The complexity of nonresident father involvement in low-income families : mothers' perspectives

Creator:: Sano, Yoshie
Abstract:: The two studies of this dissertation examined mothers' perspectives of nonresident fathers' involvement in low-income families. The overall goal of these studies was to gain a more comprehensive understanding of nonresident fathers' involvement and its effect on family well-being. In the first study I applied a relatively new methodology, zero-inflated...

Role of propagule pressure and priority effects on plant establishment during restoration of invaded shrub-steppe

Creator:: Schantz, Merilynn C.
Abstract:: Biological plant invasions are diminishing the ecological integrity and function of ecosystems worldwide. A primary example of this is in the Great Basin of the United States, where invasive annual grasses, like cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae L. Nevski), are dominating many sagebrush-steppe ecosystems. In these invaded...

Forest-meadow dynamics in the central western Oregon Cascades : topographic, biotic,and environmental change effects

Creator:: Rice, Janine M.
Abstract:: Montane meadows comprise a small area of the predominantly forested landscape of the Oregon Cascade Range. Tree encroachment in the last century in these areas has threatened a loss of biodiversity and habitat. Climate change in the coming century may accelerate tree encroachment into meadows, and exacerbate biodiversity loss. Multiple...

Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

Creator:: Brown, Nathaniel M.
Abstract:: Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

Investigation of the hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems survey and its impact on hospital performance

Creator:: Worley, June M.
Abstract:: In 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began requiring many hospitals in the United States to randomly survey patients who had stayed at least one night in the hospital. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey provides hospitals with valuable performance measurement data built...

Grazer-resource Behavior, Interactions, and Feedbacks Control Kelp-forest Dynamics and Stability

Creator:: Randell, Zachary H.
Abstract:: How the direct and indirect effects of species interactions cascade to affect community structure, functioning, and stability is a fundamental question in ecology. In temperate kelp forests, species interactions, in conjunction with environmental processes, produce rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Arguably the most dramatic of these are abrupt shifts in community state,...

Vegetation ecology and net primary productivity of selected freshwater wetlands in Oregon

Creator:: Boss, Theodore R. (Theodore Robert)
Abstract:: Vegetation ecology of eight Oregon freshwater wetlands was described and net aerial primary productivity estimated in four wetlands. Plant cover samples were used to classify 37 wetland and 11 terrestrial communities by agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Samples and species were ordinated. Direct measurements were made of sample relative elevation, inundation duration,...
