  • Chromatophores as cell-based biosensors for the detection of chemically and biologically toxic substances

    Creator:
    Dukovcic, Stephanie R.
    Abstract:
    Cell-based biosensors are function-based detectors that use the physiological response of a living cell to sense biologically stimulating agents. This emerging technology extends the application of current detection methods by reporting on the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, Betta splendens erythrophores have been described...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • Iron acquisition and its regulation in Nitosomonas europaea

    Creator:
    Vajrala, Neeraja
    Abstract:
    Iron is absolutely necessary for the maintenance, the defense, the differentiation and last, but by no means least, the growth and cellular division of almost all living organisms including Nitrosomonas europaea, an ammonia oxidizing bacterium. Given the necessity of iron, it is not surprising that N. europaea evolved several irondependent...

  • Impacts of post-fire salvage logging on soil chemistry, physical properties and bacterial community composition in a mixed-conifer forest in central Oregon

    Creator:
    Jennings, Tara Nicolle
    Abstract:
    Land managers, scientists, and the interested public are confronted with uncertainty about the impacts of salvage logging on soil productivity. In recent years, stand-replacing wildfires in the western United States have increased in frequency, prompting the need to evaluate the effect of post-fire treatments on forest ecosystem recovery. This study...

  • Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

    Creator:
    Thompson, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...

  • Proteomic analyses of marine bacteria

    Creator:
    Sowell, Sarah M.
    Abstract:
    Proteins are the metabolic machines of the cell and as such, the study of proteins could illuminate the dominant biological activities that are occurring within cells and reveal how an organism interacts with its environment. Here, we used proteomic techniques to study the abundant marine bacterium SAR11 both as an...

  • Political economy and trade effects of invasive species regulation : the case of noxious weeds

    Creator:
    Min, He
    Abstract:
    Many non-native weed pests of food, fiber, and nursery crops pose threats to U.S. environment and agriculture. Noxious weed regulations play an important role in preventing the introduction and spread of non-native plants, thereby protecting the local biodiversity, environment and economic activities. However, these regulations could also hamper agricultural trade....

  • The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

    Creator:
    Im, Eun Ho
    Abstract:
    This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities. A carbon tax program, as a mitigation option for...

    Creator:
    Dell, Randal Scott
    Abstract:
    Waterfowl and the places they inhabit provide numerous economic benefits to society. The financial and other resources provided by waterfowl hunters to secure and protect waterfowl habitat are a major force for wetland protection, as guided under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. However, the habitat and population objectives established...

    Creator:
    Laney, Samuel R.
    Abstract:
    Our view of phytoplankton has historically revolved around their inability to control their location in space. The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...
