The Oregon Coastal Subprovince, a new biogeographic subprovince for primary freshwater fishes in Oregon

Creator:: Kettratad, Jes
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest has a relatively low diversity of primary freshwater fishes with most of the endemism and diversity in the Columbia River and Klamath River. However, the Oregon Coastal Subprovince defined as the coastal rivers from Miami River in the north to Sixes River in the south, has a...

Species identification of Klamath Basin suckers (Pisces : Catostomidae) and an assessment of hybridization using anonymous nuclear loci

Creator:: Wagman, David Wolfe
Abstract:: Low copy number anonymous nuclear loci were used to search for species markers in four species of Klamath Basin suckers. We sequenced 28 randomly chosen loci representing 10,421 bp; 21 loci were similar to sequences in GenBank. Eight fixed sequence differences were found among Klamath species. Locus 120 contained rare...

Spawning, larval recruitment, and early life survival of Pacific lampreys in the South Fork Coquille River, Oregon

Creator:: Brumo, Abel F.
Abstract:: Recently, there has been concern over the decline of the Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, in the northwestern United States. However, effective management has been impeded by data gaps in basic biology, especially in the early life stages. Consequently, in 2004 and 2005 I examined reproductive ecology, larval recruitment, and lamprey...

Life course perspective : a journey of participation in physical activity

Creator:: Li, Kin-Kit
Abstract:: A life course perspective provide a meta-theoretical framework to understand human development. This perspective is characterized by studying the changing lives within the changing environment (George, 2004). Building upon the literature in the psychosocial paradigm and ecological models, Manuscript 1 discusses the uniqueness and the practical importance of a life...

Cross-cultural comparison of college students' physical activity behaviors in the US and ROC using transtheoretical model constructs

Creator:: Flath, Sharon Chai
Abstract:: This was a cross-cultural comparative study that examined college students' physical activity behavior in both the United States and the Republic of China on the basis of the full Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change. Although current investigations do support TTM as a powerful model of physical activity behavior change,...

Readability of waiver of liability forms used in collegiate intramural and recreational sports programs

Creator:: White, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Properly written waiver of liability forms can be an effective tool in decreasing injury liability of intramural and recreational sports programs. In order for a waiver to be effective, (i.e., held up in court), participants must not only read and sign the waiver, but they must understand it as well....

The strengthening of sport and nationalism in Lithuania despite Soviet influence

Creator:: Dannen, Chase
Abstract:: Upon the annex of Lithuania as a Soviet state, the Soviet Union imposed an order on Lithuanian athletic figures to represent the Soviet Union. Lithuanian athletes would now be obligated to represent the Soviet Union in all international sporting events in which they competed. The international success of Soviet Athletes,...

An inherently parallel Monte Carlo linear systems solver applied to neutron diffusion equations

Creator:: Eccleston, Bradley R.
Abstract:: Linear solvers are often used to solve neutron diffusion problems. These tools have two significant shortcomings. First, parallel implementations provide only a modest speedup. The operations cannot be divided cleanly between processors. Second, for large matrices they can be very slow. Our primary goal is to find a new method...

The effects of Phytophthora ramorum infection on hydraulic conductivity and tylosis formation in tanoak sapwood

Creator:: Collins, Bradley R.
Abstract:: Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus), along with some other members of Fagaceae, are susceptible to sudden oak death caused by the oomycete Phytophthora ramorum. Symptoms of the disease include dying crowns, bleeding cankers, and eventually death of infected trees. The cause of mortality is not well understood, but recent research indicates that...

A Diels-Alder approach to biaryl synthesis

Creator:: Ashburn, Bradley O.
Abstract:: An expedient approach to the synthesis of a wide range of highly programmable biaryl templates has been accomplished. Utilizing the Diels-Alder [4+2] cycloaddition, a wide range of tri- and tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls have been synthesized in only three to four steps from commercially available materials. We have successfully synthesized entire classes...
