Evaluating benthic macroinvertebrates as bio-indicators of freshwater habitat quality in an eastern Oregon agro-ecosystem

Creator:: Scherr, Melissa A.
Abstract:: The effect of anthropogenic disturbance on river systems is gaining attention, and concerns about the state of freshwater natural resources are increasing globally, as are efforts to restore habitat that has been degraded by disturbance. In rivers, non-point source pollution affects the physical characteristics of the habitat and the endemic...

Genomics of migration : from marine distributions of salmonids to mechanisms of olfactory and magnetic cue perception for natal homing

Creator:: Bellinger, M. Renee
Abstract:: Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception....

Out-of-pile blowdown critical heat flux experiment

Creator:: Moussaoui, Musa A.
Abstract:: In the most challenging nuclear power plant accidents, transient critical heat flux (CHF) is a primary phenomenon that drives peak cladding temperature and ultimately fuel failure. It is not yet determined whether the use of steady-state CHF methods can accurately predict transient CHF under the conditions of a blowdown due...

Three-dimensional experiments and modeling of anisotropic clay

Creator:: Anantanasakul, Pongpipat
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of a research effort conducted to better understand the stress-strain, volume change, shear band formation, and strength characteristics of normally consolidated anisotropic clay under fully three-dimensional stress states. A series of consolidated drained true triaxial tests with a constant mean effective stress and constant Lode...

Analysis of meteorological and oceanographic data from Ocean Station Vessel N (30N 140W)

Creator:: Dorman, Clive Edgar
Abstract:: The thesis examines the principal air-sea properties at Ocean Station Vessel N (30N 140W). In a descriptive section, meteorological and oceanographic data for N are analyzed over 20 years (1951-1970) and 7 years (1964-1970), respectively. A rainfall estimate is constructed for the 20 year period. The yearly average rainfall is...

High-Energy Lithium-Sulfur Batteries and Non-Metallic Ion Aqueous Batteries: Integrating Experiment and Theoretical Modeling

Creator:: Shin, Woochul
Abstract:: Humanities have been craving more freedom and conveniences in whatever form. Carriages evolved to cars and ultimately to aircraft so that one can reach any place in the globe within a day. The mobile phone has enabled people to make a phone call without a need to find a phone...

Second nature : domestication as experiment and metaphor in 20th century American psychobiology

Creator:: Blanchard, Nicholas
Abstract:: By 1900 domestication was a promising, if somewhat vexed, subject in biology. Volumes had been written about domestication, but little serious scientific inquiry was directed toward the phenomenon. Expertise lay with practical men, primarily breeders and fanciers. The bulk of scientific commentary on domestication came from anthropologists who derived theories...

Experiments and Observations on How Changes in Riparian Forests Affect Light and Stream Ecosystems

Creator:: Swartz, Allison G.
Abstract:: Riparian zones are ecotones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Processes in streams are strongly influenced by riparian forest communities, age, stage and structure. Temperate forests across much of North America, including riparian areas, are recovering from historic land clearing with many stands in the stem-exclusion phase of development in which...
