Transboundary groundwater : geopolitical consequences, commons sense, and the law of the hidden sea

Creator:: Jarvis, William Todd
Abstract:: With 97% of the world’s freshwater resources stored underground, the connection between groundwater resources to the metrics of space, scale and time common to the geographic study of natural resources has not been extensively investigated by geographers. While nearly 240 transboundary aquifers are mapped across the world, a potential “tragedy”...

If you build it, will they come? Evolution towards the application of multi-dimensional GIS to fisheries-oceanography

Creator:: Vance, Tiffany C.
Abstract:: The development of new technologies in science is a balance between existence and use. There are three versions of this duality – something is built and users come, something is built and users don’t come, and, finally, potential users show up but the ballpark has not yet been built. In...

Temperature effects on the growth of Douglas-fir seedlings

Creator:: Wommack, Donald Everett
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to determine the effects of different chilling treatments during the dormant season upon growth of Douglas-fir seedlings0 In addition it was planned to determine whether seedlings native to various geographic areas differ in their chilling requirements0 The hypotheses were advanced, based on previous studies, that chilling...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Quantification of state-and-transition model components utilizing long-term ecological response data following one-seed juniper treatment on a deep sand savannah ecological site

Creator:: Shaver, Patrick L.
Abstract:: A proposed state-and-transition model (STM) for the Deep Sand Savannah ecological site in central New Mexico was developed using historical data and expert knowledge. This STM was tested utilizing data from short and long term one-seed juniper (Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg.) control experiments initiated in 1981 and 1985. Utilizing data...

Computational improvements to Benders decomposition for generalized fixed charge problems

Creator:: Battilega, John Anthony
Abstract:: A computationally efficient algorithm has been developed for determining exact or approximate solutions for large scale generalized fixed charge problems. This algorithm is based on a relaxation of the Benders decomposition procedure, combined with a linear mixed integer programming (MIP) algorithm specifically designed to solve the problem associated with Benders...

Simulation of cattle cycle demography: cohort analysis of recruitment and culling decisions in the national beef cow herd

Creator:: Nordblom, Thomas L.
Abstract:: This study expresses the hypothesis that historical patterns of national beef cow herd accumulation and liquidations (the cattle cycle) have been related to investment incentive differences across cow ages through time, resulting each year in changes in herd age structure, performance and potentials for adjustment in subsequent years. A review...

Education of American research astronomers, 1876-1941

Creator:: Hall, Robert Dale, 1947-
Abstract:: The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941 is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes: the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading community of astronomers, the...

Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

Creator:: Jolly, J. Christopher
Abstract:: The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...
