Isotopic Analysis of Diet Specificity in the Chisel-toothed Kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys microps

Creator:: Guerre, Megan E.
Abstract:: Rapid changes in global climate have put many species at risk, particularly niche specialists. The Chisel-toothed kangaroo rat, Dipodomys microps, is thought to specialize on the desert shrub Atriplex confertifolia. Because of this close relationship, D. microps was presumed to have tracked the shrub as its distribution shifted south during...

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.

The Role that Parents Play in the Development of Physical Activity Behaviors and Motor Skill Development in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Ku, Byungmo
Abstract:: Young children with developmental disabilities (< 12 years old) participate less in physical activity (PA) and experience motor skill deficits compared to young children without disabilities (Jung, Leung, Schram, & Yun, 2018; Liu, Hamilton, Davis, & ElGarhy, 2014; Whyatt & Craig, 2012). When taking account of a bi-directional relationship between...

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. In both George MacDonald’s The Wise Woman (1875) and E. Nesbit’s “The Island of the Nine Whirlpools” (1901), I argue that...

Supporting children who struggle with self-regulation : the role of early family risk and child care quality

Creator:: Pratt, Megan E.
Abstract:: Children's early self-regulation skills have long-term implications for a variety of academic, social, and health outcomes. Unfortunately, children facing multiple family risk factors (e.g., harsh parenting, economic disadvantage) are more likely to struggle with early self-regulation. Despite early disparities in self-regulation, promising intervention evidence suggests that high quality prekindergarten experiences...

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,...

Edge-Disjoint Hamiltonian Cycles in De Bruijn Graphs

Creator:: Lytle, Megan E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the number of edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in de Bruijn graphs using ideas from finite field theory, particularly linear recurring sequences. It is known that the de Bruijn graph B(d,n) admits d-1 disjoint Hamiltonian cycles when d is a power of 2, and...

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...
