Mormons and evolution : a history of B. H. Roberts and his attempt to reconcile science and religion

Creator:: Reid, Tim S.
Abstract:: Although much has been written describing the various reactions to the origin of Species in America, the Mormon reaction to Darwinism has been largely ignored. This dissertation will recount the history of this reaction as exemplified by the life and works of B. H. Roberts. Roberts's intellectual pursuits early in...

Transboundary groundwater : geopolitical consequences, commons sense, and the law of the hidden sea

Creator:: Jarvis, William Todd
Abstract:: With 97% of the world’s freshwater resources stored underground, the connection between groundwater resources to the metrics of space, scale and time common to the geographic study of natural resources has not been extensively investigated by geographers. While nearly 240 transboundary aquifers are mapped across the world, a potential “tragedy”...

Unraveling tissue regeneration using chemical genetics

Creator:: Mathew, Lijoy K.
Abstract:: The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Influences of island characteristics on community structure and species incidence of desert bats in a near-shore archipelago, Baja California, Mexico

Creator:: Frick, Winifred F.
Abstract:: Island biogeography has strongly influenced the study of biodiversity because archipelagos provide natural model systems for investigating patterns of diversity and the processes that shape ecological communities. I investigated the influence of area and isolation of islands (n = 32) in the Gulf of California, Mexico on patterns of richness,...

Enhancing community college revenue sources by leveraging land resources

Creator:: Scott, Cheryl L.
Abstract:: Community colleges are experiencing a decline in state allocated funding. Traditionally, college administrators look for ways to cut expenditures and raise tuition and fees to make up for the shortfall. Using available land resources to generate a revenue stream may provide revenue for community colleges. The purpose of this study...

Chlordecone (CD), a mixed steroid X receptor (SXR) and estrogen receptor alpha(ERα) agonist, altered hepatic cholesterol (CH) homeostasis and lipoprotein metabolism

Creator:: Lee, Junga
Abstract:: Overtly non-toxic doses of organochlorine (OC) insecticides perturb lipid homeostasis in mice and rats. To increase understanding of how chlordecone (CD), an OC insecticide, modulates cholesterol (CH) homeostasis, we determined the effect of CD pretreatment on the tissue and hepatic subcellular distribution of exogenous [¹⁴C]CH. Corn oil alone or CD...

Development and characterization of novel hydrogels for nucleus pulposus replacement

Creator:: Bader, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Hydrogels have been proposed as candidates for nucleus pulposus replacement due to their similarity in mechanical behavior to the native tissue when subjected to transient or static loading; however, given the viscoelastic nature of soft biological tissues, the lack of dynamic testing is a significant inadequacy in the studies performed...

If you build it, will they come? Evolution towards the application of multi-dimensional GIS to fisheries-oceanography

Creator:: Vance, Tiffany C.
Abstract:: The development of new technologies in science is a balance between existence and use. There are three versions of this duality – something is built and users come, something is built and users don’t come, and, finally, potential users show up but the ballpark has not yet been built. In...

Salt marsh reestablishment following dike breaching in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Mitchell, Diane Lynne
Abstract:: A 22 ha, 1S yeas old, diked permanent pasture in the Salmon River estuary in Lincoln County, Oregon, was chosen for a study to determine the potential for natural salt marsh restoration with dike breaching. Two undiked fragments of relatively undisturbed salt marsh, one at each end of the study...
