  • Unraveling tissue regeneration using chemical genetics

    Creator:
    Mathew, Lijoy K.
    Abstract:
    The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...

  • Quantitative trait loci mapping of yield, its related traits, and spike morphology factors in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

    Creator:
    Gaynor, Robert C.
    Abstract:
    Increasing grain yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a challenging task, because yield is a complex trait controlled by many genes and highly influenced by environmental factors. The genetic control of yield components and other traits associated with yield may be less complex and thus more manageable for breeding....

  • Living with earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Yeats, Robert S.
    Abstract:
    In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research...

  • Multi-hazard Damage and Loss Assessment of Bridge Networks

    Creator:
    Burns, Patrick O.
    Abstract:
    The overarching objective of this study is to examine and compare the vulnerabilities of bridges combining effects of earthquake-induced ground shaking, ground failure (e.g., landslides and lateral spreading), and tsunami inundation. A parametric study is performed to understand the sensitivity of economic loss and traffic capacity with respect to the...

  • Caution – ideological mechanisms at work : interpellation and the melancholic turn in Jack Kerouac's On the Road and Ernest Hemingway's The Garden of Eden

    Creator:
    Travers, Jessica D.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I examine the ideological mechanisms that work to constitute, construct, and maintain subject identity. Such mechanisms include repetition, performativity, identification, and interpellation. I incorporate structuralist, post-structuralist, and psychoanalytic theories as a means to discuss the ways in which gender, sexuality, and identity are performative masquerades. Furthermore, these...

  • 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...

  • Flavor comparison of ultra high temperature processed milk heated by Ohmic heating and conventional methods

    Creator:
    He, Juan
    Abstract:
    Ultra high temperature (UHT) processing can extend shelf life of milk to several months without refrigeration, which is more convenient and energy saving than pasteurized milk. However, the poor acceptance caused by "cooked" flavors limits its marketing growth, especially in United States. Ohmic heating, which has a more uniform and...

  • Second nature : domestication as experiment and metaphor in 20th century American psychobiology

    Creator:
    Blanchard, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    By 1900 domestication was a promising, if somewhat vexed, subject in biology. Volumes had been written about domestication, but little serious scientific inquiry was directed toward the phenomenon. Expertise lay with practical men, primarily breeders and fanciers. The bulk of scientific commentary on domestication came from anthropologists who derived theories...

  • Exploration of the feasibility of developing a winter hardy 'Marion' blackberry through genetic engineering

    Creator:
    Meng, Rengong
    Abstract:
    Experiments focusing on plant growth regulators’ concentrations and combination, mineral salt formulations and TDZ pretreatment formations were conducted to optimize in vitro shoot regeneration from leaf and petiole explants of 'Marion' blackberry. Optimum shoot formation was obtained when stock plants were incubated in TDZ pretreatment medium for three weeks before...

    Abstract:
    The objectives of this study are to 1) qualitatively and quantitatively measure the odor-active compounds in ‘Marion’ blackberry; 2) compare the aroma profiles of advanced selections and new cultivars of thornless blackberry cultivars with ‘Marion’; 3) study the development of furaneol in ‘Marion’ during ripening and; 4) investigate the distribution...
