Context and Scale Mediate the Impact of Climate on a Widespread Avian Predator

Creator:: Brawner, Michael D.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic climate change is threatening biodiversity as I currently understand it. There is now a large body of work highlighting species responses, globally, to this threat. Importantly, responses at the species level emerge from responses at lower levels of biological organization (individuals and populations) across a species’ geographic range. For...

A study of turbulence in the viscous sublayer and logarithmic region of the bottom boundary layer

Creator:: Chriss, Terry Michael
Abstract:: Detailed current profiles between the sediment-water interface and 20 cm above it reveal a viscous sublayer in the bottom boundary layer on the Oregon continental shelf. Data from three field experiments are used to test fundamental assumptions about boundary layer flow in the ocean. The first study, discussed in Chapter...

Linking Space, Time, and Elevation through Diet: Stable Isotope Analysis of Functionally Diverse Rodents in the Great Basin

Creator:: Taylor, David S.
Abstract:: Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...

A phenomenological study of the coming out experience for gay men raised in conservative Christian environments

Creator:: McGlasson, Terry D.
Abstract:: This qualitative study explores the "coming out" experience of gay males raised in conservative Christian environments. Seven men with varying ethnic and racial backgrounds, between the ages of 20 and 40 years old, participated. Each was raised in a conservative, Christian environment during his formative years and each was now...

The application of item response theory in the cross-cultural validation of the physical estimation and attraction scale

Creator:: Charoenruk, Kongsak
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to (a) outline a three-stage methodology combining functional/conceptual equivalence, item equivalence, and equivalence in construct operationalization to investigate the cross-cultural validity of psychological test instruments, and (b) to examine the cross-cultural equivalence of the Physical Estimation and Attraction Scale (Sonstroem, 1978) for English-speaking and...

Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

Dogs, Death, and Dietary Breadth: Insights into the Macroecology and Macroevolution of Canidae

Creator:: Tanis, Brian P.
Abstract:: The size, shape, and stability of a species’ dietary niche can both influence and reflect a variety of biological patterns, including species interactions, extinction risk, and ecosystem function. This is particularly apparent when dietary changes manifest at ecosystem and clade scales to profoundly affect macroecological and macroevolutionary trajectories. However, many...

The relationship between burnout and selected demographic and job-related variables among Oregon public school teacher-coaches : identifying coping strategies

Creator:: Kosa, Boonsong
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to determine relationships between burnout and selected demographic and job-related variables and to identify burnout coping strategies commonly used by teacher-coaches in public secondary schools. A volunteer sample of 193 teacher-coaches responded to a three-section questionnaire composed of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Jaloweic...

The exercise motivation scale : its multifaceted structure and construct validity

Creator:: Li, Fuzhong
Abstract:: Building upon Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991) self-determination theory as well as previous empirical work on motivation, the present study was designed to develop a multifaceted 31-item Exercise Motivation Scale (EMS). A series of pilot studies were first conducted in order to generate the 31 scale items. The EMS was...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
