Emily Dickinson : Sensibility Against Rational Religion

Creator:: Johnson, Wendy L. (Wendy Louise), 1951-
Abstract:: Emily Dickinson's religious poetry of the nineteenth century reveals a sensibility that resists traditional, orthodox Christianity. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate Dickinson's two-fold critique of rational religion. The poet does not merely oppose the existing pattern of interpretation with another; she questions the whole process of construing...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Toward making the invisible visible : studying science teaching self-efficacy beliefs

Creator:: Perkins, Catherine J.
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of two articles to be submitted for publication. The first, a literature review, makes visible common influences on science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and also points to potentially invisible validation concerns regarding the instrument used. The second investigates the participants' invisible science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and, through the...

Alkylation kinetics of the human retinoid X receptor α using cysteine as a local probe

Creator:: Vanegas, Juan Manuel
Abstract:: The unfolding of human retinoid X receptor α in the presence of the denaturant guanidine HCl was studied using stopped-flow absorbance spectroscopy. The protein's four native cysteine residues were mutated to obtain four single-cysteine mutants, each with the other three cysteine residues mutated to alanine. The thiols of these hRXRα...
