Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:: Lavalleur, Heather J.
Abstract:: With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

Creator:: Waye, Heather L.
Abstract:: While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

Understanding Patterns of Timber Harvest and their Drivers : A Quantitative Assessment of Forest Governance in the Western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Harris, Tyler C.
Abstract:: Effective forest governance is central to the efficient, sustainable, and equitable use of forest resources, yet challenges in assessing forest governance impede efforts to improve it. Contemporary forest governance involves decisions by multiple stakeholders across multiple sectors of economy and society, from local to global scales – making forest governance...

Reproductive Effects of PG-600 Administration in Ewes

Creator:: Habeeb, Hayder
Abstract:: Sheep are seasonally polyestrus, which means they do exhibit estrus and ovulation during the short daylight (breeding season) and do not during the long daylight (nonbreeding season). To stimulate the ewes to ovulate during the nonbreeding season, various hormonal treatments have been used. PG-600 contains both equine chorionic gonadotropin and...

Nearshore distribution of barnacle and mussel larvae and oceanographic mechanisms of onshore transport and delivery

Creator:: Tyburczy, Joe A.
Abstract:: Recruitment of larvae from the plankton is an important determinant of community structure in marine systems. In populations of many marine species, recruitment determines the basic demographic parameters of immigration, emigration, and reproduction. Moreover, the effect of recruitment as an "ecological subsidy" can determine the strength of interactions among species...

Wide band gap semiconductors and insulators : synthesis, processing and characterization

Creator:: Hersh, Peter A.
Abstract:: The work presented here is focused on applying basic principles of solid-state chemistry to the study and development of new wide band-gap semiconductors and insulators for photovoltaic and electronic-device applications. Analysis of crystal structure, band structure, optical band gap, morphology and transport properties provides fundamental insight into materials performance as...

From the encoded to the explicit in the 20th Century Irish romance : a study of Elizabeth Bowen's The last September and Edna O'Brien's The country girl's trilogy

Creator:: Breeden, Shobana L.
Abstract:: This thesis uses both feminist and new historic theories to argue that the women's romance novels The Last September (1929) by Elizabeth Bowen and The Country Girl's Trilogy (1960, 1962, 1964) by Edna O'Brien are tragic bildungsroman that subvert and challenge the Irish patriarchal marriage expectations of their respective time...

Dynamics of the Laurentide Ice Sheet

Creator:: Carlson, Anders Eskil
Abstract:: This dissertation concentrates on the controlling factors on the instability of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) and their effects on abrupt climate change. Northern Hemisphere climate fluctuated abruptly during the last deglaciation possibly related to variability in Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and reduced aerial extent of the LIS. Reductions...

Greater sage-grouse reproductive ecology : linkages among habitat resources, maternal nutrition, and chick survival

Creator:: Gregg, Michael A.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations declined range wide during the past 50 years. Grouse populations were 2-3 times larger than the current population as recently as the early 1970's. In addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, declines were attributed habitat degradation that caused reduced productivity. Because chick survival remains the...

Towards Narrative Understanding with Deep Neural Networks and Hidden Markov Models

Creator:: Orr, J. Walker
Abstract:: Narratives are central to communication and the human experience. For a computer system to understand a narrative, it must be able to identify the key facts or plot elements that describe what happened or how the world has changed. These element are called events;establishing a document’s events and the relationships...
