  • Investigating connections between the circadian system and aging in Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Long, Dani M.
    Abstract:
    Circadian clocks coordinate molecular, cellular, physiological, and behavioral processes with the 24-hour solar day. While clock functions are well understood in young animals, it is not clear how aging or neurodegenerative disease affects the various levels of the circadian system. A common symptom of many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease...

  • An examination of Oregon Writing Project teachers : a qualitative study of professional development experiences

    Creator:
    Obery, Angela D.
    Abstract:
    This qualitative study examined the influence of the 2011 Oregon Writing Project (OWP) Summer Institute (SI) on the professional development of six teachers in the following ways: 1. The development of case descriptions of teachers' personal and professional backgrounds relevant to their teaching of writing. 2. An examination of the...

  • Long Term Trends and Sources of Sound in United States Waters

    Creator:
    Haver, Samara M.
    Abstract:
    Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for observing the status of marine environments. Comparisons of underwater soundscapes over temporal and spatial scales can provide data to inform marine conservation efforts, including protection of threatened and endangered species. This dissertation utilizes passive acoustic data collected via a broadly spaced array...

  • Some aspects of currents in Long Island Sound

    Creator:
    Swanson, R. Lawrence (Robert Lawrence), 1938-
    Abstract:
    Current observations were obtained at three locations forming a cross section along 70°34'W longitude in Long Island Sound. Fifteen days of data were selected from each series so that nearly simultaneous observations were used in the analysis. Elementary statistics were computed for the data prior to performing a least squares...

  • Presence, relative abundance, and resource selection of bats in managed forest landscapes in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Arnett, Edward B.
    Abstract:
    I studied presence, relative abundance, and resource selection of bats in managed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests in western Oregon from May through September, 1999–2001. Species richness was not related to elevation, density of snags, or length of edge or perennial streams in sampled landscapes. I captured bats more frequently in...

  • Chaos in a long rectangular wave channel

    Creator:
    Bowline, Cynthia M.
    Abstract:
    The Melnikov method is applied to a model of parametrically generated cross-waves in a long rectangular channel in order to determine if these cross-waves are chaotic. A great deal of preparation is involved in order to obtain a suitable form for the application of the Melnikov method. The Lagrangian for...

  • Moving Towards Academic Success and Life Long Learning

    Creator:
    Becker, Derek R.
    Abstract:
    Early learning skills, such as executive function (EF), are a key component of healthy development and predict long-term academic success. Yet many children are entering kindergarten without the necessary skills (including EF) that are needed to set them on a successful learning trajectory. Early prekindergarten classrooms that encourage a high...

  • Modeling shallow-water hydrodynamics : rotations, rips, and rivers

    Creator:
    Long, Joseph W.
    Abstract:
    Hydrodynamic models are used as a diagnostic tool to understand the temporal variability of shallow-water processes that are difficult to completely resolve with traditional field measurements. For all simulations, modeled quantities are qualitatively or quantitatively compared with available measurements to gain confidence in conclusions derived from the modeled results. In...

  • The Impacts of Urban Environmental Policies on Infant Birth Weight : Integrating Health and Sorting Models

    Creator:
    Long, Deng
    Abstract:
    Environmental regulations have contributed to environmental quality improvements over the past century in the U.S. Potential consequences of environmental regulations for economic growth and productivity have been widely examined in the economics literature. However, there’s limited research on how such policies affect human health, fetuses and infants especially. In this...
