The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

Creator:: Meunier, Zechariah D.
Abstract:: Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...

Assessment and Recommendations for Interpretive Programming around Climate Change at the Glades Wildlife Refuge

Creator:: Boyd, Kelsey
Abstract:: This paper identifies 51 best practices of interpretive programming in relation to the topic of climate change and applies those practices to interpretive programs delivered by Natural Lands, a Pennsylvania environmental non-profit organization, and specifically at the Glades Wildlife Refuge, one of Natural Lands’ nature preserves. The best practices are...

Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing with the Current Capabilities of MOOSE and Marmot

Creator:: VandenBroeder, Gavin T.
Abstract:: Nanoscale Instrumented Indentation Testing (IIT) is a material characterization technique that is used to determine mechanical properties. The size effects present at this scale make it difficult to expand findings to a bulk scale. Modeling can be used to bridge this gap and better understand nanoscale IIT and the size...

A Numerical Investigation of the Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Salt-Encrusted Flat Sabkha

Creator:: Refaei, Raied
Abstract:: Salt-encrusted flats, or Sabkha, are common in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, including coastal and inland areas. Due to their low shear strength and high compressibility, these soils are often unsuitable for supporting infrastructure or structures. The unique salt content of sabkha formations sets them apart from other soil types....

Systematic Codes for Correcting Deletion/Insertion of One Zero in Each and Every Bucket of Zeros

Creator:: Vu, Hoang
Abstract:: In this thesis, we propose a systematic code for correcting t = 1 insertion/deletion errors of the character ”0” that can occur between any two consecutive 1’s in a binary string. The code requires balanced input strings, where each word of length n contains ⌈n/2⌉ 0’s and ⌊n/2⌋ 1’s. This...

Anti-obesity and Metabolic Health Impact of Pacific Dulse (Devaleraea mollis) and Nori (Pyropia spp.) Seaweeds in Western Diet-Induced Obese C57BL/6J Mice

Creator:: Zhou, Leyi
Abstract:: Seaweeds have gained tremendous recognition as a highly nutritious and sustainable crop. The diverse components of seaweeds are known to exhibit a wide range of bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and cardiovascular health benefits. One such promising seaweed is Pacific dulse (Devaleraea mollis). While it holds great cultivating potential on the...

The Promise and Unfinished Business of Title IX

Creator:: Mannen, Noelle
Abstract:: The law commonly referred to as Title IX, which was passed in 1972, called for an end to sex-based discrimination in educational and federally-funded settings. Before long, it became particularly associated with the quest for equality for women’s sports. As Title IX was a major catalyst in advancing and even...

Effects of Whey Protein Consumption on Inflammatory Biomarker Levels in Healthy Older Adults

Creator:: Adler, Samuel
Abstract:: Whey protein’s potential for bioactivity is well documented, but there is disagreement on the extent to which it may modulate the immune system towards decreased inflammation. Decreased inflammation is generally perceived as a beneficial bioactivity in foods as excessive chronic inflammation is linked to morbidity and mortality. This thesis first...

Learning from optimization for bipedal robots

Creator:: Yu, Fangzhou
Abstract:: Legged robots have consistently captured our collective imagination through various forms of media, from Hollywood films, anime, and viral Youtube videos of robots accomplishing incredible feats of acrobatics. These robots have the potential to navigate our environments, capable of completing tasks that would otherwise require human intervention. However, developing controls...

Community Ecology and Population Genomics of Rhizopogon in the Madrean Sky Island Archipelago

Creator:: Piña Páez, Carolina G.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic induced climate change is predicted to alter distribution of existing plant populations. As plants migrate over space and time, populations often fragment and contract, affecting basic elements of population dynamics (e.g., population size, gene flow, genetic diversity, etc.). Little is known, however, how these impacts on plant species will...
