Beyond high hopes : educational attainment among children of immigrants

Creator:: Feeney, Sarah L.
Abstract:: In light of broadening racial/ethnic educational attainment gaps, growing diversity within young populations, and the increasingly critical relationship between higher education and outcomes in adulthood, understanding the factors that shape educational attainment is an especially important task for research. With this goal in mind, the current study examined how national...

From Micro to Macro: Insights into Biogeochemical Mechanisms that Shape Marine Systems

Creator:: Seabrook, Sarah
Abstract:: Biogeochemical mechanisms employed by key organisms, or symbiotic associations of organisms, transform the function and structure of their environment through processes recognized as ecosystem engineering. This dissertation seeks to investigate organism-ecosystem interactions that serve globally significant ecological functions in marine systems and impact how systems respond to environmental change. Using...

Development and validation of a fatigue reliability method for bridging materials

Creator:: Gallops, Sarah
Abstract:: Toughened ceramics, or bridging ceramics, are being developed in an attempt to widen the application base of traditional ceramics, which are brittle and have low resistance to crack extension. The crack growth resistance of these extrinsically toughened ceramics has been shown to increase with crack length, and unlike traditional ceramics,...

Factors affecting the Ceratomyxa shasta infectious cycle and transmission between polychaete and salmonid hosts

Creator:: Bjork, Sarah J.
Abstract:: Ceratomyxa shasta is a myxozoan parasite that infects salmonid fishes causing the disease ceratomyxosis that is characterized by severe hemorrhage and necrosis of the intestine and death of the fish host. Ceratomyxa shasta is endemic to the Pacific Northwestern United States and Canada, where epizootics are reported for both wild...

Investigation of the Patterns and Transcriptional Regulators from Gene Expression Profiles of Adult Murine Soleus and Tibialis Anterior Skeletal Muscles

Creator:: Alto, Sarah I.
Abstract:: Skeletal muscles provide several functions, including, yet not limited to, voluntary body movement and locomotion, posture and body position, and soft tissue support. Skeletal muscles also play a role in metabolism, requiring energy to facilitate contraction. Each skeletal muscle serves a different purpose despite seeming to perform the same task....

Effects of spatial scale and heterogeneity on avian occupancy dynamics and population trends in forested mountain landscapes

Creator:: Frey, Sarah J. K.
Abstract:: Population trends and patterns in species distributions are the major currencies used to examine responses by biodiversity to changing environments. Effective conservation recommendations require that models of both distribution dynamics and population trends accurately reflect reality. However, identification of the appropriate temporal and spatial scales of animal response, and then...

Deciphering Quaternary Geomagnetic, Glacial, and Depositional Histories Using Paleomagnetism in Tandem with Other Chronostratigraphic and Sedimentological Approaches

Creator:: Reilly, Brendan T.
Abstract:: Stratigraphy and chronology are essential to sedimentological study of Earth system histories. And, stratigraphy and chronology are often challenging and interesting problems themselves. The Quaternary (2.588 Ma - present) experienced paleoenvironmental and paleo-geomagnetic variability well outside the range of the recent instrumental record, providing the opportunity to place recent observations...

Limiting Behavior of Stochastic Processes Involving Martingale Structures

Creator:: Mukherjee, Arpita
Abstract:: A stochastic process is given by a family of random variables indexed by elements of a set. We have considered stochastic processes of three different types, each involving an associated martingale structure. Martingale is a sequence of random variables for which the conditional expectation at a certain time point given...

Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants : investigations of detection methods, bioremediation strategies, and toxicity impacts

Creator:: Huizenga, Juliana M.
Abstract:: Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...

Higher-level Analysis of RNA-Seq Experiment: Multiple Data Sets and Multiple Genes

Creator:: Zhuo, Bin
Abstract:: Differential expression (DE) analysis is a key task in gene expression study, because it uncovers the association between expression levels of a gene and the covariates of interest. This dissertation pertains to two particular aspects of DE analysis—identifying stably expressed genes for count normalization and accounting for correlation between DE...
