: A Monte Carlo Comparison

Creator:: Lee, S. Todd and Holland, Daniel
Abstract:: There is currently much national and international interest in measuring commercial fishing capacity. Two quantitative methods that will likely be used for this purpose are data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier (SF) production functions. Although both methods can be used to estimate a production frontier, their underlying assumptions and...

Onset of symbiosis in a cnidarian-dinoflagellate association

Creator:: deBoer, Melissa L.
Abstract:: Scleractinian corals, like many other cnidarians, engage in intracellular symbiosis with dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium. This association makes invaluable structural and energetic contributions to the marine environment and to the coral reef ecosystem in particular. While many aspects of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate relationship have been well studied, nothing is...

Regeneration and growth of several canopy tree species in the Maya Forest of Quintana Roo, Mexico : the role of competition and microhabitat conditions

Creator:: Sorensen, NaDene S.
Abstract:: We evaluated the regeneration behavior and early growth rates of 10 non-pioneer canopy tree species in medium-height, semi-evergreen dry tropical forest in Quintana Roo, Mexico. These species provide timber and non-timber forest products for local communities and include evergreen and deciduous species with varied dispersal mechanisms. The species were Coccoloba...

Synthesis and characterization of novel stationary phases for small scale liquid chromatographic separations of proteins and nanoparticles

Creator:: Hutanu, Daniela
Abstract:: The emerging field of nanotechnology strictly requires the micro-scaling of the available separation technology and the design of novel devices for separations of molecules of interest. The separation of proteins and nanoparticles is challenging due to their relatively large size, non-specific adherence to surfaces and instability in many solvents. This...

The genetic dissection of the fruitless gene's functions during embryogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Song, Ho-Juhn
Abstract:: The fruitless (fru) gene in Drosophila melanogaster is a multifunctional gene having sex-specific functions in the regulation of male sexual behavior and sex-nonspecific functions affecting adult viability and external morphology. While much attention has focused on fru's sex-specific roles, little is known about its sex-nonspecific functions. The embryonic central nervous...

Estimation of implicit prices in hedonic price models : flexible parametric versus additive nonparametric approach

Creator:: Bin, Okmyung
Abstract:: This thesis contains two essays that use state-of-the-art econometric methods to estimate the implicit prices of various housing and vehicle attributes in hedonic price analysis. The additive nonparametric regression proposed by Hastie and Tibshirani (1990) is applied to capture a series of nonlinearities relating prices to their attributes that cannot...

Exploring the cellular mechanisms of Cnidarian bleaching in the sea anemone Aiptasia pallida

Creator:: Perez, Santiago
Abstract:: Many members of the Phylum Cnidaria are mutualistic with unicellular dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium. Corals are the most widely recognized example of these associations due to their key ecological importance in coral reef ecosystems where they serve as the structural and trophic foundation of these rich ecosystems. Coral...

Nine Native Mexicans families in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Cervantes, Willan A.
Abstract:: The Mixteco primarily reside in the Mexican State of Oaxaca in Southwestern Mexico. They have been arriving in larger numbers then ever before to this part of the North American continent in the last twenty years.Their experience is composed of different dynamics compared to those of their mainstream Mexican counterpart....
