  • Structural interpretation of the eastern Sulaiman foldbelt and foredeep, Pakistan

    Creator:
    Humayon, Mansoor
    Abstract:
    The Sulaiman foldbelt is an active and conspicuous tectonic feature on the northwestern margin of the Indo-Pakistani plate. Seismic reflection data have been combined with surface geological mapping and drillhole data to interpret the structural style and tectonic shortening of the eastern Sulaiman foldbelt and its adjacent foredeep. The data...

  • Challenges to stakeholder participation in coastal resource management : Allen, Northern Samar, Philippines

    Creator:
    Ulrich, Donald R.
    Abstract:
    Collaborative management of subsistence fisheries in the Philippines requires policies that devolve authority to the local level. This involves creating mechanisms to hold managers accountable for creating opportunities for active participation by fisher folk communities.

  • Mitigating cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms : the role of plant humics

    Creator:
    Theis, Susan A. F.
    Abstract:
    Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....

  • Second harmonic generation in polyacetylene

    Creator:
    Kircher, Jens
    Abstract:
    This study investigates nonlinear optical properties of matter. Nonlinear optical effects have found a wide field of applications such as the extension of the operation range of lasers to higher frequencies, material probes and optical image processing. A brief introduction to the most common nonlinear optical phenomena is given and...

  • A Practical, Ethical Critique of Hydraulic Fracturing and the Shale Gas Extraction Process

    Creator:
    Bullock, Claude George, III
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes the emerging technology of hydraulic fracturing and shale gas extraction process through a pluralistic philosophical approach. Rather than defending traditional values in nature, such as intrinsic value, I defend a metaphilosophical pragmatism centered on policy implications. I argue that different philosophical positions will, most of the time,...

  • Ethics and Human Biomedical Enhancement : A Case for Compatibilism

    Creator:
    White, Benjamin A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores some of the ethical issues pertaining to the use of so-called radical enhancement technology. Key concepts analyzed include “normal function”, “human being”, and “personhood.” I argue that the use of these key concepts in the debate thus far has lacked philosophical rigor, and that a reexamination of...

  • The effect of prerigor electrical stimulation pH decline, protein solubility and water holding capacity in beef muscles

    Creator:
    Elkhalifa, Elamin Abdalla
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to investigate the rate of pH decline, changes in protein solubility and in the water-holding capacity (WHC) of beef muscles subjected to pre-rigor electrical stimulation. Samples for the experiment were obtained from animals slaughtered at the Meat Science Laboratory, Oregon State University. Nine good quality steers...
