Modeling Life Stage Dynamics Of Pseudocalanus Spp. (Copepoda: Calanoida) From Prince William Sound, Alaska, Natalia M. Pintchouk

Fisheries

A stage at age 1D numerical model (SAGE) was developed to describe reproduction, development, and growth of a group of neritic copepods Pseudocalanus spp., and to predict structure and demography of this group. The model tests the relative importance of female abundance, temperature and food on productivity. During spring and the beginning of the summer, stage-specific abundance data from one location in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska were available to evaluate the reproductive timing and provide model validation. Development of Pseudocalanus spp. was modelled as synchronous, without overlapping broods. Molting costs and assimilation efficiency were estimated from literature data on …

Maximizing Qiviut Growth In Muskoxen, Morgan A. Robertson

Biological Sciences

Qiviut, the insulating underwool grown annually by muskoxen, is the basis of a successful knitting industry in Alaska. This study tested the hypothesis that the dietary sulfur-amino acid methionine could limit qiviut growth. Effects of commercial rumen-protected methionine supplements were measured in three experiments. In Experiment 1, emergent qiviut growth began in May and June, peaked in August and declined substantially by October. Three commercial methionine supplements were palatable and promoted fiber growth in subadult and adult muskoxen. In Experiment 2, the methionine supplement Smartamine promoted qiviut quality, growth, annual yield and strength. In a commercial enterprise, Experiment 3, Smartamine …

Mechanism Of Impact And Potential Recovery Of Pigeon Guillemots (Cepphus Columba) After The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, Pamela Seiser

Biological Sciences

The abundance of pigeon guillemots in oiled areas of Prince William Sound, Alaska, failed to increase after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. Population growth may be constrained by the physiological effects of oil exposure, food availability, and nest predation." The author "conducted a comparative study among unoiled, oiled, and pre-spill data sets, to provide insight on factors limiting population recovery in oiled areas. Blood samples from chicks in oiled and unoiled areas provided little evidence of physiological effects of exposure to oil. Pigeon guillemot diet, productivity, growth rates, and fledging weights in unoiled areas of southwestern Prince William Sound …

Physiological Ecology Of Porphyra Sporophytes: Growth, Photosynthesis, Respiration And Pigments, Rulong Lin

Fisheries

Growth, photosynthesis, respiration and photosynthetic pigments of the sporophytic stage for Alaskan Porphyra species were investigated in response to various environmental variables. Optimal conchocelis growth (7.6%) volume increase d⁻¹) of P. abbottae (Pa) occurred at 11C̊, 80 umol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ and 30ppt salinity. Porphyra torta (Pt) grew best (6.5%d⁻¹) at 15C̊, 80 umol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ and 30ppt. Porphyra pseudolinearis (Pi) generally had higher growth rates with optimal growth (8.8% d⁻¹) occurring at 7C̊, 160 umol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ and 30ppt. Salinities between 20 and 40ppt and irradiances between 20 and 40ppt and irradiances between 20 and 160 umol …

Rural Pregnant And/Or Parenting Teenagers And Their Informal Support Systems, Rhonda Burns

Theses and Graduate Projects

Pregnant and/or parenting teenagers are influenced by education level, socioeconomic status and social support systems. Numerous studies of urban pregnant and/or parenting teenagers have examined the formal support systems and their efficacy. Few researchers have examined rural pregnant and/or parenting teenagers and their informal support systems. This quantitative study surveyed 37 pregnant and/or parenting teenagers receiving case management services through Kandiyohi County Family Services, resulting in 7 respondents. The research questions included:

1. What are the perceptions and of rural Kandiyohi County pregnant and/or parenting teenagers regarding their informal support systems?
2. What are their interpretations of the support being offered?
3. Do …

Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of A Teaching Program On The Care Provided To Jewish Clients, Ilana Cood Withop

Master's Projects

The purpose of this qualitative evaluation study was to determine how an educational program provided to nursing students changed their perceptions of the care they provided to Jewish clients. A teaching program on Jewish beliefs and culture was given to ten baccalaureate nursing students who were providing care to Jewish older adults through one of the university's Academic Nurse Managed Centers. The teaching program was given early in the semester and students were interviewed four and eight weeks later to determine how the teaching program influenced their interactions with clients. Three major themes emerged from the interview data: a) increased …

A Study Examining The Importance Of Early Intervention On Premature Development, Suzanne F. Appleby

Theses and Dissertations

Every year, thousands of babies are born prematurely or at low birth weight. As a result, many of these children are confronted with health and developmental issues. The purpose of this study was to examine the importance of early intervention on premature development. It was hypothesized that premature children, who were initially denied early intervention services, would eventually be in need of services at a later time, and these children would be in need more than full-term children. The present study consisted of a sample of fifty-four children: twenty-seven pre-term and twenty-seven full-term. The subjects were collected from the Child …
