  • Diurnal wind-driven processes on the northern Monterey Bay inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    In the summer of 2007, a biophysical experiment was conducted to identify physical processes that determine the delivery of invertebrate larvae and juvenile rockfish to rocky intertidal and kelp forest communities in northern Monterey Bay, California. The experiment was sponsored by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO)...

  • Effects of Predator Introductions on Population and Community Dynamics

    Creator:
    Ingeman, Kurt E.
    Abstract:
    There is increasing awareness that human activities are altering the ways that natural systems operate and that local shifts in species composition and abundance can lead to abrupt and irreversible global change. Therefore, understanding the processes that buffer biological communities from critical shifts and how our actions affect natural stabilizing...

  • Mark Fuhrman's Murder In Brentwood : A Rhetorical Criticism of Apologia as Masculine Facework

    Creator:
    Kearney, Melva J.
    Abstract:
    Apologia is a rhetorical genre of self-defense. As such, apologetic discourse involves a response to an attack upon an individual's character or worth as a human being. Los Angeles Police Detective Mark Fuhrman encountered such a attack during the 0.J. Simpson murder trial. The purpose of this analysis is to...

  • Modeling and application of multispectral oceanic sun glint observations

    Creator:
    Luderer, Gunnar
    Abstract:
    The atmospheric radiative transfer model MOCARAT was developed and is presented in this thesis. MOCARAT employs a Monte Carlo Technique for the accurate modeling of band radiances and reflectances in an atmospheric system with a ruffled ocean surface as a lower boundary. The atmospheric radiative transfer is modeled with consideration...

  • Spinal reflex control in healthy and ACL-injured women during a distracting task

    Creator:
    Perrier, Erica Taylor
    Abstract:
    Female athletes exhibit three- to six-fold greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury relative to their male counterparts. The increased risk appears to stem from interactions between several risk factors, that can roughly be categorized as anatomic, biomechanical, hormonal, and neuromuscular. Neuromuscular risk factors have recently gained a...

  • Invasive Pacific Lionfish Alters Native Community Interactions on Atlantic Coral Reefs

    Creator:
    Kindinger, Tye L.
    Abstract:
    Biological invasions have been identified as one of the prominent drivers of global environmental change. In particular, invasive predators typically have substantial negative effects on populations of native prey, even driving species to extinction in extreme cases. However, beyond direct predatory effects, little is understood regarding the specific mechanisms by...

  • A Modification of the Garrett–Munk Internal Wave Spectrum

    Creator:
    Levine, Murray D.
    Abstract:
    The Garrett–Munk (GM) spectrum continues to be a useful description of the oceanic internal wave field. However, there are several inconsistencies and ambiguities that make it difficult to use in comparing internal wave fields at different latitudes, stratifications, and water depths. A modified spectral formulation is presented that treats three...

  • Diurnal and subdiurnal variability in the Mars Pathfinder Presidential meteorology sessions

    Creator:
    Bennett, Scott
    Abstract:
    The Mars Pathfinder (MPF) arrived on the Martian surface on 4 July 1997 to become only the third successful landed mission to Mars, recording surface meteorological data intermittently over a period of 83 Martian days ("sols"). The in situ observations made by the MPF meteorology (MET) experiment were recorded at...

  • The Dynamics of Work, Poverty, and Business Cycles: An Analysis of Oregon Households Receiving Food Assistance

    Creator:
    Porter, Suzanne
    Abstract:
    Oregon’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) (formerly called Food Stamps) rose by 33% between October 2008 and October 2009 as the economy went into recession and the unemployment rate increased. The percentage of Oregon’s overall population receiving SNAP benefits increased from 11.8% in July 2005 to 16.3% in July 2009. With...

  • Coral-reef fishes : insights into larval dispersal and invasion ecology

    Creator:
    Pusack, Timothy J.
    Abstract:
    Because many coral-reef fishes are observable in situ, are amenable to transplantation, have small home ranges and short generation times, they provide a excellent system to investigate many topics within general ecology, fisheries biology, and conservation biology. The primary goal of this dissertation was to use the coral-reef fishes system...
