Above and Below : Oregon Coastal Phytoplankton Bloom Dynamics from Sea and Space

Creator:: McKibben, S. Morgaine
Abstract:: Phytoplankton are a sentinel class of organisms in the marine environment. Through their photosynthetic activity in sunlit waters worldwide, phytoplankton shape the health and productivity of marine ecosystems and impact the global climate. In this work a range of ocean sensing technologies (via ships, surf zone sampling, moorings, gliders, and...

Some possible roles for selenium in the reproductive physiology of the male graytailed vole (Microtus canicaudus)

Creator:: Whitfield, Stephen Curtiss
Abstract:: The testes of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus Miller) exhibited a high affinity for selenium relative to other selected tissues. Uptake of selenium-75 in the testis-epididymis complex was delayed relative to uptake by the whole body, kidney, and liver. This pattern of uptake suggested that selenium was metabolically incorporated into...

Dynamic seascapes : a quantitative framework for scaling pelagic ecology and biogeochemistry

Creator:: Kavanaugh, Maria T.
Abstract:: Understanding and modeling microbial responses and feedbacks to climate change is hampered by a lack of a framework in the pelagic environment by which to link local mechanism to large scale patterns. Where terrestrial ecology draws from landscape theory and practice to address issues of scale, the pelagic seascape concept...

Model Predictive Control for Underwater Robots in Ocean Waves

Creator:: Fernández, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Underwater robots beneath ocean waves can benefit from feedforward control to reduce position error. This thesis proposes a method using Model Predictive Control (MPC) to predict and counteract future disturbances from an ocean wave field. The MPC state estimator employs a Linear Wave Theory (LWT) solver to approximate the component...

Education of American research astronomers, 1876-1941

Creator:: Hall, Robert Dale, 1947-
Abstract:: The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941 is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes: the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading community of astronomers, the...

Recombinant vaccines against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus : bacterial systems for vaccine production and delivery

Creator:: Simon, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Several systems were examined for the production and delivery of recombinant vaccines for fish. C. crescentus was employed to produce a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein. When administered by injection to 0.5 gram rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), one of the fusion proteins (184 amino acids of the IHNV glycoprotein fused...

Role of Extreme Events on Sedimentation in Loon Lake, Oregon Coast Range, USA

Creator:: Richardson, Kristin Noel Duckworth
Abstract:: Sediment cores were retrieved from a landslide-dammed lake, recording events back to the 5th century AD in a forested, mountainous catchment. These cores provide an opportunity to compare the impacts of known recent perturbations, including floods and timber harvesting with those of the early period of the core, flood, fire,...

Diffusion coefficients of isopropyl alcohol in binary and multicomponent gas systems involving air and argon

Creator:: Lee, Sung Chun
Abstract:: Diffusion coefficients for isopropyl alcohol-air, isopropyl alcohol-argon, isopropyl alcohol-mixture of argon 1 : air 1, isopropyl alcohol-mixture of argon 1 : air 2, and carbon tetrachloride-air system were determined, using an Arnold cell technique. The measured carbon tetrachloride-air system diffusion coefficient was compared with previously measured values to verify the...

Characterization of microaggregate formation by Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis

Creator:: Babrak, Lmar
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subsp hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic environmental pathogen that causes respiratory and gastrointestinal illness in immunocompromised persons such as those with chronic respiratory diseases or AIDs, respectively. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections, including in cystic...
