Classifying Octonionic-Linear Operators

Creator:: Putnam, Alexander
Abstract:: The goal of this paper is to classify linear operators with octonionic coefficients and octonionic variables. While building up to the octonions we also classify linear operators over the quaternions and show how to relate the linear operators over the quaternions and octonions to matrices. We also construct a basis...

A Multi-Year Longitudinal Study of Water Quality Parameters in Four Salmon-Bearing and Recreational Streams on Mount Hood, Oregon

Creator:: Wasowski, Ronald, Alexander, David, Kolmes, Steven, Banet, Nathan, Card, Amy, Haines, Morgan, Kolmes, Elijah, Northcutt, Kelly, Roemer, Derek, and Webber, Sarah
Abstract:: Four streams-Clear Fork, Lost Creek, Camp Creek and Still Creek-in northwestern Oregon's Sandy River Basin were monitored for temperature, dissolved oxygen levels, and fecal bacterial concentrations in a multi-year analysis examining stream health for recreational users and anchor habitat for Pacific Salmon. Temperatures were recorded using micro -T temperature loggers...

Trumpet of the Spirit, Bass of Faith: Jazz as a Cold War Spiritual Weapon

Creator:: Stoneburner, B. Lauren
Abstract:: This paper explores Jazz music during the Cold War. During the Cold War the U.S. went through a process of becoming more explicitly religious, identifying specifically a Judeo-Christian country. Particularly through foreign policy, the separation between church and state became less and less clear to the point where it seemed...

Simulating dynein’s powerstroke using Brownian dynamics

Creator:: Capek, Elliott
Abstract:: Dynein is a motor protein which transports cargo along tracks inside the cell. Like related motor proteins kinesin and myosin, dynein uses cellular energy to take steps with its two foot domains. Unlike kinesin or myosin, dynein’s stepping pattern is highly varied: it can take steps between zero and 60nm...

Phylogeny of minute carabid beetles and their relatives based upon DNA sequence data (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechitae)

Creator:: Maddison, David R. and Ober, Karen A.
Abstract:: The phylogeny of ground beetles of supertribe Trechitae is inferred using DNA sequences of genes that code for 28S ribosomal RNA, 18S ribosomal RNA, and wingless. Within the outgroups, austral psydrines are inferred to be monophyletic, and separate from the three genera of true Psydrina (Psydrus, Nomius, Laccocenus); the austral...

Ultraviolet Radiation Influences Perch Selection by a Neotropical Poison-Dart Frog

Creator:: Kats, Lee B., Bucciarelli, Gary M., Schlais, David E., Blaustein, Andrew R., and Han, Barbara A.
Abstract:: Ambient ultraviolet-B radiation can harm amphibian eggs, larvae and adults. However, some amphibians avoid UV-B radiation when given the opportunity. The strawberry poison dart frog, Oophaga pumilio, is diurnal and males vocalize throughout the day in light gaps under forest canopies that expose them to solar radiation. Previous studies have...

A new species of Bembidion (Ecuadion) from Ecuador (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Bembidiini), with a key to members of the georgeballi species group

Creator:: Maddison, David R. and Toledano, Luca
Abstract:: A new species of ground beetle, Bembidion ricei, is described from the Andes mountains of Ecuador east of Quito. It belongs to the georgeballi species group of subgenus Ecuadion, and is most similar to Bembidion georgeballi. A key to the species of the group is provided.

A potential implicit particle method for high-dimensional systems

Creator:: Weir, B., Miller, R. N., and Spitz, Y. H.
Abstract:: This paper presents a particle method designed for high-dimensional state estimation. Instead of weighing random forecasts by their distance to given observations, the method samples an ensemble of particles around an optimal solution based on the observations (i.e., it is implicit). It differs from other implicit methods because it includes...

How Effective Are DNA Barcodes in the Identification of African Rainforest Trees?

Creator:: Parmentier, Ingrid, Duminil, Jérôme, Kuzmina, Maria, Philippe, Morgane, Thomas, Duncan W., Kenfack, David, Chuyong, George B., Cruaud, Corinne, and Hardy, Olivier J.
Abstract:: Background: DNA barcoding of rain forest trees could potentially help biologists identify species and discover new ones. However, DNA barcodes cannot always distinguish between closely related species, and the size and completeness of barcode databases are key parameters for their successful application. We test the ability of rbcL, matK and...

A Phylogenetic Perspective on the Individual Species- Area Relationship in Temperate and Tropical Tree Communities

Creator:: Yang, Jie, Swenson, Nathan G., Cao, Min, Chuyong, George B., Ewango, Corneille E. N., Howe, Robert, Kenfack, David, Thomas, Duncan, Wolf, Amy, and Lin, Luxiang
Abstract:: Ecologists have historically used species-area relationships (SARs) as a tool to understand the spatial distribution of species. Recent work has extended SARs to focus on individual-level distributions to generate individual species area relationships (ISARs). The ISAR approach quantifies whether individuals of a species tend have more or less species richness...
