Habitat use and selection by sage grouse broods in southeastern Oregon

Creator:: Drut, Martin S.
Abstract:: In Oregon, sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) were common in the eastern portion of the state. Since 1940 populations declined because of decreased productivity. The western subspecies (C. u. phaios) was listed as a candidate for threatened and endangered status in 1985 because of declines in Oregon and Washington and extirpation...

Palmitylation of vaccinia virus proteins : identification of modification sites and biological relevance

Creator:: Grosenbach, Douglas W.
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus encodes at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through thioester linkage to cysteine residues. This is referred to as palmitylation of proteins. The purpose of this work was to gain an understanding of palmitylation, focusing on what defined...

Bioactive natural products from marine algae

Creator:: Tan, Lik Tong
Abstract:: This thesis is an account of my investigation on the natural products deriving from various marine algae and has resulted in the discovery of thirteen novel bioactive metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these unique molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by careful analyses of 1D and 2D...

The asymmetric binding of Actinomycin D to DNA hexamers

Creator:: Ivancic, Monika
Abstract:: The solution structure determination of DNA molecules has been an important part of structural biology. NMR solution structures are a complement to structures solved via X-ray crystallography; the two methods are the only ways of obtaining three dimensional coordinates of macromolecules. Because of the nature of the molecule, the solution...

Variation in female reproductive success in amphibians

Creator:: Dyal, Leslie A.
Abstract:: My dissertation focuses on the factors that influence variation in female reproductive success in plethodontid salamanders and in toads. Variation in reproductive success fuels evolutionary change. Although, females often have been overlooked in studies of reproductive success due to perceived lower levels of variation when compared to variation in male...

Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake by Enteromorpha prolifera (Mull.) J. Ag.

Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Complex architecture of a closterovirus virion

Creator:: Napuli, Alberto J.
Abstract:: In this investigation we examined the molecular architecture and functions associated with the virion components of the Beet yellows virus (BYV), family Closteroviridae. The BYV virions are filamentous particles composed of two coat proteins, the major coat protein (CP), which encapsidates the majority of the genome, and the minor coat...

Phylogeny and zoogeography of glyptocephalines (Pisces: Pleuronectidae)

Creator:: Chiu, Tai-sheng
Abstract:: Hypotheses of phylogenetic and historical zoogeographic relationships of glyptocephalines (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus, G. zachirus, G. stelleri, Microstomus kitt, H. pacificus, H. achne, Embassichthys bathybius, and Tanakius kitaharae) were constructed based on comparative anatomy and external morphology. The phylogenetic approach was cladistic and character polarity was determined by using out-group comparison. One...

A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Meleason, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...
