A Microeconomic Analysis of Wildfire Suppression Programs in the Western United States

Creator:: Rossi, David J.
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the microeconomics of forest fire suppression programs. It starts with an inquiry into the causes of increasing shares of public land management budgets devoted to wildland fire suppression in lieu of hazardous fuel reduction or other pre-fire risk mitigation programs. The first two chapters consider competing economic...

Evaluation of Fusarium proliferatum Mycotoxin Profiles in Infected Garlic Cloves

Creator:: Rossi, Francesca
Abstract:: Fusarium proliferatum is a fungus found in soils which produces the mycotoxin group known as fumonisins. Of human concern due to hepato-, nephro- and neurotoxicity, the threat of fumonisins lies within several food items, including corn, wheat sorghum, asparagus and, more recently, garlic. Manifesting as ““garlic rot”,” F. proliferatum infection...

The Effect of Canopy Cover and Wildfire Smoke on Near-Surface Temperatures

Creator:: Brackett, Amanda
Abstract:: Recent shifts from clearcutting to partial retention harvesting on many ownerships and the importance of microclimate dynamics on biotic responses to regional climate highlight the need to understand how microclimate conditions in forest understories differ across gradients of partial overstories. This study compares below-canopy near-surface temperatures at 2cm above ground...

Effects of Different Strength Levels on the Ability of Older Adults to Recover from Backward or Forward Balance Losses

Creator:: Haberly, Gabriel J.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are an important concern due to the potential injuries associated with falling. Decreases in muscle strength as a result of natural aging could impair the ability of older adults to prevent either a backward or forward fall. Two musculoskeletal models were used to predict the effect...

Development of Computational, Visualization, and Molecular Tools for Fungal and Oomycete Community Ecology

Creator:: Foster, Zachary Stephen Longiaru
Abstract:: Oomycetes are an important group of organisms with a variety of ecological roles similar to fungi. Although many are well-studied plant pathogens known for their devastating effects on agricultural systems, most are little-studied saprobes and parasites of plants and animals in nearly every ecosystem on earth. The advent of affordable...

Janus-Type Wicking Microfluidic Devices for Separation and Collection of Plasma from Blood

Creator:: Unitan, Linus J.
Abstract:: A simple Janus-type membrane-based wicking microfluidic device fabricated on a polycaprolactone-filled glass microfiber membrane enables separation and collection of blood plasma or serum from whole blood. This device bridges the wicking and cut-capillary-based solution transport mechanisms in a single membrane. The initial portion of the device is fabricated using selective...

Early Childhood Teachers’ Compassion Fatigue: The Roles of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Supportive Relationships with Leaders and Co-Teachers

Creator:: Abshire, Caitlyn J.
Abstract:: Compassion fatigue is a common struggle that helping professionals face; however, it is not yet well understood in early childhood teachers. Compassion fatigue results from caring for individuals who have had traumatic experiences, which can cause physical and emotional exhaustion, leading to a diminished ability to empathize with individuals in...

An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Climate-related Disasters on the Regional Economy

Creator:: Fouzia, Sultana Z.
Abstract:: The ongoing climate change has impacted the lives and livelihoods of people. A climate-related disaster acts as an exogenous shock to the economy that can have lingering effects over a larger region even if all the locations are not directly affected. Climate-related disasters do not follow the administrative boundaries. So,...

Assembly and Regulation of WW-PPXY Complexes in Hippo Signaling

Creator:: Baker, Kasie J.
Abstract:: The Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. A key function of the pathway is to regulate the subcellular distribution and activity of Yorkie in Drosophila or Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcription co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in mammals. The dysregulation of the...
