A significant proportion of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain, a category of disease that is not yet well understood by healthcare professionals. A majority of this group is made up of women; individuals who often have to convince healthcare professionals that their symptoms are real...
There is little, if any, direct fossil evidence of the cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive or digestive biology of dinosaurs. However, a variety of data can be used to draw reasonable inferences about the physiology of the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda). Extant archosaurs, birds and crocodilians, possess regionally differentiated, vascularized and...
This thesis focuses on performances of masculinity by British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) airmen in the charged landscape of the First World War prisoner of war (POW) camp. I examine how captive airmen coped with imprisonment by reasserting the familiar homosocial communities of pre-capture squadron life, particularly through practices associated...

Providing transformational learning opportunities for undergraduate students demands changes to teaching practices. In large-enrollment introductory courses, graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play an important role in facilitating student learning in small group environments. However GTAs are not provided the pedagogical development necessary to support them to be effective in their teaching...
The demands of the healthcare system on its employees are heavy and intense. Long working hours, high-stress environments, and emotionally exhausting situations can lead to burnout. This is particularly a constant concern in emergency medicine. Burnout has been associated with impacting well-being and performance. There is also an interest in...
Learning assistant (LA) programs are gaining increasing popularity as a means to shift instructional practice in STEM classrooms. In these programs, trained undergraduate students join the instructional team and support student-centered active learning pedagogies. Their professional development is typically supported through a seminar. In facilitating small group collaborative learning, LAs...
Approximately 2,000 workers in the United States sustain work-related eye injuries that require medical treatment every day. While the majority of eye injuries are not fatal, they can cause temporary or permanent vision loss and result in a decrease in the quality of life of the individuals affected. Unlike blindness...

Plywood is the second largest, by value, wood-based product being imported by United Arab Emirates (UAE), below paper products and also second in terms of volume below sawn wood. Very few studies have been done of the UAE market for plywood. This thesis takes a scientific, marketing planning approach to...
OWET commissioned this gap analysis to assess the infrastructure needs of ocean renewable energy and compare those needs against the existing and planned infrastructure capabilities in Oregon. The Wave Energy Infrastructure Assessment in Oregon report summarizes the results of the assessment performed by Advanced Research
Corporation and is intended to...
The purpose of this study is to ethnographically examine traditionally prescribed notions of sons and daughters in an Indian diasporic community located on Devon Avenue in Chicago. Informed by the association between "ideal" and "actual" family building patterns, this study situates reproductive behaviors and demographic outcomes in its local context...
Ocean acidification is predicted to occur first in polar oceans. We investigated the
saturation state of waters with respect to calcite (Wcal) and aragonite (Warg) in six sections
along an Arctic outflow pathway through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) and into
the northwestern Atlantic using dissolved inorganic carbon and total...

A major achievement in research supported by the Kluane Lake Research Station was the recovery, in 2001–02, of a suite of cores from the icefields of the central St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, by teams of researchers from Canada, the United States, and Japan. This project led to the development of...
This bibliography of insect mycophagy results from a literature search on the ecology of hypogeous fungi. It is hoped that this admittedly incomplete list will provide a nucleus of references for those unfamiliar with the topic. Using the "bracket" fungi (Polyporaceae) as an example, most
of the literature can be...
Applied problems are a necessity for a well-rounded and rigorous education in mathematics. This thesis summarizes the literature about student engagement with applied problems in order to develop a set of criteria for what makes an engaging and meaningful applied mathematics problem. Based on a review of the literature, this...
Cob is an earthen building material composed of sand, clay and straw. Though cob homes
are presently being built in the Pacific Northwest, there is no applicable building code for this
material. The purpose of this study is to establish estimates for the major engineering parameters,
including both average values...
The morphology of a rather rare parasitic copepod was
studied. Ismaila monstrosa Bergh, an endoparasitic copepod was
found in the nudibranch, Antiopella fusca, at Coos Bay, Oregon.
Many anatomical features were found, which were different from
previous descriptions. Males were described for the first time.
Young males lacked the gonadal...
This paper is focussed upon the marketing implications and adoption responses from a 3 years multidisciplinary Research Councils UK project which has examined the prospects for UK (agricultural) farmers to diversify into production of warm-water tilapia. The proposed production process and product characteristics abound with green credentials, consistent with emergent...
Managed honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies are important pollinators of many cultivated crops. Honey bee colony declines averaging 30% annually in the United States for the past 7 years have caused significant concern and hence have been a topic of intensive investigation. These declines are reportedly due to multiple...
