On the Structure of the Orbit Spaces of Almost Torus Manifolds with Non-negative Curvature

Creator:: Dong, Zheting
Abstract:: An almost torus manifold $M$ is a closed $(2n+1)$-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold with an effective, isometric $n$-torus action such that the fixed point set $M^T$ is non-empty. Almost torus manifolds are analogues of torus manifolds in odd dimension and share many of the characteristics of torus manifolds. For example, both...

Host-pathogen dynamics in a changing environment : susceptibility of amphibians to an emerging infectious disease

Creator:: Searle, Catherine L.
Abstract:: Infectious diseases are a growing concern for both humans and wildlife. The negative effects of infectious disease have been exemplified by the recent global amphibian population declines associated with disease outbreaks. Although multiple pathogens and factors play a role in these declines, the aquatic fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has...

The chemistry of acetohydroxamic acid related to nuclear fuel reprocessing

Creator:: Matteson, Brent Searle
Abstract:: Used Nuclear Fuel (UNF) contains transuranic (TRU) elements and numerous fission products as a result of the uranium fission process and neutron activation that occur in commercial light water power reactors. Recent environmental and nuclear proliferation concerns have spawned the development of advanced reprocessing techniques to close the nuclear fuel...

Gender Stereotypes in Halloween Costumes

Creator:: Searles, Samantha A. P.
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that gender stereotypes are present in advertisements and in popular culture items. We conducted a content analysis of Halloween costumes to examine the presence of gender stereotypes in the poses of the models, weapons, and costume role (e.g. hero, counter authority, mythical creature, royalty). A sample...

The influence of chemical and biochemical properties on the herbicidal efficiency of 3-cyclohexyl-5, 6-trimethylene uracil and 2-bromo-6'T-butyl-o-acetotoluidide

Creator:: Mackenzie, John William
Abstract:: Application of herbicides to the soil has become an important factor in the production of row crops. Economic production of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), an important row crop, requires efficient methods of weed control. Two experimental herbicides, 3-cyclohexyl-5,6-trimethylene uracil (DP634) and 2-bromo-6't-butyl-o-acetotoluidide (CP32179), had shown promise in sugar beet screening...

Role of the Sisters Fault Zone in the Separation of Siletzia from the Cascadia Backarc

Creator:: Mark-Moser, MacKenzie
Abstract:: Oblique subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate characterizes the tectonic setting of the Pacific Northwest. North American plate deformation at the latitude of central Oregon consists of the clockwise-rotation of the Siletzia block in the forearc and the extensional Basin and Range province in...

A study of a counseling practicum in facilitating the self-actualizing process

Creator:: Phillips, John MacKenzie
Abstract:: The problem of this study was to determine whether graduate students in education (the experimentals) participating in a counseling practicum would demonstrate a change in self-actualization which would be significantly different when compared with other graduate students in education (the comparisons) who were not participating in the above program. The...

Cannabis and Emotion Processing: A Review of Behavioral, Physiological, and Neural Responses

Creator:: MacKenzie, Alyssa A.
Abstract:: With cannabis use increasing globally, it is important to understand its acute and chronic impacts on human physiology and behavior. It is proposed that cannabis use is linked to impairments in emotion processing, and brain regions that underlie these processes. The purpose of this review paper is to provide the...

Assessing Changes in Biological Interactions of Lipid-Coated Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Based on Physicochemical Properties

Creator:: Engstrom, Arek Mackenzie
Abstract:: Nanoparticles (NPs), particles defined by their size in a single dimension (1-100 nm), are being increasingly incorporated into commercial and industrial products due to their high surface area to volume ratio that gives them unique properties, such as optical tunability and higher reactivity than their bulk counterparts. NPs can be...
