  • Potential effects of sea-level rise on plant productivity: species-specific responses in northeast Pacific tidal marshes

    Creator:
    Janousek, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Coastal wetland plants are adapted to varying degrees of inundation. However, functional relationships between inundation and productivity are poorly characterized for most species. Determining species-specific tolerances to inundation is necessary to evaluate sea-level rise (SLR) effects on future marsh plant community composition, quantify organic matter inputs to marsh accretion, and...

  • Computational Approaches for Understanding Combinatorial Gene Regulation

    Creator:
    Ansariola, Mitra
    Abstract:
    Gene regulation is a complex mechanism that controls the spatial and temporal expression of genes in a living cell. My dissertation studies focus on two problems. First, tissue-specific gene expression prediction from DNA sequence and chromatin state, and second, the accurate discovery of small over-represented regulatory circuits in gene regulatory...

  • Drone Strikes : The Moral, Political, and Legal Implications of the Changing Character of War

    Creator:
    Khalife, Ryan A.
    Abstract:
    Drone strikes have become a defining strategy in the US War on Terror. Since the first combat drone strike in 2001, the executive branch has intentionally increased the deployment of drones for counterterrorism operations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. This thesis explores the moral and legal justifications for...
