Bio-physical interactions of small pelagic fish schools and zooplankton prey in the California Current System over multiple scales

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...

Silicon biogeochemistry in the open-ocean surface waters : insights from the Sargasso Sea and equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Krause, Jeffrey W.
Abstract:: Diatoms are a ubiquitous group of plankton responsible for 20-40% of oceanic primary production, and a higher fraction of organic matter export to the ocean interior. Diatoms actively transport dissolved inorganic silicon into their cells, and through the process of silicification (i.e. biogenic silica production) they build tough and intricate...

A comparative study of prenatal behavior ontogeny in altricial and precocial murid rodents

Creator:: Robinson, Scott R., 1952-
Abstract:: Using techniques that permit the direct observation of fetuses in vivo, prenatal behavioral development was compared among four species in the rodent family Muridae: the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus), cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), and spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus). Rattus and Meriones bear altricial offspring, as do...

Seconds to hour scale photosynthetic responses in marine microalgae

Creator:: Laney, Samuel R.
Abstract:: Our view of phytoplankton has historically revolved around their inability to control their location in space. The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...

The Costa Rica Dome : a study of physics, zooplankton and blue whales

Creator:: Matteson, Robyn S.
Abstract:: At the Costa Rica Dome (CRD), upwelling associated with cyclonic circulation and the presence of a shallow thermocline support a highly productive biological habitat, exploited by marine fauna at several trophic levels. During January 2008, a cruise to the CRD by the R/V Pacific Storm was conducted to relocate blue...

Cytokinin oxidase activity from Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Great Northern callus tissues

Creator:: Chatfield, J. Mark
Abstract:: Cytokinin oxidase activity in callus tissues of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Great Northern has been examined using an assay based on the oxidation of radioactively labeled N⁶ -(Δ² -isopentenyl) adenine (i⁶Ade) to adenine (Ade). Conditions for the quantitative extraction and assay of the enzyme have been established. The substrate specificity...

Constraint based personalization

Creator:: Nagboth, Sai Rajkiran
Abstract:: Personalization is defined as a process that facilitates interaction among consumers and providers such that individual consumers are enabled to more readily access the content and services of providers, and individual providers are enabled to more effectively and easily deliver their content and services to consumers. This project presents a...

Register spilling in a compiler for architectures with multiple identical functional units

Creator:: Goodman, Joseph M.
Abstract:: A good code generator must effectively utilize the registers provided by the target architecture. Although a number of register allocation techniques exist, few address the issues involved in multiple register banks and no known techniques exist for effectively using register banks of the same type that are associated with multiple...

Design of a mechanically assisted dependent transfer mechanism for use on board commercial aircraft

Creator:: Gibson, Brenton D.
Abstract:: Business and recreation in the modern day world often include air travel as their cornerstone. Travelers who are disabled and wheelchair bound have to undergo a transfer process to board and deplane a commercial aircraft. This transfer process is typically done manually, with agents physically lifting the passenger who is...
