John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Testing the metabolic theory of ecology

Creator:: Price, Charles A., Weitz, Joshua S., Savage, Van M., Stegen, James, Clarke, Andrew, Coomes, David A., Dodds, Peter S., Etienne, Rampal S., Kerkhoff, Andrew J., McCulloh, Katherine, Niklas, Karl J., Olff, Han, and Swenson, Nathan G.
Abstract:: The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) predicts the effects of body size and temperature on metabolism through considerations of vascular distribution networks and biochemical kinetics. MTE has also been extended to characterise processes from cellular to global levels. MTE has generated both enthusiasm and controversy across a broad range of...

Phenology of particle size distributions and primary productivity in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (Station ALOHA)

Creator:: White, Angelicque E., Letelier, Ricardo M., Whitmire, Amanda L., Barone, Benedetto, Bidigare, Robert R., Church, Matthew J., and Karl, David M.
Abstract:: The particle size distribution (PSD) is a critical aspect of the oceanic ecosystem. Local variability in the PSD can be indicative of shifts in microbial community structure and reveal patterns in cell growth and loss. The PSD also plays a central role in particle export by influencing settling speed. Satellite-based...

An assessment of phytoplankton primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean from satellite ocean color/in situ chlorophyll-a based models

Creator:: Lee, Younjoo J., Matrai, Patricia A., Friedrichs, Marjorie A. M., Saba, Vincent S., Antoine, David, Ardyna, Mathieu, Asanuma, Ichio, Babin, Marcel, Bélanger, Simon, Benoît‐Gagné, Maxime, Devred, Emmanuel, Fernández‐Méndez, Mar, Gentili, Bernard, Hirawake, Toru, Kang, Sung‐Ho, Kameda, Takahiko, Katlein, Christian, Lee, Sang H., Lee, Zhongping, Mélin, Frédéric, Scardi, Michele, Smyth, Tim J., Tang, Shilin, Turpie, Kevin R., Waters, Kirk J., and Westberry, Toby K.
Abstract:: We investigated 32 net primary productivity (NPP) models by assessing skills to reproduce integrated NPP in the Arctic Ocean. The models were provided with two sources each of surface chlorophyll-a concentration (chlorophyll), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), sea surface temperature (SST), and mixed-layer depth (MLD). The models were most sensitive to...

The beetle tree of life reveals that Coleoptera survived end-Permian mass extinction to diversify during the Cretaceous terrestrial revolution

Creator:: Mckenna, Duane D., Wild, Alexander L., Kanda, Kojun, Bellamy, Charles L., Beutel, Rolf G., Caterino, Michael S., Farnum, Charles W., Hawks, David C., Ivie, Michael A., Jameson, Mary Liz, Leschen, Richard A. B., Marvaldi, Adriana E., McHugh, Joseph V., Newton, Alfred F., Robertson, James A., Thayer, Margaret K., Whiting, Michael F., Lawrence, John F., S´lipin´ski, Adam, Maddison, David R., and Farrell, Brian D.
Abstract:: Here we present a phylogeny of beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) based on DNA sequence data from eight nuclear genes, including six single-copy nuclear protein-coding genes, for 367 species representing 172 of 183 extant families. Our results refine existing knowledge of relationships among major groups of beetles. Strepsiptera was confirmed as sister...

Wild nature or the garden : conservation themes in the forests of Tarzan and Herland/Ourland

Creator:: Davis, Caryn M.
Abstract:: At first glance, Edgar Rice Burroughs's wildly popular romantic fantasy novel, Tarzan of the Apes (1912), and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist science fiction-utopian novel, Herland (1915), with its dystopian companion, With Her in Ourland (1916), may appear to have little in common. Tarzan celebrates the human connection with wild nature...

How the animals found their places : pattern detection, experimentation, and epistemology in a high desert stream fish assemblage

Creator:: White, Seth Michael
Abstract:: I examined the relative roles of biotic and abiotic factors in structuring redband trout Oncorhynchus mykiss distributions in the South Fork John Day. I first examined the relationship between the biological traits of the fish assemblage and riparian-geomorphic features in context of prevailing theories of stream ecology stemming from the...

Theoretical physics takes root in America : John Archibald Wheeler as student and mentor

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: John Archibald Wheeler (09 July 1911- ) is a familiar name to physicists and historians of physics alike. Among his many contributions to the corpus of knowledge, in 1939 John Wheeler and Niels Bohr co-authored the first paper on the generalized mechanism of nuclear fission. Beyond that seminal work, Wheeler...

The Marine plant biomass of the Pacific Northwest coast

Creator:: Krauss, Robert Wallfar, 1921-
Abstract:: Mankind is facing the spectre of a planet stripped of the resources necessary to sustain the human populations that currently exist-not to mention those unborn multitudes which seem certain to he added in the coming decades. Time is rapidly running out for scientists and engineers to find new resources to...

Opinions and characteristics of Portland Community College black students

Creator:: Bonaparte, Lawson Gregg, 1921-
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to analyze and describe the opinions and characteristics of black students enrolled in Portland Community College. Data were obtained through a random sampling of two groups of subjects who were invited to participate in the study as follows: (1) Black subjects were 109 students...
