Applications of Conditional Topic Models to Species Distribution Prediction

Creator:: Wilkins, Paul Christopher
Abstract:: The topic of species distribution modelling has been on of increasing interest in recent years. As climate change is becoming of even more interest to researchers, more tools are needed to better analyze and predict various climate change scenarios. One particular area of interest is that of species distribution modeling....

Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

Creator:: Jolly, J. Christopher
Abstract:: The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...

Stereoselective synthesis & application of enantioenriched main group α-haloalkyl organometal reagents

Creator:: Emerson, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Sulfoxide-ligand exchange (SLE) and asymmetric halogen-metal exchange (AHME) processes were separately examined for the enantioselective synthesis of functionalized alpha-haloalkylmetal (carbenoid) reagents. Carbenoids derived from SLE were used to effect stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters and those generated via AHME were engaged in Darzens-type chemistry with aldehydes. Abstract for...

The Deathscape of St. Paul: Historic Cemeteries as Cultural Landscapes

Creator:: Boulware, Brooke L.
Abstract:: A cultural landscape analysis of two historic cemeteries in St. Paul, Oregon demonstrates that the residents of this early community were unknowingly using grave markers to express their worldview and the identities that they felt were most important. Because of the historical and cultural development of this community as the...

Identification of candidate genes for survival and their use in predicting field performance of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas families in coastal waters

Creator:: Lang, Robert Paul
Abstract:: Summer mortality of farmed Pacific oysters causes financial losses for shellfish growers, and selective breeding to improve survival of offspring is a promising way to reduce losses. This dissertation has two objectives to assist the development of tools for use in selective breeding programs. Objective 1: Identify candidate genes for...

Conformationally chiral diphenylethers and the enantioselective Ullmann etherification

Creator:: Salih, M. Quamar
Abstract:: Since the discovery of molecular chirality in 1848, this notion has had a substantial impact on medicine, biology, and chemistry. Extensive effort has been directed towards the construction of chiral molecules that contain sp³ hybridized stereogenic centers. In contrast, less effort has been dedicated to molecules that are chiral by...

Approaches to The Optimization of Honey-Based Fermentations

Creator:: Kartik, Kritika
Abstract:: The fermentation of honey-based musts has been a feature of civilization for millennia. Typically comprised of 75-90% (w/w) simple (i.e. fermentable) sugars, the glucose and fructose present are readily fermented by either pitched or adventitious micro-organisms. Nevertheless, despite its venerable heritage, honey-based fermentations are prone to inconsistency, and it is...

Total Synthesis of Tryptamine Alkaloids from the Arundo and Leuconotis Genera

Creator:: Ferreira, Andrew
Abstract:: The first part of this manuscript is about the total synthesis of the Arundo donax bis(indole) natural products. The A. donax alkaloids were prepared using the first example of an ynindole Diels–Alder reaction. Each were then separated, isolated, and determined to have stable enantiomeric conformations at room temperature (Chen, J.;...

Delivering oxytetracycline to first-feeding zebrafish Danio rerio (Hamilton) and goby Asterropteryx semipunctata (Rüppell) larvae using lipid spray beads

Creator:: Temple, Ephraim E.
Abstract:: Effective treatment of larval bacterial diseases is a difficult problem when culturing ornamental fish. Oral administration of antibiotics using existing microparticle types is not effective due to high leakage rates; furthermore, injection of larvae is not practical. Treatment is currently limited to use of antibiotic baths, . In this study,...

Algorithms for string matching with applications in molecular biology

Creator:: Holloway, James Lee
Abstract:: As the volume of genetic sequence data increases due to improved sequencing techniques and increased interest, the computational tools available to analyze the data are becoming inadequate. This thesis seeks to improve a few of the computational methods available to access and analyze data in the genetic sequence databases. The...
