Intra‐ and inter‐annual variation in gray whale body condition on a foraging ground

Creator:: Soledade Lemos, Leila, Burnett, Jonathan D., Chandler, Todd E., Sumich, James L., and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Baleen whales store energy gained on foraging grounds to support reproduction and other metabolic needs while fasting for long periods during migration. Whale body condition can be used to monitor foraging success, and thus better understand and anticipate individual‐ and population‐level trends in reproduction and survival. We assessed the body...

AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Steele, Evan T.
Abstract:: The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

Isotopic constraints on the pre-industrial oceanic nitrogen budget

Creator:: Somes, C. J., Oschlies, A., and Schmittner, A.
Abstract:: The size of the bioavailable (i.e., “fixed”) nitrogen inventory in the ocean influences global marine productivity and the biological carbon pump. Despite its importance, the pre-industrial rates for the major source and sink terms of the oceanic fixed nitrogen budget, N₂ fixation and denitrification, respectively, are not well known. These...

Nested scales of spatial heterogeneity in juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma in the southeastern Bering Sea

Creator:: Benoit-Bird, Kelly J., McIntosh, Neal E., and Heppell, Scott A.
Abstract:: We sought to characterize the distribution of juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma in an area of intense predator-prey interactions and to describe habitat features that lead to their observed distributions. The distribution of juvenile walleye pollock around the Pribilof Islands in the southeastern Bering Sea in 2008 and 2009 was...

A regional real-time forecast of marine boundary layers during VOCALS-REx

Creator:: Wang, S., O'Neill, L. W., Jiang, Q., de Szoeke, Simon P., Hong, X., Jin, H., Thompson, W. T., and Zheng, X.
Abstract:: This paper presents an evaluation and validation of the Naval Research Laboratory's COAMPS® real-time forecasts during the VOCALS-REx over the area off the west coast of Chile/Peru in the Southeast Pacific during October and November 2008. The analyses focus on the marine boundary layer (MBL) structure. These forecasts are compared...

Using Community Gardens To Help Solve the Hunger Crisis in San Diego County, CA

Creator:: Dusek, Daniel
Abstract:: The World Health Organization defines food security as “all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.” The reality is that one in six Americans are not food secure, even though the US produces enough food to feed its national...

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...

Consortial-Based Customizations for New Primo UI

Creator:: Mealey, Nathan and Moore, Dan
Abstract:: Users interested in customizing their Primo installation are required to configure specific settings, files, and code during the View setup process. A consequence of this is that unique customizations are not easily sharable between institutions. With the release of the new Primo User Interface, Ex Libris has enabled institutions to...

Study of Organic Semiconductors Using Time-Resolved Charge Measurements at the Microscale

Creator:: Wallace, Richard
Abstract:: Understanding charge transfer in organic semiconductors is important for developing devices like organic light emitting diodes and flexible electronics. Optical tweezers have been used in many disciplines for trapping, manipulating, and analyzing microscopic objects such as microspheres, micro-organisms, and other colloidal particles. Using optical tweezers, studies have measured the average...
