  • A turbulence model applied to the diurnal cycle

    Creator:
    Halliwell, Vicki M.
    Abstract:
    Under light wind conditions, the alternation of daytime heating and nighttime cooling creates a characteristic response in the oceanic boundary layer known as the diurnal cycle. The Mellor/Yamada Level II turbulence closure model is used to analyze this response pattern. The diurnal cycle has three phases. During morning and early...

  • The role of inertial oscillations in the dynamics of coastal upwelling

    Creator:
    Pelegri, Jose L.
    Abstract:
    A finite difference scheme is employed to solve the integral form of the momentum, continuity and heat equations, for a two layer ocean bounded by a coastline. The momentum equations include the turbulent dynamics and the time-dependent and nonlinear terms in both the cross-shelf and alongshelf directions. The system of...

  • Diet selection by conditioned and unconditioned goats in the sagebrush steppe of Eastern Oregon

    Creator:
    Richman, Lesley M.
    Abstract:
    This research examined the diets of angora goats on a sagebrush bunchgrass rangeland. Research objectives were to 1) determine the effects of a positive conditioning method on both mature and immature angora goats; and 2) to quantify plant selection and provide preliminary information as to the potential for using goats...

  • Architecture, size, and reproduction in plants : a pollination study of Mertensia ciliata (James) G. Don

    Creator:
    Geber, Monica
    Abstract:
    I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible, profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will visit more flowers per...

  • 'That life of commonplace sacrifices' : representations of womanhood in Irish Catholic culture in James Joyce's Dubliners

    Creator:
    McGrory, Suzette L.
    Abstract:
    Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...

  • On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

    Creator:
    Stoller, Kevin R.
    Abstract:
    William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...

  • The Effect of Affect: A Close Reading of LeBron James’ Athlete Activism

    Creator:
    Campista, Joshua, I.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to argue that LeBron James’ expressions of activism are, in many ways, perceived as insincere, hypocritical or disingenuous to his followers on the social media platform Twitter. Using the theoretical framework of Affect Theory and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, a close reading was conducted...

  • Torn : A Cluster Analysis

    Creator:
    Mulatero Ferrando, Oriana
    Abstract:
    Pornography remains one of the most controversial topics in our culture. Politicians, religious groups, and special interest organizations tend to focus on the ‘effects’ pornography has on those who consume it, and fear that pornography is a threat to public health. The general discourse surrounding pornography is that men produce...

  • Motion picture study of a vertical climbing film in an annular duct

    Creator:
    Scott, Bruce Douglas
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a study of two-phase gas-liquid vertical annular climbing film flow. Using a high speed Fastax movie camera, motion was slowed sufficiently to facilitate detailed analysis of the climbing film structure, based on single frame projections. The dynamic characteristics of the liquid film could likewise be obtained, though...
