William Keith Brooks (1848-1908) : a case study in morphology and the development of American biology

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: The major historical studies that have examined American biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application of...

An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

Creator:: Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
Abstract:: The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

Genetic diversity in coastal cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: Genetic diversity of two salmonid species, Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in Prince William Sound, Alaska were examined at multiple spatial scales with three molecular markers. Pleistocene glaciers covered what is now Prince William Sound 8,000- 12,000 years ago and both species colonized the...

A Computational Method for Building Spherical Pictures and Theoretic Results from Explicit Constructions

Creator:: Merzenich, Matthias C.
Abstract:: Let H be a cyclically-presented group on n generators with a single defining relator. Attempts have been made to classify such groups by their order, their status as a 3-manifold group, and the asphericity status of their presentations. For groups with a defining relator of length 3 these classifications are...

Harlequin duck demography during winter in Prince William Sound, Alaska : effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill

Creator:: Esler, Daniel
Abstract:: The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was a major perturbation of nearshore habitats of Prince William Sound, a wintering area for harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus). This research was designed to evaluate harlequin duck population recovery from the oil spill from 1995 to 1998, using a demographic approach to assess both...

On the Logical Independence of (DR) and (CLA)

Creator:: Birnbaum. Dionysus A.
Abstract:: In 1941, J.H.C. Whitehead posed the question of whether asphericity is a hereditary property for 2-dimensional CW complexes. This question remains unanswered, but has led to the development of several algebraic and topological properties that are sufficient (but not necessary) for the asphericity of presentation 2-complexes. While many of the...

Shift dynamics for cyclically presented groups with length four positive relators

Creator:: Parker, Forrest W.
Abstract:: In 2014, W. Bogley identified a relation between the algebraic and geometric prop- erties of cyclically presented groups Gn (w) in the case where w = x0xkxl is a positive word of length three. Specifically, it was shown that the dynamics of the shift θG on the group G =...

Splittings of skeletal homotopy modules

Creator:: Seaders, Nicole Sheree
Abstract:: This thesis is devoted to determining structure results on a group relative to a subgroup, using information about the kernel of the boundary map of associated free resolutions. If Y is a CW-complex with homotopy type K(G,1) then for n ≥ 2 the nth skeletal homotopy module, hn(Y ) =...

Rigidity of Vertex-Regular Actions on Fuchsian Buildings

Creator:: Smith, Samantha T.
Abstract:: We present a method by which torsion-free groups of automorphisms of a 2-dimensional hyperbolic building which act simply transitively on the vertex set can be constructed, and prove that any such group can be obtained by this construction. The method produces groups defined by finite presentations with strong small cancellation...
