John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

Creator:: Lester, Jacob Franklin
Abstract:: Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

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...

John Wesley Powell : science and reform in a positive context

Creator:: Zernel, John Joseph, 1945-
Abstract:: John Wesley Powell worked actively for public land system reform while a director of geographical and geological surveys in the West from 1869 to 1894. Although this has won him acclaim as a conservationist, the basis of Powell's linkage of reform with scientific work is poorly understood. A study of...

Nearctic sawflies I, the adults and larvae of the subfamily Blennocampinae (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)

Creator:: Smith, David R.
Abstract:: Seventy-two species of Blennocampinae in 21 genera and six tribes are known from the Nearctic region. The adults and known larvae of all species and genera are keyed, described and illistrated. A definition of the subfamily, a review of previous work, a table of host-plant associations, and a discussion of...

Toward understanding the nature of the soil microsite in relation to nitrogen and carbon cycling

Creator:: Cliff, John B.
Abstract:: My research has focused on understanding N and C cycling in soils at small scales. Isotope dilution methods commonly used to estimate gross rates of soil chemical transformations assume homogeneous distribution of label. I explored the effects of diffusion limitations on isotope dilution experiments in soil aggregates using spherical diffusion-reaction...

Population and behavioral responses of small mammals to silviculture and downed wood treatments in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Waldien, David L.
Abstract:: Forest managers are challenged to provide timber revenues and other resources for society while protecting and enhancing components of biodiversity that are often associated with older forests or older forest structure, such as dead wood. We examined small mammal response to timber harvest in stands 8-10 years following group-selection, two-story,...

Characterization of hydrologic parameters and processes in shrink-swell clay soils

Creator:: Stewart, Ryan D.
Abstract:: Vertisols and other vertic-intergrade soils are found all over the globe, including many agricultural and urban areas. These soils are characterized by their cyclical shrinking and swelling behaviors, where bulk density and porosity distribution both vary as functions of time and/or soil moisture. In turn, alterations in physical soil parameters...

Bridging Ways of Knowing to Model the Dynamics of Fire as an Ecocultural Process on Frequent Fire Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Greenler, Skye M.
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have intensified in many ecosystems across the western United States due to the combined impact of fire exclusion, climate change, and land management practices. However, on many of these landscapes, fire is a fundamental ecological process that has shaped vegetation structural and compositional diversity, ecosystem function, landscape pattern,...

Nitrogen nutrition of seedling alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Creator:: Eardly, Bertrand D.
Abstract:: Nitrogen fertilization of seedling legumes is a controversial practice intended to provide N to the plant during periods when seed N, soil N, and N₂ fixation may not meet plant requirements; eg. prenodulation, postharvest, or in the event of an inoculation failure. Field experiments were conducted in 3 consecutive years...
