Analyzing patterns of woody plant richness at multiple spatial scales with modeled photosynthesis

Creator:: Swenson, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: The hump-shaped relationship that predicts highest species richness (species/unit area) at intermediate levels of productivity was examined for woody plants across the Pacific and Inland Northwest of the U.S. Many studies have examined this relationship at regional scales, but commonly use species range maps and surrogate measures of productivity (e.g....

Comparison of the coat protein gene of raspberry bushy dwarf virus from raspberry and blackberry

Creator:: Chamberlain, Crystle J.
Abstract:: Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) infects red raspberry and black raspberry worldwide. Infection causes reduced vigor and drupelet abortion leading to crumbly fruit and reduced yields. While this crumbly fruit can still be used in juice, jam, and preserves, it cannot be used for the more valuable fresh and individually...

Measuring in situ reductive dechlorination rates in trichloroethene-contaminated groundwater

Creator:: Hageman, Kimberly J.
Abstract:: Trichloroethene (TCE) is the most frequently detected organic contaminant in groundwater, is classified as a probable human carcinogen, and exhibits toxicological effects on the human endocrine, immune, developmental, and reproductive systems. While significant research efforts have been devoted to the development of strategies for remediating TCE-contaminated groundwater, their advancement is...

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...

Large volume (1,800 µL) injection HPLC/MS/MS for the quantitative determination of illicit drugs and human urinary biomarkers in municipal wastewater

Creator:: Chiaia Hernandez, Aurea C.
Abstract:: A sensitive, selective, rapid analytical method based on large-volume injection (LVI) liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry was developed using commercially-available hardware that eliminates the need for either off-line or on-line solid phase extraction. Centrifugation followed by the direct injection of 1,800 µL was used for the quantification of illicit drugs,...

Detection of the Burkholderia cepacia complex in soil environments

Creator:: Miller, Suzanne C. McKenzie
Abstract:: Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria reside in soil, plant rhizospheres, and water, but the prevalence of Bcc in outdoor environments is not clear. In this study, we sampled a variety of soil and rhizosphere environments with which people may have contact: playgrounds, athletic fields, parks, hiking trails, residential yards and...

The distribution of geologic and artifact obsidian from the Silver Lake/Sycan Marsh geochemical source group, South-Central Oregon

Creator:: Thatcher, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Geochemical characterization methods are commonly used in the reconstruction of prehistoric raw material use and procurement systems. Trace element studies of lithic source material and artifacts, specifically those made of obsidian, can reveal important information about the environmental and cultural factors which influence the prehistoric distribution of raw material. The...

Microbial alteration of the seafloor

Creator:: Josef, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass (sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that this unique alteration of glass can be attributed to microbial activity. Microbial alteration textures have...

Common Factors that Affect Aesthetics in Bridge Design

Creator:: Coe, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Aesthetics should be emphasized as much as possible in a design project without exceeding scope, budget, or schedule to satisfy the stakeholders involved. There is a rising trend of increased emphasis on aesthetics. This trend of using various techniques to help structures blend in or contribute to the surrounding environment...

Decomposition of absorption coefficients and decorrelation lengthscales of hydrographic and inherent optical properties in the Middle Atlantic Bight

Creator:: Simeon, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: This investigation is an exploration of the use of inherent optical properties towards further elucidation of coastal circulation processes occurring on the continental shelf and slope in the Middle Atlantic Bight, south of Cape Cod Massachusetts, during 14-Aug to 1-Sep 1996 and 25-Apr to 15-May 1997. Assessing the possibility of...
