The use of history of science case studies with first year education students to teach skills involved in scientific thinking

Creator:: Hall, John Franz
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to prepare and statistically evaluate a series of 11 history of science case studies designed to teach the following abilities involved in scientific thinking: 1. Recognizing problems, hypotheses, experimental conditions, and conclusions. 2. Understanding the relationship of evidence to hypotheses. 3. Understanding experimental conditions...

Fall directions and breakage of riparian trees along streams in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Sobota, Daniel J.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest, regulatory agencies have recently implemented management strategies for restoration and maintenance of wood recruitment to streams over time. This allochthonous organic material is a critical component in the geomorphic and biological structure of forested streams. Mathematical models are commonly used to evaluate long-term wood dynamics in...

Linkages among land use, riparian zones, and uptake and transformation of nitrate in stream ecosystems

Creator:: Sobota, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Land use alters the physical and biological structure of stream ecosystems and potentially alters their capacity to process nitrogen (N), an essential nutrient that has nearly doubled in abundance on the biosphere during the past century from human activities. In this dissertation, I quantified uptake and transformation of nitrate (NO₃⁻)...

Boundary Dynamics of a Transformative Learning Network : Improving Connection at the Interface of Science and Society

Creator:: Risien, Julie
Abstract:: Transformative learning networks are a specific type of loose network with geographically distributed members and member organizations. They hold particular promise for transformation when both top-down and bottom-up processes have failed to support desired systems-level change. The aim of this dissertation is to build knowledge about the social-interactional processes, roles,...

Cooperation and conflict in Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing

Creator:: Wilder, Cara N.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an environmental bacterium as well as an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects immunocompromised individuals, including those suffering from cystic fibrosis. The density-dependent regulation of gene expression via cell-to-cell communication, also termed quorum sensing (QS), is an important virulence determinant in this organism. Generally, P. aeruginosa uses three...

A food web analysis of a Mojave Desert geothermal spring system and feeding ecology of Moapa dace (Moapa coriacea)

Creator:: StSaviour, Adam
Abstract:: Understanding food webs is fundamental in conserving endangered species and maintaining healthy ecosystem function, particularly in desert spring systems. We identified dominant energy sources in the Muddy River Warm Springs area, Clark County, NV using carbon and nitrogen natural abundance stable isotope analyses. We examined isotopic signatures of specific macroinvertebrate...

(Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity : The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh

Creator:: Evans, Nicolas M. J.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the postmodern confrontation of representation throughout the oeuvre of Martin McDonagh. I particularly look to his later body of work, which directly and self-reflexively confronts issues of artistic representation & masculinity, in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of his earliest and most controversial plays. In...

Diversity and community structure of aquatic insects in isolated montane desert streams

Creator:: Bogan, Michael T.
Abstract:: Local aquatic insect diversity and community structure is the result of multiple local and regional factors, and observed patterns depend upon the spatial and temporal scale under examination. Isolated stream systems in arid regions represent a new challenge in understanding the drivers of diversity and community structure, as most studies...

Terrestrial amphibian distribution, habitat associations and downed wood temperature profiles in managed headwater forests with riparian buffers in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kluber, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Western forests have become increasingly fragmented landscapes dominated by young stands. Given that western Oregon forests largely consist of headwater systems, there is a need to better understand how headwater forest taxa and their habitats are impacted by forest management practices. Several amphibian species associated with forested headwater systems have...
