An iterative investigation into the implementation of handheld computers as learning tools in a science museum

Creator:: Phipps, Molly E.
Abstract:: In this study I discuss the state of Free-Choice Learning research, and an investigation into the use of personal ubiquitous technology on visitors' experiences at a science center. The three manuscripts included in this document: 1. Review published research on free-choice learning from 1997-2007 from selected journals 2. Examine visitors'...

An exploration of visitors’ conservation attitudes, expectations, and motivations at three informal education institutions in Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Nickels, Abby L.
Abstract:: Due to the overwhelming concern for the current state of our oceans, The Pew Ocean Commission (2003) and the U.S. Commission on Ocean policy (2004), have both strongly recommended an increase in our society’s ocean literacy. An increase in ocean literacy can be achieved through informal education institutions such as...

New sources and linked AFLP markers for Eastern filbert blight resistance in hazelnut

Creator:: Chen, Honglin
Abstract:: Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Miiller, is a devastating disease to orchards of the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Host resistance is the most desirable means of disease control. Fifty-eight hazelnut accessions, including European cultivars and interspecific hybrids were evaluated...

An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:: Starkenburg, Shawn R.
Abstract:: The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...

Steps toward structure-assisted drug design

Creator:: Watts, K. Shawn
Abstract:: The three dimensional structure of both a ligand and its cognate receptor are required for the success of structure-assisted drug design. This thesis reports the crystal structure of hectochlorin, a small, bioactive molecule, and the steps toward determining the crystal structure of an RNA molecule that is an attractive target...

A study of whale watching visitor's cognitive constructs in relation to a whale watching outreach program : An assessment of past experience, value orientations, awareness of actions, and conceptual knowledge structure

Creator:: Christensen, Alicia H.
Abstract:: Given the current state of our oceans, the Pew Oceans Commission (1993) has strongly recommended that increased efforts be made towards ocean literacy. Informal education and outreach programs like the Whale Watching Spoken Here program are important contributors to life-long learning. However, there is little research looking at how these...

Characterization of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) cultivars using SSR markers

Creator:: Gokirmak, Tufan
Abstract:: Twenty-one pairs of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to investigate genetic diversity in 270 accessions of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) representing a wide geographic range. A capillary electrophoresis system and ABI Genescan® and Genotyper® software were used to determine the allele size generated from each PCR reaction based...

Simple sequence repeat marker development and use in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Gürcan, Kahraman
Abstract:: New highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). were developed from several sources. The markers were characterized, and segregation in a mapping population allowed to assign them to linkage groups. Their transferability across genera and species in the Betulaceae family was investigated. SSR markers...

DNA markers linked to novel sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for ‘Gasaway’ resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of...
