Climate Changers: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Reducing Personal Carbon Emissions

Creator:: Johnson, Carly A.
Abstract:: In an era of human-induced climate change, there is increasing interest in encouraging people to reduce their carbon dioxide (carbon) emissions by adopting low-carbon behaviors, or behaviors that reduce a person’s use of fossil fuels. I designed the Campus Carbon Challenge as a research and outreach project to gain a...

Genetic Connectivity of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) in the California Current System and Puget Sound

Creator:: Jackson, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Understanding connectivity among exploited populations is critical to their sustainable management and long-term viability. In the marine environment, estimates of connectivity often rely on the use of genetic markers, as dispersal primarily occurs during a planktonic larval phase which is difficult to track using direct methods. In this thesis, we...

Stress, Social Support, and Life Satisfaction Among Adults with Rare Diseases

Creator:: Bryson, Brooke A.
Abstract:: In the US, a disease is classified as rare if it affects less than 200,000 individuals a year. Despite considerable similarities, individuals with rare diseases (RDs) report worse life quality and satisfaction with life (SWL) than those with common chronic conditions. One potential avenue to increase SWL is through improving...

Characterizing Fine-Scale Neutral and Adaptive Genetic Diversity of Oncorhynchus mykiss in the Klamath Basin Before Dam Removal

Creator:: Piotrowski, Stanley J.
Abstract:: An inextricable link exists between dams and human development in the Pacific Northwest, but they can fragment rivers and reduce genetic connectivity for freshwater and anadromous fishes. Since the early-twentieth century, a series of hydropower and irrigation dams on the mainstem Klamath River, California, has fragmented migratory corridors and eliminated...

Big Fishery, Big Data, and Little Crabs: Using a Genomic Approach to Examine Larval Recruitment Patterns of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) in the California Current Ecosystem

Creator:: Lee, Elizabeth M. J.
Abstract:: The California Current Ecosystem (CCE) is a dynamic marine ecosystem from which many socioeconomically important fisheries species are harvested. In this thesis, a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach was used to examine genomic variation in an early life stage of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), which constitutes the most valuable single-species commercial...

Gender differences and level of aspiration as factors in tennis skill performance of college students

Creator:: Keowmookdar, Nattaya
Abstract:: Level of aspiration plays a part in achievement motivation which supports teaching/learning in motor performances. In the past, females reported poorer ability in performances, set lower levels of aspiration, and had lesser achievement motives than males (Crandall, 1969; Stein & Bailey, 1973; Sumner & Johnson, 1949). Some researchers found there...

Early Selection for Improving Volume Growth in Coastal Douglas-fir Breeding Programs

Creator:: Ye, T. Z. and Jayawickrama, K. J. S.
Abstract:: Measurements on growth traits up to 41 years of age from 68 progeny sites in eight first-generation breeding zones of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [MIRB.] FRANCO var. menziesii) in the US Pacific Northwest were used to investigate age trends of genetic parameters and to determine optimum age of selection. Heritabilities...

Continuous Hydrologic Simulation of Johnson Creek Basin

Creator:: Shimota, Richard J. and Hadley, Hans R.
Abstract:: Peak discharge estimates are fundamental in the design of hydraulic structures, embankment protection, and stream restoration efforts, as well as flood risk analysis. Historic stream gage records are commonly used in the development of peak discharge estimates for a particular watershed. Use of an entire stream gage record assumes hydrologic...

The Lateralization of Emotional Perception

Creator:: Robles, Rafael
Abstract:: There is consensus among researchers that some form of hemispheric lateralization exists when perceiving emotions. However, conclusions regarding the exact organization have been inconsistent with some studies supporting an overall right hemisphere lateralization and others suggesting differential lateralization for positively and negatively valenced emotions. The main objective of this study...

Attitudes Toward Disability in Self and Other : Assessment and Educational Intervention

Creator:: Bonnett, Amy K.
Abstract:: Negative attitudes towards people with disabilities persist in our society, limiting the inclusion of people with disabilities in a multitude of social roles. Despite existing research on the nature of these attitudes and interventions to improve them, people with disabilities continue to cite social barriers as some of their greatest...
