  • (In)visible women: Representation and Conceptualization of Gender in Water Governance and Management

    Creator:
    Best, Jaclyn P.
    Abstract:
    Although there is a substantial body of work on the inclusion of women in traditionally male-dominated processes of water management and water governance (Earle & Bazilli, 2013), these efforts have mostly been concentrated in the Global South and women are still lacking in positions with decision-making power, making water governance...

  • Constraints to urban park visitation : Conceptual connections and spatial attributes for traditionally well-served and underserved residents

    Creator:
    Rushing, Jaclyn R.
    Abstract:
    Connecting with nature is associated with social, physical, and emotional benefits such as stress relief, improved physical health, and lower crime. Parks and other natural areas offer spaces in which to connect with nature and reap these and other benefits (e.g., family bonding, social events, learning). Despite increasing populations of...

  • Distribution and life history of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) off the Oregon and Washington coasts

    Creator:
    Richards, Jaclyn M.
    Abstract:
    This study examines the spatial and temporal distribution and life history of the "offshore" component of the Northeastern Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) population. Distribution was examined in relation to latitude, depth, the Columbia River plume and large-scale climate changes. Fishery and survey data indicate that the Northeastern Pacific spiny...

  • MAN 'aging Water Resources of the Deschutes River Basin

    Creator:
    Taganova, Jahan
    Abstract:
    In the last two decades, there has been an increase in substantial body of work on the inclusion of women in the water management and governance field. However, these scholarly inquiries have mostly focused on cases from the Global South, where women are still underrepresented in decision-making positions in the...

  • After we lost the wind

    Creator:
    Watterson, Jaclyn
    Abstract:
    My thesis is a collection of short stories in which I explore themes like loss, identity, and memory. The collection includes both short stories and short short stories, and through in-depth exploration of character and form, the stories here attempt to fit into a tradition of writers articulating the experiences...

  • Cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases in the mosquito, Culex pipiens

    Creator:
    Baldridge, Gerald D.
    Abstract:
    A sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation technique for obtaining microsomes has been developed. This technique has advantages over the classic differential centrifugation technique, in that it is faster, is better suited to work with small quantities of tissue, and offers the opportunity to work with a defined microsomal sub-cellular fraction, rather than...

  • B-Naphthoflavone induction and its effect on hepatic phospholipid metabolism in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

    Creator:
    Harris, Marcia Elaine
    Abstract:
    The induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes is a complex biochemical process manifested not only by increases in various cytochrome P-450 isozymes and related activities, but also by alterations in endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Little work has been done to examine how cytochrome P-450 inducing agents influence other cellular processes, such as phospholipid...

  • p-type transparent electronics

    Creator:
    Valencia, Melinda Marie
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of p-type materials for transparent electronics applications. Thin films of ®-BaCu2S2, a p-type semi-transparent semiconductor, are fabricated and characterized. ®-BaCu2S2 has a transmittance of 60% to 80 % in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mobility, conductivity,...

  • Using p-adic valuations to decrease computational error

    Creator:
    Limmer, Douglas J.
    Abstract:
    The standard way of representing numbers on computers gives rise to errors which increase as computations progress. Using p-adic valuations can reduce error accumulation. Valuation theory tells us that p-adic and standard valuations cannot be directly compared. The p-adic valuation can, however, be used in an indirect way. This gives...

  • Decomposition of di-p-toluenesulfonyl-hydrazones

    Creator:
    Bradway, Diane Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    Thermal decomposition of several di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazones was studied. It was found that the carbene decomposition of tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanedione, di-p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone gave two products resulting from rearrangement. One was identified as 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-hexatriene. A tentative structure for the second was proposed. During the course of the study, a more convenient procedure for thermal decompositions was...
