Spatial models of Hawaiian streams and Hawaiian stream fish habital
A series of spatially based models of Hawaiian streams and stream fish habitats were developed to aid in the conservation of native fishes. The spatial models focused on the quantification of habitat for native fishes at three levels within a spatial hierarchy. First, at the reach level, the models …

Problems of Hawaiian adolescence
<p>A discussion of problems of Hawaiian adolescence must necessarily be a broad study. This thesis offers a comprehensive view of the life of the Hawaiian child and the factors that influence him, but it does not go extensively into the biological phases. The limits of this study embrace rather a …

Geochemical heterogeneity in the Hawaiian plume : constraints from Hawaiian volcanoes and Emperor seamounts
… In this research, geochemical data on the Hawaiian-Emperor lavas are used to evaluate the plume hypothesis. There are important geochemical similarities among lavas from the Hawaii-Emperor Chain, such as high Ba/Th (>100), high ³He/⁴He (>10 R/R-A) and enrichment in incompatible elements. …

Thermobarometry of Hawaiian Spinel Peridotites
… data on high purity olivine separates from Hawaiian peridotites obtained by standard addition HR-ICP-MS to determine the depth at which these peridotites last equilibrated, and test the depth vs. depletion hypothesis. Together with new olivine major and trace element data, combined with …

Hawaiian Quilt Art: Continuity and Change
<p>This thesis examines Hawaiian quilt art from its earliest Polynesian <em>kappa moe</em> (barkcloth) to modern contemporary quilts. Hawaiian Fiber Arts, patchwork quilts, traditional appliqued quilts, flag quilts, contemporary quilts, and contemporary/sashiko quilts are presented. The time period …

A study of the Hawaiian statehood movement
A study of the development of the issues in the Hawaiian statehood controversy reveals the paradoxical fact that, while Americans were promoting the mutual interest of Hawaii and the United States, they were also developing a social, economic, and political atmosphere that has resulted in forces …

Biogeography and phylogenetics of Hawaiian bark lice
… mid- and high-elevation forests of the six main Hawaiian Islands. To investigate the diversity, distribution, and evolutionary history of the group, I used morphological characters of the male genitalia, wings, and head, and DNA sequences of the nuclear gene wingless and mitochondrial genes 12S, …

Soundscape Ecology of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin Resting Bays
<p>Sound is a key sensory modality for Hawaiian spinner dolphins. Like many other marine animals, these dolphins rely on sound and their acoustic environment for many aspects of their daily lives, making it is essential to understand soundscape in areas that are critical to their survival. Hawaiian …

Dispossession and defiance: Kalaupapa patients, Hale Mohalu, and Hawaiian resistance
… in the larger context of more than a century of Hawaiian resistance against injustice. Native Hawaiians defied the colonial, paternalistic attitude of the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health in a standoff for self-determination at Hale Mohalu, the residential leprosy facility in Pearl City, …

Neon, Helium and Argon isotope systematics of the Hawaiian hotspot
… (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) of lavas from several Hawaiian volcanoes. Lavas from the Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project (HSDP) core, surface samples from Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Kilauea, Hualalai, Kohala and Haleakala as well as lavas from a deep well on the summit of Kilauea were investigated. Noble …

Characterizing the Innate Immunity in the Hawaiian Coral Montipora capitata
Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems in the world; however, they are quickly diminishing due to natural and anthropogenic stressors, including disease. Corals possess innate immune responses that aid in protection against these stressors. In several coral species, immune responses are …

Comparative Genomics Insights into Speciation and Evolution of Hawaiian Drosophila
… always been of great interest to biologists. The Hawaiian archipelago provides a natural arena for understanding adaptive radiation and speciation, and genomics and bioinformatics offer new approaches for studying these fundamental processes. The mode of speciation should have profound impacts on …

Evaluation of GSSHA for Simulating Sediment Concentrations in Steep Hawaiian Watersheds
… models, when simulating processes in steep Hawaiian watersheds, which can be very dissimilar to lands (or field plot experiments) where the empirical relationships were developed. GSSHA, therefore, could potentially be a valuable tool for hydrology projects in Hawaii, but is seldom used in …
