Relationship of "near-lethal" stress on dormancy, cold hardiness and recovery of Red-Osier dogwood

Creator:: Shirazi, Abbas M.
Abstract:: The effects of overcoming rest by application of "near-lethal" (NL) stress treatments on the subsequent development of cold hardiness of stem tissues of red-osier dogwood, Comus sericea L., at different rest stages under three post-environments (0°, 23°, and natural condition) were studied. NL-heat stress (47°C for one hour) treatment during...

Chest/breast protectors for female athletes : cushioning properties and effect on selected physiological and performance variables

Creator:: Lawson, LaJean
Abstract:: Female participation in high-contact sports has increased dramatically in the past two decades, raising concern regarding injury to the female breast and the need for protective equipment. While the use of chest/breast protectors by women is advocated, little is known of their efficacy and effect on athletic performance. The purpose...

Implications of cougar prey selection and demography on population dynamics of elk in northeast Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Darren A.
Abstract:: Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni; hereafter elk) populations in northeast Oregon have declined in the past 10 to 20 years. Concurrent with these declines, cougar (Puma concolor) populations have apparently increased, leading to speculation that predation by cougars may be responsible for declining...

Linking Moral Obligations, Assumption-based Research, and Structured Decision Making to Inform Bull Trout Recovery

Creator:: Brignon, William R.
Abstract:: More than 1500 species of plants and animals in the United States are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The U.S. Departments of Interior and Commerce are required, under Section 4(f)(1) of the ESA, to develop recovery plans for ESA-listed species under the respective agency...

On Morality, Psychology, and Conservation: An Interdisciplinary Appraisal of Ethics in Context

Creator:: Batavia, Chelsea K.
Abstract:: Conservation is, among other things, the expression of a relationship between humans and nonhuman nature. This relationship can be described empirically using the methods of social science, but it can also be prescribed in the form of philosophical arguments. Scholars in the field of environmental ethics have discussed and debated...

Landscape-Level Approaches to Desert Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) Conservation in a Changing Environment

Creator:: Creech, Tyler G.
Abstract:: Landscape characteristics can strongly influence demographic and genetic processes in wildlife populations. Climate change and human land use are causing many landscapes to change rapidly, and the effects on wildlife populations must be understood to properly manage these threats and design effective conservation strategies. In this dissertation, I explored the...

Politicized Collective Illness Identity and Boundary-Spanning in Western Montanan Community Health Workers: An Ethnographic Study

Creator:: McQuillan, Kindra
Abstract:: Background: Against global health disparities and a shortfall of medical personnel, community health workers (CHWs) promise a solution based in lived experience and connection to the health system. To address global and upstream health determinants, CHW programs engage the perspectives of both the workers they employ and the communities they...

Population viability analysis of endangered plant species : an evaluation of stochastic methods and an application to a rare prairie plant

Creator:: Kaye, Thomas N.
Abstract:: Transition matrix models are one of the most widely used tools for assessing population viability. The technique allows inclusion of environmental variability, thereby permitting estimation of probabilistic events, such as extinction. However, few studies use the technique to compare the effects of management treatments on population viability, and fewer still...

An Experimental and Analytical Investigation of the Parameters that Influence Measured CO₂ in Plagioclase-Hosted Melt Inclusions in MORBs

Creator:: Drignon, Melissa J.
Abstract:: To understand the processes that lead to the formation of the oceanic crust, one must know the composition and the depth at which primary melts originate. Towards this end, this dissertation focuses on plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions from plagioclase ultraphyric basalts (PUBs). Plagioclase is usually considered to be the second phase,...

Integrative risk analysis of vector-borne disease

Creator:: Orme Zavaleta, Jennifer
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the application of two novel modeling techniques for improving risk analysis of vector-borne disease and discuss their potential use in integrating environmental risk assessment that guides environmental and public health decisions. Techniques for analyzing risk have been considered inadequate due to a lack of understanding...
