Respiratory strategies and associated exchange epithelia as determinants on contaminant uptake in aquatic insects

Creator:: Buchwalter, David B.
Abstract:: Aquatic insects are used extensively to evaluate water quality. Despite their widespread use as indicator organisms, relatively little is known about the organismal characteristics that determine sensitivity differences to individual and multiple stressors. Insects have evolved several respiratory strategies that range from breathing atmospheric air to utilizing dissolved oxygen in...

Semi-volatile organic compounds and developing organisms : accumulation in California mountain tadpoles in the field and fish embryo exposures in the laboratory

Creator:: Stanley, Kerri A.
Abstract:: The atmospheric transport and deposition of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs), including current and historic use pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to mountain ecosystems may result in the exposure of tadpoles to these SOCs. This exposure has been implicated in amphibian population declines in California. Tadpoles encounter...

Long-term fertilizer input influences total and bioavailable metal in agricultural soils and crops

Creator:: Pérez, Angela L.
Abstract:: Protection of the quality and integrity of food supplies is of global concern. Crops can accumulate non-nutritive and sometimes toxic metals and metalloids. Accumulated metals/metalloids can come in part, from fertilizers, which may contain variable levels of non-nutritive metals or metalloids such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel...

Lightweight Corefile Browser

Creator:: Muddarangegowda, Manjunath
Abstract:: One of the main problems in debugging parallel programs is in determining how far a parallel program has executed when it crashes or stops. Even if the program dumps core files for all the parallel processes, the information is at such a low level that it is difficult to interpret...

Changes in the swimming performance, behavior and physiology of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytcha) after exposure to one, two or three acute handling stresses

Creator:: Sigismondi, Linda A.
Abstract:: The performance of an organism or organismic subsystem is the result of the interaction between the performance capacity of the system and Its environment. Environmental conditions can stress an organism and thus affect it's performance. In this study, three whole organism performances were examined: critical swimming speed, fatigue time and...

Special Nuclear Material Classification and Mass Content Estimation Using Temporal Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Methods

Creator:: Curtis, Jessica R.
Abstract:: Improving the methods used for the detection and estimation of fissile material mass content is essential to nuclear security and safeguards to ensure special nuclear material (SNM) accountability, control, safety and security. With the continued expansion of the nuclear industry and the need for safe management of spent fuel, improving...

Using signaling to aid computer program comprehension

Creator:: Gellenbeck, Edward M.
Abstract:: Guidelines for using style to improve computer program comprehension have often been proposed without empirical testing. This thesis reports on the results of three controlled experiments that investigated ways program style may be used to aid comprehension of source code listings. Experiments 1 and 2 were conducted using advanced computer...

Real-time software metrics

Creator:: Roesch, Andreas
Abstract:: This study describes the software metrics analysis of IO releases of an embedded real-time telephone switching system developed by a German telecommunications firm. The micro-controlled application was written in a C-like macro assembly language. We developed a metrics program that computes the standard complexity metrics plus a number of information...

The effects of multiple pathogens on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Romansic, John M.
Abstract:: The earth is undergoing a “biodiversity crisis” characterized by loss of populations, species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem services. Part of this crisis consists of population declines, extinctions, and increased incidence of deformities in amphibians. It is unknown whether deformities contribute to these declines. Many cases of population declines in amphibians...
