  • 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. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • DNA UV damage-related control of ribonucleotide reductase : possible relationship to mutagenesis and the incidence of and attitudes toward skin cancer in several western nations

    Creator:
    Stenberg, John C.
    Abstract:
    Two strains of Escherichia coli were studied to determine the effect of constitutive expression of the SOS DNA damage repair response on the activity of ribonucleotide reductase. Activity of the reductase and cellular deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools were both determined before and after exposure of the cells to ultraviolet radiation....

  • Monsters in the mirror : literary reflections of mentally and physically deformed humanity in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene

    Creator:
    Bromley, Michele Joy
    Abstract:
    Monstrous beings, or distortions of nature, were a tangible object of fear in the medieval and early modern eras. Aristotle, as a precursor to the scientists and magical practitioners of the twelfth century or the barber-surgeons of the sixteenth century, understood monsters to be human or animal beings deformed by...

  • Dynamics of organic matter production and degradation during coastal diatom blooms

    Creator:
    Wetz, Michael S.
    Abstract:
    Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...

  • The distribution and partitioning of dissolved organic matter off the Oregon Coast : a first look

    Creator:
    Hill, Jon K.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first look at the spatial and temporal distributions of dissolved organic material (DOM) off the Oregon coast of North America. While this paper is not a comprehensive examination of these distributions, several patterns are identified as promising candidates for continued research....

  • Detection, classification and ecology of acoustic scattering layers

    Creator:
    Cade, David Edmund
    Abstract:
    Acoustic scattering layers of biological origin have been observed for nearly 70 years across the world’s oceans. The organisms that comprise these layers are known to be important features in most oceanic ecosystems, providing a vital trophic link between small phytoplankton grazers and larger species. There are many aspects of...

  • An investigation into nitrogen uptake by Emilania huxleyi during continuous darkness

    Creator:
    Royer, Ida M.
    Abstract:
    Experiments were conducted with two strains of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi. Previous experiments with CCMP1742 and 372 at a light intensity of 60 µEin/m²-s showed that during five-day periods of continuous darkness, strain 1742 was taking up nitrate from the media while strain 372 was not. The nitrate uptake in...

  • Structure-function analysis of the vaccinia virus I7L proteinase

    Creator:
    Moerdyk, Megan J.
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus is the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. It undergoes a complex replication process where a key step in the transition from immature virion to intracellular mature virion is the cleavage of the major core protein precursors. The product of the I7L open reading frame (ORF) is a...

  • Seconds to hour scale photosynthetic responses in marine microalgae

    Creator:
    Laney, Samuel R.
    Abstract:
    Our view of phytoplankton has historically revolved around their inability to control their location in space. The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...

    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to identify the intrinsic and extrinsic quality characteristics of West Coast albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga). Albacore tuna were troll caught off the Oregon coast and transferred to the Oregon State University Seafood laboratory in Astoria, Oregon. Core samples were extracted from six designated body...
