Repeated sequences associated with inversions and length mutations in the chloroplast genomes of Pseudotsuga and Pinus

Creator:: Hipkins, Valerie D.
Abstract:: To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are characterized by shared large inversions that are...

A Mixed Methods Analysis of Philippine Labor Export Policies and Impacts on Overseas Filipino Workers

Creator:: O'Steen, Brianna
Abstract:: The Philippines’ labor export system is a complex web of policy instruments that have been amended, repealed, and refined over the last four decades. The laws along with the hortatory tools used to promote them have shaped the lives of millions of Filipinos, separating families across oceans. Temporary labor migration,...

Privacy-Sensitive Robotics

Creator:: Rueben, Matthew R.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on personal privacy in human-robot interaction, which we call "privacy-sensitive robotics." Our understanding of "privacy" is very broad, including not just information privacy but also physical, psychological, and social privacy. We begin by surveying the scholarly literature on privacy and talking about why it applies to interactions...

Examination of airborne discrete-return lidar in prediction and identification of unique forest attributes

Creator:: Wing, Brian M.
Abstract:: Airborne discrete-return lidar is an active remote sensing technology capable of obtaining accurate, fine-resolution three-dimensional measurements over large areas. Discrete-return lidar data produce three-dimensional object characterizations in the form of point clouds defined by precise x, y and z coordinates. The data also provide intensity values for each point that...

Phylogenomics and Evolution of Ground Beetles, with an Emphasis on the Speciose Tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Creator:: Pflug, James M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I investigate the evolution and genomes of carabid beetles, a worldwide family of over 38,000 species. I focus on two species-rich groups, the tribes Chlaeniini and Bembidiini, both of which are primarily found on the shores of bodies of water. The former are distinctive for their defensive...

Development of Computational, Visualization, and Molecular Tools for Fungal and Oomycete Community Ecology

Creator:: Foster, Zachary Stephen Longiaru
Abstract:: Oomycetes are an important group of organisms with a variety of ecological roles similar to fungi. Although many are well-studied plant pathogens known for their devastating effects on agricultural systems, most are little-studied saprobes and parasites of plants and animals in nearly every ecosystem on earth. The advent of affordable...
