  • Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

    Creator:
    Jolly, J. Christopher
    Abstract:
    The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • It's in the blood : the varieties of Linus Pauling's work on hemoglobin and sickle cell anemia

    Creator:
    Gormlet, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
    Abstract:
    Linus Pauling incorporated hemoglobin and a disease of the blood, sickle cell anemia, into many of his researches between the mid-1930s and mid-1970s. In the early 1930s Pauling became interested in organic chemistry and named hemoglobin as one of the first biochemical substances that he planned to analyze. In 1935...

  • Characterizing the spatial distribution of short duration, high intensity rainfall in the central Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Goard, Deborah Lynn
    Abstract:
    Shallow, translational landslides occur naturally and are the dominant form of erosion in the Pacific Northwest and the Oregon Coast Range. These landslides are triggered during large, infrequent storms. Forest management activities, such as timber harvesting, can exacerbate the occurrence of these landslides. Understanding the relationship between the occurrence of...

  • The Association Between Extreme Climate and Diarrheal Illness in North America

    Creator:
    Lyon-Colbert, Amber
    Abstract:
    The etiology and transmission of bacterial diarrheal pathogens is complex, making evaluating the association between extreme climate and diarrheal illnesses in North America challenging. Changes in climate may impact the survival, reproduction, and distribution of pathogens that cause diarrheal illness. Evidence supports the hypothesis that reproduction, survival, and transmission ability...

  • Physiological Responses of Loblolly Pine and Douglas-fir Seedlings from Various Provenances to Timing and Frequency of Drought Stress

    Creator:
    Mosel, Jamie E.
    Abstract:
    Drought is expected to increase in many parts of the world and has been shown to affect tree physiology and growth, with seedlings being particularly vulnerable. Seedling drought responses are often species dependent, and even within species different populations may demonstrate a spectrum of responses to drought, from susceptibility to...

  • Precipitation-snowmelt timing and snowmelt augmentation of large peak flow events, western Cascades, Oregon

    Creator:
    Jennings, Keith S.
    Abstract:
    Despite advances in the understanding of rain-on-snow storms and their resulting peak flows, little is understood about the response of snowmelt to precipitation and the relative timing of the two at multiple temporal scales within such events. To address this issue, climate, snowmelt, and streamflow data were analyzed for 26...

  • High-frequency measurements of total CO₂ : Method development and first oceanographic observations

    Creator:
    Bandstra, Leah M.
    Abstract:
    As concern grows about the long-term effects of increasing atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, it becomes increasingly important to understand the cycling of carbon on Earth, particularly in the dynamic marine reservoir. Gas exchange and relatively rapid ocean mixing times mean that the oceans play a significant role in determining the atmospheric...

  • Defect Mechanisms in Bismuth-based Perovskites

    Creator:
    Kumar, Nitish
    Abstract:
    The aim of this research is to develop a fundamental understanding of the dominant defect species and the relevant defect equilibrium conditions for bismuth-containing perovskites to help guide the development of these materials for emerging applications. This is of paramount importance for many demanding applications, because ultimately the defect equilibria...
