This thesis is comprised of two articles that examine sympathy, material culture, and ownership in Victorian literature. In the first article, I explore the figure of the heiress in the Victorian literary tradition, focusing on Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Charles Dickens's Great Expectations. George Eliot marked the heiress figure...

This work was performed on Trillium albidum Freeman (Liliaceae), to
clarify the pattern of morphological variation between the small-flowered
populations at the northern limit of its range ( T. parviflorum Soukup) and the
larger-flowered populations from southern Oregon and northern California. It was
hypothesized that only a single species of...
Meteorological aspects of geothermal energy development are first
discussed in general terms. An instructive case study is then presented
of a hypothetical 100 MW geothermal electrical generating plant at
a site near Vale, Oregon. Long-term climate data from Ontario Airport
near Ontario, Oregon, are used to describe meteorological characteristics
of...
As competing uses of our coastlines increase, natural resource agencies are employing marine spatial planning (MSP) to designate areas for different uses or activities in order to reduce conflicts while achieving ecological, economic and social objectives. A central challenge of implementing MSP is development of a rigorous approach for analyzing...
Hydrodynamic effects play important roles in fluidized bed
combustion processes. Since the motion of "bubbles" is an important
influence on fluidized bed heat transfer, a better understanding of their
behavior is necessary for improving the design of fluidized bed boilers.
Using a two-dimensional bed, silica sand particles were fluidized with...
In 2011, a study by Freeman and Wornell uncovered that social service providers in Klamath County believed Native American children experiencing maltreatment might be slipping through the cracks. In an effort to find out how to better serve these children and their families, the current study involved interviews with 11...
The effect of the conjugation with cyclopropyl rings
on the activation parameters for the formation of
carbenes from the corresponding diazo compounds was
investigated using diisopropylcarbene (46), cyclopropyl-isopropylcarbene
(47), and dicyclopropylcarbene (48).
Each of these three carbenes was generated by the
thermolysis of the parent benzenesulfonylhydrazone
potassium salts using DMSO...
In attempting to provide modern water and
sewerage services to the non-indigenous inhabitants of
Canadian Arctic communities, engineering modifications are
necessary owing to the presence of a continuous permafrost
zone and a severe climate. Modifications are constraints
on communities in that the costs of providing water and
sewerage services are...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common DNA polymorphisms in plant and animal genomes. SNPs were identified in the allele sequences of up to 12 sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes for a genome-wide sample of 81 loci originally mapped using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The RFLP loci...
