β-lactoglubin adsorption equilibrium and kinetics at silanized silica surfaces

Creator:: Krisdhasima, Viwat
Abstract:: The adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior exhibited by β-lactoglobulin at silanized silicon surfaces of varying hydrophobicity were examined using ellipsometry. Adsorption equilibrium results were used to construct adsorption isotherms; the adsorbed mass of β-lactoglobulin was observed to increase with increasing surface hydrophobicity, within a defined range of hydrophobicity. Adsorption kinetics...

Zeatin O-xylosyltransferase in Phaseolus vulgaris : immunological and molecular analyses

Creator:: Martin, Ruth C.
Abstract:: Cytokinins are a group of plant hormones mediating cell division and differentiation. Zeatin is a naturally occurring and highly active cytokinin that is rapidly metabolized in Phaseolus seeds. The metabolites and enzymes mediating the conversion have been studied extensively. Zeatin metabolic enzymes may be utilized in studying the regulation of...

Young stand thinning in Western Oregon : cost comparison of harvesting alternatives and comparison of time study techniques

Creator:: Hossain, Mohammad Mozaffar
Abstract:: Harvesting costs were determined for commercial thinning of young stands to achieve vegetation and wildlife objectives. This included replicated comparisons of thinning treatments. Treatments were defined based on residual tree stocking after thinning. Study procedures were developed and evaluated to improve statistical relevance. Multiple linear regression models were used to...

Xylem cavitation in newly planted western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) seedlings

Creator:: Kavanagh, Kathleen L., 1955-
Abstract:: Reforestation of Pacific Northwest forest-lands with western hemlock has been hindered by unexplained plantation failures. The purpose of this thesis is to provide information that will help in determining the cause of seedling damage and mortality. The studies focused on the relationship between xylem water potential, xylem cavitation and the...

Wood quality studies in second-growth western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn.)

Creator:: DeBell, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn.) is a valuable commercial species found in the northwestern United States and southwestern Canada. This dissertation includes four papers focused on wood and stem characteristics of second-growth western redcedar, and how those characteristics vary within the stem or how they are influenced by cultural practices....

Women's perceptions of their children's experiences in domestic violence

Creator:: Wood, Barbara L.
Abstract:: Ten female survivors of physically assaultive domestic violence were interviewed three times each in a feminist, qualitative study designed to access their perceptions about their children's experiences in domestic violence. All participants had children living with them at the time of the abuse and were one to five years out...

Women's feelings about the work-family interface of long-haul truck drivers : six days on the road and he's gonna be home tonight

Creator:: Moon, Susan F.
Abstract:: Long-haul truck drivers are absent from their families for prolonged periods of time. This paper examines the methods trucking families use to remain connected given such absences. Interviews with ten women married to long-haul truck drivers underwent qualitative analysis. Initially, personal profiles were developed to illustrate life experiences of the...

Women's alcohol consumption : personal, familial, and geopolitical dimensions

Creator:: Goetz, Kathryn W.
Abstract:: A sample of 1,003 women, age 22 in 1983-84 and age 27 in 1988-89, were selected from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Personal, familial, and geopolitical predictors of alcohol consumption were evaluated at each time period and longitudinally. The study integrated macro- and micro-level influences to determine their influence...

Whole farm case studies : a how-to guide

Creator:: Murray, Helene
Abstract:: Calls for increased farmer involvement in research and extension programs have been numerous and well supported. One approach to integrate the collective knowledge and experience of agricultural scientists and farmers is through whole farm case studies (WFCS). An interdisciplinary team of 34 research and extension personnel at Oregon and Washington...

Who's in place, who's out of place : examining the politics of natural resource collaboration

Creator:: Cheng, Antony S.
Abstract:: A qualitative research approach composed of three strategies was employed to systematically examine the politics of natural resource collaboration. First, using the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds as a case study, the behavioral assumptions of natural resource policy instruments enabling collaboration were uncovered and analyzed. Three key assumptions emerge:...
