Merging missions : a historical analysis of the University of Alaska Anchorage, 1984–2009

Creator:: Strom, Stephen L.
Abstract:: Literature on the evolution of the American higher education system includes a historical and consistent debate over the definition of the higher education mission in the country. Recent debate focuses on mission differentiation between the university and the community college. Acknowledging systemic changes in higher education historically occurred within regions...

An investigation of transition from penetration to deflection in the fracture of bi-material interfaces

Creator:: Strom, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The problem of determining whether a crack impinging on an interface will penetrate into the substrate or deflect along the interface is vital to the effective design of layered and composite material systems. Of particular interest is the transition between crack propagation by penetration through an interface and deflection along...

Oregon's Fishing Community Adapting to Change in Policy, Management, and Markets : Documenting Women's Roles and Adaptive Capacity in an Evolving Industry

Creator:: Calhoun, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Commercial fishing research often focuses on ecological (gear, stock assessment, traceability) or economic factors. Truly understanding the social-ecological system requires considering the entire "human dimension" and this includes the social, cultural, and legal/policy aspects as well. An understudied yet important factor is women's contribution to fishing at the family and...

Laws, regulations, and management plans to improve streamflow and stream temperature : a case study in the North Fork Burnt River Watershed

Creator:: Morgan-Hayes, Anna S.
Abstract:: As the western United States faces warmer and increasingly varied climate conditions, as well as predicted water insecurity, concerns over water quality and water availability are growing. While humans, fish, and wildlife are dependent on clean water for survival in the present, management of water resources needs to consider future...

Relative heat sensitivities and the potential for soil solarization to remediate nursery beds infested with Phytophthora spp.

Creator:: Weidman, Clara Suzanne
Abstract:: Infestations of container nursery beds by Phytophthora spp. can be persistent and costly. One method of disinfestation that does not require the use of chemicals is soil solarization, which captures energy from the sun to heat soil and thermally inactivate target pathogens. In laboratory temperature gradient experiments, I investigated the...

Photoinitiated grafting of PMMA onto cellulose nanocrystals to improve nanocomposite reinforcement-matrix interface

Creator:: Mirashrafi, Suzanne
Abstract:: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are extremely abundant, biodegradable and light weight nanoparticles that have the potential to contribute in many fields including packaging, construction, solar cells and automotive. With the increasing interest in nanotechnology and nanocomposites, CNCs could provide a renewable, optically transparent and strong alternative to other nano-scale reinforcement phases....

The Dynamics of Work, Poverty, and Business Cycles: An Analysis of Oregon Households Receiving Food Assistance

Creator:: Porter, Suzanne
Abstract:: Oregon’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) (formerly called Food Stamps) rose by 33% between October 2008 and October 2009 as the economy went into recession and the unemployment rate increased. The percentage of Oregon’s overall population receiving SNAP benefits increased from 11.8% in July 2005 to 16.3% in July 2009. With...

Habitat Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse During Winter in Southeastern Oregon

Creator:: Hagen, Christian A., Willis, Mitchell J., Glenn, Elizabeth M., and Anthony, Robert G.
Abstract:: The distribution and geographic range of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been reduced by 56% since European settlement. Although loss and fragmentation of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats have been cited as the primary causes for the decline of the species, degradation of existing habitat also has been considered an important...

Life history and environmental influences on avian incubation and parental care in songbirds

Creator:: Austin-Bythell, Suzanne H.
Abstract:: Patterns of nest attendance behavior by breeding birds represent a parent-offspring trade-off in which adults balance self-maintenance with parental care decisions. Incubation, in particular, is of interest because adults must provide an environment suitable for embryonic development through nest-building and contact-incubation. We evaluated how adult incubation constancy and nest visitation...

Evolutionary Genomic Responses to Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Caenorhabditis elegans

Creator:: Wernick, Riana I.
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on genome evolution has the potential not only to provide new insights on the basic evolutionary processes influencing mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, but may also reveal novel avenues for evolutionary adaptive recovery from harmful mutations. Aberrant mitochondrial activity is fundamental to the pathology of...
