Deposition and characterization of transition metal oxides from aqueous solution

Creator:: Betterton, Sharon A.
Abstract:: The aqueous chemistries of two transition metal cations, Zr⁴⁺ and Nb⁵⁺, are examined and then used to develop inorganic precursor solutions. The oxides of these cations (ZrO₂ and Nb₂O₅) are deposited and characterized, and their morphological and optical properties discussed. Due to the obstacles created by niobium's aqueous chemistry, an...

Improving Region-Scale Landslide Inventory and Susceptibility Mapping

Creator:: Bunn, Michael D.
Abstract:: Landslides are a natural hazard that have major societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The understanding of landslides begins with the observation that they are a spatial problem. Spatial relationships have historically been explored with maps, and landslides are no different. Such maps range in focus from inventory maps, which identify...

Diel Rest Structure Selection and Multiscale Analysis of Pacific Marten Resting Habitat in Lassen National Forest, California

Creator:: Tweedy, Patrick J.
Abstract:: Forests in the western United States have changed drastically over the past 150 years given a long history of utilization (harvest and grazing) and associated fire exclusion. These actions have altered the composition and structure of these forests as well as affected ecosystem function. Current policies for federal land management...

Restoration of Pigeon Guillemot Nesting Habitat Through Removal of Introduced Predators

Creator:: Stark, Samuel B.
Abstract:: The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) in Prince William Sound, Alaska provided impetus for a great deal of research into the ecosystems of the Northern Gulf of Alaska. Buried within the multitude of resulting impacts, which included hundreds of thousands of oiled seabirds and dramatic ecosystem shifts in the...

Orb Web Vibrations: Modeling, Localization, and Measurement

Creator:: Otto, Andrew W.
Abstract:: The orb web is a multipurpose structure---serving as a home for its inhabitant spider, as a prey capture device, and as a physical extension of the spider’s sensing abilities. Biologists are particularly interested in the spider’s ability to locate prey trapped in its web by sensing the vibrations induced from...

Evolutionary Insights into Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis from Natural Variation in Aiptasia Sea Anemones

Creator:: Bellis, Emily S.
Abstract:: Mutualistic associations between corals and symbiotic microalgae of the genus Symbiodium power tropical reef ecosystems, hotspots of marine biodiversity that buffer coastlines, support tourism- and fisheries-based economies, and offer untapped potential for discovery of novel pharmaceutical compounds. However, reef ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, in large part due...

Adapting the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders Task to Older Adults : The Psychometric Evaluationand Theoretical Exploration of a Measure of Executive Function

Creator:: Cerino, Eric S.
Abstract:: With an estimated 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease facing individual, social, and financial burdens, researchers must make cognitive assessment inquiries a priority (Alzheimer’s Association, 2016). Cognition encompasses multiple aspects of thought processes, such as multiple types of memory, planning, inhibitory control, attention, and processing speed. The higher level...

Tactics for enhancing conservation biological control of twospotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch, in Pacific Northwest hop yards

Creator:: Woods, Joanna L.
Abstract:: The twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is a worldwide pest of numerous agronomic and horticultural plants. Conservation biological control of this pest can be unreliable due to asynchrony of natural enemies and certain horticultural practices that have a direct or indirect affect on natural enemies and the...

Effectiveness of curve advisory speed signs : a characterization of road operations in western Oregon

Creator:: Avelar Morán, Raúl Eduardo
Abstract:: Posting advisory speed signs at sharp horizontal curve locations is a common practice in the U.S. These signs recommend drivers safe speeds to negotiate such curves. Literature indicates that adherence to advisory speeds is, in general, poor. Moreover, limited research is available that quantifies safety implications of these signs. This...

Synthesis and investigation of layered oxides with honeycomb ordering

Creator:: Schmidt, Whitney L.
Abstract:: Synthesis and discovery lies at the core of every field in chemistry. The investigation of the structure-property relationships in compounds known or new is the fundamental purpose of solid state chemistry. Mixing related solid state compounds to form solid solutions can lead to exciting new and/or unexpected properties. Layered compounds...
