Methanolic extracts of the dormant Douglas-fir shoots (buds, leaves, and stems) were fractionated by solvent partitioning (sodium bicarbonate-diethyl ether). The acidic portion of the extract was subjected to column (Sephadex LH-2O, Silica Gel and Polyvinylpyrrolidone), preparative thick-layer and gas-liquid chromatography.
Fractions collected from chromatographic separations were collected and tested for...
The research examines the reasons for and value of both deliberate
and amorphous mutual-aid societies that influenced the life
and success of an individual who lived in seventeenth-century Edinburgh,
Scotland, and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Information is
developed to allow a contextual comparison of life in both areas.
The mutual-aid...
Bacterial blight (Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina) (Xac) of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) was described first in Oregon in 1915 and is now recognized as a damaging disease of young hazelnut trees worldwide. Stressed hazelnut trees in conditions such as planting on marginal sites, and trees between 1 and 4-years-old are...
Juvenile coho salmon (101-400 mm) were sampled by
purse seine off the Pacific Coast from Waatch Point,
Washington to Four Mile Creek, Oregon, out to 30 mi
offshore, during the months of May, June, and September in
1982 and 1983. Sea surface temperature, surface salinity,
surface chlorophyll-a concentration, and Secchi...
This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...
An enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-cyclo-hexene-1-one and azomethine ylide generated in situ from isatin and amino ester was developed by employing proline sulfonamide as the catalyst. Consequently, novel polycyclic spirooxindole scaffolds with three contiguous stereocenters were prepared in high yield (up to 95%) with excellent diastereo- (> 20:1 dr) and...
