  • Experimental Evolution of Roundup Resistance in Outcrossing Populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Hanson, Chloe C.
    Abstract:
    Evolve & Resequence (E&R) experiments subject laboratory populations to environments controlled by investigators, who then document the phenotypic and genomic changes that take place over many generations. These experiments provide powerful tools for testing of a wide variety of evolutionary questions, especially questions about the nature of adaptive traits. While...

  • Successful Secessionist Movements and the Uncertainty of Post-Secession Quality of Life

    Creator:
    Stein, Chloe
    Abstract:
    A prevalent assumption among those engaging in secessions is that their quality of life will improve once they establish their own nation. This study examined this assumption by looking at how a successful secession impacted peoples’ quality of life. Despite the sheer number of active secessionist movements, very few actually...

  • Determining novel control methods for cabbage maggot (Delia radicum) in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Dugger, Chloe D.
    Abstract:
    Cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) impacts the production of Brassicaceae crops worldwide. The larva feed on the roots of crops causing reductions in yields due to impaired root function and unmarketability of crops. Chemical and cultural management programs are commonly used to control cabbage maggot with varying rates of...

  • Health Outcomes in Pakistan: Empirical essays for Policy Assessment

    Creator:
    Gardezi, Najam uz Zehra
    Abstract:
    In resource constrained settings, missing markets and unregulated externalities can have a significant impact on human capital outcomes. High out of pocket expenditure due to the inaccessibility of insurance markets limits the use of healthcare, just as the inability to borrow in the face of a cash constraint may lead...

  • Design and Modeling Techniques for Impedance Based Flow Cytometry

    Creator:
    Dawes, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Microfluidic devices have enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems that allow for complex sample analysis and preparation in a compact form factor. One technology that may benefit from a microfluidic approach and further miniaturization is flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is an analysis technique for enumerating and characterizing populations of cells; this is...

  • Financing of Public Higher Education in Afghanistan: Public Opinion and Information Effects

    Creator:
    Najam, Rafiuddin
    Abstract:
    The Afghan public higher education (HE) system absorbs less than one-fifth of government education spending and per student spending declines, while the student annual enrollment is rising. This contrast may trigger challenges and inevitable tradeoffs for the public universities to encounter. Policies concerning the diversification of financing stream need attention;...

  • Essays on Antenatal Care Utilization in Rural Bihar, India: Implications for Policy Design

    Creator:
    Anand, Gautam
    Abstract:
    Improving access to and uptake of antenatal care remains a persistent challenge for India. It is a far greater challenge for an underdeveloped, poorer and mostly rural state like Bihar. The 2015-16 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-IV) of India reported that only 3% pregnant women in rural Bihar utilized full...

  • Rationalization and innovative design of asymmetric organocatalysts through computational investigation

    Creator:
    Johnston, Ryne Connell
    Abstract:
    My work on computing complex catalyzed organic transformations reveals that only a few subtle chemical factors, e.g. non-classical hydrogen bonding, (hyper)conjugation and steric effects, common across different catalyst manifolds are critical for catalysis and selectivity. Rational manipulation and exploitation of these factors has led to improved catalyst designs, which has...

  • Forest Successional and Disturbance Dynamics in the Southern Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon

    Creator:
    Johnston, James D.
    Abstract:
    The application of modern land management practices beginning at the turn of the 20th century is widely believed to have dramatically transformed forest landscapes of the inland Pacific Northwest. Restoring historical conditions to make forests resilient to future climate and disturbance regimes is a major goal of federal forest managers....

  • Geologic structure and exhumation accompanying Yakutat terrane collision, southern Alaska

    Creator:
    Johnston, Sarah A.
    Abstract:
    The climatic and tectonic framework of the St. Elias orogen makes it an excellent place to study the interactions between tectonic processes such as deformation and erosive processes, in particular glacial erosion. One type of link between these processes, proposed by numerical models of orogenic development, is an effect of...
