Spinach peroxidase and the photo-oxidation of manganese by isolated chloroplasts

Creator:: McKenna, John Michael
Abstract:: Manganese has been known to be essential for photosynthesis for almost 30 years. Subsequent experimentation indicated a definite function for manganese in oxygen evolution. However, the mode of action of manganese and further localization of its site of action have not been determined. Ten years ago it was demonstrated that...

The beetle tree of life reveals that Coleoptera survived end-Permian mass extinction to diversify during the Cretaceous terrestrial revolution

Creator:: Mckenna, Duane D., Wild, Alexander L., Kanda, Kojun, Bellamy, Charles L., Beutel, Rolf G., Caterino, Michael S., Farnum, Charles W., Hawks, David C., Ivie, Michael A., Jameson, Mary Liz, Leschen, Richard A. B., Marvaldi, Adriana E., McHugh, Joseph V., Newton, Alfred F., Robertson, James A., Thayer, Margaret K., Whiting, Michael F., Lawrence, John F., S´lipin´ski, Adam, Maddison, David R., and Farrell, Brian D.
Abstract:: Here we present a phylogeny of beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) based on DNA sequence data from eight nuclear genes, including six single-copy nuclear protein-coding genes, for 367 species representing 172 of 183 extant families. Our results refine existing knowledge of relationships among major groups of beetles. Strepsiptera was confirmed as sister...

Historical Sources of Science-as-Social-Practice: Michael Polanyi's Berlin

Creator:: Nye, Mary Jo
Abstract:: Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Drunken Walking: A Novel Brownian Dynamics Simulation for the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Dynein Motor Protein

Creator:: Waczak, John L.
Abstract:: The dynein molecule is a peculiar motor protein recognized for its unique stepping behavior. Sometimes it steps forwards. Other times it steps backwards. It has even been observed to occasionally shuffle by beginning a step with the same domain many times in row. These motions make dynein an interesting object...

Using a single-well push-pull test to estimate mass transfer rate parameters

Creator:: Kelley, Michael John
Abstract:: More efficient methods are needed for the in-situ evaluation of mass transfer parameters which describe the movement of solutes through aquifer material. The objective of this study was to develop a method for estimating diffusion rate and capacity coefficients using a single-well, "push-pull" tracer test. The method consists of the...

John Fiske's philosophy of science : the union of science and religion through the principle of evolution

Creator:: Lester, Jacob Franklin
Abstract:: Modern science was produced by a Christian society, and although science has had an effect on Christianity, it could not itself remain unaffected. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the subject of evolution was as much a religious as a scientific issue. The battle line was drawn and...

How the animals found their places : pattern detection, experimentation, and epistemology in a high desert stream fish assemblage

Creator:: White, Seth Michael
Abstract:: I examined the relative roles of biotic and abiotic factors in structuring redband trout Oncorhynchus mykiss distributions in the South Fork John Day. I first examined the relationship between the biological traits of the fish assemblage and riparian-geomorphic features in context of prevailing theories of stream ecology stemming from the...

Downstream Rearing Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Upper Mainstem of the John Day River

Creator:: Scheu, Michael P.
Abstract:: Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) leave the natal reach at different times and move downstream at different rates which can increase their productivity by allowing them to utilize habitats on different temporal scales and spreading risk of localized stochastic events. This life history diversity can also allow fish to adapt...

Organizing for Digitization: a Survey

Creator:: Boock, Michael and Vondracek, Ruth
Abstract:: How are academic libraries organizing themselves in order to engage in the content selection and digitization of local collections? Are libraries creating new positions or units, assigning responsibilities to existing departments, setting up cross-functional collaboration among existing departments, or using a combination of these strategies? Who holds responsibility for the...
