Independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination : tropical forest fragmentation alters hummingbird movements and pollination dynamics

Creator:: Hadley, Adam S.
Abstract:: A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, and (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects of such processes is critical in designing effective management strategies to limit...

Fighting tradition : Hemingway’s Nick Adams and shell shock

Creator:: McGrath, Cole P.
Abstract:: In his Nick Adams stories, Ernest Hemingway traces the life of a single man as he moves from boyhood to adolescence to adulthood to fatherhood. From the beginning of Nick Adams life, it is clear that he does not fit into the role of the traditional hero. In addition, Nick...

Improving the post-thaw processing of cryopreserved red blood cells using a combined approach of mathematical modeling and microfluidics

Creator:: Lusianti, Ratih E.
Abstract:: This study lays the groundwork on potential techniques that could be employed to improve the post-thaw wash processing of cryopreserved human red blood cells. Transfusion of red blood cells is one of the most commonly practiced procedures in clinical medicine. Millions of red blood cell units are transfused to patients...

Development of Micellar and Nanoparticle Structures based on Polyester Diblock Copolymer Platform for the Treatment of Metastatic Tumors

Creator:: Doddapaneni, Bhuvana S.
Abstract:: Poor aqueous solubility of a large number of newly discovered chemical entities is posing a significant challenge for the formulation industry and is delaying their drug development. The number of formulation techniques available to solubilize these poorly soluble molecules is very limited. In addition to that, traditional formulation methods involve...

A bioeconomic analysis of altering instream flows anadromous fish production and competing demands for water in the John Day River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, Neal S.
Abstract:: The growing demand for water in the arid regions of the West increases the need for optimal allocation of water among competing uses. An efficient allocation of water between instream and out-of-stream uses has been impeded by institutional constraints and the scarcity of information regarding instream flow benefits. The objectives...

Essays on the economics of wildlife management

Creator:: Rashford, Benjamin S.
Abstract:: Wildlife managers are on the front lines of the effort to conserve wildlife and are required to do so cost-effectively. This dissertation consists of three manuscripts that integrate economics and ecology to inform cost-effective wildlife management. The first and second manuscripts focus on identifying cost-effective wildlife management plans. The third...

Effects of econometric and activity analysis derived supply curves on Canadian sawmilling industry market forecasts

Creator:: Latta, Gregory S.
Abstract:: This study utilizes the Timber Assessment Market Model (TAMM) to examine the differences in Canadian softwood lumber market forecasts arising from econometric versus activity analysis supply curves. A restricted profit function approach is applied to three lumber producing regions using the most recent data available on costs, prices, and output...

Modeling abiotic influences on disease dynamics for the complex life cycle of the myxozoan parasite Ceratomyxa shasta

Creator:: Ray, Robert Adam
Abstract:: Most parasites and their hosts live in a balance within their environment; however a disease outbreak can occur when either the parasite, host, or environment, are perturbed. Myxozoan parasites are associated with a wide variety of cultured and wild fish populations. Most myxozoans are relatively benign to their vertebrate host;...

Two Studies Addressing Practical Needs of Wheat Farmers, Processors, and Breeders : Changes in Falling Number and Alpha-amylase During Grain Storage, and Improved Predictions of Wheat-flour Dough Properties

Creator:: Adams, Mike R.
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally traded staple food crop. The diverse and pleasing nature of wheat-derived products is a result of the complex interactions of the polymeric components from the wheat endosperm. Changes in the functionality of these polymeric components, as a result of changes in growing conditions or...

Towards a national map of soil liquefaction susceptibility : modeling with heuristic and geotechnical methods

Creator:: Lindsley, Adam E.
Abstract:: This study investigates the use of predictive mapping techniques as well as geotechnical criteria in developing a multiregional soil liquefaction model and subsequent maps. The maps were produced using National Cooperative Soil Survey data, in the gSSURGO format, combined with soil liquefaction data gathered from studies, articles, and traditional seismic...
