Production and partitioning of organic matter during simulated phytoplankton blooms

Creator:: Wetz, Michael S.
Abstract:: Few studies have examined the partitioning of organic matter in upwelling systems, despite the fact that these systems play a key role in carbon and nitrogen budgets in the ocean. We examined the production and partitioning of phytoplankton-derived organic matter in deck incubations off Oregon during the upwelling season. During...

Analyses of noncanonical DNA structures

Creator:: Khuu, Patricia A.
Abstract:: The structural polymorphic nature of DNA has been long been recognized since the model of the right-handed B-DNA duplex proposed by James Watson and Francis Crick was accepted. Its malleability is thought to be critical in protein recognition and manipulation. In particular, it can form Holliday junctions, four-way DNA structural...

The influence of herbivore generated inputs on nutrient cycling and soil processes in a lower montane tropical rain forest of Puerto Rico

Creator:: Fonte, Steven J.
Abstract:: The role of insect herbivores in the nutrient cycling dynamics of forest ecosystems remains poorly understood. Although past research in herbivory has focused primarily on the deleterious effects that insects can have on tree growth and mortality, the overall effects of herbivory are more complex. Herbivores have the potential to...

Comparative study of the population dynamics, secondary productivity, and reproductive ecology of the euphausiids Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera in the Oregon upwelling region

Creator:: Gutierrez, Jaime Gomez
Abstract:: I compare the seasonal abundance variation, population dynamics, fecundity, egg hatching mechanism and success, and apostome ciliate parasites of the euphausiids Euphausia pac?fica and Thysanoessa spinfera from the Oregon coast, USA. Community structure and nearshore distributions were examined from bi-weekly oceanographic surveys (1970-1972). This region has a strong cross-shelf change...

Respecting one’s abilities, or (post)colonial tokenism? : Narrative testimonios of faculty of color working in predominantly white community colleges

Creator:: Samano, Michael Luis
Abstract:: The purpose of this research project was to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experience of faculty of color. More specifically, this project explores how diversity-related workload expectations impact faculty of color who work in predominantly white community colleges. Known by various descriptors, the term used in this research...

The re-discovery of soul and reclamation of spirit anew : the influence of spirituality on the persistence of Mexican American Chicana (o) community college transfer students at a small liberal arts university

Creator:: Rasca-Hidalgo, Leo
Abstract:: Low completion rates have created serious "leakage points" (Astin, 1988) and "severe hemorrhaging" (Lango, 1996) in higher education to a large number of Hispanics. Traditional research on college persistence, which has blamed the students' culture for low performance, is inaccurate. Little research has specifically investigated academic persistence from a cultural...

Pineapple juice : phenolic composition and enzymatic browning inhibition

Creator:: Wen, Ling
Abstract:: The phenolic profile of pineapple juice was analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC/Diode Array Detector, and 9 major peaks accounting for 70% of total peak area were characterized. None of these peaks are represented by the pineapple phenolics reported to be present by previous workers. Most of the major peaks are not...

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...

Characterization of phenolics in Marion and Evergreen blackberries

Creator:: Siriwoharn, Thanyaporn
Abstract:: Frozen Marion (Rubus sp. hyb) and Evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus) (whole berries, berries without seeds, and seeds alone) were acetone/ chloroform extracted. Phenolics were isolated using C₁₈ cartridges and polyamide resins, then characterized and measured by reversed-phase HPLC/diode array spectral techniques. The Polyamide isolated fractions of Marion berries contained four...
