Construction of a model organism for performing calcium carbonate precipitation in a porous media reactor

Creator:: Kaufman, Megan J.
Abstract:: Aquifers are an important storage location and source of fresh groundwater. They may become polluted by a number of contaminants including mobile divalent radionuclides such as strontium-90 which is a byproduct of uranium fission. A method for remediating such divalent radionuclides is sequestration through co-precipitation into calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate...

Maternal Play Behaviors and Stress Response within a State-Based Parenting Education Program

Creator:: Ebadirad, Staci W.
Abstract:: The quality of parenting, in particular mother-child interactions, is important for children’s development. Sensitive and responsive interactions between the mother and child are linked to children’s language, emotion and behavioral regulation, brain development, and activity in the stress response system (NSCDC, 2007; Mintz et al., 2011, Gunnar & Quevedo, 2007)....

Teacher-Child Relationships and Preschool Teachers’ Attributions: Relations with Preschool Children’s Emotion Regulation and Emotion Knowledge

Creator:: Johnson, Maya E.
Abstract:: Emotional understanding is important for social connection and fulfilling relationships across the lifespan. Without these skills, relationships with others can feel chaotic, unpredictable, and unattainable, affecting a person’s health and well being. Early childhood is a critical time to learn and practice foundational emotional skills that build into skills needed...

Communities in Flux: The Influence of Hydroperiod on Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Temporary Ponds

Creator:: Kruse, Christi A.
Abstract:: A central theme of ecology is determining factors that influence species distributions. Within aquatic ecology, species present in flowing waters are primarily influenced by the natural flow patterns of the stream (natural flow regime paradigm) while explanations of species present in standing waters are further divided by habitat type. To...

Examining Wave Attenuation Rates and Subsurface Pore Pressures Across Three Marsh Restoration Sill Structures on a Sandy Bed

Creator:: Converse, Jordan D.
Abstract:: With rising sea levels and more frequent exposure to extreme storms, coastlines worldwide are vulnerable to increased erosion and loss of natural marsh lands. In an effort to lessen these impacts, there is a growing practice of adapting hard or “gray” coastline protection techniques to more nature-based features that promote...

An assessment of the reproductive cycle in black rockfish, Sebastes melanops (Girard, 1856) on the central Oregon Coast : a blood plasma protein and sex steroid used as potential indicators of sex and stage of gonadal maturity

Creator:: Martin-Mills, Brooke E.
Abstract:: Because of large declines in abundance of many Eastern Pacific rockfish populations (Genus Sebastes), there has been an increasing effort to improve our understanding of the role of spawning population characteristics and individual reproductive success in recruitment variability and population dynamics. Current methods for assessing sex and maturational status in...

A review of the Lepturinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Pacific Northwest, with special attention to the elderberry longhorn beetle, Desmocerus Dejean

Creator:: Schapker, Philip A.
Abstract:: Here presented is a photographic catalogue, a key, and literature review for the 35 genera and 90 species of lepturine longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) found in the Pacific Northwest. Several nomenclatural changes, recognized by the global taxonomic community, but previously unknown to North American authors, are adopted, and one new...

The Soundcheck of the Sea : Comparing Marine Soundscapes on a Continental Scale

Creator:: Haver, Samara M.
Abstract:: Monitoring marine ambient sound using standardized methods supports assessments of ocean sound levels across widespread ecosystems. This thesis quantifies differences among coastal and deep-water marine soundscapes in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The sources of sound in a soundscape are compartmentalized into three components and compared over time and among...

Provisioning, growth and survival of Adélie penguin chicks at Cape Crozier, Ross Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Jennings, Scott
Abstract:: Understanding the factors that contribute to or limit reproductive success is a fundamental objective of the field of ecology, providing insight into the ways ecosystems function and facilitating better management of natural resources. Behaviors that benefit offspring often increase costs to parents, and thus parents must adjust their level of...

Synthesis and evaluation of PEO-coated materials for microchannel-based hemodialysis

Creator:: Heintz, Keely
Abstract:: The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...
