  • Predictions and Practices for Reducing Heat Damage in Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

    Creator:
    Yang, Fan-Hsuan
    Abstract:
    Heat-related fruit damage is a common problem in the northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L). This is particularly true in regions such as the northwestern United States, where summers are warm and dry, and daytime temperature regularly exceeds 32 oC. Millions of dollars of fruit damage are reported in blueberries...

  • An investigation of tenth grade students' views of the purpose of geometric proof

    Creator:
    Gfeller, Mary Katherine
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this investigation was to describe tenth grade students' views of the purposes of geometric proof within the context of their learning. Classroom observations, the curriculum, assessment tools, journal questions, and a preconceptions questionnaire were used to provide context for the views expressed by students from a single...

  • An Exploratory Study of Mathematics Disciplinary Practices in Advanced Mathematics

    Creator:
    Glover, Erin D.
    Abstract:
    Policy and research have increased attention in K12 mathematics education on core mathematical practices such as argumentation, justification, and proof, that are central to students learning and doing mathematics. One reason for this increased focus is the empirical evidence that engaging students in mathematical practices provide more equitable opportunities for...

  • Effects of Intranasal Oxytocin on Attachment in Pet Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris)

    Creator:
    Thielke, Lauren E.
    Abstract:
    The present study explored the effects of intranasal oxytocin (OT), a naturally occurring hormone, on the behavior of pet dogs in an attachment test. Each dog participated in two testing sessions. On one visit saline was administered nasally and on another OT was administered nasally. Condition order was counterbalanced. Following...

  • Proximate Factors Influencing Cat Behavior, Cognition, and The Human-Cat Bond

    Creator:
    Vitale, Kristyn R.
    Abstract:
    The domestic cat is one of the world’s most popular companion animals. However, to date much remains to be learned about cat behavior and the cat-human relationship. To examine the influence of proximate factors on cat behavior and the human-cat bond, three studies were undertaken. Study 1 directly measured the...

  • Macro Stories: Policy Process Dynamics of Presidential Environmental Ideas

    Creator:
    Peterson, Holly L.
    Abstract:
    Public policy narratives and stories are often referenced by the media, politicians, advocacy groups, and across many disciplines in academia. Studies of social and political narratives support the notion narrative matters, but often lack systematic design capable of producing generalizable findings. The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) has responded to this...

  • Mechanical Design for Robot Locomotion

    Creator:
    Abate, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    Robotic limbs have been shown to enable mobility in unstructured, real-world terrain; they allow robots to step around cluttered environments, scramble up hills, carry heavy loads, and even perform acrobatics. However, mechanical limbs cannot operate as a means for such dynamic locomotion if they are simply treated as general articulated...

  • Generation of full-length cDNA clone and functional analysis of leader proteases of grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2

    Creator:
    Liu, Yu-Ping
    Abstract:
    Papain-like leader proteases are found in diverse families of human, animal, plant, and fungal positive-strand RNA viruses. In addition to autocatalytic processing, these proteases play a variety of roles in the virus life cycle. In particular, the leader protease (L-Pro) of a prototype member of the Closterovirus genus, Beet yellows...

  • Acetylene Inhibition of Azotobacter vinelandii Hydrogenase: Acetylene Binds Tightly to the Large Subunit

    Creator:
    Sun, Jin-Hua, Hyman, Michael R., and Arp, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Acetylene is a slow-binding inhibitor of the Ni- and Fe-containing dimeric hydrogenase isolated from Azotobacter vinelandii. Acetylene was released from hydrogenase during the recovery from inhibition. This indicates that no transformation of acetylene to another compound occurred as a result of the interaction with hydrogenase. However, the release of C2H2...

  • Impacts of dwarf mistletoe on the physiology of host Tsuga heterophylla trees as recorded in tree ring C and O stable isotopes

    Creator:
    Marias, Danielle E.
    Abstract:
    Dwarf mistletoes, obligate, parasitic plants with diminutive aerial shoots, have long-term effects on host tree water relations, hydraulic architecture, and photosynthetic gas exchange and can eventually lead to tree death. To investigate the long-term impacts of dwarf mistletoe on gas exchange of host western hemlock trees, I compared growth, gas...
