Aspects of the foraging ecology of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage, Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Szabo, Andrew R.
Abstract:: The North Pacific humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) population has been increasing at an average annual rate of ~6% since the early 1990s. In northern Southeast Alaska alone, there are now more whales than estimated for the entire North Pacific several decades ago. An understanding of how this growing population is...

Extension and volcanism : tectonic development of the northwestern margin of the Basin and Range Province in southern Oregon

Creator:: Scarberry, Kaleb C.
Abstract:: The northwestern corner of the Basin and Range Province (NWBR) lies in southeast Oregon where extensive Late Miocene, mafic to bimodal basalt-rhyolite volcanism and extensional faults dominate a stark and arid landscape. Near Lake Abert, the Late Miocene volcanic section abuts Early Miocene, dominantly intermediate composition volcanoes at the Coleman...

The Deschutes Formation: evidence of extension-enhanced explosivity in the early High Cascades

Creator:: Pitcher, Bradley W.
Abstract:: The eruptive history of the Quaternary Cascades arc has been relatively well characterized. However, much less is known about the frequency and sizes of explosive eruptions produced by earlier stages of the arc. The Late Neogene Deschutes Formation of Central Oregon preserves a remarkable record of heightened pyroclastic activity during...

Salt and polyelectrolyte affect on food colloid function : polygalacturonic acid and egg albumen case studies

Creator:: Chen, Chi-Shen
Abstract:: The primary purpose of this study was to try to (1) provide information on the chemical nature, including turbidity formation, of polygalacturonic acid in different concentrations of NaCl solution. (2) use turbidity formation characteristics to develop an assay for determining the activities polygalacturonic acid depolymerases by using a polyelectrolyte. (3)...

An environmental history of Euphoria Ridge, Oregon : a case study for ethnobotany in traditional resource management

Creator:: Fluharty, Suzanne M.
Abstract:: This dissertation looks at one landscape component of the Coquille Indian Tribe's ancestral lands in order to understand the place meaning created and assigned to Euphoria Ridge, Oregon. I focus on three cultural overlays across time that together with the unique biophysical components, generate an importance for the locale to...

Using parasite community data and population genetics for assessing Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) population structure along the west coast of North America

Creator:: Baldwin, Rebecca E. B.
Abstract:: Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax) are an economically and ecologically important forage fish which transfer energy from planktonic primary producers and secondary consumers to upper trophic predators. Previous genetics studies of Pacific sardine suggested a panmictic population with a shallow genetic structure. However, more than one subpopulation within the Central California...

The influence of biophysical feedbacks and species interactions on grass invasions and coastal dune morphology in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Zarnetske, Phoebe Lehmann
Abstract:: Biological invasions provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that regulate community composition and ecosystem function. Invasive species that are also ecosystem engineers can substantially alter physical features in an environment, and this can lead to cascading effects on the biological community. Aquatic-terrestrial interface ecosystems are excellent systems to...

A chemical and petrographic study of refractory inclusions from Kaba (CV3) chondrite

Creator:: Liu, Yun-gang
Abstract:: Refractory inclusions from Kaba (CV3) chondrite were studied by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The inclusions observed cover a wide range of chemical patterns, mineral assemblages and textures, indicating the complexity of early solar nebular conditions. The elemental abundances normalized by Cl chondritic abundances vary...

Comparisons of teacher control ideology and student attitudes in elementary Christian schools

Creator:: Clark, Larry R.
Abstract:: This research project compared teacher attitude using the Pupil Control Ideology Form with student attitude using the Arlin-Hills Student Attitude Survey. P.C.I. Forms were collected from 834 teachers from 95 elementary Christian schools in several states. A total of 1074 student attitude surveys were collected from Christian school students in...
