An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:: Starkenburg, Shawn R.
Abstract:: The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...

An iterative investigation into the implementation of handheld computers as learning tools in a science museum

Creator:: Phipps, Molly E.
Abstract:: In this study I discuss the state of Free-Choice Learning research, and an investigation into the use of personal ubiquitous technology on visitors' experiences at a science center. The three manuscripts included in this document: 1. Review published research on free-choice learning from 1997-2007 from selected journals 2. Examine visitors'...

Using Narratives to Document Environmental Identities and Connection to Nature : A Case Study of Aquarium Staff and Volunteers

Creator:: Mileham, Michelle A.
Abstract:: Zoos and aquariums are among the best informal education avenues for individuals to further develop conservation beliefs and values. Research documented the presence of conservation messages at aquariums, that visitors expect such messages, and staff and volunteers at conservation organizations increase their conservation-related knowledge and behaviors. This research often focuses...

Reconceptualizing Science Communication: Investigating the Role of Discourse, Identity, and Cultural Models for Socially Controversial Science Topics at the Explore Evolution Exhibit in Three Museums

Creator:: Robichaux, Laia
Abstract:: Science is one of the fundamental building blocks of modern societies, and though some science topics are easily accepted by public audiences, others generate intense social controversy by challenging beliefs that are fundamental to a person’s, or group’s, identity. The Theory of Evolution is one of these “hot-button” issues, as...

Uncovering the Cultural Narratives and Environmental Identities of Latina/o Environmental Professionals and Beyond

Creator:: de la Hoz, Jenny F.
Abstract:: The environmental movement needs people from communities of color and the differing perspectives they provide. Latinas/os are one of the largest communities of color in the US, and their numbers continue to grow. However, mainstream environmental organizations have failed to engage this community in authentic ways. The lack of meaningful...

Inside a school-university partnership : Participation in a community of practice as professional growth

Creator:: Bottoms, SueAnn I.
Abstract:: Research suggests that long-term participation in professional development is critical in helping teachers meet the increasing demands of reform efforts and changing practice (Gallucci, 2003; Darling-Hammond, 1995; Little, 1993). Understanding the influence that participation in a community of teachers as a community of practice may have on teachers’ professional growth...

Eastern filbert blight in hazelnut (Corylus avellana): identification of new resistance sources and high resolution genetic and physical mapping of a resistance gene

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., is the only economically important nut crop in the family Betulaceae. One of the threats to the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala. Host genetic resistance to EFB identified in the...

On the Properties and Characteristics of Solution Processed Hafnium Based Thin-Films from Aqueous Precursors

Creator:: Decker, Shawn R.
Abstract:: Aqueous hydroxo Hf nanoclusters enable studies to identify and codify steps in the deposition of Hf-based oxide thin films from solution precursors. HfOCl2 reacts with combinations of H2O2(aq), acids, and TMAH to produce polymetal species at high pH and low pH. X-ray scattering and spectroscopic methods reveal the nature of...

Simple sequence repeat marker development and use in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Gürcan, Kahraman
Abstract:: New highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). were developed from several sources. The markers were characterized, and segregation in a mapping population allowed to assign them to linkage groups. Their transferability across genera and species in the Betulaceae family was investigated. SSR markers...

High-density Linkage Maps for European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) from Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers and Mapping New Sources of Resistance to Eastern Filbert Blight

Creator:: Komaei Koma, Golnaz
Abstract:: European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a diploid with 11 pairs of chromosomes (2n = 2x = 22), monoecious, dichogamous and wind-pollinated. Eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala is a serious disease of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) in North America, and infection leads to cankers that girdle branches...
