Determination of Reaction Product Cross Sections in the ¹³⁶Xe + ²⁰⁸Pb Multi-nucleon Transfer Reaction at E[subscript cm] = 450 MeV

Creator:: Barrett, J. Spencer
Abstract:: The yields of 235 projectile-like and target-like fragments from the interaction of ¹³⁶Xe with a thick target of ²⁰⁸Pb at a center-of-mass energy, E[subscript cm], of 450 MeV were measured using γ-γ-γ coincidence data from Gammasphere and off-line γ-ray spectroscopy. The results give an expansive picture of the production cross...

Prenatal and Early-life Metals Exposure and Immune Function in Children

Creator:: Welch, Barrett M.
Abstract:: Immune system development during prenatal and early-life periods are essential for healthy development. Environmental and nutritional factors during these periods have strong influences on immune development and can have impacts on disease susceptibility for an individual throughout adulthood. Globally, hundreds of millions of people experience elevated environmental exposure to arsenic,...

Norbert Wiener and the growth of negative feedback in scientific explanation : with a proposed research program of "cybernetic analysis"

Creator:: Hellman, Walter Daniel
Abstract:: Negative feedback has become ubiquitous in science both as a technique and as a conceptual tool. As a technique, negative feedback has a long history; devices based in its use were made in antiquity. It has only been during the last century, however, that rigorous quantitiative methods have become associated...

The Heart of Elevation: Investigating the Physiological and Neural Mechanisms Underlying Moral Elevation

Creator:: Hutchinson, James Spencer
Abstract:: Moral elevation refers to the distinct state of warmth and expansion that some individuals experience after witnessing or learning about the altruistic acts of others. Elevation is a particularly interesting positive emotion for its capacity to promote various altruistic behaviors, as well as motivate witnesses to improve their character. The...

“The System is F*cked. Everything needs to Change:” A Queer Feminist Pro-Sex Work Analysis of the Digital Age

Creator:: Barrett, Emerson LR
Abstract:: “The system is fucked. Everything needs to change” was stated by Ashley Paige, a professional dominatrix and author in We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival, at a book launch event. Paige’s sentiments are poignant and a call to action to all of us. Through this thesis, I will...

What Makes a Fish Resistant? Comparative Genomics and Transcriptomics of Oncorhynchus mykiss with Differential Resistance to the Parasite Ceratonova shasta

Creator:: Barrett, Damien E.
Abstract:: The myxozoan Ceratonova shasta is an intestinal parasite of salmon and trout that causes ceratomyxosis, a disease characterized by severe inflammation of the intestine that can lead to hemorrhaging, necrosis, and death of the fish host. The parasite is endemic to the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada,...

Development and implementation of a transkingdom network analysis pipeline to identify drivers of disease

Creator:: Newman, Nolan K.
Abstract:: The gut microbiome has been previously implemented in a number of diseases. Of note is its substantial role in metabolic syndrome, which encapsulates a group of conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. Understanding the causal relationships between the gut microbiome and host processes...

The Impact of Disturbance on Carbon Stores and Dynamics in Forests of Coastal Alaska

Creator:: Yatskov, Mikhail A.
Abstract:: Changes in climate caused by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the Earth’s atmosphere have led land and ocean surface temperatures to increase by 0.85°C and sea level to increase by 19 cm relative to preindustrial times. Global climate change will lead to further alterations in mean temperature and...

Numerical simulation of mechanically stabilized earth walls for parametric evaluation of behavior under surcharge loading

Creator:: Ambauen, Spencer J.
Abstract:: A numerical model, simulating the complex behavior of reinforced soil walls using the finite element method, was developed to evaluate the behavior of a surcharged, geosynthetic-reinforced retaining wall with modular block facing. A nonlinear elastic-plastic constitutive soil material model was calibrated to experimental plane strain test data, while the performance...

Cartographies of Haunting : Black Feminist Refusal in Toni Morrison’s A Mercy and Octavia Butler’s Kindred

Creator:: Spencer, Megan
Abstract:: This thesis explores the gendered histories of slavery through the concept of haunting in two neo-slave narrative novels: Toni Morrison’s A Mercy and Octavia Butler’s Kindred. I offer readings of these texts through slavery’s geographic and temporal implications, in order to argue that the logics of antiblackness remain a fundamental...
