  • Connections between combinatorics of permutations and algorithms and geometry

    Creator:
    Wills, Dean Connable
    Abstract:
    Geometric Problems become increasingly intractable and difficult to visualize as the number of dimensions increases beyond three. Inductions from lower dimensional spaces are possible yet often awkward. This thesis shows how elementary linear algebra, vector calculus, and combinatorics offer improved methods for calculating the dihedral angles of n-simplicies and proving...

  • Some results in probability from the functional analytic viewpoint

    Creator:
    Gelbaum, Zachary A.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents some results from various areas of probability theory, the unifying theme being the use of functional analytic intuition and techniques. We first give a result regarding the existence of certain stochastic integral representations for Banach space valued Gaussian random variables. Next we give a spectral geometric construction...

  • 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...

  • Transport of the copepod, Calanus finmarchicus, in the northwest Atlantic during diapause

    Creator:
    Kowalke, Gregory L.
    Abstract:
    The copepod Calanus finmarchicus is the most important and biomass dominant mesozooplankter in the temperate-boreal North Atlantic. C. finmarchicus has an overwintering phase, termed diapause, during which it descends to great depths (300-2000m) and is metabolically quiescent for up to ten months. Changes in the currents at depth due to...

  • Bioenergetics and behavior of the krill Euphausia pacifica in the California Current System off the Oregon coast

    Creator:
    Lindsey, Brie J.
    Abstract:
    Euphausia pacifica, the North Pacific krill, is a key grazer in the California Current System and an important prey item for consumers such as salmon, seabirds, and whales. As a crucial link between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels, it is essential to understand both the behavior and bioenergetics of this...

  • A study of factors affecting the extraction of flavor when dry hopping beer

    Creator:
    Wolfe, Peter Harold
    Abstract:
    This work set out to examine the methodologies of dry hopping, compare different hop materials, and look at the extraction behavior of different types of hop compounds. This work consists of two discrete studies, where the first study informed the design of the second. The first study measured the concentrations...

  • Do parties matter in FDI : how U.S. political parties relate to U.S. FDI in a gravity model setting

    Creator:
    Helm, Harold Andrew
    Abstract:
    This study examines the relation between political parties in the United States and foreign direct investment (FDI) using a panel data gravity model of 42 countries from 1980 to 2006. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party differ on economic platforms, and the changing of relative power in government between...

  • Foraging ecology and reproductive energetics of the Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) in Southeast Alaska

    Creator:
    Hatch, Nick R.
    Abstract:
    The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a species of conservation concern over the entirety of its known range, which spans coastal Alaska and northeastern Russia. Concerns about the status of the species have been raised due to evidence of population declines in key breeding areas, low reproductive output, and perceived...

  • Modeled Larval Connectivity Patterns in two Coral Reef Regions : the Western Caribbean and the Kenyan-Tanzanian Shelf

    Creator:
    Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela
    Abstract:
    Tropical coral reef ecosystems are very important from both the ecological and economical points of view. However, they are also particularly fragile, and have been declining in recent years in most regions of the world, since they are highly susceptible to anthropogenic stressors operating at global scales (e.g., global warming...

  • Modeling Transport, Retention, and Growth of Early Life Stages of Small Pelagic Fishes in the Southern Humboldt System

    Creator:
    Gomez, Fabian A.
    Abstract:
    Small pelagic fishes (SPF), such as anchovies and sardines, are ecologically important due to their large abundance and intermediate trophic position that links plankton production to upper trophic levels. They are also economically important, supporting large fisheries that contribute to one fourth of the world fish landings. Reproductive success in...
