Relationship Between Reverse Transfer Students, Diversity, and Open Access in Washington State Community College Associate’s Degree in Nursing Programs

Creator:: Minger, David L.
Abstract:: The nursing profession has long sought more diversity in registered nurses (RNs) to reflect the populations served. One way to enhance RN diversity is through diversity in community college (CC) associate degree in nursing (ADN) programs. Since ADN programs lead to professional employment with middle-class wages, they form an important...

Diversity and Evolution of Sexual Traits in Ground Beetles (Family Carabidae)

Creator:: Gomez, R. Antonio
Abstract:: Biologists have long been fascinated with reproductive traits, in part because they are frequently exaggerated or showy, and they commonly vary among closely related species. Exaggerated sexual traits, in particular, have been the focus of intense empirical and theoretical research, but most of this work has focused on traits involved...

Combustion mechanisms in wood fired boilers

Creator:: Tuttle, Kenneth Lewis
Abstract:: A program of research has been established at Oregon State University to study wood residue combustion using an experimental spreader-stoker combustor. This research was conducted to increase the understanding of combustion occurring in wood fired boilers. Using Douglas Fir screened to 3/8-3/4 inches, two 4x4 factorial experiments were conducted varying...

Phylogenomics and Evolution of Ground Beetles, with an Emphasis on the Speciose Tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Creator:: Pflug, James M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I investigate the evolution and genomes of carabid beetles, a worldwide family of over 38,000 species. I focus on two species-rich groups, the tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini, both of which are primarily found on the shores of bodies of water. The former are distinctive for their defensive...

The Influence of Prey Predictability on the Foraging Behavior and Movement of Intertidal Predators

Creator:: Hennessey, Shannon M.
Abstract:: Fluctuations and spatial heterogeneity of habitat and resources is thought to underlie niche variation in animal populations, with intraspecific differences serving to produce or maintain population-, community-, or ecosystem-level patterns. Individual diet variation, defined as individual variation in food resource use within a population that is consistent over time, is...

An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems. Changes in vegetation and soil are measured to gauge and predict plant community dynamics within ecological states and transitions between alternative ecological states. Ecological states and their boundaries are defined by...
