Morphological and functional diversification during kelp evolution
No full textKelps are highly successful ecosystem engineers that substantially increase the productivity of nearshore ecosystems, forming nursery habitat for other species. Despite the importance of kelps to the modern ecology of temperate ecosystems, we have a limited understanding of their evolutionary relationships, the diversification dynamics that led to their modern distributions, and the factors that determine where they are found in nature. In this dissertation, I quantitatively explore how distributions and modern ecological strategies have arisen through kelp evolution. I utilize phylogenomic approaches to determine the evolutionary relationships between kelp species and the timing of their diversification, elucidating many previously unknown phylogenetic relationships between kelps (Ch. 2). I then investigate the strategies that kelps use to survive on wave-swept shores and test for trade-offs that may have constrained their broad range of morphological variation. I use flow tank experiments and field mechanical testing to investigate how external forces from the environment interact with morphology. I show that kelps with high mechanical support also experience greater environmental forces than weaker, more streamlined species, consistent with well known trade-offs of stress resistance in other organisms (Ch. 3). I also investigate the interspecific scaling of biomass allocation in organs of kelp that are analogous to those of land plants and showed that there are shared features of how size influences morphology in both groups (Ch. 4). Lastly, I combine trait and phylogenetic information to explore patterns of trait evolution and determine how species that specialize in different environments are distributed across the phylogeny. I assess whether phylogenetic relatedness or trait differences explain the assembly of kelp communities and demonstrate that kelp communities are composed of distantly related species that have converged on similar traits (Ch. 5). Taken together, these studies offer a multifaceted perspective on the morphological and ecological diversification of kelps and demonstrate that ecological strategies are convergent among phylogenetically divergent lineages.Science, Faculty ofBotany, Department ofGraduat

імунодефіциту людини чи іншої невиліковної інфекційної хвороби. Досліджується питання щодо
невдалого визначення законодавцем збудників інфекційних хвороб у назві та диспозиції статті,
обґрунтовується положення про те, що злочин, передбачений ч. 1 та ч. 2 ст. 130 Кримінального
кодексу України може бути вчинено не лише шляхом дії, а й бездіяльності. Розглядається дискусійне
питання щодо моменту закінчення злочину у формі зараження, виявлено недоліки щодо визначення
суб’єкта злочину. Сформульовано пропозиції щодо удосконалення законодавства та практики
застосування. The article is devoted to the problem of criminal responsibility for the infecting others with human
immunodeficiency virus and other incurable infectious diseases. The author argues the issue of inappropriate
use in the dispositions of the Code article wording, which implies exclusively viral origin of infectious
diseases. The emphasis is laid on the content characteristics of the «incurable infectious diseases». The
article considers the matters concerning the forms of infecting, substantiates the conclusion that endangering
infection and infecting can be committed either by action or inaction or negligence. The study sheds light on
the debatable issue of crime completion moment, as well as the issue of the subject of a crime. The author
suggests ways to improve the criminal law and its practical application with a view to greater efficiency of
criminal justice response in the field of combatingcriminal proliferation of human immunodeficiency virus

Experiential learning and student creativity in a Chinese language class
No full textThis capstone project examined student reaction to experiential teaching strategies in a beginning Chinese lesson and its impact on student creativity. The author became interested in experiential learning and creativity and the possible connection between the two after coming to the United States (U.S.) to teach and study. While in the U.S. she was able to experience the differences between education and teaching methods in the two countries. She found possible links between experiential learning and creativity in the works of Starko (1995), Croply (1992 and 2001), and Beard and Wilson (2002). To conduct this study, the author interviewed two students from China, a Chinese professor and did observations in the author\u27s beginning Chinese language classes at an international high school. The finding of the study was that experiential learning teaching strategies did increase students\u27 motivation, questioning, independent learning, connections between their prior experiences and the new tasks and improved class atmosphere
