Queering Ever After: Temporality, Magic, and Endings in Victorian Fairy Tales

Creator:: Damschen, Kalli M.
Abstract:: This thesis analyzes two Victorian fairy tales that feature queer endings, or endings that offer alternatives to the heteronormative fairy-tale tradition that idealizes heterosexual marriage and the biological family.

Parenting style and practice : predictors of behavioral regulation in preschool

Creator:: Pritchard, Megan E.
Abstract:: Increasing numbers of children are entering kindergarten without the behavioral skills needed to cope with the demands of the classroom environment. Moreover, a number of studies have documented that young children's behavioral regulation (including attention, working memory, and inhibitory control skills) plays an important role in later academic achievement (McClelland,...

Optimal sensor placement for measuring operating speeds through curves on rural two-lane highways

Creator:: Mecham, Megan E.
Abstract:: Operating speed is one of the best performance measures that can tell transportation agencies how well or how poorly the transportation system is functioning. Fluctuating operating speeds often mean there is a design flaw or something about the physical road design that violates drivers' expectations. A primary example of this...

Shell Boring Polychaetes and the Oregon Oyster Aquaculture Industry: Spatial Distribution, Regulatory Actions, and Stakeholder Engagement

Creator:: Considine, Megan E.
Abstract:: Shell-boring polychaetes pose economic risks for oyster aquaculture industries as they reduce the aesthetic quality of oyster products by creating unsightly mud-filled blisters on the inside of the shell. Recently there has been a reported uptick in infested oysters on commercial farms along the west coast of the US, which...

Habitat associations and determinants of refuge use in post-settlement lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus)

Creator:: Petrie, Megan E.
Abstract:: Lingcod are an overexploited fish species in the Pacific Northwest and although there has been extensive study of the habitat requirements of adults, particularly during spawning, relatively little is known regarding the habitat requirements of post-settlement juveniles. Many juvenile fish use structural components of habitat to alleviate the risk of...

Temporal Variation in the Prey Resource Portfolio of Juvenile Salmonids During Freshwater Rearing

Creator:: Brady, Megan E.
Abstract:: Freshwater rearing is a critical period in the life cycle of anadromous salmonids, known to produce carry-over effects mediating long-term growth and survival. Freshwater growth is primarily determined by food availability and temperature. While many species of salmon rear in freshwater for a full year or longer, most trophic ecology...

Structure-function analysis of the vaccinia virus I7L proteinase

Creator:: Moerdyk, Megan J.
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus is the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. It undergoes a complex replication process where a key step in the transition from immature virion to intracellular mature virion is the cleavage of the major core protein precursors. The product of the I7L open reading frame (ORF) is a...

Phenotyping diverse strawberry (Fragaria spp.) germplasm for aid in marker- assisted breeding, and marker-trait association for red stele (Phytophthora fragariae) resistance marker Rpf1

Creator:: Mathey, Megan M.
Abstract:: Strawberry is one of four crops included in the USDA-NIFA Specialty Crop Research Initiative-funded RosBREED project along with apple, peach, and cherry. Phenotyping strawberry for specific horticultural and commercial traits is important to identify associations with genotypic marker(s). This process is the first step in translating genomic knowledge into enhanced...
