Comparison of the Characteristics and Attitudes of Dog Adopters from Three Dog Rescue Groups

Creator:: Zimmerman, Zelda L.
Abstract:: A web-based survey was conducted to investigate the relationships between adopters and the dogs they adopted from three types of rescue groups/organizations: humane societies, greyhound rescues, and pit bull rescues. The dog selected to adopt can vary for many reasons, one of which is breed preference. This study found dog...

Validation of elk distribution models at Sled Springs Wildlife Demonstration Area, northeast Oregon

Creator:: Coe, Priscilla K.
Abstract:: Landscape models for elk distribution developed at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range from 1993-1995 were tested on another landscape during 2003-2005 at Sled Springs Wildlife Demonstration Area. Using location data obtained from 23 wild elk captured and fitted with GPS telemetry collars, 8 spatial resource selection function models representing 8...

Exploring the Relationship Between Scientists’ Perspectives on Learning and Engagement in Outreach

Creator:: Barthel, Cèleste Frazier
Abstract:: Over the last several decades, there has been a marked increase in the amount of science outreach to the public with little attention paid to how scientists who conduct outreach perceive learning and how that applies to their outreach activities. This increase in outreach efforts is linked to the National...

Motivation and engagement in school among immigrant Latino middle school students

Creator:: Knudson-Martin, John
Abstract:: This study investigated how a minority population of Latino/a immigrant children attending a middle school in the Pacific Northwest made sense of engaging with school and school mathematics. A cross disciplinary theoretical framework was used to examine how individual student motivation is impacted by the social context in which the...

Study of Arabidopsis thaliana seed development : occurrence of germinability

Creator:: Hewitt, Jessica
Abstract:: Seed germination sensu stricto is defined as the physiological events before the radicle tip ruptures the covering tissues. The ability of the radicle to elongate (or germination potential) is observed in developing embryos prior to completion of seed maturation. When embryos at early developmental stages, such as globular, heart, torpedo...

Exploration of the feasibility of developing a winter hardy 'Marion' blackberry through genetic engineering

Creator:: Meng, Rengong
Abstract:: Experiments focusing on plant growth regulators’ concentrations and combination, mineral salt formulations and TDZ pretreatment formations were conducted to optimize in vitro shoot regeneration from leaf and petiole explants of 'Marion' blackberry. Optimum shoot formation was obtained when stock plants were incubated in TDZ pretreatment medium for three weeks before...

The Analysis of Hormone-dependent Transcription Factors and lncRNAs in Seeds by RNA Sequencing

Creator:: Sall, Khadidiatou
Abstract:: Seed dormancy is defined as the inability of viable seeds to germinate under conditionsotherwise favorable for germination. Dormancy provides a strategy for seeds to germinateat an appropriate time. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a major hormone involved in the regulationof seed dormancy. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of dormancy, the twoexperimental...

Reproductive biology and behavior of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) on Guam.

Creator:: Waye, Heather L.
Abstract:: While there are many more species of reptiles in the tropics than in temperate latitudes, relatively little is known about the natural history of tropical species of snakes. Even basic information, such as reproductive ecology and behavior, is lacking. Patterns of reproduction in tropical species differ from patterns in temperate...

Simple sequence repeat marker development and use in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Gürcan, Kahraman
Abstract:: New highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). were developed from several sources. The markers were characterized, and segregation in a mapping population allowed to assign them to linkage groups. Their transferability across genera and species in the Betulaceae family was investigated. SSR markers...

Developing self-efficacy and self-regulated learning in academic planning : applying social cognitive theory in academic advising to assess student learning outcomes

Creator:: Erlich, Richard J.
Abstract:: This dissertation demonstrates how Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986, 1997) can be successfully applied to Counselor academic advising interventions, in order to increase students' self-efficacy and self-regulated learning (Zimmerman, 2000) in academic planning as learned outcomes. This was accomplished by (a) reviewing the academic advising literature and showing the current...
