Semi-volatile organic compounds and developing organisms : accumulation in California mountain tadpoles in the field and fish embryo exposures in the laboratory

Creator:: Stanley, Kerri A.
Abstract:: The atmospheric transport and deposition of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs), including current and historic use pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to mountain ecosystems may result in the exposure of tadpoles to these SOCs. This exposure has been implicated in amphibian population declines in California. Tadpoles encounter...

Jet stream intraseasonal oscillations drive dominant ecosystem variations in Oregon’s summertime coastal upwelling system

Creator:: Bane, John M., Spitz, Yvette H., Letelier, Ricardo M., and Peterson, William T.
Abstract:: Summertime wind stress along the coast of the northwestern United States typically exhibits intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) with periods from ≈15 to 40 days, as well as fluctuations on the 2- to 6-day “weather-band” and 1-day diurnal time scales. Coastal upwelling of cool, nutrient-rich water is driven by extended periods of...

Foam enhancing properties of hop bitter acids and propylene glycol alginate

Creator:: Kunimune, Takeshi
Abstract:: The following two projects have been carried out to clarify the impact of these foam stabilizers, and to compare their foam stabilizing power to one another as well as the cling ability. The first project investigated the impacts of four commercially available hop- derived foam stabilizers; iso-alpha-acid (Iso), rho(dyhydro)-iso-alpha-acid (Rho),...

Estimating plant-available nitrogen release from manures, composts, and crop residues

Creator:: Gale, Eric S.
Abstract:: In order to properly utilize organic amendments as nitrogen sources, reliable methods to estimate plant-available nitrogen (PAN) are needed. The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the use of crop and soil responses in fertilizer N equivalence (FNE) calculations, (2) examine the relationships between the C/N ratio, total...

Fourier deep level transient spectroscopy and its application to gold in silicon

Creator:: Divekar, Prasad K.
Abstract:: A primarily software based Fourier Deep Level Transient Spectroscope (FDLTS) is built. The raw capacitance transient is acquired and digitized using capacitance meter HP4280A whereas the signal analysis is done using a customized software module. The software module calculates both the conventional DLTS spectrum and the Fourier DLTS spectrum. This...

Contractile function and calpain activity in mouse skeletal muscle during hypoxia

Creator:: Hu, Hui
Abstract:: Calcium activated proteases, or calpains, are activated in cardiac muscles under conditions of ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia. Their activity in skeletal muscle under similar conditions is poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that hypoxia elevates calpain-mediated proteolysis in isolated glycolytic (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) and oxidative (soleus, SOL) mouse muscles studied...

The water and energy dynamics of an old-growth seasonal temperate rainforest

Creator:: Link, Timothy E.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), concern about the impacts of climate and land cover change on water resources, flood-generating processes, and ecosystem dynamics emphasize the need for a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between forest canopies and hydrological processes. A detailed measurement and modeling program during the 1999 and 2000...

Description and prediction of broad-scale spatial variability in expression of anadromy in female Oncorhynchus mykiss in the John Day River, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Mills, Justin S.
Abstract:: Partial migration is a common migratory behavior where some individuals in a population migrate and others do not. Patterns of partial migration can vary dramatically, especially for species that inhabit a wide range of environments. I described and predicted spatial variation in marine migration (anadromy) of female Oncorhynchus mykiss (steelhead...

Influence of previous cattle and elk grazing on the subsequent diet quality and nutrient intake rate of cattle, deer, and elk grazing late-summer mixed-conifer rangelands

Creator:: Damiran, Daalkhaijav
Abstract:: Four studies were conducted on late-summer diet quality and quantity of cattle (Bos taurus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to prior grazing by cattle and elk on mixed-conifer rangelands and on related research techniques. In our first study we assessed a photographic technique to...
