Under the IIFET 2018 Special Session “Tools for Stock Assessment, Economic Fishery Analysis, and Risk Assessment for Sustainable Management Strategies of Data Poor Stocks in Mixed, Small Scale and Indigenous Fisheries” a number of stakeholder presentations addressed the current status, challenges, needs and future perspectives for implementation of management and...
This thesis describes an investigation of the natural products chemistry of two fungal species of the genus Tolypocladium. Natural products are small organic molecules that are considered non-essential for cell growth and reproduction, and thus part of secondary metabolism. Chemical profiling of these secondary metabolites using a combination of high-performance...
The present study employs a normalized restricted quadratic profit function approach to estimate lumber and plywood supply and Marshallian factor demand elasticities for four region-product combinations in Oregon for the period 1970-2010. The four log demand functions will be employed as the "demand side" of the log market model of...
After an unusually high incidence of Fusarium canker was observed in commercial hop fields of the Pacific Northwest, field surveys were conducted and revealed that canker incidence ranged from 20 to 60% of bines sampled in six commercial fields, as well as wide-spread Hop stunt viroid infection in these six...
Benton County, Oregon is presently experiencing a crisis level of police contacts with mentally ill suspects. The cause of this sudden increase is currently unknown and local law enforcement is not adequately equipped or funded to respond to this development. This report summarizes the recent literature on law enforcement encounters...
Non-tariff barriers (NTBs) affect particularly developing countries because of their market dependence on developed countries. Given the recent development of the Brazilian aquaculture, the analysis of the NTBs is critical face to its internationalization process. This article aims to analyze the impacts of NTBs implemented by EU to the Brazilian...
This dissertation consists of a general introduction, three research manuscripts, and general conclusions regarding the mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for sustainability traits in the Triticeae Coordinated Agricultural Project (TCAP) facultative/winter 6-rowed elite malting barley genome-wide association studies (GWAS) mapping panel, the TCAP FAC-WIN6. The first research manuscript, a...
Interest in measuring soil quality continues to increase worldwide in view of demands on land productivity and the necessity to preserve soil resources, yet identification of suitable indicators for soil quality assessment is still evolving. This study adapted 10 biological, physical, and chemical indicators of soil quality identified by the...
The following experiment presented herein compared growth, physical activity, stress-related responses, and puberty attainment in heifers reared on high- (HIDENS) or low-stocking densities (LOWDENS). Sixty Angus x Hereford heifers were ranked by age and BW (210 ± 2 d and 220 ± 2 kg, respectively) on d 0, and assigned...
Many trace elements (e.g., Zn, Cd, Mo) are essential phytoplankton micronutrients, making them crucial to the marine ecosystem and ultimately the carbon cycle. Because of this association trace metals are also utilized in paleoceanographic studies (e.g., Mo, Cd). However, not much is known about what controls the cycling of these...
