From hurdles to high-speed: A Community Capital Framework approach to understanding barriers to broadband adoption and availability in North Carolina’s rural counties

Creator:: Berk, Christy
Abstract:: Access to broadband internet is vital for rural communities in the digital age, but persistent barriers impact adoption and availability. This topic is analyzed through the lens of the Community Capital Framework (Emery & Flora, 2006). By surveying county commissioners, the research aims to better understand rural broadband challenges and...

Disease invasion dynamics : brucellosis and tuberculosis in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer)

Creator:: Gorsich, Erin E.
Abstract:: Emerging infectious diseases in wild animals threaten global biodiversity as well as domestic animal and human health. Their unprecedented increase in conjunction with anthropogenically induced range shifts of endemic pathogens exposes hosts to novel parasite combinations, lending urgency to research on disease dynamics in wildlife systems. In natural populations, hosts...

Host-Induced Gene Silencing in Black Cottonwood for Control of Septoria Canker: Efficacy and Non-Target Impacts

Creator:: Gordon, Michael I.
Abstract:: Septoria canker remains the most important disease of poplars in intensively managed forest plantations. Genetic resistance has long been considered the best way to manage for this disease. Transgenic resistance mediated by RNA silencing against pathogens and pests (HIGS: host-induced gene silencing) has shown promise in other pathosystems but has...

Characterizing an Annual Grass Invasion and Its Link to Environmental and Disturbance Factors Using Remote Sensing: New Tools and Applications

Creator:: Nietupski, Ty C.
Abstract:: The spread of nonnative species across the globe has contributed to biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystem structure and function. Monitoring the introduction, naturalization, and spread of introduced species is critical in abating negative impacts wrought by species invasions. However, providing basic information concerning the presence or spread of many...

Metagenomics, barcoding, and metabarcoding statistical analysis to facilitate integrative genomic studies of microbial and eukaryotic assemblages

Creator:: Senn, Savanah
Abstract:: The body of work aims to contribute to the area of Quantitative analysis in Environmental Sciences, and is focused on the microbiome. The underlying theme for the dissertation is methods and workflow. The unique bioinformatics workflow used for the analysis of genomic data was used to answer distinct and pressing...

Traits, neighbors, and species performance in prairie restoration

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V., Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-, and Roberts, R. E.
Abstract:: Questions: Are traits related to the performance of plant species in restoration? Are the relationships between traits and performance consistent across the functional groups of annual forbs, perennial forbs, and grasses? Do the relationships between traits and performance depend on neighboring functional groups? Location: A former agricultural field, being restored...

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for Engineering Inspections and Geospatial Mapping

Creator:: Javadnejad, Farid
Abstract:: Small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) carrying consumer-grade nonmetric cameras are increasingly utilized to generate high-resolution 3D geospatial data. Low cost, ease of operation, widespread availability and low altitude maneuvering capabilities of UAS, as well as the rapid development of technology and methods, make UAS-based photogrammetry applicable to many civil engineering...

Coastal Dune Ecology, Geomorphology, and Ecosystem Services : How Invasive Beachgrasses, their Interactions, and Sediment Dynamics Shape U.S. Pacific Northwest Dunes

Creator:: Biel, Reuben G.
Abstract:: Biological invasions and climate change represent two preeminent threats to ecological communities and biodiversity, altering the distribution and abundance of species, disrupting existing species interactions and forming unprecedented ones, and creating novel ecological communities. Many of the most successful invasive species are also ecosystem engineers, species that physically modify the...

Investigating Demographic and Evolutionary Factors Important for Fish Reintroduction

Creator:: Sard, Nicholas M.
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are used to re-establish species back into their historical habitat. Most reintroduction programs have failed and few papers have evaluated factors that may be important to Pacific salmon. The 158 meter tall Cougar Dam has blocked Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from accessing 40 kilometers of historical spawning and...

Oregon biography index

Creator:: Brandt, Patricia A. and Guilford, Nancy
Abstract:: Oregon Biography Index is intended to serve primarily as a starting point in locating biographies of Oregonians. We have indexed 47 historical volumes which are either entirely devoted to biographies or have large self-contained biographical sections. The profiles in the books vary widely in accuracy and detail. Birth dates of...
