  • “Avoidable Suffering” : Analyzing Healthcare Providers’ Perceptions of Climate Change Impacts

    Creator:
    Goodman, Rebecca M.
    Abstract:
    Recent scientific studies show that framing climate change as a health issue rather than an environmental issue were more persuasive with American audience members (Maibach et. al., 2010; Maibach et. al. 2014).

  • Geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki)

    Creator:
    Williams, Thomas Herbert
    Abstract:
    Understanding how populations within a species interact across various geographic and temporal scales is fundamental to developing appropriate conservation strategies. I examined the geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) based on approximately 1,400 fish sampled from 54 populations spanning their distributional range...

  • Long-Term Stream Channel Response to a Large Flood in a Forested Mountain Watershed

    Creator:
    Goodman, Arianna C.
    Abstract:
    There is still scholarly debate on the impacts of large floods on the geomorphic evolution of mountain rivers. Understating the geomorphic effects of large flows in mountain rivers is challenging given the hydraulic complexity of these systems and the inherent unpredictability of large floods. Prior work has demonstrated that extreme...

  • Wheat lignin as a functional dietary fiber component

    Creator:
    Junyusen, Tiraporn
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has focused on lignin byproducts that result from the alkali processing of wheat straw. The first study evaluated the application of “standard” lignin quantification methods for summative analyses of alkali-based processes. Mass closure during NaOH processing at 25, 50, and 75°C of wheat straw was evaluated using the...

    Carlson, Erik
    Abstract:
    Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...
