Deconvolving the sedimentary phases of barium using flow-through time-resolved analysis

Creator:: Hsieh, Chih-Ting
Abstract:: The distribution of barite (BaSO₄) in marine sediments has long been studied as a proxy for paleoproductivity. While pure barite is known to be a stable mineral in oxic sediments, it is also known that variations in the Sr/Ba ratio influence its solubility and liability during early diagenesis. To extract...

Cell cycle regulation of DNA precursor accumulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Koc, Ahmet
Abstract:: In budding yeast, many of the genes that encode enzymes required for DNA precursor synthesis (MCB genes) are expressed under cell cycle control in late G1/S. The relationship between MCB gene expression, dNTP synthesis and DNA synthesis was investigated by using α factor-synchronized Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The levels of all four...

Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) of Oregon and Northern California: seasonal haulout abundance patterns, movements of marked juveniles, and effects of hot-iron branding on apparent survival of pups at Rogue Reef

Creator:: Scordino, Jonathan
Abstract:: The Steller Sea Lion Research Initiative was passed in 2001 to provide funding to help scientists determine causes and solutions for the population crash of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus). In response to need to understand population dynamics of Steller sea lions, NOAA Fisheries has spearheaded a large-scale, range-wide research...

Civil engineering students' and practicing civil engineers' understanding of engineering concepts

Creator:: Urlacher, Mark A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explore civil engineering students’ and professional civil engineers' understanding of concepts within statics and fluid mechanics. The studies described herein begin to examine theories of situated cognition utilizing concept inventories, which are sets of multiple-choice questions where the incorrect answers are based on...

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...

Comparative wintering ecology of two subspecies of sandhill crane : informing conservation planning in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta region of California

Creator:: Ivey, Gary L.
Abstract:: California's Central Valley agricultural landscapes provide several important wintering regions for Pacific Flyway sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) populations; however, the value of those regions is being compromised by urban expansion, other developments, and conversions to incompatible crop types. Greater (G. c. tabida) and lesser sandhill cranes (G. c. canadensis) both...

Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

Creator:: Waye, Heather L.
Abstract:: While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

Student Engagement : Exploring How and Why Students Engage In- and Out-of-Class

Creator:: Pascoe, Jason J.
Abstract:: Student engagement in a course plays a vital role in a student’s ability to process and construct knowledge. Student engagement research has investigated how students engage in and out of the classroom on a macro scale, through observation and survey data collection of large student populations, which lack focus on...

An Exploration of Faculty Sensemaking in the Adoption of Course Social and Cognitive Engagement (CSCE) Surveys

Creator:: Ironside, Allyson J.
Abstract:: The work of engineering education researchers has resulted in the development of research-based instructional strategies (RBISs) aimed at providing educators with means to increase student learning. Research has shown that there is a disconnect between the development of RBISs and their use by educators. Means to make new practices more...

Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

Creator:: Heck, Samuel T.
Abstract:: This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...
