  • Cultivating Connection: Successful Relationship Building Strategies for Peer Mentors

    Creator:
    Eng, Kayleen S.
    Abstract:
    While it can be said that peer mentor-mentee relationships in college can lead to meaningful connections and interpersonal support, there is a lack of literature about how exactly mentor-relationship connections are made. This study examines the relationship building strategies that peer mentors used to connect with their mentees in the...

  • Landscape occupancy by free ranging cattle in northeast Oregon

    Creator:
    Wilson, Kerry D.
    Abstract:
    Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies were employed to evaluate cattle occupancy of three landscape attributes on three different grazing allotments administered by the Wallowa Whitman National Forest in Northeast Oregon. Topographic characteristics of slope; 0-4%, 4-12%, 12-35% and >35% were evaluated as well as north...

  • Detecting Violent Explosive Neurologic Trauma in American Service Members

    Creator:
    Crowell, Jeffrey R.
    Abstract:
    The emergence of high explosives on the battlefield can be defined both literally and figuratively as a seismic event in the landscape of modern warfare. High explosives first came into common use in war in 1914. By the end of World War I just four years later, more than 2.5...

  • Inducing and Evaluating Phenotypic and Cytometric Variation in Landscape Plants : Observations from Acer, Ornithogalum, and Penstemon

    Creator:
    Lattier, Kim Shearer
    Abstract:
    Hereditary variation is a vital component in the development of new and improved cultivars of landscape plants. Sources of hereditary variation include naturally occurring variation, recombination due to controlled crosses, artificial mutagenesis, and genetic modification via biotechnology. Here I explore all methods with the exception of genetic modification via biotechnology....

  • Childhood cancer and spatial analyses of benzene exposure in Texas

    Creator:
    Roberts, Mark T.
    Abstract:
    Childhood cancers are rare diseases that affect 188 children in Texas for every million born. Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for roughly one third of childhood cancer cases. However, it is estimated that only 10% of childhood cancer cases can be explained by known risk factors....

  • Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

    Creator:
    Greaves, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

  • 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...

  • Growth and development of temperate and tropical passerines of the New World : a life history perspective

    Creator:
    Austin-Bythell, Suzanne H.
    Abstract:
    I studied developmental rates in a suite of temperate and tropical passerine bird species from the New World to test the hypothesis that tropical passerines exhibit slower patterns of growth and development than temperate birds. I also investigated how the expression of several developmental rates varied with life history traits...

  • Reburn Severity and Vegetation Recovery in Southwestern Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Weber, Rebecca N.
    Abstract:
    The Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion of southwest Oregon and northern California is greatly departed from its historic, mixed-severity fire regime. This departure manifests in larger wildfires, greater proportions of high burn severity within wildfire perimeters, and decreased diversity of post-fire vegetation successional stages and trajectories across the landscape compared to historical norms....

    Creator:
    Alohali, Abdullah W.
    Abstract:
    The 180,000 km² of Arabian lava fields (“harrats” in Arabic) form one of the largest distributed basaltic provinces in the world. Approximately 50% of these are located in Saudi Arabia. The most recent eruption in 1256 AD, as well as seismicity and ground deformation associated with shallow dike emplacement in...
