Capabilities of Detecting Medical Isotope Facilities through Radioxenon Sampling

Creator:: MacDougall, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Medical Isotopes are a necessity in modern medicine for cancer treatments and medical imaging. In order to ensure that the needs and demands are met for the medical procedures, facilities are put in place to produce these isotopes. There are over 25 different isotopes of interest being produced by more...

Piers Plowman, Healthcare Praxis, and the Corporal Mercies

Creator:: MacDougall, Eric W.
Abstract:: I argue that Matthew’s seven acts of corporal mercies provide a means of reading Piers Plowman within a framework familiar to medieval audiences, but also exposes the different models of health that are at work within the poem and the soteriological significance of these healths. In chapter one, I focus...

Two-stage opening of the northwestern basin and range in eastern Oregon : evidence from the Miocene Crane basin

Creator:: Milliard, Justin B.
Abstract:: New data are presented that provide evidence for the onset of extensional deformation in the Northwestern Basin and Range within 1 million years after the eruption of the Steens Basalt at 16.5 Ma. New geologic mapping (1:24,000), stratigraphic sections, and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of the Crane Basin rocks provide a control...

The Role of Plant-soil Feedback in the Invasion of Brachypodium sylvaticum in Douglas-fir Forests

Creator:: Esterson, Andrew
Abstract:: Invasive plants have the capacity to transform landscapes and alter ecosystem function, causing significant economic and ecological damage. These effects include displacement and reduction of native flora and fauna, altered fire regimes, modification of biotic and abiotic soil properties, as well as local, regional, and global economic impacts. With such...

Aspects of the foraging ecology of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage, Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Szabo, Andrew R.
Abstract:: The North Pacific humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) population has been increasing at an average annual rate of ~6% since the early 1990s. In northern Southeast Alaska alone, there are now more whales than estimated for the entire North Pacific several decades ago. An understanding of how this growing population is...

Regional Contingencies in the Relationship between Aboveground Biomass and Litter in the World’s Grasslands

Creator:: O’Halloran, Lydia R., Chu, Chengjin, Bakker, Jonathan D., Davies, Kendi F., Du, Guozhen, Firn, Jennifer, Hagenah, Nicole, Hofmockel, Kirsten S., Knops, Johannes M. H., Li, Wei, Melbourne, Brett A., Borer, Elizabeth T., Morgan, John W., Orrock, John L., Prober, Suzanne M., Stevens, Carly J., Seabloom, Eric W., MacDougall, Andrew S., Cleland, Elsa E., McCulley, Rebecca L., Hobbie, Sarah, Harpole, W. Stan, and DeCrappeo, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Based on regional-scale studies, aboveground production and litter decomposition are thought to positively covary, because they are driven by shared biotic and climatic factors. Until now we have been unable to test whether production and decomposition are generally coupled across climatically dissimilar regions, because we lacked replicated data collected within...

Eutrophication weakens stabilizing effects of diversity in natural grasslands

Abstract:: Studies of experimental grassland communities¹⁻⁷ have demonstrated that plant diversity can stabilize productivity through species asynchrony, in which decreases in the biomass of some species are compensated for by increases in others[superscript 1,2]. However, it remains unknown whether these findings are relevant to natural ecosystems, especially those for which species...

Herbivores and nutrients control grassland plant diversity via light limitation

Abstract:: Human alterations to nutrient cycles[superscript 1,2] and herbivore communities³⁻⁷ are affecting global biodiversity dramatically². Ecological theory predicts these changes should be strongly counteractive: nutrient addition drives plant species loss through intensified competition for light, whereas herbivores prevent competitive exclusion by increasing ground-level light, particularly in productive systems[superscript 8,9]. Here we...

Abstract:: Invasions have increased the size of regional species pools, but are typically assumed to reduce native diversity. However, global-scale tests of this assumption have been elusive because of the focus on exotic species richness, rather than relative abundance. This is problematic because low invader richness can indicate invasion resistance by...

Extension and volcanism : tectonic development of the northwestern margin of the Basin and Range Province in southern Oregon

Creator:: Scarberry, Kaleb C.
Abstract:: The northwestern corner of the Basin and Range Province (NWBR) lies in southeast Oregon where extensive Late Miocene, mafic to bimodal basalt-rhyolite volcanism and extensional faults dominate a stark and arid landscape. Near Lake Abert, the Late Miocene volcanic section abuts Early Miocene, dominantly intermediate composition volcanoes at the Coleman...
