Late Quaternary paleoceanography of the Northeast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans based on diatom transfer functions

Creator:: Lopes, Cristina Isabel Coelho Dias
Abstract:: Modern upwelling conditions and corresponding oceanographic properties are investigated and reconstructed for the Late Quaternary. The oceanographic conditions considered influence diatom ecology and the record of fossil diatom frustules in the sediments. Diatoms from modern sediments are evaluated as paleoceanographic proxies and transfer functions (TFs) are calibrated using the Imbrie...

Toward making the invisible visible : studying science teaching self-efficacy beliefs

Creator:: Perkins, Catherine J.
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of two articles to be submitted for publication. The first, a literature review, makes visible common influences on science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and also points to potentially invisible validation concerns regarding the instrument used. The second investigates the participants' invisible science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and, through the...

Public investment policy and industry incentives in life science research

Creator:: Wang, Chenggang
Abstract:: The biorevolution in the 1970’s greatly stimulated investment in life-science research. The present dissertation is aimed at evaluating the impact of US public investment on industrial investment in life-science research. The focus is on three major life-science fields: biology, medicine, and agriculture. A dynamic model of industrial R&D investment is...

Mindfulness in counseling and psychotherapy : A literature review and quantitative investigation of mindfulness competencies

Creator:: Stauffer, Mark D.
Abstract:: There is substantial interest in the application of mindfulness in counseling and psychotherapy. The appeal of mindfulness training and mindfulness-based interventions has increased as research continues to demonstrate benefits. Mindfulness practice has not only been effective in clinical applications with clients, but has also been conceptualized as beneficial for counselors...

Decision support systems for forest biodiversity management : a review of tools and an analytical-deliberative framework for understanding their successful application

Creator:: Gordon, Sean N.
Abstract:: The complexity of forest management has increased with the scope of resources of concern and the level of scrutiny from stakeholders. The design and use of specialized computer software, often referred to as “decision support systems” (DSS), is one method for helping managers deal with this complexity. DSS have proven...

Enhancing cultural resources management and improving tribal involvement inthe NEPA process through the development of atribal environmental policy act

Creator:: Sloan, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents an analysis of the historic preservation framework on tribal cultural resources management (CRM). It examines some of the challenges this framework poses to tribal governments working on cultural resources protection efforts within a compliance framework. An examination of five major laws that regulate the practice of CRM...

An environmental history of Euphoria Ridge, Oregon : a case study for ethnobotany in traditional resource management

Creator:: Fluharty, Suzanne M.
Abstract:: This dissertation looks at one landscape component of the Coquille Indian Tribe's ancestral lands in order to understand the place meaning created and assigned to Euphoria Ridge, Oregon. I focus on three cultural overlays across time that together with the unique biophysical components, generate an importance for the locale to...

Fire severity and vegetation response to fire in riparian areas of the Biscuit and B&B Complex Fires, Oregon

Creator:: Halofsky, Jessica E.
Abstract:: Fire is the dominant disturbance process in western U.S. forests, and although effects of fire in upland forests are relatively well-studied, there is little information about fire effects on riparian forests, critical areas of the landscape for both habitat and water quality. This dissertation examines different aspects of fire effects...

Fatigue and fracture of bulk metallic glasses : role of free volume

Creator:: Launey, Maximilien E.
Abstract:: Deformation of metallic glasses requires the existence of free volume to allow atomic movement under mechanical loading. Accordingly, the present research seeks to understand how free volume variations in alloys of identical compositions affect the fatigue and fracture behavior. By annealing below the glass transition temperature, the free volume of...

The fluvial response to glacial-interglacial climate change in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: VanLaningham, Sam J.
Abstract:: This research focuses on the development of new techniques to explore terrestrial-ocean climate linkages along the Pacific Northwest-northeast Pacific Ocean margin. This is done by investigating river response to climate change and by unraveling this history preserved in continental margin sediments. A significant component of this work centers on developing...
