  • Atropisomeric 8,8'-biquinolyl derivatives : synthesis, properties and applications

    Creator:
    Milicevic, Selena D.
    Abstract:
    7,7'-Dihydroxy-8,8'-biquinolyl (azaBINOL) was prepared from 7-hydroxyquinoline via N,N-dimethyl O-quinol-7-yl carbamate by directed ortho-metallation followed by FeCl₃-mediated oxidative coupling of the 8-lithioquinoline intermediate. Saponification of the resulting dicarbamate provided crystalline (±)-azaBINOL in 56% overall yield. 6,6'-Bis(dimethylaminocarbonyl)-7,7'-dihydroxy-8,8´-biquinolyl was prepared from the same dicarbamate by a double anionic-Fries rearrangement in 43% yield. 7,7'-Bis(diethylamino-carbonyloxy)-6,6'-diiodo-8,8´-biquinolyl...

  • Trophic dynamics of marine nekton and zooplankton in the Northern California Current ecosystem

    Creator:
    Miller, Todd William
    Abstract:
    The Northern California Current (NCC) ecosystem exhibits extreme seasonal, interannual and interdecadal shifts in the abiotic environment and shifts in primary and higher production. This variability is also apparent in the spatial structure of the ecosystem with nearshore-shelf waters (<150 m isobath) being highly productive and having a different community...

  • The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

    Creator:
    Im, Eun Ho
    Abstract:
    This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities. A carbon tax program, as a mitigation option for...

  • Conservation of arthropod natural enemies in broccoli with relay strip-cropping

    Creator:
    McGrath, Daniel M. (Daniel Morton)
    Abstract:
    Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...

  • A cross cultural examination of factors influencing exercise during pregnancy

    Creator:
    Nevarez, Holly Clements
    Abstract:
    Overweight and obesity are a growing national concern, particularly among women and selected minority populations (Ayala, Elder, Campbell, Slymen, Roy, Engelberg, et al., 2004; NHANES, 2003). Pregnant women bear a disproportionate risk of becoming overweight or obese (Greene, Smickikias-Wright, Scholl, & Karp, 1988; Gunderson et al., 2000; Rossner, 1999). Although...

    Abstract:
    This dissertation looks at one landscape component of the Coquille Indian Tribe's ancestral lands in order to understand the place meaning created and assigned to Euphoria Ridge, Oregon. I focus on three cultural overlays across time that together with the unique biophysical components, generate an importance for the locale to...

  • Use of nondestructive spectroscopy to assess chlorophyll and nitrogen in fresh leaves

    Creator:
    Ding, Pinghai
    Abstract:
    Four aspects of factors influencing the accuracy of nondestructive chlorophyll (Chl) and nitrogen (N) measurement in fresh leaves were studied: (1) optimum wavelength (OW) identification; (2) indices development and evaluation; (3) influence of leaf properties; and (4) influence of meter parameters and sampling technique. Results were used to develop indices...

    Sandrock, David Ray, 1971-
    Abstract:
    Lasting, effective solutions to nitrogen (N) loss from container nurseries must address layers of complexity ranging in scale from whole system nursery management to gene expression. Group-based On-site Active Learning (GOAL) was developed to aid nursery managers and related stakeholders (e.g. neighbors, policy makers, regulating agencies, researchers) in developing a...

    Abstract:
    Annual applications of fresh or composted dairy manure were assessed for their effects on root rots of sweet corn and snap bean and damping-off of cucumber in a field soil. Soil biological and physical properties were measured as possible indicators of root rot suppressive potential. Regardless of amendment type or...
