Constraints to urban park visitation : Conceptual connections and spatial attributes for traditionally well-served and underserved residents

Creator:: Rushing, Jaclyn R.
Abstract:: Connecting with nature is associated with social, physical, and emotional benefits such as stress relief, improved physical health, and lower crime. Parks and other natural areas offer spaces in which to connect with nature and reap these and other benefits (e.g., family bonding, social events, learning). Despite increasing populations of...

Design and simulation of a self-powered neutron spectrometer

Creator:: Kropp, Edward K.
Abstract:: A self-powered neutron detector (SPND) is a device that, coupled with a current meter, provides a readout proportional to neutron population. This thesis discusses the design parameters of an array of such devices, their characteristics, and the use of these devices as a self-powered neutron spectrometer (SPNS) to provide information...

Distribution and life history of the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) off the Oregon and Washington coasts

Creator:: Richards, Jaclyn M.
Abstract:: This study examines the spatial and temporal distribution and life history of the "offshore" component of the Northeastern Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) population. Distribution was examined in relation to latitude, depth, the Columbia River plume and large-scale climate changes. Fishery and survey data indicate that the Northeastern Pacific spiny...

(In)visible women: Representation and Conceptualization of Gender in Water Governance and Management

Creator:: Best, Jaclyn P.
Abstract:: Although there is a substantial body of work on the inclusion of women in traditionally male-dominated processes of water management and water governance (Earle & Bazilli, 2013), these efforts have mostly been concentrated in the Global South and women are still lacking in positions with decision-making power, making water governance...

After we lost the wind

Creator:: Watterson, Jaclyn
Abstract:: My thesis is a collection of short stories in which I explore themes like loss, identity, and memory. The collection includes both short stories and short short stories, and through in-depth exploration of character and form, the stories here attempt to fit into a tradition of writers articulating the experiences...

Transforming STEM Education and Empowering STEM Educators Through Collaborative Learning: Co-creating Critical Identities through Social Justice and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies

Creator:: Hale, Karla M.
Abstract:: Despite ongoing initiatives and research efforts, the persistent underrepresentation of marginalized groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines in the U.S. has seen little improvement. This study posits that a fundamental change in teacher preparation can lead to more inclusive STEM learning environments. It centers on the development...

Cryptolepiota, a new sequestrate genus in the Agaricaceae with evidence for adaptive radiation in western North America

Creator:: Kropp, Bradley R., Albee-Scott, Steve, Castellano, Michael A., and Trappe, James M.
Abstract:: Phylogenetic analyses based on nLSU and ITS sequence data indicate that the sequestrate genus Gigasperma is polyphyletic. Gigasperma cryptica, which is known only from New Zealand, has affinities with the Cortinariaceae whereas G. americanum and two additional undescribed taxa from western North America are derived from Lepiota within the Agaricaceae....

Dig Sites and Domesticity: Jessie Camp and the 1947 University of California Africa Expedition

Creator:: Fraas, Picabo K.
Abstract:: In 1947, scientists from the University of California departed for a fifteen-month expedition to Africa. Jessie Camp, wife of the head paleontologist Dr. Charles L. Camp, had no official position on the expedition. Yet in performing her traditional domestic duties, she greatly contributed to the overall success of the expedition....

Bridging Ways of Knowing to Model the Dynamics of Fire as an Ecocultural Process on Frequent Fire Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Greenler, Skye M.
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have intensified in many ecosystems across the western United States due to the combined impact of fire exclusion, climate change, and land management practices. However, on many of these landscapes, fire is a fundamental ecological process that has shaped vegetation structural and compositional diversity, ecosystem function, landscape pattern,...

Controlling the Co-Precipitation of Colloidal PbSe Quantum Dots and Their Device Performance in a Diode Architecture

Creator:: McCrea, Tyler D.
Abstract:: In this work, colloidal PbSe quantum dots (QDs) are shown to be synthesized in a controlled manner by changing the growth time and reaction temperature in a microwave synthesis method. It is explained why quantum dots make such a unique material to create electronic devices and the specific benefits that...
