  • Investigation of postharvest quality and storability of hardy kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta 'Ananasnaya')

    Creator:
    Landis Fisk, Connie
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this project were to determine the effects of harvest maturity, packaging, and storage conditions on subsequent fruit quality of Actinidia arguta ‘Ananasnaya’ and to investigate the use of edible coatings to improve fruit quality and storage life. The influences of harvest maturity (6.0, 8.7, 9.1, and 15.1%...

  • Hop bittering compounds and their impact on peak bitterness on lager beer

    Creator:
    Fritsch, Annette N.
    Abstract:
    Hop derived bitter compounds, including alpha-acids, reduced and non-reduced iso-alpha-acids, were evaluated for their contribution to peak bitter intensity in lager beer. Alpha-acids are the precursors to the major bittering components in beer (iso-alpha-acids). Typically, alpha-acids do not survive the brewing process, but if a product is dry-hopped, they may...

  • A Thematic Feminist Analysis of Best-Selling Children’s Picture Books

    Creator:
    Marie, Michelle
    Abstract:
    Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the top ten best-selling children's picture books of 2006 reveals that these books contain elements of systematic privilege and oppression. Dominant group members are numerically overrepresented in the sample. Major emergent themes are the normalization of racism and white privilege, the stereotypical portrayal of the...

  • Disciplining the reception of Darwin : the botanical and sociological work of Lester Frank Ward

    Creator:
    Zimmerman, Katharine
    Abstract:
    The publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, truly a synthesized work of natural history, coincided with the emergence of specialized disciplines in the 19th century. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the specialization of knowledge, in the form of disciplinization, and the reception of new...

  • Development and application of a resource selection model for pygmy rabbits

    Creator:
    Meisel, Jennifer K.
    Abstract:
    Pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in Oregon and Washington are a sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp.) obligate species of concern because of declining populations and extirpation from much of their range. Efforts are underway to establish a captive bred population of the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit in Washington state for reintroduction into...

  • Synthesis and characterization of palladium/polycarbonate nanocomposites

    Creator:
    Onbattuvelli, Valmikanathan P.
    Abstract:
    Metal/polymer nanocomposites are of increasing importance with their tunable properties being used in catalysis and sensors. Previous studies have focused on the effects of metal content, molecular weight of polymer and reaction conditions on the structure- property relationship of the metal/polymer nanocomposites. This thesis focuses on the effect of two...

  • Quantification of advection and dispersion in lateral subsurface flowpaths at the hillslope-scale

    Creator:
    Victory, Nichole I.
    Abstract:
    It is becoming increasingly important to understand fundamental hillslope-scale hydrological processes. Most hillslope-sale transport experiments have generally focused on conceptual findings or other aspect of flow behavior, rather than the quantification of the mass transport mechanisms of advection and dispersion. When the velocities have been quantified, dispersion has been mentioned...

  • Interactive influences of wildfire and nonnative species on plant community succession in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

    Creator:
    Ainsworth, Alison
    Abstract:
    The role of fire as a natural disturbance, its interactions with nonnative species and effects of repeated fires in the Hawaiian Islands have received little investigation. We are unsure of the role fire played in shaping forest structure and composition as well as affecting evolutionary processes of the native biota....

  • Biosynthesis studies and mutasynthesis of myxobacterial secondary metabolites

    Creator:
    Knight, Eva W.
    Abstract:
    Myxobacteria represent an interesting class of Gram-negative soil bacteria. These bacteria utilize organic materials from the environment as a food source by the action of their extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. They grow vegetatively in the presence of adequate nutrients. During starvation conditions, however, they aggregate and form multicellular structures called fruiting...

  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: The Dental Hygienist’s Role

    Creator:
    Swanson Jaecks, Kelli M.
    Abstract:
    Recent scientific studies show strong correlations between oral and systemic disease, creating a crucial need for increased collaboration between the medical and dental professions. Interdisciplinary collaboration between medical and dental providers is emerging as a critical component to effective patient care. The role of the dental hygienist in interdisciplinary collaboration...
