Tax and budget policy in Oregon : a computable general equilibrium perspectives

Creator:: Waters, Edward C
Abstract:: In November 1990, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 5, placing an ultimate ceiling on local property tax rates of 1.5% of market value (excluding specific levies for capital expenditure). Any resulting shortfalls in local education revenues are to be made up by transfers from state funds, at the expense of...

Cardiac output and respiratory measurements in the rainbow trout and their application to the study of blood and water flow limitations on chemical flux at the gill

Creator:: Schmieder, Patricia K. (Patricia Kathleen)
Abstract:: A method has been developed for the continuous automated monitoring of cardiac output in adult rainbow trout. Average cardiac output measured under control conditions and varied environmental conditions of hypoxia and post-hypoxia was significantly higher (P≤ 0.05) in male than female trout. The cardiac output of trout in spawning condition...

Sublethal effects of estuarine carbaryl applications on juvenile English sole (Pleuronectes vetulus)

Creator:: Pozarycki, Scott V.
Abstract:: The pesticide carbaryl is applied annually to tidelands in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor, WA to control populations of burrowing shrimp which modify sediments making the habitat unsuitable for oyster culture. Fish trapped on sprayed mudflats are often killed, but little is known about effects on fish present in subtidal...

Biotic and abiotic factors influencing the bioavailability of sediment-associated phenanthrene to marine amphipods

Creator:: Fuji, Takashi, 1961-
Abstract:: The "equilibrium partitioning theory" is one of the most widely used models to evaluate the bioavailability of sediment-associated, nonpolar, organic contaminants and it makes specific assumptions regarding the factors that influence this bioavailability. The objective of this research was to test two assumptions of this theory: (1) that benthic organisms...

Algal community structure and organization in high intertidal rockpools

Creator:: van Tamelen, Peter G.
Abstract:: Gradients of physical disturbance are central to theories of community organization yet rarely are studies performed in which physical factors are experimentally manipulated. Pothole tidepool algal communities exhibit distinct zonation patterns from top to bottom that result from scouring by rocks and other debris in the pools. Scouring is easily...

Bottom-up and top-down forces in tidepools : the influence of nutrients, herbivores, and wave exposure on community structure

Creator:: Nielsen, Karina Johanna
Abstract:: The relationship between nutrients and community structure is poorly understood in open-coast habitats. I created a system of artificial tidepools, of identical age and physical dimensions, at two sites that differed in wave exposure, and manipulated nutrient levels and the abundance of herbivores. Using these unique field mesocosms, I explored...

The effects of biomechanical and ecological factors on population and community structure of wave-exposed, intertidal macroalgae

Creator:: Blanchette, Carol A.
Abstract:: I examined the biomechanical factors that influence the sizes of intertidal macroalgae by studying a population of Fucus gardneri at Fogarty Creek Point, OR. I constructed a mathematical model to predict optimal sizes and probabilities of survival for Fucus under conditions of high and low wave exposure. Predicted optimal sizes...

Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:: Sanford, Eric (Eric David)
Abstract:: The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...
