  • Zooplankton of the Galapagos Islands

    Creator:
    Figueroa, Diego
    Abstract:
    The marine climate of the Galapagos is spatially and seasonally heterogeneous. A taxonomically comprehensive study of Galapagos zooplankton has never been done. This study is an initial effort to establish the distribution and community structure of zooplankton in the Archipelago. I collected zooplankton samples by vertical tows over the Galapagos...

  • Zonal Resource Adequacy for Voltage Control

    Creator:
    Boller, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    In a power system, operators maintain voltage stability through adequate reactive reserves. Maintaining and accessing an efficient allocation of reactive reserves is prohibitively complex because of reactive line losses, the variety of reactive resources, and either limited or variable reactive outputs from renewable sources. By clustering the system into smaller...

  • Zimbabwean counselors' knowledge of and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS

    Creator:
    Richards, Kimberly A.
    Abstract:
    Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has become the world's foremost health threat and is the number one killer in Zimbabwe. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome impacts not only the individual who has AIDS, but on nuclear and extended families, and all aspects of society in Zimbabwe. Since studies have indicated that...

  • Zeros of Replicable Functions

    Creator:
    Toomey, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Following the work of Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya for Faber polynomials associated to the modular group, and Bannai, Kojima, and Miezaki's partial proof for the case of the Fricke group of level 2, we show that the zeros of certain modular functions for some low-level genus zero groups associated to...

  • Zero Kinetic Energy Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

    Creator:
    Harthcock, Colin
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I describe spectroscopic studies of jet-cooled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and one nitrogen substituted PAH (PANH) using pulsed field zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy and resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy. Recently, there has been a demand for far-infrared (FIR) spectral information of astrophysically relevant molecules...

  • Youth-Caseworker Relationships and Academic Resilience of Youth in Foster Care

    Creator:
    Jaramillo, Jamie
    Abstract:
    Academic success is a salient domain of youth development and is related to positive lifelong outcomes among youth in foster care. However, youth in foster care experience compounding adversities, including maltreatment and foster care placement itself, which put them at risk of academic disengagement and underachievement. Despite these adversities, academic...

  • Youth Wellbeing During the First School Year of the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Intersectional Analysis

    Creator:
    Fenske, Linda J.
    Abstract:
    During the first full school year of the Covid-19 pandemic, two central contexts for adolescent development—home and school—changed utterly. In Oregon, most middle- and high schoolers attended school entirely remotely from the beginning of the pandemic, in March, 2020, through the end of April, 2021, removing both the supports available...

  • Youth Recruitment and an Aging Workforce : A Pilot Study of Intergenerational Family Business in Oregon’s Commercial Fishing Industry

    Creator:
    Caracciolo, Deanna E.
    Abstract:
    Commercial fishing is a culturally and economically significant industry on the Oregon coast. The importance of this industry to human communities is often neglected in fisheries research, with economic and ecological data being favored by managers and decision makers. Recent observations in many coastal communities have indicated aging of fishermen...

  • Young-of-the-year rockfish (Sebastes spp.) settlement dynamics in Oregon estuaries

    Creator:
    Dauble, Alison D.
    Abstract:
    In the Pacific Northwest, several species of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) are under extreme conservation measures due to low population levels. Although currently at healthy population levels, one species of interest is the black rockfish (S. melanops), which has been shown to utilize estuarine habitat during its early life history stages....

    Creator:
    Recksiedler, Claudia
    Abstract:
    In 2008, the “Great Recession” gained its momentum and quickly grew into a global crisis that led to massive gross domestic product declines and job losses in countries around the world. Relative to prior economic downturns, young adults were greatly affected by the Great Recession. This likely placed a premium...
