Using Satellite Imagery to Count Nesting Albatross from Space

Creator:: Dolliver, Jane E.
Abstract:: One fundamental concern in conservation biology is species abundance. For many taxa, however, these data are costly to obtain via direct observation and thus limited in geographic or temporal scope. Very high-resolution satellite imagery provides a means to address these limitations and provide remotely-sensed counts of large, colonial species. We...

Conceiving A Colony: A Multi-Level Biocultural Analysis of the Maternal Stress-Preterm Birth Nexus in Puerto Rico

Creator:: Horan, Holly L.
Abstract:: This dissertation aims to elicit how a neo-colonial context shapes maternal and infant heath (MIH) outcomes by describing how they are socially, politically, historically, and culturally produced. Using a multi-level critical biocultural, medical anthropological research approach, the purpose of this research was to investigate maternal stress in the United States...

Stability of Biochar Under Storage Conditions and Evaluating its Potential as a Carbon Sequestration Tool in the United States

Creator:: Rovero, Matthew
Abstract:: Biochar has shown promise as a soil amendment for improvement of agricultural and forest productivity, remediation of heavy metals, and sequestration of carbon, but has not yet been adopted for widespread use in any of these applications. By assessing the production potential as a carbon sequestration tool, and the stability...

Diagnosis and Etiology of a Soilborne Disease Complex of Winter Squash (Cucurbita maxima) in the Willamette Valley, OR

Creator:: Rivedal, Hannah M.
Abstract:: Winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for edible seed, frozen foods, and fresh markets is susceptible to an undiagnosed soilborne disease. Diseased squash fields exhibit symptoms of stunting, root and crown rot, vascular discoloration, and late-season wilt, which in extreme cases can lead to total crop failure....

Party System Institutionalization and Accountability for Corruption in Latin America: The Cases of Brazil and Chile

Creator:: Pinilla, Juan P.
Abstract:: In the wake of the ``third wave'' of democratization, scholars and practitioners were optimistic regarding the ease with which countries could adopt democratic norms and institutions. However, after four decades of democracy, many competitive regimes have not improved government probity or developed strong forms of accountability. Levels of economic and...
