Population demography, resource use, and movement in cooperatively breeding Micronesian Kingfishers

Creator:: Kesler, Dylan C.
Abstract:: Island systems and species are susceptible to extinction because of their small population size and an ecological naiveté from an evolutionary past lacking strong competition and predation. For example, only one-fifth of the world’s bird species occur on islands, yet more than 90% of the avian extinctions witnessed during historic...

Heavy fermion effective mass in the superconducting vortex state

Creator:: Townsend, Emily A.
Abstract:: The extended-Lifshitz-Kosevitch formalism (ELK) unifies the treatment of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect, allowing it to transcend its traditional roles of mapping Fermi surfaces and measuring effective masses. Here we exploit the capabilities of dHvA as a probe of many-body effects to examine heavy-fermion su- perconductivity. ELK successfully describes...

The effect of prepartum anionic diets on cortisol, adiponectin, and tumour necrosis factor-α expression at varying levels of body mass index in preparturient dairy cows: implications for insulin resistance

Creator:: Puntenney, Steven B.
Abstract:: Twenty-six Holstein and 18 Jersey multiparous cows in a randomized block design were assigned by calving date and breed to a non-anionic prepartum diet (CTRL) or a treatment diet containing a commercial anionic salt supplement (Animate®). Control and treatment diets were formulated to a dietary anion-cation difference (DCAD) of 21.3...

Primary production dynamics in the North Pacific subtropical gyre

Creator:: Corno, Guido
Abstract:: The North Pacific subtropical gyre (NPSG), once considered to be a biological desert due to low primary production (PP) and its associated variability, has been found more productive and variable than previously thought. The environmental conditions controlling this relatively high PP variability are yet to be elucidated, despite important implications...

The influence of selected factors on dentists’ delivery of a set of 5A-like intervention strategies for eating disorders in Oregon

Creator:: Elliott, Karen Marlene
Abstract:: Each year an estimated one million young women in the United States develop an eating disorder. Without early recognition of symptoms and early intervention/treatment, these eating disorders can lead to a host of chronic and debilitating illnesses. Tooth erosion is one of the first signs of an eating disorder, providing...

Diffuse deformation patterns along the North American plate boundary zone, offshore western United States

Creator:: Chaytor, Jason D.
Abstract:: Plate boundaries are commonly regions of complex, diffuse deformation with the motion across the boundary accommodated by numerous structural systems, rather than being narrow, discrete zones of deformation. One such boundary occurs where the North American plate makes contact with Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Pacific plates along the west...

Hydrology and geomorphic evolution of basaltic landscapes, High Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Jefferson, Anne (Anne Jarvis)
Abstract:: The basaltic landscapes of the Oregon High Cascades form a natural laboratory for examining how geologic setting and history influence groundwater flowpaths, streamflow sensitivity to climate, and landscape evolution. In the High Cascades, highly permeable young basaltic lavas form extensive aquifers. These aquifers are the dominant sources of summer streamflow...

Influence of vine vigor and shading in Pinot noir (Vitis vinifera L.) on the concentration and composition of phenolic compounds in grapes and wine

Creator:: Cortell, Jessica M.
Abstract:: In 2003 and 2004 vigor zones were delineated in two commercial vineyard sites based on vine growth variation to assess fruit and wine phenolic chemistry. In 2004, the effects of shading on the accumulation of phenolic compounds were also investigated. Model extractions were done from the shading experiment and the...

Functional relationships among vegetation, nocturnal insects, and bats in riparian areas of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Ober, Holly K.
Abstract:: Vegetation provides food for many insects, and many insects serve as food for bats. We investigated the linkages among these three trophic levels in riparian areas throughout the Oregon Coast Range by examining the influence of vegetation cover, composition, and structure on the activity of nocturnal insects and bats, the...

Geneticist L.C. Dunn : politics, activism, and community

Creator:: Gormley, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
Abstract:: L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and scientists....
