  • Fantastic Histories: How Malory's Morte Darthur Influenced Tolkien's The Silmarillion

    Creator:
    Tatom, Simon K.
    Abstract:
    My thesis, entitled "Fantastic Histories: How Malory's Morte Darthur Influenced Tolkien's The Silmarillion," argues that J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion shares distinct similarities in style and content with Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, primarily in the lack of detail in the descriptions of characters and events, as each attempts to create a...

  • Quantifying C and N contents and isotope signatures of SOM pools in the H. J. Andrews DIRT plots

    Creator:
    Keirstead, Heath
    Abstract:
    The mechanisms governing short- and long-term belowground carbon dynamics need to be understood. As part of a larger project developed to assess the effect of quantity and quality of litter inputs on the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) formation, I examined SOM in the H. J. Andrews Detritus Input...

  • Visualization of N-ary Relationships

    Creator:
    Qu, Botong
    Abstract:
    N-ary relationships, which relate N entities where N is not necessarily two, are omnipresent in real life. In this thesis, we develop a visualization technique for N-ary relationships. First, we propose a visual metaphor that utilizes vertices and polygons to represent entities and N-ary relationships. Based on this visual metaphor,...

  • Genome sizing and fire blight resistance screening in Cotoneaster

    Creator:
    Rothleutner, Joseph J.
    Abstract:
    Cotoneaster is an ornamental shrub valued for showy flowers, berries and architecture as well as the ability tolerate adverse conditions under which other taxa fail. Cotoneaster is a highly diverse genus of over 400 species, of which few are available in the US nursery trade. Some species commercially available have...

  • Carbonation Kinetics of SrO By CO₂ for Solar Thermochemical Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Bagherisereshki, Elham
    Abstract:
    Given its abundance and accessibility, exploiting solar energy is a powerful approach to reduce dependency on fossil fuels for energy generation. Thermochemical reactions using concentrated solar power at high temperature are an attractive method of energy storage in support of concentrated solar power (CSP). Thermochemical energy storage of on-sun thermal...

  • The optimization of thin film p-CuO/n-ZnO heterostructures for use in selective gas detection

    Creator:
    Dandeneau, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Since bulk p-CuO/n-ZnO heterocontacts were first proposed for gas detection, rapid development has taken place in improving the overall functionality of these structures. While bulk heterocontacts have been shown to exhibit desirable sensitivity and selectivity characteristics, these devices suffer from innate diffusion and ZnO/CuO connectivity drawbacks that limit their effective...

  • Hybridization between Castilleja levisecta and C. hispida : Implications for Pacific Northwest Prairie Management

    Creator:
    Sandlin, Isaac J., III
    Abstract:
    Conservation conflicts may develop on restoration sites with multiple species recovery objectives. For example, on Pacific Northwest prairies, the co-planting of the diploid cytotype of the common native wildflower Castilleja hispida with the endangered wildflower C. levisecta has resulted in putative Castilleja hybrids on restoration sites, prompting fears that genetic...

  • A Normal Approximation to N-mixture Models with Applications in Large Abundance Estimation and Disease Surveillance

    Creator:
    Brintz, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    N-mixture models provide a structure for making inference about a local population size while accounting for imperfect detection. Using a binomial likelihood, they assume prior distributions on the size parameters and then integrate those parameters out of the full likelihood. For large population sizes, the established frequentist methods have exhibited...

  • Reversible Covalent Immobilization of Desferrioxamine B (DFOB) on Aminated Polystyrene Beads for Citrate-Bound Fe(III) Chelation

    Creator:
    Touma, Jad G.
    Abstract:
    The immobilization of chelators to solid supports has recently gained renewed interest due to the increasing biomedical and environmental applications made possible by these molecules’ ability to bind Fe(III) and other metal ions. The uses of immobilized chelators have expanded to include the treatment of metal overload in serum, the...
