An economic analysis of changes in exclusive farm use regulations for homesteads in Oregon : a case study in Yamhill County

Creator:: Chen, Li, 1976-
Abstract:: Criticisms to the new regulations created in 1994 governing dwellings in Exclusive Farmland Use zones (zones where agricultural activities are allowed outright) have triggered an overall scrutiny directed by the 70th Oregon Legislative Assembly. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of the new regulations on the...

Viria Woolf and "A Woman's Autobiography" : Rewriting Victorian Conventions of Autobioaphy

Creator:: Vanderpool, Aubrae M.
Abstract:: This thesis brings together gender and genre criticism to consider Virginia Woolf s memoir, "A Sketch of the Past," as a modern experiment in rewriting the traditions and conventions of Victorian autobiography. This thesis will demonstrate how Woolf specifically disrupts the conventions of linear representations of time and the assumed...

Emergency contraceptive pills and college women : factors influencing intention and use

Creator:: Nelson, Heather A.
Abstract:: Approximately half of the 6.4 million pregnancies occurring each year in the United States are unintended (Finer & Henshaw, 2006). Unintended pregnancies, defined as pregnancies not wanted at the time conception occurs, regardless of contraceptive use (Chandra, Martinez, Mosher, Abma, & Jones, 2005) can have serious repercussions on women, children,...

Microhabitat associations and behavioral dynamics of co-occurring native Pacifastacus leniusculus and invasive Procambarus clarkii crayfish in Oregon's southern Willamette Valley

Creator:: Hanshew, Brett Alan
Abstract:: Biological invasions are the second largest threat to biodiversity following habitat loss, and studying invasions has been a focus of ecological the past two decades. Despite the intense research, many basic questions remain empirically unanswered, particularly in the realm of behavior. The purpose of this research was to explore the...

Biotransformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by ruminal organisms

Creator:: De Lorme, Marthah J. M.
Abstract:: 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the common munitions used in the world and is an environmental contaminant that is amendable to reductive transformation reactions. The rumen is an extremely reductive environment containing diverse microbial populations. There are 21 pure culture ruminal bacteria species in culture collection, these were tested for the...

Fatty acid profiling of soil microbial communities : a comparison of extraction methods and temporal dynamics in plant residue amended soils

Creator:: Fernandes, Marcelo Ferreira
Abstract:: A method based on fatty acid (FA) analysis is used to profile microbial community structure (MCS). Various extraction protocols are available, which alter the types of FAs extracted from soils. The more time consuming but widely used protocol extracts only FAs from phospholipids (PLFA). This technique is desirable because PLFAs...

Mechanistic aspects of fracture and fatigue in resin based dental restorative composites

Creator:: Shah, Minalben B.
Abstract:: For resin based dental restorative composites, one of the major challenges is to optimize the balance between mechanical and optical properties. Although fracture is the second leading cause of dental restorative failures, very limited mechanistic understanding exists on a microscopic level. In the present study, the fracture properties and mechanisms...

Hydrodynamics of droplet impingement on heated surfaces : effects of nanofluid and nano-structured surface

Creator:: Shen, Jian
Abstract:: This study investigates the hydrodynamic characteristics of droplet impinging on heated surfaces using High Speed High Resolution (HSHR) imaging and evaluates the effect of surface temperature and using water and a nanofluid on a polished and a nano-structured surface. Three types of surfaces are used in the study: polished silicon,...

Evaluation of vitamin B-6 status of Saudi adult males in the Riyadh region - Saudi Arabia

Creator:: Al-Assaf, Abdullah
Abstract:: The aim of this study was to investigate the vitamin B-6 status of Saudi adult males and compare the status between rural and urban subjects. Fifty-one adult male subjects were recruited from urban (n=31) and rural (n=20) populations of Riyadh. These subjects were reclassified to cigarette smokers (n=19), water pipe...
