Physical processes that control droplet transport in rock fracture systems

Creator:: Hay, Katrina M.
Abstract:: Aquifer recharge is generally driven by fluids that move from the Earth’s surface to groundwater through the unsaturated zone, also known as the vadose zone. When the vadose zone is fractured, fluids, which may include contaminants, can move through the fracture network as well as the porous matrix. Such a...

The effects of increased enrollment of international students on student services at six Washington State community colleges

Creator:: Acob-Nash, Maria
Abstract:: Institutions of higher education face a global mandate, understanding and addressing the concept of internationalization in the 21st century. As the world becomes "smaller", there is a need for college students to expand their awareness and understanding of multinational cultures and issues. Recently, many four-year colleges and universities have taken...

Movement of zoospores of Phytophthora citricola in saturated porous media

Creator:: Ochiai, Naoyuki
Abstract:: The genus Phytophthora comprises numerous plant pathogens in both natural and managed ecosystems. For Phytophthora spp. that infect roots, dispersal occurs in soil water through a combination of advection and swimming of specialized motile propagules (zoospores). Specific biological and physico-chemical processes, however, remain poorly understood, due to difficulties in studying...

Genesis of iron oxides in unsaturated porous media

Creator:: Grover, Deeksha
Abstract:: The kinetics of physical and chemical processes controlling the precipitation of iron oxide minerals in unsaturated media were investigated in this study. The characteristic morphology, mineralogy, and chemistry of iron oxides were also explored. Laboratory column experiments using fine and coarse grades of silica sand were conducted to compare the...

An analysis of Maria Montessori’s theory of normalization in light of emerging research in self-regulation

Creator:: Lloyd, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: The regulation of behavior is a major issue in early childhood development, with important implications for children’s adaptive and maladaptive developmental outcomes. Emerging research suggests that the degree of successful self-regulation depends upon the efficiency of the child’s attentional system and that the ability to focus and sustain attention supports...

Hydrological consequences of two native shrubs in semi-arid Senegal : patterns, processes, concepts and methods

Creator:: Kizito, Fred
Abstract:: Water availability is a critical limiting element in semi-arid ecosystem productivity and presents particular challenges in Sahelian countries such as Senegal. The landscapes are characterized by the presence of two common semi-arid shrubs (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis), both of which may be important hydraulic regulators in these water-limited ecosystems....

The Role of Cellular Senescence in the Development of Alzheimer's Disease

Creator:: Riordan, Ruben
Abstract:: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative pathology currently affecting nearly 44 million individuals worldwide, yet there are not currently any effective treatments or preventions for AD despite the rapid development in our understanding of the disease over the last four decades. The medical and sanitary innovations of the last century...

Determinants of public opinion on renewable energy : the case of wave energy development in Oregon

Creator:: Stefanovich Petrova, Maria A.
Abstract:: Renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar, and wave, have a number of advantages compared to traditional fossil fuels. Numerous studies attest to the physical potential for wave energy development in Oregon. In transitioning from conventional fossil fuel to alternative energy provision, citizen understanding of the global energy problems and...

Modeling Survival of Soilborne Phytophthora spp. and Characterizing Microbial Communities in Response to Soil Solarization and Biocontrol Amendment in Container Nursery Beds

Creator:: Funahashi, Fumiaki
Abstract:: In horticultural nurseries for container-grown plants, production and sales have been threatened by the presence of a quarantined plant pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum (causal agent of sudden oak death). Infested nursery beds are an important source of P. ramorum, which can initiate disease through movement with surface water to infect roots...

Approaches for Characterizing Plant Physiological Responses to Environmental Stress

Creator:: Marias, Danielle E.
Abstract:: It is uncertain how predicted changes in climate will impact vegetation responses and plant species’ distributions because the physiological mechanisms underlying thresholds for damage are not well understood, and responses to stress vary by functional type and developmental stage. Thus, it is crucial to investigate physiological responses to heat and...
