  • Disciplining the reception of Darwin : the botanical and sociological work of Lester Frank Ward

    Creator:
    Zimmerman, Katharine
    Abstract:
    The publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, truly a synthesized work of natural history, coincided with the emergence of specialized disciplines in the 19th century. This thesis aims to explore the relationship between the specialization of knowledge, in the form of disciplinization, and the reception of new...

  • Frank and Friendly Pressure : U.S. Liberal Interventionism in the Early Cold War

    Creator:
    Fuller, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    U.S. foreign policy during the period between World War II and the Vietnam War has been described as part of a “nation-­‐building” or “liberal” grand strategy. This thesis contends that understanding U.S. efforts to influence the internal affairs of sovereign states through the spread of liberal values and institutions during...

  • Drivers of Soil Fungal Communities Across Three Tropical Rainforests in Panama

    Creator:
    Schappe, Tyler
    Abstract:
    Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and interact with plant communities in mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal ways. Fungal communities are thought to be influenced by both associated tree communities and soil properties. However, the relative importance of the biotic and abiotic drivers of soil fungal community structure and diversity...

  • Metabolic engineering of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 for microbial fuel cell application

    Creator:
    Hall, Robert G. (Robert George)
    Abstract:
    Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacteria with the capability of dissimilatory metal reduction. The ability of the organism to reduce a wide range of solid metal-oxides during anaerobic respiration makes it an ideal candidate for the powering of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which capture the electrons discharged...

  • Evolution of sodefrin precursor pheromones in salamandrid newts

    Creator:
    von Reis, Martha
    Abstract:
    An ancient pheromonal signal is found in aquatic courting salamandrids and terrestrial courting plethodontids, two highly divergent salamander families. In the aquatic courting salamandrids Cynops pyrrhogaster and C. ensicauda, the decapeptide sodefrin is cleaved from a larger 189 amino acid Sodefrin Precursor Factor (SPF) protein and released from a gland...

  • A quadratic programming algorithm for deriving efficient farm plans in a risk setting

    Creator:
    Bauer, Leonard
    Abstract:
    The main focus was on developing an algorithm and supporting computer programs for use by extension personel to counsel farm managers on problems of enterprise choice. Investigation was initiated from the complete certainty viewpoint of linear programming. Upon introducing uncertainty, ramifications of changing expected income, variance and the correlation coefficient...

  • Crystal Records of the Origin, Evolution, and Thermal Histories of Magmas

    Creator:
    Bradshaw, Richard W., 1985-
    Abstract:
    In volcanic systems, magma is generally stored in the shallow crust prior to eruption. The conditions of this storage directly impact whether the magma eventually erupts, or crystallizes within the crust to form a pluton. In this dissertation I present four studies that investigate the storage conditions of a number...

  • Energetics and mechanics of swing phase during terrestrial locomotion

    Creator:
    Nelson, Frank E.
    Abstract:
    Previous attempts to understand the factors affecting the energetic cost of locomotion have found a direct link between the energetic cost and the mechanical work done during periods when the limb is in contact with the ground. However, when the limb is not in contact with the ground during the...

  • Subducting Seamounts and Heceta Bank: An Amphibious Seismic Tomography Experiment of the Central Oregon Forearc

    Creator:
    Nolan, Sarah
    Abstract:
    Studies reveal differences in slip segmentation and plate coupling along the Cascadia subduction zone. The segment between 44.0°N and 45.0°N exhibited reduced slip in the 1700 megathrust earthquake (Wang et al., 2013) and corresponds with previous rupture boundaries inferred from paleoseismic data (Leonard et al., 2010). Notably, this segment of...

  • Bacterial community analysis, new exoelectrogen isolation and enhanced performance of microbial electrochemical systems using nano-decorated anodes

    Creator:
    Xu, Shoutao
    Abstract:
    Microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) have attracted much research attention in recent years due to their promising applications in renewable energy generation, bioremediation, and wastewater treatment. In a MES, microorganisms interact with electrodes via electrons, catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions at the anode and the cathode. The bacterial community of a...
