The filbert is propagated by layerage and a faster method is
needed to keep pace with the rapidly expanding industry and the demand
for new cultivars. Propagation by seedage and graftage were the
two methods selected for evaluation in the research. Seed experiments
were initiated to identify optimum treatments for...
Celebrity culture is part of a long history of fame, but the modern celebrity individual came into focus in the nineteenth century. The first part of this thesis distinguishes modern celebrity – including its morality – from other types of fame, explores the intersection of celebrity and gender through the...
Mutualistic associations between corals and symbiotic microalgae of the genus Symbiodium power tropical reef ecosystems, hotspots of marine biodiversity that buffer coastlines, support tourism- and fisheries-based economies, and offer untapped potential for discovery of novel pharmaceutical compounds. However, reef ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, in large part due...
Plant species diversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem function and the services that ecosystems provide. Diversity is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and global climate change. Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens), an endangered species, has been reintroduced at two different sites
(Field 29 and 8N) within William L....
Existing mythologies that depict female sexuality, too often, portray females as passive objects who either accept sexual advances or resist sexual advances. This thesis attempts to create an alternative mythology where females are active participants in their sexual experiences. I portray four females in four different stories. In two stories...
This study investigated the effect of cooking on the
neutral detergent fiber (NDF) content of cauliflower and
carrots. For each replication the vegetable was divided
in half to serve as its own control. One half was used
raw and the other half was cooked in 60 ml of distilled
water...
A large, damaging earthquake in 1944 on a blind thrust fault caused 60 cm of surface rupture on the subsidiary La Laja fault and additional unmeasured growth of an associated backlimb fold. Both the fold and fault are components of the La Laja Fault System (LLFS) located 25 km northeast...
Background:
Coral reef ecosystems are declining in response to global climate change and anthropogenic impacts. Yet patterns of standing genetic variation within cnidarian species, a major determinant of adaptive potential, are virtually unknown at genome-scale resolution. We explore patterns of genome-wide polymorphism and identify candidate loci under selection in the...
