Interpreting a weird and scenic landscape to park visitors : tectonic and volcanic processes of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, Idaho

Creator:: Truitt, Kimberly E.
Abstract:: This thesis develops a geology training manual for the Interpretation staff of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve (CRMO) in southern Idaho. The manual will help the staff convey geologic principles to park visitors who are experiencing a landscape formed by volcanic processes. Basic geology and the most...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Automatic program generation for scientific computing

Creator:: Fu, Zhe
Abstract:: The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: described Fortran extension has also been successfully employed implementing the generic inverse ocean

Studying fusion reactions for effect of PCN on heavy nucleus formation and for nuclear structure effects

Creator:: Naik, Radhika
Abstract:: The fusion reaction ²⁰⁸Pb (⁵⁰Ti, xn) ²⁵⁸⁻x Rf (x = 1-3) was studied to determine PCN (probability that the mononucleus system evolves to form a compound nucleus inside the fission saddle point) and to establish the value of Wsur (survival probability) for the given reaction experimentally. The fission excitation function...

Ecology of the northern subpopulation of northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) in the California Current large marine ecosystem

Creator:: Litz, Marisa N. C.
Abstract:: Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) are a dominant forage fish in the California Current large marine ecosystem (CCLME). However, little is known about northern anchovy abundance, distribution, age structure, or population fluctuations relative to ocean conditions in the eastern boundary upwelling system off the U.S. West Coast. This thesis includes three...

Population demography, resource use, and movement in cooperatively breeding Micronesian Kingfishers

Creator:: Kesler, Dylan C.
Abstract:: Island systems and species are susceptible to extinction because of their small population size and an ecological naiveté from an evolutionary past lacking strong competition and predation. For example, only one-fifth of the world’s bird species occur on islands, yet more than 90% of the avian extinctions witnessed during historic...

Northern goshawk breeding habitat selection within high-elevation forests of southwestern Colorado

Creator:: Ferland, Cheron L.
Abstract:: The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is a species of concern in the western United States due to its association with mature structural stage forests. I employed a use-versus-availability study design to quantify the vegetative, physiographic, and landscape variables associated with goshawk breeding habitat selection in the San Juan Mountains of...

Development of acoustic emissions testing procedures applicable to conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges subjected to diagonal tension cracking

Creator:: Lovejoy, Steven C.
Abstract:: A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health monitoring (SHM) system installed on...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: means of identifying the formation and extension of diagonal tension cracks as they developed

Serpentine and non-serpentine edaphic ecology and the recovery of Lomatium cookii (Apiaceae), an endangered endemic of southwest Oregon

Creator:: Silvernail, Ian S.
Abstract:: The role of unusual geologies in plant distribution and form is well-known. Serpentine (ultramafic) soils exert a particularly strong influence on plants, as evidenced by a high level of endemism and the morphological and physiological traits displayed in adaptation to the extraordinary chemistry of these substrates. Adaptation may lead to...

White-breasted nuthatch density and nesting ecology in oak woodlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Viste-Sparkman, Karen
Abstract:: Habitat loss causes a reduction in available resources for wildlife, alters the configuration of remaining habitat, and may isolate wildlife populations. White-breasted nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) are experiencing long-term population declines in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where they are historically associated with oak woodlands. As secondary cavity-nesters, white-breasted nuthatches may...

Genomic identification of candidate inclusion membrane proteins in Chlamydial species and microscopic analysis

Creator:: Blake, Nathanael A.
Abstract:: The Chlamydiaceae are a family of obligate intracellular bacteria with a unique biphasic developmental cycle. The replicating, metabolically active, intracellular phase bacteria (RBs) grow within a cellular vacuole know as the inclusion. Since the proteins the Chlamydiaceae secrete into this membrane are the means of host/parasite interaction, they have long...
