Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into the Management of Alaska’s Kenai River Watershed

Creator:: Reilly, Melissa S.
Abstract:: The impacts of climate change are being observed worldwide. However, some regions and context specific situations make particular areas more vulnerable to the impacts than others. Alaska’s Kenai River Watershed (KRW) is on the front lines of climate change and may be especially vulnerable to the impacts due to distinct...

Adoptive Transfer of Purified Hematopoietic Stem Cells Protects Against Bone Loss Following Lethal Radiation

Creator:: Deyhle, Richard Thomas, Jr.
Abstract:: The objectives of this research is to advance human health by evaluating interventions to minimize the detrimental effects of acute whole body gamma irradiation on bone metabolism, bone architecture and bone reconstruction using a mouse model. Total body irradiation (TBI) followed by adoptive transfer of bone marrow from donor animals...

Causes and consequences of uncertainty in the application of a biogeochemical model to a large geographic region

Creator:: Kennedy, Robert Emmet, 1970-
Abstract:: When biogeochemical models are applied to large regions, the values of key model parameters are often unknowable. Through field and modeling studies, I examined the potential impact of such uncertainty on estimates of carbon cycling in western Oregon. I found that variation in key leaf traits could be interpreted ecologically,...

Effectual Entrepreneurship and its Application to a Microfluidics R&D Startup

Creator:: Brown, Matthew E.
Abstract:: An inventor seeks to leverage his unique means in order to create and commercially exploit new technologies. Until new technologies are sufficiently developed, they have the theoretical potential for commercial exploitation in a wide range of markets. Those opportunities are limited by physical bounds that are often only discovered through...

Honored values and valued objects : the Society for Creative Anachronism

Creator:: Turner, Althea L.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I posited the need to understand how an invented community (the Society for Creative Anachronism) constructs symbolic meaning in material objects and value systems. Using ethnographic methods, I focused on the Knights and their regalia as this is the most widely accepted material symbolism. People go to...

Hypothalamic Leptin Gene Therapy Does Not Prevent Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss in Rats

Creator:: Jackson, Melanie A.
Abstract:: Post-menopausal women are at an increased risk for osteoporosis due to increased bone resorption associated with estrogen deficiency. Subcutaneous administration of leptin, a hormone produced primarily by adipocytes, attenuates bone loss in the ovariectomized (ovx) rat, an animal model for post-menopausal bone loss. Leptin has both direct peripheral and indirect...

Potential carbon storage at the landscape scale in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.

Creator:: Smithwick, Erica Ann Hoffa
Abstract:: Estimates of potential carbon (C) storage can be used to constrain predictions of future carbon sequestration and to understand the degree to which disturbances, both natural aid anthropogenic, affect C storage. An upper bound on C storage in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States was estimated using field...

Exploring resilience in the lives of women leaders in early childhood health, human services, and education

Creator:: Turner, Susan Diane
Abstract:: Women leaders in early childhood health, human services, and education face tremendous challenges in their efforts to cultivate resilience amidst a myriad of risk factors including incessant stress, low wages, and limited professional support. Women who foster mental health in young children and high-risk families are vulnerable to secondary traumatic...

Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

Creator:: Dietel, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

Effects of Galactooligosaccharides on the Gut Microbiota in Lactose Intolerant Individuals

Creator:: Angima, Gloria
Abstract:: Lactose intolerance is a common food intolerance that occurs because of a post-weaning deficiency of lactase, an enzyme that cleaves the glyosidic bond of lactose. About 75% of the world's population is lactose intolerant. Common symptoms of lactose intolerance are abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. ~25% of the world’s population...
