Geoarchaeological research within five river miles of the Upper Klamath River Canyon : use of pedogenic properties to calculate alluvial terrace age

Creator:: Hescock, Sara
Abstract:: Soil is a valuable medium when investigating the past-- from understanding rates of development, landform evolution, to the construction of various predictive models. Landforms and sediments provide insight into depositional environments and soil morphology indicates pedogenic change within those landforms. The rate at which pedogenesis occurs has been quantitatively measured...

Generalization of the Ostrowski-Schneider main inertia theorem

Creator:: Hill, Richard David
Abstract:: As indicated by the title, this thesis generalizes the Main Inertia Theorem of Ostrowski and Schneider [8]. The first three results concern the formation of a polynomial function f(A, A*, H) so that the existence of an hermitian H for which f(A, A*, H) is positive definite is a necessary...

Morphological and cytological variation in Trillium albidum Freeman (Liliaceae)

Creator:: Bledsoe, Karen E.
Abstract:: This work was performed on Trillium albidum Freeman (Liliaceae), to clarify the pattern of morphological variation between the small-flowered populations at the northern limit of its range ( T. parviflorum Soukup) and the larger-flowered populations from southern Oregon and northern California. It was hypothesized that only a single species of...

Making a New Mexican Cuisine: An Exploratory Study of Food Security and the Cultivation of Culinary Subjectivities in a First-generation Mexican Immigrant Community

Creator:: Esteban, Emily E.
Abstract:: In 2010, Mexican cuisine was declared as intangible cultural heritage, integral to Mexican identity and necessary to preserve for the good of humanity. Despite this recognition, first-generation Mexican communities in the United States face an exacerbated likelihood of experiencing food insecurity.
