Age-specific and lifetime reproductive success of known age Northern Spotted Owls on four study areas in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Loschl, Peter J.
Abstract:: Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) are a long-lived forest owl and range-wide declines in their numbers have resulted in the species being listed as threatened under the endangered species act. While many studies have been focused on population trends and reproductive performance of Spotted Owls from different age-classes, none...

Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

Creator:: Baron, Heather M.
Abstract:: Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...

Radical/domestic : representations of the professor in Willa Cather's The Professor's House and Vladimir Nabokov's Pnin

Creator:: Butcher, Ian
Abstract:: This thesis is an exploration of literary representation of professors, specificially in Willa Cather's The Professor's House and Vladimir Nabokov's Pnin. I explicate the political unconscious of these texts by teasing out the tensions and ironies stemming from the conflict between the radical political consequences of the titular characters' scholarship...

Houses of fiction, houses of confinement : character introductions, autonomy, and domestic spaces in two works by Henry James

Creator:: Killips, Lisa M.
Abstract:: My thesis examines a total of fourteen characters from The Portrait of a Lady and The Turn of the Screw. Primarily, I have discovered an overwhelming pattern in these two works by Henry James; when characters make direct entrances--that is when they are not described or discussed in absentia by...

Interactions between microbial dynamics, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media

Creator:: Yarwood, Rockie R.
Abstract:: Bioremediation in the vadose zone is unpredictable because of poor understanding of factors influencing microbial growth in this environment. A lab-scale experimental system was developed to examine, noninvasively, interactions between microbial growth, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media. Measurements of microbial colonization, and its impact on hydrology,...

Control of alkane monooxygenase activity and expression in Pseudomonas butanovora

Creator:: Doughty, David M.
Abstract:: The regulation of monooxygenase enzymes has been demonstrated in bacteria that grow on methane and long chain-length alkanes (>C10). Less is known about monooxygenase regulation in short chain alkane oxidizing bacteria that grow on intermediate chain-length alkanes C2-C10. This dissertation focuses on the regulation of butane monooxygenase (BMO) expression and...

An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:: Starkenburg, Shawn R.
Abstract:: The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...
