Bridging the Gap Between Equilibrium Properties and Ultrafast Dynamics with Time-Resolved Spectroscopy of Functional Systems

Creator:: Krueger, Taylor D.
Abstract:: Ultrafast spectroscopy has recently gained momentum as a powerful, noninvasive characterization toolset capable of studying a diverse array of samples with applications in chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and more. Two popular ultrafast spectroscopic techniques include femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) and femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). The latter of these techniques...

Capturing Molecular Movies of Organic and Organometallic Systems in Solution by Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Creator:: Boulanger, Sean A.
Abstract:: Ultrafast spectroscopy can exploit the structure-function relationship of chemical- and biological-based systems. More specifically, femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) provides ground- and excited-state vibrational information with simultaneously high spectral (spatial) and temporal resolutions. The electronic counterpart, femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA), complements FSRS data analysis as part of a comprehensive approach...

Perceived food autonomy : measurement and relationships with food satisfaction among assisted living residents

Creator:: Jambi, Hanan A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop an instrument to measure perceived food autonomy (PFA) among cognitively alert residents in state licensed Assisted Living (AL) facilities, and to investigate the influence of PFA on food satisfaction, while controlling for functional (physical, social, and psychological) status, general health, and...

Tracking Excited State Proton Transfer and Inhibition with Ultrafast Raman and Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

Creator:: Oscar, Breland G.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, excited state proton transfer (ESPT) and its inhibition in solution and protein environments are revealed using both femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy and femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). Using a tunable Raman pump to enhance transient vibrational features of the photoacidic chromophore HPTS in methanol and methanol...

Aspects of the foraging ecology of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage, Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Szabo, Andrew R.
Abstract:: The North Pacific humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) population has been increasing at an average annual rate of ~6% since the early 1990s. In northern Southeast Alaska alone, there are now more whales than estimated for the entire North Pacific several decades ago. An understanding of how this growing population is...

Fallow water retention and wheat growth as affected by tillage method and surface soil compaction

Creator:: Schillinger, William F.
Abstract:: No-tillage winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in a wheat-fallow cropping system has consistently produced lower grain yields than conventionally tilled soils in the semiarid Pacific Northwest. A 2-year study was conducted in a long-term tillage trial at Moro, OR to determine factors responsible for differences in wheat growth and...

Some genetic and environmental factors affecting performance and carcass measurements in swine

Creator:: Spurr, David Tupper, 1938-
Abstract:: Data from 592 litters of pigs farrowed and raised at the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station at Corvallis from the spring of 1961 through the spring of 1968 were analyzed for effects of year and season of birth, breed, sex, inbreeding and age of dam on measures of fecundity, growth rate...

A quantitative genetic analysis of fitness characters in Tribolium confusum

Creator:: Zirkle, Dave F.
Abstract:: The objective of this study is to assess the quantitative genetic structure of fitness characters in Tribolium confusum flour beetles. Estimates of genetic variation and covariation for a series of fitness components (two measurements of survival, larval weight, development time, fecundity, and female productivity) were obtained from two populations of...

Coastal Dunes as Meta-Ecosystems: Connecting Marine Subsidies to Dune Ecosystem Functions on the U.S. Pacific Northwest Coast

Creator:: Constant, Vanessa
Abstract:: Ecological communities are connected in space and time through the transfer of energy, materials, and organisms, together known as ecological subsidies. These ecological subsidies can have substantial effects on community structure, function, and services, especially when the connections are between communities with contrasting productivity. At the ocean-land interface, low productivity...

Teacher Math Anxiety and Math Instructional Time

Creator:: Morton, Heidi L.
Abstract:: The scientific way of knowing, which results in tremendous advancements in our society, heavily depends on the use of mathematics. Given that math touches nearly every aspect of peoples’ lives in different ways, it is critical that today’s students and tomorrow’s citizens have a solid understanding of math. Unfortunately, a...
