A Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Projectile Point Maintenance using Experimental Resharpening Techniques: An Examination of PFP1 Curation, Cooper’s Ferry Site, Idaho

Creator:: Skinner, Sarah M.
Abstract:: The incorporation of experimental archaeology into the study of lithic technologies has provided archaeologists with a framework to understand past behaviors. The analysis of stone tools has the potential to reveal morphologic characteristics unique to the manufacture, use, and maintenance of stone tools. The implementation of controlled experiments to identify...

The Influence of NGO Strategies on the Sustainability of Biosand Water Filters in Cambodia

Creator:: Whinnery, Jaynie L.
Abstract:: This essay evaluates the effectiveness of NGO strategies to promote program sustainability using a case study of two NGOs that install biosand water filters in Cambodia. While the ownership-focused strategy of cost-sharing is the most commonly used and studied, there is evidence to suggest that certain more neglected strategies can...

The distribution of geologic and artifact obsidian from the Silver Lake/Sycan Marsh geochemical source group, South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Thatcher, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Geochemical characterization methods are commonly used in the reconstruction of prehistoric raw material use and procurement systems. Trace element studies of lithic source material and artifacts, specifically those made of obsidian, can reveal important information about the environmental and cultural factors which influence the prehistoric distribution of raw material. The...

Characterization of the molecular foundations and biochemistry of alkane and ether oxidation in a filamentous fungus, a Graphium species.

Creator:: Skinner, Kristin M.
Abstract:: Graphium sp., a eukaryotic alkanotroph, is able to oxidize small-molecular weight gaseous n-alkanes, diethyl ether and the branched ether, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE). However, information regarding the biochemistry of fungal-mediated alkane and ether metabolism is limited, and questions regarding the identity of alkane oxidation catalysts and the genetic underpinnings...

Dietary acculturation among Oregon Latinos : factors affecting food choice

Creator:: Vanegas, Sarah Marie
Abstract:: This study sought to examine food choice motives and influences among Oregon Latinos to gain a greater understanding of their dietary acculturation. Previous studies relying principally on quantitative methods to assess the relationship between acculturation and diet have reported inconsistent results, though a general decline in diet quality is reported...

Assessing Mercury Levels, Health Metrics, and Immune Function in Non-stranded Male California and Steller Sea Lions in Oregon

Creator:: Rae, Samantha N.
Abstract:: California and Steller sea lions (Zalophus californianus, Eumetopias jubatus, respectively) are considered sentinel species because they have long life spans, are long-term coastal residents, feed at high trophic levels, and have large blubber stores that serve as depots for anthropogenic toxicants. There are few studies on sea lion health and...

Phase distribution parameter determination by neutron radiography

Creator:: Skinner, Jesse B.
Abstract:: A phase distribution parameter has been added to the one-dimensional two-phase horizontal flow conservation equations. The phase distribution parameter was incorporated into the conservation equations in an attempt to add stability and remove correlation switching by incorporating gravity. Determination of the phase distribution parameter requires an average void fraction profile...

Sarah Grimke's Rhetoric for Empowerment : Her Life and Letters

Creator:: Hamilton, Susan E. Maier
Abstract:: In twentieth century America, women continue the age-old struggle for recognition as whole, intelligent individuals, not just an "other," less hearty, less deserving or less capable being than man. Sarah Grimke spoke of the inequalities over 150 years ago during the abolitionist movement when she compiled her major arguments into...

Evaluating Leucopis species (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae) from the Pacific Northwest as potential biological control agents of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae)

Creator:: Grubin, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand, is a destructive introduced pest of hemlock trees in eastern North America, and management has focused on the use of natural enemies through classical biological control. Two species of chamaemyiid flies, Leucopis argenticollis Zetterstedt and Leucopis atrifacies (Aldrich) have been collected previously from western...
