  • Advantages of habitat selection and sexual segregation in mule and white-tailed deer

    Creator:
    Main, Martin Benjamin
    Abstract:
    I studied sexual segregation in mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (Q. virginianus) in different environments and at different population densities to test the hypothesis that sexual segregation occurs in ungulates as the result of different reproductive strategies; females select habitat and behave in manners primarily designed to promote...

  • The distribution of epiphytic diatoms in Yaquina Estuary, Oregon

    Creator:
    Main, Stephen Paul
    Abstract:
    Epiphytic diatom assemblages in the intertidal zone of Yaquina Bay and estuary were obtained from the following host macrophytes: Zostera marina, Fucus evanescens, and species of Enteromorpha, Polysiphonia, and Ulva. Samples were collected in September 1970 and in January and May 1971 from seven stations approximately evenly spaced between the...

  • Linguistic, Personological Features, and Collocations of the Doka & Martin Grieving Style Continuum

    Creator:
    Geisler, James G.
    Abstract:
    Research on grief has been studied for nearly a century to understand its many facets, expressiveness, and timing. In the field of counseling, many changes in theories, models, and the lenses through which loss is responded to have been accomplished. However, one constant in the U.S. culture is that definitions...

  • The choice calculus : a formal language of variation

    Creator:
    Walkingshaw, Eric
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I present the choice calculus, a formal language for representing variation in software and other structured artifacts. The choice calculus is intended to support variation research in a way similar to the lambda calculus in programming language research. Specifically, it provides a simple formal basis for presenting,...

  • Automatic program generation for scientific computing

    Creator:
    Fu, Zhe
    Abstract:
    The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

  • Design and Application of Variational Representations

    Creator:
    Smeltzer, Karl J.
    Abstract:
    Variability is an important and widely studied topic across domains such as version control, software product lines, and metaprogramming. This dissertation presents an investigation into the process of systematically adding variability to data structures and programs, leading to guidelines for variational data structures and implications for programs that create, manipulate,...

  • The Fitness Costs and Regulatory Strategies of Cooperative Siderophore Production in Pseudomonas

    Creator:
    Sexton, David
    Abstract:
    Cooperative behaviors in bacteria are increasingly appreciated for their relevance to microbial ecology and utility as model systems for social evolution. One example is the secretion of siderophores, a structurally diverse group of compounds that chelate extracellular iron. Siderophore production is considered cooperative because the benefits can be shared with...

  • Impact of raspberry bushy dwarf virus, raspberry leaf mottle virus, and raspberry latent virus on plant growth and fruit crumbliness in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) 'Meeker'

    Creator:
    Quito-Avila, Diego F.
    Abstract:
    The United States is the third-largest producer of raspberries in the world. Washington State leads the nation in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) production. 'Meeker', the most grown red raspberry cultivar in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, Canada) is highly susceptible to Raspberry crumbly fruit, a virusinduced...

  • End-user software engineering in the spreadsheet paradigm

    Creator:
    Abraham, Robin
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are among the most widely used end-user programming systems. Unfortunately, there is a high incidence of errors in end-user spreadsheets, and some of these errors have high impact. In this dissertation, we describe techniques we have developed to help end users develop safer spreadsheets. As part of our research,...
