Second nature : domestication as experiment and metaphor in 20th century American psychobiology

Creator:: Blanchard, Nicholas
Abstract:: By 1900 domestication was a promising, if somewhat vexed, subject in biology. Volumes had been written about domestication, but little serious scientific inquiry was directed toward the phenomenon. Expertise lay with practical men, primarily breeders and fanciers. The bulk of scientific commentary on domestication came from anthropologists who derived theories...

Utilization of Renewable Energy via Thermochemistry

Creator:: Lei, Fuqiong
Abstract:: Utilization of solar energy or wind energy for electricity production is inherently challenging due to the diurnal and seasonal variations and normal intermittency. Effective, high efficiency storage methods need to be developed for further advancing renewable energy utilization. Endothermic chemical processing and thermochemical energy storage can be both employed as...

Counterfactual thinking applied to multiagent systems

Creator:: Zerbel, Nicholas
Abstract:: Multiagent approaches are well suited to designing autonomous solutions for systems that feature complex interactions between many individuals such as in autonomous traffic systems and multi-robot exploration systems. However, creating autonomous agents that function effectively in these systems is a challenging task. In these complex environments, agents need informative reward...

Supporting merge comprehension when resolving merge conflicts

Creator:: Nelson, Nicholas
Abstract:: Distributed version control allows developers to manage software evolution among distributed development teams. But it does not eliminate all consistency and concurrency issues, and instead introduces additional complexity when merging code. And resolving merge conflicts is nontrivial when automated merging fails. In such cases, developers are forced to inspect the...

How Behavior, Physiology, and Ontogeny of Klamath Redband Trout Shape the Functionality of Habitats in a Landscape of Temperature Extremes

Creator:: Hahlbeck, Nicholas J.
Abstract:: Climate change is a global phenomenon, but natural selection occurs within landscapes. A central tenet of landscape ecology is that mobile species depend on complementary habitats, which are insufficient in isolation, but combine to support animals through the full annual cycle. For coldwater fishes, it is widely assumed that maximum...

Influence of irrigation and plant population on yield parameters, flower and pod abscission, and photosynthate distribution in snap beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Creator:: Mauk, Craighton Stiles
Abstract:: During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon 1604', a determinate snap bean. High and low plant densities were...

Changes in developing strawberry fruit : I. Cell division and enlargement ; and II. Biosynthesis of anthocyanins and other phenolics and activity of associated enzymes

Creator:: Cheng, Guiwen
Abstract:: Size and color are important visual quantity attributes of the fruit of strawberry (Fmgaria x ananassa Duch.). Strawberry cultivars produce fruit of a characteristic size and color, the later being the result of accumulation of particular anthocyanins. This research sought to determine the basis for genotypic differences in fruit size...
