Photosynthetic Energy Allocation Strategies of Thalassiosira pseudonana During Light Limited Growth

Creator:: Fisher, Nerissa L.
Abstract:: Photosynthetic energy allocation strategies were investigated in the marine diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana, grown under a wide range of light limitation. Steady-state, continuous cultures were established at three light-limited growth rates. Simultaneous measurements of photosynthetic activity were made that targeted different points in photosynthetic energy flow from gross to net photosynthesis....

Strategies for Altering Energy Flux in Thalassiosira pseudonana Elucidated by Transcriptomics

Creator:: Pombrol, Michelle
Abstract:: Diatoms play a major role in ocean biogeochemical cycles and are important tools in bioengineering for natural products and nanotechnology. Diatoms and other algae growing at varying resource-limited growth rates allocate carbon to different metabolic pathways to optimize growth; however, the molecular mechanisms controlling these pathway gating strategies are not...

Trust, communication and creativity in new product development teams

Creator:: Siacotos, Thomas John Charles
Abstract:: The researcher explored interpersonal trust (a construct from the fields of psychology and sociometry) in the context of engineering work groups. The study explored the potential antecedents of trust and the relationships among trust, creativity, communication, emotional empathy and positive affect. The study attempts to argue that 1) trust is...

The Effects of Phytoplankton Prey Species and Nutrient Limitation on Microzooplankton

Creator:: McBeain, Kelsey Ann
Abstract:: Phytoplankton and microzooplankton comprise the base and the first link of the marine food web, respectively. These microbes are key drivers of marine carbon and nutrient cycles. Phytoplankton convert atmospheric CO₂ into organic carbon, and microzooplankton consume phytoplankton, packaging phytoplankton carbon into particulate forms that have a variety of fates:...

The effects of broad based holistic measurement on student engagement and motivation in educational assessment

Creator:: Brotherton, Paul Anthony
Abstract:: Educational institutions are exposed to a continuously changing environment. As in business, they experiment with their methods and techniques to improve their outputs. Performance assessment, both in education and business is a gray science. It is not just a question of evaluating performance. Performance is comprised of a number of...

Cape Scene & the path to a conscientious tourism product

Creator:: Sykes, Kimberly M.
Abstract:: Many countries around the world are looking to tourism as a sustainable solution for economic development and many individuals seek business opportunities in the tourism industry. Researchers in the field of anthropology and other disciplines alike have recorded findings of the environmental, economic and cultural impacts of tourism development that...

The legacy of Dr. Francis Hole : examining soil organic carbon after 50 years of detrital manipulation

Creator:: Townsend, Kimberly L.
Abstract:: Models of ecosystem carbon (C) balance generally assume a strong relationship between net primary productivity (NPP), litter inputs, and soil C accumulation, but there is little direct evidence for such a coupled relationship. Using a unique 50-year detrital manipulation experiment in a in a mixed deciduous forest and restored prairie...

A comparison of bumble bees (Bombus spp.) and honey bees (Apis mellifera) for the pollination of Oregon cranberries (Ericaceae: Vaccinium macrocarpon)

Creator:: Phillips, Kimberly N.
Abstract:: In cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton) cultivation, farmers typically rent colonies of honey bee (Apis mellifera) for pollination. However, the efficiency of this bee at pollinating cranberries in Oregon, as in other regions, is questionable. Bumble bees (Bombus sp.) are reportedly effective in other regions, but their impact in Oregon is...

Interpreting a weird and scenic landscape to park visitors : tectonic and volcanic processes of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, Idaho

Creator:: Truitt, Kimberly E.
Abstract:: This thesis develops a geology training manual for the Interpretation staff of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve (CRMO) in southern Idaho. The manual will help the staff convey geologic principles to park visitors who are experiencing a landscape formed by volcanic processes. Basic geology and the most...

An economic analysis of pavement damage caused by studded tires in Oregon

Creator:: Gray, Judith Ann
Abstract:: This report frames the debate over studded tires in terms of economic principles of marginal cost pricing and efficient resource allocation. In the absence of a user tax, the pavement damage caused by studded tires results in inefficient pricing because social costs associated with the damage are excluded from the...
