Bacterioplankton in the Oregon upwelling system: distribution, cell-specific leucine incorporation, and diversity

Creator:: Longnecker, Krista
Abstract:: Marine bacterioplankton play an important role in global elemental cycles because they return carbon dioxide and nutrients to the biosphere as they reduce organic matter. Furthermore, marine bacterioplankton are not uniformly active, and subpopulations of the in situ community may be more or less active at any given time. Defining...

Relationships among individuals’ personality, self esteem, age, perceived social support, appearance schema, appearance appraisal and, body image coping Strategies

Creator:: Reddy Linga, Shweta
Abstract:: This study investigated the relationships among the individual’s chronological age, personality, perceived social support, appearance schema, appearance appraisal and the resultant coping strategies to overcome body dissatisfaction. Thirty four hypotheses were developed to meet the objectives of this study. The objectives were achieved by conducting two studies. Each of the...

The development and characterization of miniature spectrometers for measuring the redox status of environmental samples

Creator:: Cantrell, Kevin
Abstract:: A spectrometer, here denoted a Simple, Low-power, Inexpensive. Microcontroller-based or SLIM spectrometer. was developed that exploits the small size and low cost of solid-state electronic devices. This approach results in customizable spectrometers that are considerably less expensive and smaller than traditional instrumentation. The performance of the SLIM spectrometer was evaluated...

Chemical cues and the molecular basis of olfactory chemoreception in caudate amphibians

Creator:: Kiemnec, Karen M.
Abstract:: Chemoreception is one of the dominant sensory modalities for many species of salamanders (reviewed in Chapter 2). At least seven of the ten currently recognized salamander families are known to respond to some sort of chemical cue. These responses are as varied as delaying hatching, seeking refuge, or initiating aggressive...

The effects of mechanical damage on residual coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirbel] Franco) following commercial thinning

Creator:: Kiser, James D.
Abstract:: Commercial thinning operations can result in damage to residual stems. A literature review revealed that little was known about the effects of residual logging wounds with regard to rotation-age commercial conifers, particularly Douglas-fir. An experiment to examine fungal colonization of Douglas-fir following logging damage showed that while damage was significant...

Use of BC-523a liquid scintillator for simultaneous neutron spectroscopy and gamma counting with the implementation of a neutron history reconstruction algorithm

Creator:: Frey, Wesley D.
Abstract:: Real-time, high efficiency neutron spectroscopy has, historically, been a persistent challenge in the field of radiation detection and, for the most part, has gone unsolved. The most promising method to resolve this challenge, is the boron-capture technique using an organic scintillation system (BC-523a). Detectors that utilize this method possess an...

Fashion media's role in the debate on millinery and bird protection in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries

Creator:: Scarborough, Amy D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore the possible relationship among fashion media, the social responsibility agenda of the Audubon Society, and the use of birds in millinery in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Both the content analysis method and the historic method were used to gain...

Diffuse deformation patterns along the North American plate boundary zone, offshore western United States

Creator:: Chaytor, Jason D.
Abstract:: Plate boundaries are commonly regions of complex, diffuse deformation with the motion across the boundary accommodated by numerous structural systems, rather than being narrow, discrete zones of deformation. One such boundary occurs where the North American plate makes contact with Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Pacific plates along the west...

Nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics during decomposition of multiple litter types in temperate coniferous forests

Creator:: van Huysen, Tiffany L.
Abstract:: Litter nutrient dynamics contribute significantly to biogeochemical cycling in forest ecosystems. These dynamics may be influenced by site attributes, litter nutrient concentrations, and soil nutrient availability either independently or synergistically. Litter nutrient dynamics were examined in two decomposition studies in temperate coniferous forests of Oregon. I used ¹⁵N-labelled litter of...

Public investment policy and industry incentives in life science research

Creator:: Wang, Chenggang
Abstract:: The biorevolution in the 1970’s greatly stimulated investment in life-science research. The present dissertation is aimed at evaluating the impact of US public investment on industrial investment in life-science research. The focus is on three major life-science fields: biology, medicine, and agriculture. A dynamic model of industrial R&D investment is...
