  • Elucidating Key Aspects of the Biology of Select Species of Snail-killing Flies (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) in Oregon

    Creator:
    Alzahrani, Fares
    Abstract:
    Members of the family Sciomyzidae, known as snail-killing or marsh flies, are unique amongst insects in that the vast majority of reared species feed exclusively on mollusks and as a result their biological control potential has been well documented in the scientific literature. However, in North America there is a...

  • Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.
    Abstract:
    The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...

  • The Politics of Population : A Transnational Feminist Analysis of India’s National Population Policy of 2000

    Creator:
    Rowe, Ashley
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to critically analyze whether India’s National Population Policy of 2000 represents a paradigm shift in terms of how the nation-state conceptualizes and address population growth through formal population policy. Analyzed through transnational feminist theory, this study employed political discourse analysis as the research method....

  • A Feminist Celebrates the Rediscovery of Immanence

    Creator:
    Lockhart, Janet L.
    Abstract:
    I offer a personal and prehistoric exploration of the concept of immanence, the principle of a divine force living, remaining, and operating within living creatures, inherent in the human, including the female; a unifying force that connects humans to each other, to nature, and to the earth. I examine the...

  • Short and long-term effectiveness of a weight loss program

    Creator:
    Mann, Janet G.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to determine that a behavioral lifestyle modification approach to weight loss changes participants' dietary intake and physical activity levels and that these changes were associated with weight loss and weight loss maintenance. Behavioral factors important in other weight control studies were also investigated to...

  • Reactive polyphenols and dissolved nutrients in a nitrogen-limited headwater catchment, western Cascades, Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Rasmussen, Janet K.
    Abstract:
    In undisturbed N-limited forested catchments, DON may represent over 90% of the total N lost in streams. Some ecologists have suggested that plant-derived reactive polyphenols may be responsible for DON binding and transport because polyphenol-protein complexes are known to precipitate out of solution, bind to mineral surfaces or organic matter...

    Creator:
    Boltseridge, Nathan H.
    Abstract:
    In 1952, at the height of the McCarthy era, Franz Kallmann, a Jewish psychiatrist and eugenicist who fled the National Socialist regime in Germany, published a study, in which he claimed to have found a one hundred percent concordance rate for homosexuality among forty pairs of identical twins. From this...

  • Hydrology and geomorphic evolution of basaltic landscapes, High Cascades, Oregon

    Creator:
    Jefferson, Anne (Anne Jarvis)
    Abstract:
    The basaltic landscapes of the Oregon High Cascades form a natural laboratory for examining how geologic setting and history influence groundwater flowpaths, streamflow sensitivity to climate, and landscape evolution. In the High Cascades, highly permeable young basaltic lavas form extensive aquifers. These aquifers are the dominant sources of summer streamflow...

  • Transgender Adults Living with Disabilities: Factors Associated with Health Care Utilization

    Creator:
    Mulcahy, Abigail
    Abstract:
    Background: Although both transgender adults and adults living with disabilities struggle to access healthcare, both populations are underserved and understudied. Existing research either examines transgender adults and adults with disabilities as separate groups or frames disability as a health outcome a transgender person may experience. Health care utilization and health...

    Creator:

    Abstract:
    Hydrologic processes within mineral flat wetlands, along with their connections to groundwater and downstream surface water in lowland agricultural catchments are poorly understood, particularly under different land uses. In the three field studies included in this thesis, we examined infiltration, wetland hydroperiod, groundwater recharge dynamics, surface runoff generation, and water...
