Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...

Creator:: Lee, Jae-Hyuk
Abstract:: This research focused on the enhanced reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) and its surrogate, trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE), using two bioremediation methods in anaerobic conditions. Two anaerobic bioremediation studies were conducted to investigate the effects of microbial communities in the presence of different electron acceptors and donors during anaerobic reductive dechlorination of...

Creator:: Hoefnagels, Mariëlle Henriette, 1965-
Abstract:: Fusarium spp. are among the most important pathogens of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings in bareroot nurseries. Currently the most effective disease control method is soil fumigation with methyl bromide. As methyl bromide is phased out, however, other disease management strategies may become more important. We explored two alternative approaches to...

Creator:: Pon, George
Abstract:: Laboratory and modeling studies were performed with a mixed-anaerobic-culture obtained from the Evanite site in Corvallis, Oregon. The culture completely transforms trichloroethene (TCE) to cis-dichloroethene (c-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and finally to ethene. Acetylene inhibition studies were used to examine the culture's microbial activities. Kinetic studies determined the half-saturated constant...

Creator:: Fernando, W. Gerard Dilantha
Abstract:: Phytophthora vignae, causal agent of stem and root rot of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), was reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The pathogen was found in cowpea field soils from 3 of 5 geographic regions sampled. Only one site however, had plants exhibiting disease symptoms. Of the eight cowpea...

Creator:: Michalsen, Mandy M.
Abstract:: Metal and hydrogen ion acidity and extreme nitrate concentrations typical of Department of Energy (DOE) legacy waste sites pose formidable challenges to successful implementation of in situ bio-immobilization. Intermediate-scale (~ 2.5 m), flow through models of an in situ bio-barrier were constructed to investigate U and Tc removal from groundwater...
