As pre-spawning mortality (PSM) in Chinook salmon in the Willamette River Valley becomes a more defined and examined area of study, more focus is granted to not only preserving the health of these fish, but also expanding knowledge concerning various pathogens that utilize the salmon as hosts and may be...
Four root mutants, diageotropica (dgt), and altered root architecture (ara) 1, 2, and 3, were used to study root architecture and better understand the process by which root architecture is determined. Adventitious root formation, tissue response to auxin, nutritional response, and starch accumulation in the leaves were tested in ara...
The physical properties of hydrochloric acid and deuterium chloride were derived through the use of the harmonic oscillator and rigid rotor quantum mechanical models. By first obtaining angular momentum quantum values for HCl and DCl through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, these two systems could be summed and processed with additional...
Red raspberry markets in both Chile and Oregon are affected by factors in each other‟s production processes. As seen in the late 1990‟s changes in pricing and supply can hinder the competitive edge of markets, pushing producers into economic hardship. Thus, the need to know the competition‟s methods is presented....
