The role of lutein and zeaxanthin in protecting the retina from light damage

Creator:: Derenick, Rhianna A.
Abstract:: Purpose: The xanthophyll carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the macula lutea of the retina. It is thought that the two plant pigments may play a role in preventing the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Exposure to damaging light plays a role in retinal deterioration and AMD. The...

The development and application of benthic classifications for coral reef ecosystems below 30 m depth using multibeam bathymetry : Tutuila, American Samoa

Creator:: Lundblad, Emily Ruth
Abstract:: Coral reef ecosystems are the most diverse on earth, and their subsistence is being threatened by natural and adverse anthropogenic patterns and processes. In an effort to understand and protect these marine environments, several programs have outlined strategies and initiatives. For example, the United States Coral Reef Task Force’s Mapping...

Geographic information systems for coral reef conservation, capacity building, and public education in American Samoa

Creator:: Larkin, Emily M.
Abstract:: Coral reefs around the world face numerous threats, both natural and anthropogenic, including pollution, natural disasters, invasive species, habitat destruction, and destructive methods of fishing. Given enough time, coral can recover from natural disasters, but anthropogenic threats decrease corals’ ability to recover from things such as hurricanes. It is difficult...

Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:: Sinkhorn, Emily R.
Abstract:: Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...

Can growth strata identify individual paleoearthquakes and characterize fold kinematics? A case study from the La Laja fault system, Sierra de Villicum, Argentina

Creator:: Schultz, Emily S.
Abstract:: A large, damaging earthquake in 1944 on a blind thrust fault caused 60 cm of surface rupture on the subsidiary La Laja fault and additional unmeasured growth of an associated backlimb fold. Both the fold and fault are components of the La Laja Fault System (LLFS) located 25 km northeast...

Heavy fermion effective mass in the superconducting vortex state

Creator:: Townsend, Emily A.
Abstract:: The extended-Lifshitz-Kosevitch formalism (ELK) unifies the treatment of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect, allowing it to transcend its traditional roles of mapping Fermi surfaces and measuring effective masses. Here we exploit the capabilities of dHvA as a probe of many-body effects to examine heavy-fermion su- perconductivity. ELK successfully describes...

Sediment transfer and storage in headwater basins of the Oregon Coast Range : transit times from 14C dated deposits

Creator:: Underwood, Emily F.
Abstract:: In steep headwater basins of the Oregon Coast Range (OCR), debris flows episodically deliver material from low-order tributary basins to larger catchments. Much of this material is stored in valleys and gradually removed by fluvial processes. Quantifying the transfer of material from hillslopes to mainstem channels is essential in understanding...

Community gradients of Arctic macrolichens in relation to succession, grazing and the environment

Creator:: Holt, Emily A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this dissertation was to define macrolichen community gradients in relation to succession, grazing and the environment. First, species scores indicating when macrolichen species appeared following disturbance were derived from the literature. Weighted averaging of these data with a community matrix created a successional score for each sample...

The Forest Field Program : a case study in forest education for Latino youth

Creator:: Gonzalez, Emily A.
Abstract:: This study involved the development of two bilingual and inquiry-based forest education programs within the Central Willamette Valley of Oregon. The first program used the participatory research (PR) process to engage 7th and 8th grade Latino students as participatory researchers to interview members of their community to learn their perspectives...

Free-choice family learning in a bilingual marine science program : a qualitative investigation of interactions and long-term impacts among Mexican-descent families

Creator:: Schmoock, Heidi I.
Abstract:: In the past most research of family learning in informal science learning environments has included limited diversity among participants considering ethnic, cultural, and social economic status. The diversity seen in informal learning environments such as museums does not typically reflect that of the general population. Therefore, in order to foster...
