(2017-05)If a crude oil spill were to occur in partially ice-covered waters, many of the response tactics typically utilized in either open water or completely ice-covered conditions would become inefficient. In such situations, ...
-
(2016-05)We compare three models for their ability to perform binary spatial classification. A geospatial data set consisting of observations that are either permafrost or not is used for this comparison. All three use an underlying ...
-
(2002)The sexual abuse of children by adults is a serious social problem. Some sexually abused children become sexually abusive toward others. This is sometimes called coercive sexual behavior, and little is known about how ...
-
(2012)BACKGROUND: Molecular approaches have expedited the discovery of human obesity genes, however the heritability explained by these loci remains low (<2%). Gene-by-environment interactions may partially account for the ...
-
(2008-12)Multi-factorial diseases, like obesity, are caused by genetic and environmental factors. Few studies examine potential interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Understanding these interactions can lead to ...
-
(2011)Alaskan sled dogs present us with the unique opportunity to study the development of a population of dogs produced from the selective breeding of high performance athletes. I establish that sled dogs are a genetically ...
-
(2004-12)The non-protein amino acid a-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) occurs naturally in soil. Burkholderia cepacia utilizes Aib as a sole nitrogen source by virtue of a 2,2-dialkylglycine decarboxylase, which is encoded by the dgdA ...
-
(2012)To determine how inheritance, environment, and hybridization influenced developmental timing, otolith formation, and gill raker development in pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), full and half-sibling families from Auke ...
-
(2011-08)Spatial heterogeneity in selection pressures can lead to extensive morphological variation and differences at functional genes between populations across a species' range without corresponding genetic variation at neutral ...

-
(2002-08)Periodic glacial advances during the Pleistocene fragmented and displaced populations, while lowered sea levels permitted a biotic interchange between Asia and North America via the Bering Land Bridge. The tundra vole ...
-
(2019-05)Tanner crab (Chionoecetes bairdi) is a large-bodied species of crab harvested in commercial, personal use, and subsistence fisheries across Alaska. The commercial fisheries were highly productive until the 1980s, when most ...
-
(2000-12)This thesis describes research aimed at understanding the structure and function of LysR-type transcriptional regulators. I studied two LysR-type proteins. One from the archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii, MJ-LysR. The other ...
-
Genetic linkage mapping of allozyme loci in even- and odd-year pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) (1998)Genetic linkage maps of allozyme loci were constructed in even- and odd-year pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). The loci were mapped based on the results of gene-centromere (G-C) mapping and joint segregation analysis. ...
-
(2004-12)Gynodioecy, the coexistence of hermaphrodites and females within plant populations, is often caused by an interaction between maternally-inherited cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) genes and nuclear male fertility restorer ...
-
(1986-05)Populations of Alaskan muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) are derived from 34 animals transplanted from East Greenland in the 1930s. The possibility of a founder effect following this transplant was investigated. Muscle, liver ...
-
(2005-08)Saxitoxin, the causative agent of paralytic shellfish poisoning, is produced by dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria, the latter being a far simpler organism at the genomic level. In order to establish a baseline for future ...
-
(1992)Geochemical studies of active and fossil fumaroles were conducted at Mount St. Augustine and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes (VTTS) to investigate fumarolic systems for providing information on volcanic and magmatic ...
