Individual Differences in Intuitive Risk Judgments

Creator:: Brunot, Alexander N.
Abstract:: The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...

Fine scale foraging behavior of gray whales in relation to prey fields and vessel disturbance along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Sullivan, Florence A.
Abstract:: The desire to understand the spatial and temporal drivers of animal behavior and distribution relative to scale is central to movement ecology. Optimal foraging theory states that a predator should continue exploiting a patch until it is no longer profitable to do so. As human developments increasingly encroach on the...

(Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity : The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh

Creator:: Evans, Nicolas M. J.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the postmodern confrontation of representation throughout the oeuvre of Martin McDonagh. I particularly look to his later body of work, which directly and self-reflexively confronts issues of artistic representation & masculinity, in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of his earliest and most controversial plays. In...

Parent, Advocate, and Educator Perspectives on the Inclusion of Young People with Disabilities in Positive Youth Development Programs

Creator:: LeComte, Sarah J.
Abstract:: More than six million American students have a diagnosed disability (NCES, 2015). Research suggests that 62% of them may never participate in clubs, sports, or other organized activities in their communities (Coster et al., 2012). Parents, advocates, and educators of individuals who experience disability were interviewed to gather their perspectives...

The role of sigma factors in production of cyanobacterial natural products: Escherichia coli as a heterologous expression host

Creator:: Wells, Kaitlyn N.
Abstract:: Cyanobacteria represent an underexploited source of bioactive natural products of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Lack of development of these compounds as drug leads is due mainly to myriad practical problems with the producing strains including long doubling times, genetic intractability, and low compound yields. Previous attempts at heterologous expression...

Voluntary alcohol consumption in male rhesus macaques suppresses cancellous bone remodeling

Creator:: Kahler-Quesada, Arianna M.
Abstract:: Background: Chronic heavy alcohol consumption is a risk factor for bone fracture. Using a non-human primate model of voluntary alcohol self-administration, we have recently shown that alcohol consumption suppresses intracortical bone remodeling. The current study extends this investigation to asses the effect of alcohol consumption on cancellous bone mass, architecture,...

Incorporation of polymorphic spacers to inhibit sintering of SrO/SrCO3 for thermochemical energy storage

Creator:: Tran, Justin T
Abstract:: Global energy needs are continuously increasing while fossil fuels remain an uncertain resource. With a growing population and demand for energy, alternative energy sources are being pursued to power the future. Fossil fuels are an unsustainable resource that brings along problems of climate change and atmospheric pollution. Concentrated solar power...

Internment at Santo Tomas University, a Podcast

Creator:: Atwood, Ryan A.
Abstract:: The Santo Tomas University Internment Camp Podcast tells the story of a prison camp run by the Japanese in the Philippines during World War Two, told through a scrapbook created by two internees named Frank and Mildred Miles. Consisting of two parts, an academic portion which focuses on the historical...

It's Not You, It's Me : An Inductive Exploration of Employee Accounts for Quitting

Creator:: Neaves, Emily
Abstract:: Key Words: Exit interview, voluntary turnover, dishonesty
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

Anammox Enrichment and Kinetics

Creator:: Kannan, Rahasudha
Abstract:: Anammox (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation) is a significant biogeochemical process carried out by certain bacteria, generally referred to as anammox bacteria. These bacteria have the ability to anaerobically oxidize ammonium (NH4+) with nitrite (NO2-) to form nitrogen gas (N2) without an organic carbon source. While anammox bacteria are found in a...

Science performance of United States youth on international exams : A cross-cultural meta-synthesis

Creator:: Huss, Christiana H.
Abstract:: The purpose of this meta-synthesis was to investigate why students from the U.S. receive the scores they do on the international TIMSS and PISA science exams. This work sought to shed light on the perceived disparity between science performance of U.S. students and students from other countries. To do so,...

Social media styles : The influence of emotion on persuasion through Twitter

Creator:: Harris, Jonah
Abstract:: Given the unique nature of interpersonal interactions via microblogging sites (such as Twitter), it has become clear that a new generation of political candidates will need to appeal to a new generation of voters by way of an entirely new mechanism: Social networking sites (SNS’s). In order to address the...

From DNA to Deep Space : Investigating scale communication in multidisciplinary engineering projects

Creator:: Erickson, Tarah L. S.
Abstract:: An important goal of engineering educators is to prepare students to interact and communicate with other professionals, especially other engineers. Object and process scale is a crucial concept that engineers are required to communicate frequently and effectively. The goal of this study is to characterize how engineers communicate scale within...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation of Microfluidic Focusing in a Low-Cost Flow Cytometer

Creator:: Parrott, Connor
Abstract:: Inertial microfluidics refers to the manipulation of the location and velocity of particles suspended in microscale fluid flow without the introduction of outside forces. It has promising applications in flow cytometry and other biomedical technologies because of the potential for lowering cost and complexity relative to current particle focusing methods....

Investigating the Potential for Cryopreservation of Human Granulocytes with Concentrated Glycerol

Creator:: Moss, Alden C.
Abstract:: Granulocytes are a class of white blood cells essential to immune function. Granulocyte transfusions hold promise to treat many conditions, but the short-shelf life of granulocytes makes transfusions infeasible without a cell preservation method. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential for cryopreservation of granulocytes using 30%...

Projected temperature and precipitation changes for Corvallis and Los Angeles for the 2030-2059 period using the Hadley Center's regional climate model (HadRM3P).

Creator:: Cheema, Karandeep Singh
Abstract:: Average monthly temperatures (maximum and minimum) and precipitation patterns are expected to change as a direct consequence of anthropogenic climate change. Temperatures are expected to be warmer in the future but precise estimates vary depending on factors like number of ensembles and emission scenario. For this study, we used 100...
