  • The Oregon Coastal Subprovince, a new biogeographic subprovince for primary freshwater fishes in Oregon

    Creator:
    Kettratad, Jes
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Northwest has a relatively low diversity of primary freshwater fishes with most of the endemism and diversity in the Columbia River and Klamath River. However, the Oregon Coastal Subprovince defined as the coastal rivers from Miami River in the north to Sixes River in the south, has a...

  • Taxonomy and systematic relationships of tui chubs (Siphateles: Cyprinidae) from Oregon's Great Basin

    Creator:
    Remple, Stacy L.
    Abstract:
    There are three recognized species of Siphateles from the Great Basin; S. alvordensis, S. boraxobius and the tui chub, S. bicolor. One species, S. boraxobius, is endangered and one population of tui chub at Hutton Spring is threatened. Despite several morphological and molecular studies, the taxonomy and relationships of tui...

  • Ethnic minorities' leisure-time physical activity in the context of acculturation

    Creator:
    Lee, Hyo
    Abstract:
    Eliminating physical activity disparities among ethnic minorities in the U.S. is important. Cultural differences have been found to be plausible contributing factors associated with such disparities. Therefore it is important to investigate and understand the mechanisms by which diverse aspects of cultural experiences affect physical activity participation among ethnic minorities,...

  • Design of Ion Thruster Optics Simulator and a Neural Network Emulator

    Creator:
    Sable, Shital Dnyandeo
    Abstract:
    The grid geometry plays a vital role in the performance of gridded ion thrusters. It can dramatically impact the erosion rate and thrust. Designers push the limits of electric in-space propulsion by optimizing grid parameters through simulation. At the same time, computational models of plasma physics are intensive. A baseline...

  • Girlhood reimagined : representations of girlhood in the films of Hayao Miyazaki

    Creator:
    Sabine, Karissa N.
    Abstract:
    Despite the now common usage of the term “girl”, there has been little call for pause and deeper analysis into what we actually mean when we use this term. In particular, animated film provides a wide scope of media texts that claim to focus on girlhood; but how do we...

  • Feeling through Language: Tracing Affect in Gendered Language

    Creator:
    Moody, Jeana S.
    Abstract:
    This study looks at how gendered language circulates affect in order to coerce gender binary conformity. I analyze the ways gendered phrases like “sit like a lady”, “don’t be a bitch”, and “man up” communicate binary gender expectations within a U.S. context, and what they have to do with larger...

  • Species identification of Klamath Basin suckers (Pisces : Catostomidae) and an assessment of hybridization using anonymous nuclear loci

    Creator:
    Wagman, David Wolfe
    Abstract:
    Low copy number anonymous nuclear loci were used to search for species markers in four species of Klamath Basin suckers. We sequenced 28 randomly chosen loci representing 10,421 bp; 21 loci were similar to sequences in GenBank. Eight fixed sequence differences were found among Klamath species. Locus 120 contained rare...

  • Spawning, larval recruitment, and early life survival of Pacific lampreys in the South Fork Coquille River, Oregon

    Creator:
    Brumo, Abel F.
    Abstract:
    Recently, there has been concern over the decline of the Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, in the northwestern United States. However, effective management has been impeded by data gaps in basic biology, especially in the early life stages. Consequently, in 2004 and 2005 I examined reproductive ecology, larval recruitment, and lamprey...

  • Breaking silos : interdisciplinary research in kinesiology

    Creator:
    Schary, David P.
    Abstract:
    With the growing popularity of kinesiology at the undergraduate level, one would expect the field to be influential. Kinesiology, however, appears to be in a paradox. The undergraduate popularity is not reflected in the rest of academia, or even the general public, many of whom feel kinesiology is not a...

  • Disentangling the Biotic and Abiotic Drivers of the Amphibian Disease Chytridiomycosis

    Creator:
    Bradley, Paul W.
    Abstract:
    The ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity has been described as a "biodiversity crisis," "the Anthropocene defaunation," and alternatively "an extinction spasm." More recently, many scientists have come to the conclusion that we are witnesses to Earth's sixth major mass extinction event, which has the potential to fundamentally alter basic ecological...
