Understanding Visitor Motivations for Attending Fee-based Animal Encounter Programs

Creator:: Huynh, Sandra
Abstract:: Education programs at zoos and aquariums provide opportunities for visitors to learn and garner information on animal natural history and, hopefully, conservation messaging. Fee-based programs (programs with an additional fee on top of admission prices), which are commonly employed by zoos and aquariums to foster learning opportunities for visitors, are...

Comparison of Common Ravens in Sage-grouse Core and Non-Core Areas: Assessing Predator Densities Related to Anthropogenic Features

Creator:: Revekant, Claire L.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus: hereafter sage-grouse) abundance and distribution in North America has declined over the last century. Many factors have contributed to this decline, including habitat loss and fragmentation from human development with an associated potential for increased predation. While human development has been connected to lower sage-grouse demographic...

Red Tree Voles: Examining the Potential Factors Limiting Occupancy and Survival in Young Conifer Forests of the Central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Durham, William P.
Abstract:: Forested landscapes in the Pacific Northwest have changed drastically in the last Century with large-scale wildfires, and increased extent and frequency of commercial timber harvests. Thus, landscapes once dominated by older forest cover types became a matrix of younger forests with patches of older forests dispersed throughout. These younger forests...

Using reanalysis data to characterize Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers

Creator:: Ourada, Quin
Abstract:: The net mass balance fluctuations of Arctic and Sub-Arctic glaciers, north of 47.5° North latitude, are described over a 45-year period from 1957 to 2002 using two parameters derived from a gridded climatology reanalysis. Variability among 185 measured glaciers was represented according to two main components. The first component represents...

Exploring the Limits of Ligation Rate and Specificity in Protein Immobilization Using the Genetically Encoded Tetrazine Ligation

Creator:: Bednar, Riley M.
Abstract:: Immobilized proteins are integral components of a number of important technologies, including the principal component of many biosensors, as functional coatings in various implants, as catalysts is industrial biosynthesis, and as the building blocks of next-generation nanotechnologies. Despite their ubiquity, relatively little is known about the processes that shape immobilized...

From ALS to Antibodies: New Techniques in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteoform Characterization

Creator:: Meeuwsen, Joseph C.
Abstract:: Altogether, this dissertation highlights the value of mass spectrometry-based analysis of intact proteins for solving problems related to understanding disease mechanisms and developing new therapeutics. Mutations to the antioxidant enzyme Cu, Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) perturb protein structure in vivo to cause 2-5% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. Metal-deficient...

Establishing Larval Zebrafish as an In Vivo Model Organism for Characterizing the Roles of Otoferlin, a Sensory Hair Cell Protein Essential for Hearing

Creator:: Chatterjee, Paroma
Abstract:: Auditory defects and disorders are prevalent at all ages and affect 8% of the population in developed nations including newborns and children. Congenital hearing loss is the most common birth defect and it is estimated that 1 in 1000 children are affected by deafness at birth or before the onset...

Life history variables of Dicamptodon salamanders

Creator:: Wagner, Lisa A.
Abstract:: It is good practice to fully understand components of an ecosystem if we hope to preserve its biodiversity. A problem is that we know very little about some organisms and nothing of others. Studies that investigate an organism’s basic biological, ecological and physiological life history variables advance our knowledge of...

Examining the Latino experience in California agricultural education : a parallel mixed methods multiple case study

Creator:: Elliott, Kristopher Michael
Abstract:: Latino students are among the fastest growing demographic groups in the nation, particularly in California, Texas, Florida, and New York. Within California in 2014, over 70,000 students are involved in Agricultural Education programs, and Latino students now account for over 50% of the total enrollment - and the percentage of...

Political Ideology and Environmental Concern as Predictors of Attitudes toward Forest Management Practices in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Arnold, Molly L.
Abstract:: Few studies examine whether public attitudes toward forest management practices differ between public and private forests, with virtually no recent studies examining these differences in the Pacific Northwest, despite the coexistence of millions of acres of both public and private forest lands. Knowing whether public attitudes differ between public and...
