The research presented in this thesis evaluated the effects of
uranyl (UO₂⁺⁺) upon the absorption of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cl. Due
to the biological importance of Na and K, these two ions were
studied in the greatest detail.
The results of this research showed that, at UO₂⁺⁺ concentrations...

This investigation assessed the effectiveness of an adolescent substance abuse treatment program that incorporated "Rites of Passage." Named Gender Based Treatment (GBT), the treatment program sought to address the adolescents' developmental needs through the use of rituals, myth and story telling, and rites of initiation.
Employing quantitative and qualitative analysis,...
Following the work of Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya for Faber polynomials associated to the modular group, and Bannai, Kojima, and Miezaki's partial proof for the case of the Fricke group of level 2, we show that the zeros of certain modular functions for some low-level genus zero groups associated to...
Little is known about non-industrial private forestland (NIPF) owners in relation to Oregon’s two primary preferential forest property tax programs: Forestland Program – the default tax program for many forestland owners, and Small Tract Forestland Option (STF) – a voluntary program wherein landowners pay reduced annual property taxes and an...
Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...
Interest in mapping bathymetry from multispectral satellite imagery has grown steadily since the 1970s. Notwithstanding the significant advancements made during this time, one limitation is that the group of algorithms collectively referred to as Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) generally require “seed depths,” hindering their use for areas lacking reliable reference...
Scientists and engineers have to analyze and query multiple large databases. Analysis over databases created by phasor measurement units can provide insight into the health of the grid, thereby improving control over operations. Realizing this data-driven control, however, requires validating, processing and storing massive amounts of PMU data efficiently, which...
The United States is a global leader in agricultural productivity. Much of its productivity growth can be attributed to public investments in agricultural research and development, starting in the 19th century and continuing until today. Past studies have shown high returns to agricultural research investments, but publicly funded agricultural research...
