Rapid endangered species assessment : a novel approach to improve extinction risk assessments in poorly known species

Creator:: Bianchi, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The number of endangered species is rapidly increasing while paucity of adequate information and resources delays establishment of conservation actions. The IUCN’s listing system is insufficient to determine conservation priorities and many species lack information even to be evaluated (i.e., “data deficient”). Here I proposed and tested the Rapid Endangered...

Survival Assessment, Inactivation Kinetics Models, and Farm-to-Table Quantitative Risk Analysis of Food Pathogens

Creator:: Deng, Kai
Abstract:: About 48 million cases of Foodborne illnesses (FBIs) are estimated to occur every year in the US. These are diseases caused by contamination of foods with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and toxic chemicals. Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are an important health-care and community associated problem. Since C. difficile spores have...

The Deschutes Formation: evidence of extension-enhanced explosivity in the early High Cascades

Creator:: Pitcher, Bradley W.
Abstract:: The eruptive history of the Quaternary Cascades arc has been relatively well characterized. However, much less is known about the frequency and sizes of explosive eruptions produced by earlier stages of the arc. The Late Neogene Deschutes Formation of Central Oregon preserves a remarkable record of heightened pyroclastic activity during...

Challenges to stakeholder participation in coastal resource management : Allen, Northern Samar, Philippines

Creator:: Ulrich, Donald R.
Abstract:: Collaborative management of subsistence fisheries in the Philippines requires policies that devolve authority to the local level. This involves creating mechanisms to hold managers accountable for creating opportunities for active participation by fisher folk communities. The Philippines has created a comprehensive national framework for the co-management of coastal resources at...

Organic-solvent resistant ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membrane modules for separation and purification of nanoparticles

Creator:: Kim, Taehyeong
Abstract:: The intriguing size- and shape dependent properties of nanoparticles have garnered recent attention in many science and engineering areas. When the particle size is in the nanometer size range, the material exhibits very different properties such as surface plasmon resonance (of gold nanoparticles) and superparamagnetism (of iron oxide nanoparticles). The...

Studies on resistance of rice to Sogatodes oryzicola (Muir) and a parasitoid, Haplogonatopus sp., in Costa Rica

Creator:: Alvarez B., Francisco
Abstract:: Twenty-one rice cultivars were evaluated to determine the difference between populations of Sogatodes oryzicola (Muir) (Homoptera: Delphacidae) in Costa Rica and Colombia, Survival, mortality and population development of S. oryzicola on five selected cultivars was used to determine levels of plant resistance. The importance and potential of the parasitoid-predator Haplogonatopus...

Leveraging multi-sensor time series datasets to map short- and long-term forest disturbances and drivers of change in the Colombian Andes

Creator:: Murillo Sandoval, Paulo Jose
Abstract:: The spatial distribution of forest disturbance is commonly calculated using a satellite imagery-driven bi- or tri-temporal change analysis. Working in Colombia’s Cordillera de los Picachos National Natural Park – a region of consistent cloud cover and dramatic topographic relief – a change assessment with such infrequent observations cannot capture long-term...

Onset of symbiosis in a cnidarian-dinoflagellate association

Creator:: deBoer, Melissa L.
Abstract:: Scleractinian corals, like many other cnidarians, engage in intracellular symbiosis with dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium. This association makes invaluable structural and energetic contributions to the marine environment and to the coral reef ecosystem in particular. While many aspects of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate relationship have been well studied, nothing is...

Devil Dog Diplomacy and the abandonment of military tradition : United States Foreign Policy in Central America and the Caribbean, 1915-1934

Creator:: Geissler, Eric L.
Abstract:: During the U.S. military interventions in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti between 1915 and 1934, Washington equipped members of the its armed forces with civil and political powers that represented a radical departure from the North American military tradition. This abandonment of tradition decisively contributed to both the disappointments...
