Vitamin E and the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein during zebrafish embryogenesis

Creator:: Miller, Galen W.
Abstract:: Vitamin E was first described in 1922 as an unknown factor required for impregnated rats to carry their offspring to term. In fact, when vitamin E was chemically characterized it was given the name "tocopherol" derived from the Greek: tokos = childbirth; phero = to bear; and –ol, indicating an...

Advancing Understanding of Changes in the Cryosphere of the Western United States and Alaska: A Case for the Importance of Spatial and Temporal Scaling

Creator:: Roberts-Pierel, Benjamin M.
Abstract:: The global cryosphere, defined as the world’s ice and snow covered regions, is a crucial water source for society and ecosystem functions, as well as an important regulator of the earth’s energy budget. Melt from glaciers and seasonal snow cover provides water for more than a sixth of the world’s...

Mining Landsat Time-series Imagery to Understand Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Urban Landscape: A Perspective from Local Climate Zone Mapping

Creator:: Xu, Chunxue
Abstract:: We live on an Urban Planet. The current unprecedented urbanization is accompanied by intensive land cover transition and demographic shifts from rural to urban livelihoods. Cities serve as cultural, economic, political centers that facilitate wealth creation and innovation of the society, sustaining human from multi-dimensions with large ecological footprints far...

Assessment of the neuropathological consequences of vitamin E deficiency

Creator:: McDougall, Melissa Quin
Abstract:: Cognitive impairment, or cognitive decline, a noticeable and measurable decline in cognitive abilities (e.g. memory and learning) that exceeds those attributed to normal aging, represents an early symptom of neurodegeneration and increased risk for progression to more severe dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). While the complex etiology of these...

Nanotoxicology to Nanotherapeutics : Prioritizing Hazard and Anticancer Efficacy of Nanomaterials using the Embryonic Zebrafish Model

Creator:: Wehmas, Leah C.
Abstract:: The numerous different types of nanomaterials and paucity of reliable in vivo information on toxicity has resulted in enduring uncertainties associated with health and safety risks, thereby slowing progress in nanotherapeutic assessment and development. This dissertation explores how the embryonic zebrafish model can be applied to prioritize commonly used nanomaterial...

Mapping Nearshore Bathymetry with Spaceborne Data Fusion and State Space Modeling

Creator:: Forfinski-Sarkozi, Nicholas A.
Abstract:: Despite numerous techniques for measuring and estimating water depth, bathymetry in the nearshore zone is notoriously difficult to map. Dangerous sea states, noisy environmental conditions, and expensive survey operations, particularly in remote areas, contribute to the difficulties of obtaining data along the coast. Global datasets, derived mainly from satellite altimetry...

Energetics and mechanics of swing phase during terrestrial locomotion

Creator:: Nelson, Frank E.
Abstract:: Previous attempts to understand the factors affecting the energetic cost of locomotion have found a direct link between the energetic cost and the mechanical work done during periods when the limb is in contact with the ground. However, when the limb is not in contact with the ground during the...

Reach scale sampling metrics and longitudinal pattern adjustments of small streams

Creator:: Robison, E. George
Abstract:: Several types of channel morphology measurement parameters used to characterize fish habitat of small streams are refined, developed and evaluated in terms of their accuracy, precision, and sensitivity to disturbance. Data for 74 stream reaches in Oregon and Alaska are used in analysis. Over half the reaches are from a...

Fighting and Foliage: Land System Dynamics in the Colombian Andes-Amazon region

Creator:: Murillo-Sandoval, Paulo J.
Abstract:: In the Colombian Amazon there has been a complex interplay of rebel groups’ control over land, drug trafficking, and absence of the Government of Colombia. Here, I use satellite remote sensing, ethnographic research and statistical models to provide insights into causal effect and causal mechanisms of land change and economic...

Advancements in the Monitoring of Forests and Quantification of Live Aboveground Biomass Using Moderate Resolution Spaceborne Multispectral Imagery and Synthetic Aperture Radar Data

Creator:: Kilbride, John B.
Abstract:: The objective of this dissertation is to enhance the monitoring of forest ecosystems through the utilization of remotely sensed data to address the exigencies posed by the Anthropocene. On a global scale, rising temperatures and fluctuating precipitation patterns have strained forests and produced shifts in natural disturbance regimes. Additionally, the...
