  • Xylem discontinuity in Vitis vinifera L. berries

    Creator:
    Creasy, Glen L.
    Abstract:
    Several effects of xylem discontinuity in Pinot noir and Merlot grape berries were studied. There was a reduction in the amount of apoplastic dye (Eosin Y or azosulfamide) uptake through cut pedicels into soft versus firm berries, suggesting a reduction in maximal xylem flow at that time. Both greenhouse and...

  • Working relations and marketing channels in the seafood industry: a multi-sector analysis

    Creator:
    Anderson, Finlay
    Abstract:
    With indications that fisheries production has plateued at a global capacity of 85 million metric tons in the 1990's, further exploitation of marine stocks on a sustainable basis is unrealistic. Economic development of coastal and regional economies will benefit from new approaches to maximizing benefits from harvested products that include...

  • Winter cover cropping effects on integrative biological indicators of soil quality

    Creator:
    Ndiaye, Evelyne L.
    Abstract:
    Responses of biological indicators of soil quality to winter cover cropping were measured on soil samples collected from 6 commercial growers' fields and two experiment research stations in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The research stations were the North Willamette Research and Extension Center (Aurora, OR), and the Oregon State...

  • What you see is what you test : a testing methodology for form-based visual programs

    Creator:
    Li, Lixin, 1966-
    Abstract:
    Visual programming languages employ visual representation to make programming easier and make programs more reliable and more accessible. Visual program testing becomes increasingly important as more and more visual programming languages and visual programming environments come into real use. In this work, we focus on one important class of visual...

  • Western juniper encroachment into aspen communities in the Northwest Great Basin

    Creator:
    Wall, Travis G.
    Abstract:
    In the Northwest Great Basin, aspen (Populus tremuloides) communities uniquely contribute to the biodiversity of a semi-arid, sagebrush-dominated landscape. In this same region, western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) is encroaching into aspen stands. This study determined the timing, extent, and some of the effects of this expansion. Aspen stands below 2,133...

  • Wavelet analysis as a signal processing method for multiresolution signal decomposition in natural resources applications

    Creator:
    Tu, De Yun
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to apply the wavelet transform WT to multiresolution structures for analyzing the information content of images based on multiresolution signal decomposition of the wavelet representation. The advantage of the wavelet transform is the fact that it uses different building blocks than the Fourier's sines...

    Britch, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Studies are currently underway to determine the suitability of Yucca Mountain in Nevada as the nation's first high-level nuclear waste repository. Values of net infiltration are required to determine pre-waste emplacement groundwater travel times and the performance of the repository as a waste containment system. The objective of this study...

    Creator:
    Crabtree, Kristine L.
    Abstract:
    Population size of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus in potato cv Russet Burbank and plant response as affected by drought were assessed in a greenhouse experiment. Water deficit stress and no stress treatments, and inoculum densities of 0 or 2 X 10⁷ cfu C. m. sepedonicus/seed piece were arranged factorially. Stem...
