The most important part of parallel computation is communication. Except in the most embarassingly parallel examples, processors cannot work cooperatively to solve a problem unless they can communicate. One way to solve the problem of communication is to use an interconnection network. Processors are located at nodes of the network,...
The purpose of this study was to determine the concerns of past participants of the Summer Agriculture Institute regarding the use of agriculture as a context for teaching and to determine how they implement curriculum integration. The study used the Concerns-Based Adoption Model as a theoretical framework, which resulted in...
In this thesis, I argue that Christian fundamentalism is a threat to the traditions of religious liberty and the separation of church and state in US liberal democracy. I support this claim by exploring the writings of men who were instrumental in the foundation of the US, concluding that they...
The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for
metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions.
Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from
nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...
All existing sea otter, Enhydra lutris, populations have suffered at least one historic population bottleneck stemming from the fur trade extirpations of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. We examined genetic variation, gene flow, and population structure at five microsatellite loci in samples from five pre-fur trade populations throughout the sea...
To address aggressive global competition, retain customers and increase revenue, firms are required to pursue New Product Development (NPD) projects. Ventures of this nature are risky and fail often. Numerous factors influence the survival of a project. In this research, 16 factors have been identified and selected as indicators of...
The Long Tom Watershed Council (LTWC) is a non-profit organization in Eugene, Oregon that serves to protect and enhance watershed health in the Long Tom River Basin. The Amazon Creek Initiative was launched by the LTWC in 2011 as Oregon’s newest Pesticide Stewardship Partner. Goals of the initiative are to...
This research has addressed an area of outdoor recreation economics which presents difficulties in estimation of demand and valuation. The focus was on visitors to three Columbia River fish
hatcheries, and the net benefits realized from partaking in the recreational/educational experience which fish hatcheries offer. Three characteristics of the recreation...
Baleen whale fecal samples have high potential for endocrine monitoring, which can be used as a non-invasive tool to identify the physiological response to disturbance events and describe population health and vital rates. In this study, we used commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to validate and quantify fecal steroid (progestins, androgens...
This paper analyzes the behavior of fishing households under individual transferable quotas (ITQ) system based on Singh, Squire and Strauss household model. ITQ system is sought to be the optimal fishery management regime in terms of economic efficiency. However, preceding theoretical analyses only considered implementing ITQ to a well established...

Retreating glaciers and the periglacial areas they vacate for organismal colonization produce a harsh environment of extreme radiation, nutrient limitations, and temperature oscillations. They provide a model system for studying mechanisms that drive establishment and early assembly of communities. Here, we synthesize more than twenty years of research at the...
In endurance-trained men, an acute bout of exercise is shown to suppress post-exercise appetite, yet limited research has examined this response in women. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise intensity on appetite and gut hormone responses in endurance-trained women. Highly-trained women (n = 15,...
Successful host cell colonization by the Q fever pathogen, Coxiella burnetii, requires translocation of effector proteins into
the host cytosol by a Dot/Icm type 4B secretion system (T4BSS). In Legionella pneumophila, the two-component system (TCS)
PmrAB regulates the Dot/Icm T4BSS and several additional physiological processes associated with pathogenesis. Because PmrA...

Molluscan internal defenses rely heavily on circulating hemocytes. In most cases, encounters with large foreign bodies result in recognition by hemocytes followed by spreading of these defense cells over the object’s surface. The resulting encapsulation concentrates the force of the hemocytes’ assault on the foreign object.
