Agricultural cooperatives and their international business arrangements

Creator:: Henderson, Erin Michael
Abstract:: World food markets are becoming increasingly interconnected as firms seek to sell their products not only in domestic markets but in international ones as well. Moreover, processed and high-value consumer-oriented products represent an increasing share of total agricultural exports. This growing international market may have implications for the future competitiveness...

How environmental regulations affect productivity of U.S. and Mexican primary iron & steel and aluminum industries

Creator:: Hackenbruck, Satenik
Abstract:: Many economists believe that the slowdown of the productivity growth rates in the U.S. economy in early 1970's was a consequence of the increased level of environmental regulations. The main reason presented in support of this argument is that increased environmental regulations impose an additional burden to the firms, thus...

Seasonal hydrology explains interannual and seasonal variation in carbon and water exchange in a semiarid mature ponderosa pine forest in central Oregon

Creator:: Thomas, Christoph, Law, Beverly E., Irvine, James, Martin, Jonathan, Pettijohn, J. Cory, and Davis, Kent J.
Abstract:: We analyzed 7 years (2002–2008) of micrometeorological and concurrent biological observations of carbon and water fluxes at a mature ponderosa pine forest in central Oregon in a semiarid climate. We sought to evaluate the extent that gross primary productivity, net ecosystem exchange, ecosystem respiration, net primary productivity, net ecosystem productivity,...

Essays on market imperfection

Creator:: Sohn, Saeyoon
Abstract:: This dissertation addresses two topics on market imperfections. First, chapter 2 presents a theoretical model that focuses on problems associated with informational asymmetry. The model presents a dynamic signaling game between a monopolist manufacturer and a monopolist retailer, where demand is uncertain and only the retailer is privately informed. This...

Uncertainties in, and interpretation of, carbon flux estimates using the eddy covariance technique

Creator:: Loescher, H. W., Law, B. E., Mahrt, Larry, Hollinger, D. Y., Campbell, J., and Wofsy, S. C.
Abstract:: Whole ecosystem carbon dioxide (CO₂) exchange estimated with the eddy covariance (EC) technique has been central to studies on the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to disturbance and intra‐annual and interannual variations in climate, but challenges exist in understanding and reducing the uncertainty in estimates of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of...

Can carbon isotopes be used to predict watershed-scale transpiration?

Creator:: Pypker, T. G., Barnard, H. R., Hauck, M., Sulzman, E. W., Unsworth, Michael H., Mix, Alan C., Kennedy, A. M., and Bond, B. J.
Abstract:: The Penman‐Monteith equation is often used to estimate transpiration, but an important limitation to this approach, especially for mountainous forested sites, is an accurate estimate of canopy conductance averaged over the area of interest (Gs). We propose a method for estimating watershed‐scale transpiration using estimates of Gs derived from measurements...

Active site studies and design of ligands for affinity column separation of 2,5-dihydroxyacetanilide epoxidase (DHAE) I and II

Creator:: Allen, Scott E.
Abstract:: A series of compounds, 7-8 and 20-25, were tested as competitive inhibitors of 2,5-dihydroxyacetanilide epoxidase I (DHAE I) and DHAE II. A Hammett plot was constructed for each enzyme to determine the effect of electron density on inhibition. DHAE I gave a linear, highly correlated plot (r²=0.91) that signifies the...

Carbon storage in a Pacific Northwest conifer forest ecosystem : a chronosequence approach

Creator:: Janisch, Jack E.
Abstract:: As concern over global warming intensifies, sequestration and storage of atmospheric CO2 has become an important scientific and policy issue. Confusion persists, however, over interpretation of forest carbon (C) source-sink dynamics, in part because conclusions drawn depend on temporal and spatial scales of analysis (e.g. day-week scale vs. successional-scale), type...

An evaluation of community pharmacists applying the patient centered care approach to ambulatory Oregon Health Plan asthmatics in a Managed Care setting

Creator:: Crowder, Terry J.
Abstract:: Purpose: The Purpose of this research was to design, implement and evaluate a patient centered asthma intervention pilot program directed by physicians and administered by community pharmacists to a group of Managed Care contracted Oregon Health Plan asthmatics. The evaluation was to determine if the proposed intervention could improve the...
