Metamorphosis, growth, and settlement of Pacific sanddab (Citharichthys sordidus) to a continental shelf nursery, inferred from otolith microstructure

Creator:: Donohoe, Christopher James
Abstract:: Processes of metamorphosis, settlement, and growth were examined in Pacific sanddab using field studies and otolith microstructure. This flatfish transforms at large sizes, has a gradual metamorphosis, and settles to a nursery on the middle continental shelf. Eye migration takes 3 months and "metamorphosis proper" which begins after completion of...

Vitellogenesis : a biomarker for estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects of organochlorines in rainbow trout

Creator:: Donohoe, Regina M.
Abstract:: Persistent organochlorines (OCs) bioaccumulate in aquatic biota and potentially impair reproduction via endocrine disruption. The present research evaluated estrogenic effects of the OCs, chlordecone (CD) and o,p'-DDT/DDE, and the antiestrogenicity of 3,4,5,3',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (345-HCB) in juvenile rainbow trout, utilizing vitellogenesis as a biomarker. Vitellogenesis, estrogen regulated hepatic production of the yolk...

'That life of commonplace sacrifices' : representations of womanhood in Irish Catholic culture in James Joyce's Dubliners

Creator:: McGrory, Suzette L.
Abstract:: Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...

Phenotypic response and quantitative trait loci for resistance to Cephalosporium gramineum in winter wheat

Creator:: Quincke, Martin C.
Abstract:: Cephalosporium stripe (Cephalosporium gramineum) is an important disease limiting adoption of conservation tillage practices in the Pacific Northwest. The disease can cause severe loss of grain yield and quality in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Modified cultural practices can reduce disease incidence, but are not always dependable because of variation...

Steel confined yielding damper for earthquake resistant design

Creator:: Newell, James D.
Abstract:: An experimental study of a passive energy dissipation tension-compression yielding brace or buckling restrained brace has been conducted. The Confined Yielding Damper (CYD) consists of a steel yielding core confined within a tube filled with non-cohesive media. The external tube and confined non-cohesive media provide lateral stability to the core...

Enzyme associations in deoxyribonucleotide biosynthesis : anti-idiotypic antibodies as probes for direct protein-protein interactions

Creator:: Young, James Patrick
Abstract:: The ability to faithfully replicate DNA is dependent upon the maintenance and regulation of its precursors, the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. Enzymes encoded by the bacteriophage T4 have been widely used as models of biochemical processes. A body of evidence supports the concept that the bacteriophage T4 enzymes involved in deoxyribonucleotide biosynthesis...

A complex signal to noise problem : determining the aerosol indirect effect from observations of ship tracks in AVHRR data

Creator:: Walsh, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Cloud reflectivity is a function of cloud liquid water content and droplet number concentration. Since cloud droplets form around pre-existing aerosol particles, cloud droplet number concentration depends on the availability of particles that can serve as cloud condensation nuclei. Given constant liquid water amount, increased availability of cloud condensation nuclei...

Properties of marine stratus and stratocumulus derived using collocated MODIS and CALIPSO observations

Creator:: Hayes, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Adiabatic parcel models suggest specific relationships between cloud thickness and cloud properties. Such relationships govern cloud radiative forcing and thus cloud feedbacks in the climate system. Current remote sensing techniques work well at measuring these properties in low-level cloud systems that are overcast. Significant biases exist, however, when measuring cloud...

Lamarck's approach to an understanding of man

Creator:: Dobson, Christopher Michael
Abstract:: Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) is considered here in the context of the Enlightenment effort to develop a science of man. His Philosophie zoologique (1809) and the Systeme analytique (1820) are the two principal relevant works examined in depth to discover how he meant to base a science of man on...

Asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropanes via a "zipper reaction"

Creator:: Lincoln, Christopher M.
Abstract:: The rearrangement of a homoallyl cation to a cyclopropylcarbinyl cation is thought to play a role in the biogenesis of a variety of cyclopropane-containing natural products,¹ a hypothesis which has previously led to the design of successful biomimetic syntheses of several natural products.² The strategy underlying this approach to cyclopropane...
