Characterization of the enzymatic activity of the ionocyte
(mitochondria-rich cell) in the gill epithelium of Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha was explored.
1. A method for estimating the enzymatic activity per cell for
tissues is described.
2. The DNA content per cell for nucleated erythrocytes (O. tshawytscha) was determined to be 9.47 x...
Analysis of observations and sensitivity experiments with a new three-dimensional global model of stable carbon isotope cycling elucidate processes that control the distribution of delta C-13 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the contemporary and preindustrial ocean. Biological fractionation and the sinking of isotopically light delta C-13 organic matter from...
In real-time control systems, the value of a control decision depends not
only on the correctness of the decision but also on the time when that decision
is available. Recent work in real-time decision making has used machine learning
techniques to automatically construct reactive controllers, that is, controllers
with little...
Upon enactment of the National Environmental Policy
Act in 1970, a new era in environmental concern within the
federal government began. As the processes and procedures of
compliance with the act became refined through experience and
regulation, the intent of the legislation has increasingly
become integrated into decision making within...

The purpose of this thesis is to present the results of a study
of the impacts of the Conservation Reserve Program, Title XII of the
Food Security Act of 1985, on the economies of small communities
located in Gilliam, Morrow and Umatilla Counties in Oregon. These
counties are representative of...
My current Project on the late fourteenth-century Pearl observes the workings of allegory, courtly language, and poetic landscape. During this study, I pursue the elements of the poem that suggest a lack of spiritual growth and change, and an abundance of pain, torment, and confusion for the poem's narrator. I...
