The effect of temperature and salinity acclimation on the respiration rate of a marine polychaete, Serpula vermicularis L.

Creator:: Ikkanda, John Martin
Abstract:: In January 1970, collections of Serpula vermicularis L. were obtained from Bray Point, Oregon, for the purpose of determining the effect of acclimation to salinity and temperature on its rate of respiration. The worms were removed from their tubes and acclimated to one of three salinities (28.8%₀, 31.1%₀, or 35.9%₀)...

Formal Verification of the Variational Database Management System

Creator:: Khan, Fariba
Abstract:: Variation in data is abundant and ubiquitous in real-world applications. Managing variation in databases is, however, difficult and has been extensively studied by the database community. Schema evolution, data integration, and database versioning are examples of well-studied forms of database variation with effective context-specific solutions. However, variation appears in different...

Managing Complicity: Two German Doctors and the United States in the Twentieth Century

Creator:: Vaughn, Elizabeth P. C.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the origins and outcomes of Operation Paperclip, a program the U.S. government operated in the years immediately following WWII to recruit former Nazi doctors, scientists, and technicians, and capitalize on their research experience. As part of this operation, the U.S. welcomed two doctors who had conducted medical...

Gender Implications of Small Scale Urban Trade in Ukraine

Creator:: Kirillova, Lyudmila A.
Abstract:: This research project examines the growing informal sector of Ukrainian economy and the way global economic changes affect women's lives. It has been noticed by many Western researchers that women have been among the hardest hit by economic restructuring in Eastern Europe. Marginalization from the official labor force led a...

Efficient Oblivious Access to Trees

Creator:: Hackebeil, Gabriel A.
Abstract:: The outsourcing of data storage and related infrastructure to third-party services in the cloud is a trend that has gained considerable momentum in the last decade due to the savings it affords companies in both capital and operational costs. Although encryption can alleviate some of the privacy concerns associated with...

The Breeding Ecology and Foraging Niche of Aleutian Terns (Onychoprion aleuticus) in the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska

Creator:: Tengeres, Jill E.
Abstract:: The Aleutian tern (Onychoprion aleuticus) is a species of high conservation concern in Alaska due to large declines at known breeding locations since the 1960s. Due to the small population size and ephemeral behavior of this species on the nesting grounds, there is little basic biological information available and data...

Oxygenate Reactions over PdCu and PdAg Catalysts: Influence of Electronic and Geometric Effects

Creator:: Bathena, Tanmayi
Abstract:: Bimetallic catalysis is a promising way to tune the catalytic properties of heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, bimetallic catalysts are extensively used to enhance the selectivity of monometallic catalysts in a variety of contexts, from oxidation catalysis to oxygenate coupling. In this work, we investigate PdxCuy/SiO2 and PdxAgy/SiO2 catalysts in the...

In Search of the Carnivalesque: An Investigation of Carnival in Santiago de Cuba

Creator:: Nichol, Melanie
Abstract:: Carnival celebrations in Santiago de Cuba transform large swaths of the city for an anticipated week of festivities, during which Afro-Cuban dancers and musicians are center stage, performing a complicated statement of prescribed cultural ideology, historic acts of agency, and nationalism. A particularly revealing celebration, carnival can be understood as...

Fluorescence microscopy for detecting incipient decay and estimating residual strength of wood

Creator:: Lowell, Eini Carole
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to 1) develop a relatively quick staining procedure that would detect incipient decay by color differentiation under fluorescence, 2) quantitatively assess the amount of decay present with the use of an image analyzer, and 3) re/ate loss in strength at various decay levels to...
