A Comparison of Microbial Hydrocarbon Degraders Based On the Source of the Contaminant in Alaska
Gilbert, Andrew (1999-04-01)The overall objective of this study was to compare microbial hydrocarbon degraders based on their source of contaminant. The research involved enrichment of a single bacterial isolate from each of five hydrocarbon-contaminated ... -
A Cytogenetic Study of Chromosomal Diversity of Simulium arcticum at Ten-mile Creek, Lewis and Clark County, MT
O’Keefe, Kevin (2003-04-01)Preliminary studies by Rhodes (2001) indicate that the IIL-3 and IIL-7 sibling species of the black fly, S. arcticum, occur at Little Prickly Pear Creek (LPPC), Lewis and Clark County, Montana. The occurrence and chromosomal ... -
Application of ICP-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy to assessment of wetland sediments in the Montana counties of Lewis and Clark, Jefferson, Powell, and Broadwater: The influence of heavy metals on amphibian breeding activity.
Vannatta, Michael (2002-04-01)This study utilized ICP Atomic Emission Spectroscopy to assess heavy metal content in wetland sediments. Sixteen different sites, grouped into four categories, were sampled during the study. Sediment was filtered with a ... -
Association of Wetland Area with Breeding Activity for Multiple Amphibian Species
Laselle, Brooks (2000-04-01)The populations of many amphibian species appear to be in decline. The loss of amphibians contributes to the overall loss of biodiversity that is occurring on a global scale. Amphibians are well-known bioindicators and can ... -
Biochemical Analysis of Insect Camouflage in Manduca sexta, the Tobacco Hornworm
Semmens, Kevin (2012-04-01)Manduca sexta (Tobacco Hornworm) larvae exhibit diet-induced adaptation, demonstrating green coloration in their natural environment but becoming a pale blue when placed on a lab diet lacking plant material. I hypothesized ... -
Cloning Of The Allene Oxide Systhase Gene From Tomato
Hubley, Kathleen (1997-04-01)A tomato mutant called JL5 is defective in the wound signaling cascade leading to defense against insects. A deficiency in allene oxide synthase (AOS), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid, has been ... -
Creating Natural Landscapes With Fractal Geometry
King, Rogie (2003-04-01)Video games are an integral pastime of current youths. Initially, popular video games were created in a two-dimensional scene. As the field of computer technology has advanced, the ability to create realistic three-dimensional ... -
Football in Flight: A study of the math and physics of the trajectory of a kicked football
Swenson, Ryan (2013-04-01)Three seconds left, down by two, one player will determine the outcome of the big game; one player will make or break his team’s Super Bowl dream. The kicking game associated with the sport of American football is a crucially ... -
Hip-Hop: A Call and Response to God’s Self-Communication
Perez, Mark (2010-04-01)“How is it that something that has no definitive theological intent”, underground hip-hop “being our prime example, provides such a spiritual encounter, and how then can we dare say that one might experience a connection ... -
Home Range Of The Florida Scrub Lizard (Sceloporus woodi)
Hoffman, Thomas (1998-04-01)I studied the effects of gender and habitat patch size * on the home range of the Florida Scrub Lizard (Sceloporus woodi) for a period of three months during the summer of 1997. Scrub Lizards were trapped using 5-gallon ... -
Impact of Stream Corridors on Breeding Populations of Rana luteiventris
Bartoletti, Fredrick (2000-04-01)The biodiversity on Earth is in a state of decline. Because the full extent of the problem is not known, model systems are needed as environmental indicators. Amphibians are considered good indicators of wetland ecosystems. ... -
Incidence Modeling and Protocol for the Detection of Dirofilaria immitis in Montana
Dougherty, Ryne (2011-04-01)Heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, is a parasite that infects dogs (Thanchomnang et al., 2010), coyotes (Sacks et al., 2002), cats (Liu et al., 2005), and humans (Oleaga et al., 2009). D. immitus is transmitted from dog to ... -
Mathematics Education and Multiple Intelligences
Brownlee, Bethany (2007-04-01)This thesis explores the utilization of Multiple Intelligences in the mathematics classroom. There are eight distinct multiple intelligences found in students. Each intelligence is unique and every student has a blend of ... -
Organic Superconductors: Synthesis Of The Organic Compound PPNSeCN (Bis-triphenylphosphine-iminium Selenocyanide)
Brown, Robert (1984-04-01)The bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium salt (PPNSeCN) was synthesized from PPNC1, KCN and Se. This salt was then grown electrochemic; lly with the organic molecule TMTSF. The anion chosen was also selected for its unit cell ... -
Risk mapping of bluetongue virus in Montana using habitat suitability for Culicoides vectors
Edminster, Pete (2010-04-01)Bluetongue disease, first reported in the United States in 1952, affects cattle, sheep, and other wild and domesticated ruminants. Globally, the biting midge (order Diptera, family Ceratopogonidae, genus Culicoides) has ... -
Seasonal Variation in Morphology of the Freshwater Sponge, Clypeatula cooperensis
Edminster, Joel (2000-04-01)Unlike other freshwater sponges in the northern Rocky Mountains, Clypeatula cooperensis does not die back during the winter months but instead maintains its structure through the winter, although in an altered form. In ... -
