The Role of Formulas in Students' Solution Strategies in regard to Combinatorics

Creator:: Gordon, Cheyenne M.
Abstract:: There are many reasons toward why students withhold such negative mindsets toward the subject of mathematics. This thesis builds upon previously conducted research concerning affect and confidence in mathematical problem solving, confidence that students exhibit about themselves, and combinatorial thinking and activity.

Justice Isn't Fair: A Collection of Monologues

Creator:: Ferriso, Alessandra B.
Abstract:: I always knew I was interested in the criminal justice system, evident from the hours I spent as a child binge watching Law & Order, Rizzoli and Isles, and Dateline when my parents weren’t home. I very nearly pursued criminal justice as a major, but ended up going a different...

The role of molecular architecture in the hydration properties of brewers’ spent grain

Creator:: Yang, Jasmin S.
Abstract:: An emerging strategy to reducing food waste is converting food processing byproducts to nutritious and inexpensive food ingredients. A relevant food processing waste stream is brewers’ spent grain (BSG), the primary byproduct of beer production. BSG is a promising candidate as a food ingredient because of its high protein and...

Fine-scale spatial and temporal genomic variation among Dungeness crab Cancer magister larval recruits in the California Current Ecosystem

Creator:: Lee, Elizabeth M. J. and O'Malley, Kathleen G.
Abstract:: Dynamic marine environments can shape complex spatial and temporal patterns in the population connectivity of marine species, and this is often exemplified in species with long larval phases. Here, we used a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach to examine fine-scale spatial and temporal genomic variation among Dungeness crab Cancer magister larval recruits...

Big fishery, big data, and little crabs : using genomic methods to examine the seasonal recruitment patterns of early life stage dungeness crab (Cancer magister) in the California Current ecosystem

Creator:: Lee, Elizabeth M. J. and O'Malley, Kathleen
Abstract:: The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a dynamic marine ecosystem from which many socioeconomically important fisheries species are harvested. Here, a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to examine genomic variation in an early life stage (megalopae) of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), which constitutes the most valuable single-species commercial fishery...

Grassland Arthropods Are Controlled by Direct and Indirect Interactions with Cattle but Are Largely Unaffected by Plant Provenance

Creator:: Farrell, Kelly Anne, Harpole, W. Stanley, Stein, Claudia, Suding, Katharine N., and Borer, Elizabeth T.
Abstract:: Cattle grazing and invasion by non-native plant species are globally-ubiquitous changes occurring to plant communities that are likely to reverberate through whole food webs. We used a manipulative field experiment to quantify how arthropod community structure differed in native and non-native California grassland communities in the presence and absence of...

Evidence of age-related improvement in the foraging efficiency of Adelie penguins

Creator:: Lescroel, Amelie, Ballard, Grant, Massaro, Melanie, Dugger, Katie, Jennings, Scott, Pollard, Annie, Porzig, Elizabeth, Schmidt, Annie, Varsani, Arvind, Gremillet, David, and Ainley, David
Abstract:: Age variation in reproductive performance is well-documented but the mechanisms underlying this variation remain unclear. Foraging efficiency is likely to be a key source of demographic variation as it determines the amount of energy that can be invested in fitness-related activities. Evidence of age related changes in the foraging efficiency...

Early season N2O emissions under variable water management in rice systems: source-partitioning emissions using isotope ratios along a depth profile

Creator:: Verhoeven, Elizabeth, Barthel, Matti, Yu, Longfei, Celi, Luisella, Said-Pullicino, Daniel, Sleutel, Steven, Lewicka-Szczebak, Dominika, Six, Johan, and Decock, Charlotte
Abstract:: Soil moisture strongly affects the balance between nitrification, denitrification and N2O reduction and therefore the nitrogen (N) efficiency and N losses in agricultural systems. In rice systems, there is a need to improve alternative water management practices, which are designed to save water and reduce methane emissions but may increase...

Ocean Acidification Has Multiple Modes of Action on Bivalve Larvae

Creator:: Waldbusser, George G., Hales, Burke, Langdon, Chris J., Haley, Brian A., Schrader, Paul, Brunner, Elizabeth L., Gray, Matthew W., Miller, Cale A., Gimenez, Iria, and Hutchinson, Greg
Abstract:: Ocean acidification (OA) is altering the chemistry of the world’s oceans at rates unparalleled in the past roughly 1 million years. Understanding the impacts of this rapid change in baseline carbonate chemistry on marine organisms needs a precise, mechanistic understanding of physiological responses to carbonate chemistry. Recent experimental work has...

Abstract:: While there is a persistent inverse relationship between latitude and species diversity across many taxa and ecosystems, deviations from this norm offer an opportunity to understand the conditions that contribute to large-scale diversity patterns. Marine systems, in particular, provide such an opportunity, as marine diversity does not always follow a...

Abstract:: With the ongoing crisis of biodiversity loss and limited resources for conservation, the concept of biodiversity hotspots has been useful in determining conservation priority areas. However, there has been limited research into how temporal variability in biodiversity may influence conservation area prioritization. To address this information gap, we present an...

Abstract:: The future of agricultural research depends on data. The sheer volume of agricultural biological data being produced today makes excellent data management essential. Governmental agencies, publishers and science funders require datamanagement plans for publicly funded research. Furthermore, the value of data increases exponentially when they are properly stored, described, integrated...
