Entre crítica e imaginación: El contexto de las relaciones de México y Estados Unidos desde la perspectiva de La frontera de cristal y Gringo viejo

Creator:: Hansen, Tobin M.
Abstract:: What historical and political reality is reflected in the novels Gringo viejo and La frontera de cristal? What is revealed when the characters, plot, and setting of the novels are analyzed against research of the context of U.S.-Mexico relations? We begin to explore these questions by studying three periods crucial...

The Past, Present, and Future of Fire and Ponderosa Pine Stand Dynamics in the Metolius Research Natural Area, Central Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, Kayla M.
Abstract:: The Metolius Research Natural Area (RNA), located 29 km northwest of Sisters, Oregon, was originally established in 1931 to maintain a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex Laws) and dry, mixed-conifer forest with the aim to meet objectives of preserving natural conditions, providing for research opportunities, and preserving gene pools...

Performance-Based Design Methodology for Using Emergent Vegetation to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

Creator:: Ostrow, Kayla
Abstract:: To facilitate the design of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for flood protection, this thesis expands an existing engineering design methodology to NNBF systems. The existing approach is a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of traditional coastal engineering systems. The expanded methodology incorporates uncertainties inherent to both...

Scratching the Surface of the Potato Geocaulosphere: Characterizing the Microbiome of Seed Tuber Tare Soil and its Impact on the Rhizosphere Microbiome

Creator:: Delventhal, Kayla D.
Abstract:: For tuberizing crops like potato (Solanum tuberosum), the geocaulosphere, or the zone of soil in contact with and influenced by the tuber, is a distinct sphere of microbial life and represents an important interface between the potato crop and the soil environment. Upon potato harvest, specific geocaulosphere soil called tare...

Influence of Bicyclist Presence on Driver Performance during Autonomous Vehilce Take-Over Requests

Creator:: Fleskes, Kayla
Abstract:: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may have the potential to mitigate a significant proportion of serious crashes which are due to human error or poor decision making behind the wheel. However, there are still many concerns associated with SAE Level 3 AVs that require intervention by a human driver after a take-over...

Effect of two methylcarbamates on the toxiciity of isopropyl m-chlorocarbanilate (chlorpropham) to safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) and common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.)

Creator:: Kirkland, Kenneth
Abstract:: Addition of the methylcarbamate compounds p-chlorophenyl N-methylcarbamate (PPG-124) and 1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate (carbaryl) to various herbicides has resulted in reduced rates of degradation. Carbaryl affects the degradation of certain herbicides in both plants and soils while PPG-124 has only been demonstrated to affect degradation in soils. Both these materials are effective...

Mass spectrometric analysis of bovine neurofilament proteins NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H : peptide mapping, phosphorylation and alkylation site identification

Creator:: Mixon, April E.
Abstract:: Neurofilament proteins are intermediate filaments found in the neuronal cytoskeleton. Phosphorylation of these proteins is considered important for the assembly and stability of the filaments. Accurate molecular weights have been difficult to measure, largely because the high degree of phosphorylation results in M[subscript r]'S that are significantly greater than dictated...

Chemical element profiles by instrumental neutron activation analysis : in, part 1, two species of wheat bunt spores, Tilletia caries (DC) Tul. and Tilletia controversa Kühn; part 2, representative sediment and basalt samples taken from a DSDP 678 m core, site 525A, Leg 74, Walvis Ridge

Creator:: Liu, Yun-gang
Abstract:: Part 1 The concentration of seventeen elements in two species of fungus which cause wheat bunt disease, Tilletia caries (DC.)Tul. (TS) and Tilletia controversa Kiihn (DS), were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis in 37 TS spore samples, and 31 DS spore samples. Aluminum was chosen as a soil contamination...

Profiles of Community Resources and their Influence on Self-Regulation at Preschool : A Focus on Children from Low-Income Families

Creator:: Finders, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Self-regulation skills lay the foundation for short- and long-term school success, and strengthening these skills in early childhood can have significant implications for immediate and future life outcomes (e.g., Blair & Diamond, 2008; McClelland, Acock, Piccinin, Rhea, & Stallings, 2013). A large body of literature has investigated how characteristics of...

Evaluation of the predictive capability of two-phase flow maps for microchannel condensation of R-134a at low mass flux conditions

Creator:: VanderPutten, Michael A.
Abstract:: Predicting condensation flow regimes and the associated heat transfer and pressure drop in microchannels is critical for designing terrestrial and space systems for heating, cooling, power generation, and advanced manufacturing. It is well established that in flows approaching the microscale (Dh < 1 mm) gravity-dominated flow regimes become less relevant,...

Abstract:: The asymptotic boundary layer problem involving an axial incompressible Newtonian fluid flow past a circular cylinder parallel to its axis was investigated by Stewartson (1955). He addressed hiself primarily to the Mangler's (1948) derivation, namely, the character of the boundary layer on a circular cylinder is equivalent to that on...
