  • Maria Susanna Cummins' "The Lamplighter" : a revisioning of a sentimental writer of the nineteenth-century United States as rhetor, social critic, and feminist

    Creator:
    Steinert, Laura
    Abstract:
    Within The Lamplighter, a novel written in 1854, Maria Susanna Cummins defines a version of the sentimental novel that significantly differs from the prescriptive analysis male critics have offered for the genre. This thesis argues that feminist theory and recent rhetorical theory have caused a critical paradigm shift that has...

  • Infestation Patterns of Choanoflagellates on Pseudo-Mitzschia

    Creator:
    de Vore, Samantha
    Abstract:
    Pseudo-Nitzschia (P/N) is a species of naturally occurring phytoplankton that contributes to harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the California Current System (CCS). P/N can produce domoic acid (DA), a toxin which accumulates in organisms that consume phytoplankton, leading to amnesiac shellfish poisoning in higher trophic levels. Thus DA can negatively...

  • Mathematical Investigation of Evaporation Synergy in Bi-Texture Soil Columns as a Function of Column Width

    Creator:
    Sumner, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Evaporation synergy is a phenomenon that occurs between different classes of soil and allows for a greater amount/quantity of soil water evaporation. 20 of the 66 soil texture class combinations have been shown to exhibit evaporation synergy (Fisher, 2012), however the impact of column width on the functionality of this...

  • The Effects of Biofilm on Sandy Soil Hydrology

    Creator:
    Runion, Danielle N.
    Abstract:
    It is known that soil biota affects water dynamics through various complex mechanisms. The impact on retention by soil biota are due to a combination of changes to pore geometry, pore clogging by biofilms, biofilms that serve to connect thin water films across many pores as the soil dries, and...

  • Genesis of iron oxides in unsaturated porous media

    Creator:
    Grover, Deeksha
    Abstract:
    The kinetics of physical and chemical processes controlling the precipitation of iron oxide minerals in unsaturated media were investigated in this study. The characteristic morphology, mineralogy, and chemistry of iron oxides were also explored. Laboratory column experiments using fine and coarse grades of silica sand were conducted to compare the...

  • Solarization in the Pacific Northwest: A Mathematical Field Model for Accumulation of Linearized Mortality from Variable Intermittent Heat

    Creator:
    Hill, Brian C.
    Abstract:
    Soil solarization trials were conducted during the growing seasons of 2016-2018 with the purpose of determining if solarization was an effective pre-planting soil disinfestation technique for tree nurseries in the Pacific Northwest. A large data set was collected on soil properties and biological indicators from 5 interdisciplinary experiments. This thesis...

  • The Effect of Protein Nitration on Cell Survival Pathways in Schwann Cells

    Creator:
    Graumann, Oliver W.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder caused by the inactivation of the merlin tumor suppressor gene. NF2 patients develop bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) and other nervous system tumors with no effective drug treatment option. In pathological conditions, including NF2, production of the oxidant peroxynitrite leads to protein tyrosine...

  • Exploring mechanisms that drive the development of reversible soil hydrophobicity

    Creator:
    Woolverton, Priscilla B.
    Abstract:
    This study focuses on one widespread characteristic of poor soil quality: hydrophobic soil. Previous research has produced conclusive evidence to show that soil hydrophobicity is affected by soil organic matter (SOM) and soil water content (WC). Hydrophobicity that responds to changes in WC is a unique form of surface hydrophobicity...

  • Role of Nitrated Hsp90 in Schwannoma Cell Survival

    Creator:
    Kim, Sharon R.
    Abstract:
    Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a genetic tumor disorder caused by mutations that inactivate the gene coding for the Merlin tumor suppressor. Patients with NF2 develop multiple tumors throughout the nervous system, mainly schwannomas, for which there is no cure or effective treatment. In NF2, redox signaling and oxidative stress...

  • Regulation of the Metabolic Reprogramming of Schwannoma Cells by Nitrated Hsp90

    Creator:
    Bastian, Lydia P.
    Abstract:
    This work is concerned with determining whether nicotine has a role in promoting oxidative damage in human tissue, particularly in lung tissue. This follows from recent reports of a novel lung disease found in some E-cigarette users, characterized by oxidative damage and elevated levels of neutrophils (termed “vaping disease”). It...
