In spring of 1993 and 1994, mature 'Marion' (Rubus sp.) plants were pruned to 0, 4, 8, and 12 floricanes. An additional treatment of 0 floricanes with early (30 cm) primocane pruning was included. Primocane growth was measured from emergence in April until growth cessation at the end of October....
In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, which has been utilized to measure nearshore bathymetry at selected sites along the coasts of North...

Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Pathogenic agrobacteria residing within the vascular system are able to initiate tumor growth in damaged plant cells. Sampling from 21 sites in Oregon vineyards and nurseries yielded diverse populations of pathogenic agrobacteria. Most of the pathogenic...
Agrobacterium vitis is a bacterium that causes crown gall in grapevines. Plant injury from freezing temperatures or mechanical damage during cultivation often provide wounds required for infection to occur. Crown gall may kill grapevines and a new shoot is often brought up from the root to replace dead vines. Discovery...
In September of 1989, the site of an active seafloor methane vent was confirmed
approximately 20 km off the coast of Oregon in shelf waters 135 m deep. The location of
the vent had been described to Oregon State University oceanographers by a local
commercial fisherman. Preliminary observations in 1989...
