Wildfire risk management : strategic interaction and spatial interdependence

Creator:: Busby, Gwenlyn M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I examine how the spatial configuration of forest ownership influences the risk-mitigating behavior of public and private forestland owners over time. I determine whether or not the predicted equilibrium outcomes are socially optimal and, if not, whether the introduction of regulation, liability, or private insurance would lead...

Water Wits : The Development and Evaluation of a New Model for Integrated Marine Science, Safety, and Stewardship Education

Creator:: Roberts, Sara Shaw
Abstract:: There are many different organizations and agencies which share responsibility for educating the public about responsible use of aquatic and marine resources. However, organizations specifically focused on particular dimensions of water use, such as Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB), often face challenges when attempting to recruit teachers to implement educational...

Visualizers, visualizations, and visualizees : differences in meaning-making by scientific experts and novices from global visualizations of ocean data

Creator:: Stofer, Kathryn A.
Abstract:: Data visualizations designed for academic scientists are not immediately meaningful to everyday scientists. Communicating between a specialized, expert audience and a general, novice public is non-trivial; it requires careful translation. However, more widely available visualization technologies and platforms, including new three-dimensional spherical display systems in schools and informal science education...

Using Culture-independent Genomics as a Means for Understanding Chlamydial Biology

Creator:: Putman, Timothy E.
Abstract:: The chlamydiae are a family of obligate intracellular bacteria that have a unique bi-phasic developmental cycle, unique cellular properties, and a unique set of challenges to studying its biology. While genetic manipulation is becoming routine in Chlamydia, there are significant challenges to working with this intracellular parasite. The body of...

Uranium and technetium bio-immobilization in intermediate-scale physical models of an in situ bio-barrier

Creator:: Michalsen, Mandy M.
Abstract:: Metal and hydrogen ion acidity and extreme nitrate concentrations typical of Department of Energy (DOE) legacy waste sites pose formidable challenges to successful implementation of in situ bio-immobilization. Intermediate-scale (~ 2.5 m), flow through models of an in situ bio-barrier were constructed to investigate U and Tc removal from groundwater...

Unpacking docent practice in free choice science learning settings : a qualitative study documenting the what and whys of docent interpretive practice

Creator:: Good, Laura H.
Abstract:: Museum settings including aquariums, zoos and science centers rely heavily on their volunteer docent populations to interact with and communicate science and conservation concepts to the visiting public. The interactions docents have with museum visitors are important to meeting the educational expectations of museums and improving public science literacy as...

Traversing the city of blogs : pedagogy, performance, and public spheres

Creator:: Faris, Michael J.
Abstract:: In this thesis, I conduct an analysis of blogs in order to understand their potential use in the composition classroom with the goals of students writing for a public audience and developing their rhetorical and civic agency. I do so by exploring the potential for the blogosphere as a public...

Transactivational activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53 is dependent on thioredoxin reductase activity in mammalian cells

Creator:: Merwin, Jason R.
Abstract:: Reporter gene transactivation by human p53 is inhibited in budding yeast lacking the TRR1 gene encoding thioredoxin reductase. Thioredoxin reductase specifically catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of thioredoxin. Thioredoxin provides a source of electrons for disulfide reduction in various cellular processes. Reduction of disulfides within the cell can be accomplished by...
