Geographers of writing : the authorship of Aphra Behn and Daniel Defoe in Oroonoko and Robinson Crusoe

Creator:: Klinikowski, Autumn
Abstract:: Themes of authorship in Aphra Behn's Oroonoko and Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe highlight locations in the stories that expose the author's concerns with their responsibilities and contributions to society. In order to frame a discussion of authorship in Oroonoko and Robinson Crusoe, it is essential to position Behn and Crusoe...

Reasserting moral boundaries : representations of fame in George Eliot's Daniel Deronda

Creator:: Foster, Emily S.
Abstract:: Celebrity culture is part of a long history of fame, but the modern celebrity individual came into focus in the nineteenth century. The first part of this thesis distinguishes modern celebrity – including its morality – from other types of fame, explores the intersection of celebrity and gender through the...

Assessing the Risk and Resilience of Coastal Communities: An Application to the Joint Seismic-Tsunami Hazard at Seaside, Oregon

Creator:: Sanderson, Dylan, R.
Abstract:: This thesis presents two conceptually linked papers outlining methodologies to improve community resilience. Both papers employ Seaside, Oregon as a testbed community and consider the seismic-tsunami hazard posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first paper presents a framework to deaggregate the results of a multi-hazard, multi-infrastructure, damage analysis by...

A study of the DNA excision repair capabilities of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) exposed to dietary cyclopropenoid fatty acids

Creator:: Collier, John Mark
Abstract:: The DNA repair capabilities of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were studied vising the method of autoradiography. Trout were fed a semi-purified control diet containing 0 ppm, 50 ppm, or 300 ppm cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) for 6-9 weeks. Liver slices were prepared and exposed in vitro to a control treatment,...

Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor circuits

Creator:: Heineck, Daniel Philip
Abstract:: The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to indium- or gallium-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice...

John Turberville Needham (1713-1781) and eighteenth century theories of generation

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: There were two viable theories of generation, preformation and epigenesis, existing in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Due to their irreconcilable nature, they were often at loggerheads during this time interval. The status of these generation theories can be effectively understood in terms of Thomas Kuhn's conception of preparadigm science....

Geographic variation in distribution and cover of principle native and non-native plant species along gradients of topography, climate, and disturbance in protected-area sagebrush steppe communities of the Columbia Plateau

Creator:: Esposito, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The sagebrush steppe ecosystem of the Columbia Plateau has become degraded by a long history of alternative land use and associated perturbations. Protection of remnant stands of intact sagebrush steppe currently relies upon their preservation within the nation's network of parks and protected-areas. The John Day Fossil Beds National Monument,...

Validating songbird habitat relationship models

Creator:: Wilson, Dorothy G.
Abstract:: Models are commonly used to assess and predict wildlife response to management practices. Model validation is essential if managers are to use them with confidence. Fifteen forest bird-habitat relationship models were developed by biologists using data collected from private forestland in southwest Washington. These models predict species' probability of occurring...

Developing tools to improve tsunami resilient design of coastal structures

Creator:: Thomas, Seth Alan
Abstract:: Over the last decade the world has seen three major tsunamis strike the coasts of Indonesia, Samoa, and Chile. These tsunamis have caused significant losses of life and property on the coastal cities of these and nearby countries. The NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) Housesmash project was created to...

Experimental and numerical modeling of wave height attenuation by emergent coastal vegetation

Creator:: Blackmar, Philip James
Abstract:: Coastal vegetation dampens waves which can provide benefits to the local area, but existing literature shows large variations in the degree of wave height attenuation depending on plant properties and wave conditions. Better knowledge of how to predict the wave height decay accurately in different types of vegetation may help...
