    Creator:
    Rush, Lani
    Abstract:
    Creative nonfiction is a genre replete with contradictions--the name itself shows that: nonfiction writing is true and factual, but creative writing is imaginative and inventive. Because of fundamental contradictions like this, there is no standardized or even most common definition of the genre. This creates confusion for both critics and...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies.

  • Development of mucosal vaccines for avian influenza A virus composed of recombinant Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii

    Creator:
    Reese, Kaleb A.
    Abstract:
    Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...

  • Seasonal life history of Oncorhynchus mykiss in the South Fork John Day River Basin, Oregon

    Creator:
    Tattam, Ian A.
    Abstract:
    Understanding seasonal changes in growth, survival, and movement rates is crucial to salmonid management. These life history characteristics provide a context for evaluation of management actions. We evaluated the life history of individually marked Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri in the South Fork John Day River basin in Northeastern Oregon. This thesis...

  • Juvenile coho salmon movement, growth and survival in a coastal basin of southern Oregon

    Creator:
    Weybright, Adam D. and Giannico, Guillermo R.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile salmonids display highly variable spatial and temporal patterns of early dispersal that are influenced by density-dependent and density-independent factors. Although juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) movement patterns in streams and their relationship with body mass and growth have been examined in previous studies, most observations were limited to one...

  • Downstream Rearing Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Upper Mainstem of the John Day River

    Creator:
    Scheu, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) leave the natal reach at different times and move downstream at different rates which can increase their productivity by allowing them to utilize habitats on different temporal scales and spreading risk of localized stochastic events. This life history diversity can also allow fish to adapt...

    Abstract:
    This study was designed to investigate the relationship between retinol intake, bone mineral density, and falls in 101 elderly women aged 72 to 90 years (78.6 yrs. ± 4.3 yrs.). Bone mineral density (BMD) (g/cm²) of the left hip, anterior-posterior lumbar spine (L3), and lateral spine (L3) was measured using...
