Effects of disturbance modes on mycorrhizal fungus communities at Crater Lake National Park

Creator:: Trappe, Matt
Abstract:: Crater Lake National Park presents an excellent opportunity for ecological research due to its relatively pristine landscape, the protection of its natural features, its infrastructure, and a Park administration supportive of scientific inquiry and restoration ecology. The research presented here examines the responses of fungi to various forms of perturbation....

Efficient power conversion interface circuits for energy harvesting applications

Creator:: Le, Triet T.
Abstract:: Harvesting energy from the environment for powering micro-power devices have been increasing in popularity. These types of devices can be used in embedded applications or in sensor networks where battery replacement is impractical. In this dissertation, different methods of energy harvesting from the environment are explored as alternative sources of...

Luminescent sulfides and solution-deposited oxide thin films

Creator:: Anderson, Jeremy T.
Abstract:: Solid state luminescent sulfides are prepared as powders in order to elucidate the relationship between structure and light emission. While the sulfides studied in this dissertation are known phosphors, materials are investigated in a variety of new ways. Elementary properties and structures of MgS are reviewed, and preparation of MgS...

Quantitative determination of emerging contaminants, solvent stabilizers and fullerene nanomaterials, in biological and environmental systems

Creator:: Isaacson, Carl W.
Abstract:: To determine the impact of emerging environmental contaminants on human and environmental health, quantitative analytical methods are required. Analysis of emerging contaminants is hampered by their widely varying physical-chemical properties. Therefore quantitative analytical methods must be developed to determine the behavior of emerging contaminants in environmental systems. A quantitative analytical...

Some potential mechanisms for finely-tuned regulation of phospholipase C-β isozymes : studies of dimerization and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate activation

Creator:: Zhang, Yong
Abstract:: Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...

Influences of high severity fire and postfire logging on avian and small mammal communities of the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Fontaine, Joseph B.
Abstract:: High severity fire is a historical and integral disturbance process in coniferous forest types. Compounded disturbances such as multiple fires or post-disturbance management activities are increasingly common, but ecological responses are not well understood and may represent novel types of disturbances. I studied bird and small mammal communities in the...

Identification of intracellular trafficking signals contained within the vaccinia virus F13L protein

Creator:: Honeychurch, Kady M.
Abstract:: The F13L protein is the major envelope antigen of vaccinia virus, the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. F13L is 372 residues in length and is essential for the formation of wrapped forms of virus. F13L contains a number of potential functional domains including a palmitylation site, a phospholipase domain...

Unraveling tissue regeneration using chemical genetics

Creator:: Mathew, Lijoy K.
Abstract:: The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...

Regions to streams : spatial and temporal variation in stream occupancy patterns of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) on the Oregon coast

Creator:: Flitcroft, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: Aquatic ecological investigation is expanding to encompass considerations of multiple scales across large landscapes. Much of the analysis included in this work focuses specifically on coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in multiple subbasins on the Oregon coast. Coho salmon were chosen for an investigation of spatial scales, network connections, and life...

An evaluation of understory vegetation dynamics, ecosystem resilience and state and transition ecological theory in an eastern Oregon ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: Relatively recent increases in ponderosa pine abundance have effected unprecedented changes to ecosystem structure and function. Efforts to restore ponderosa pine systems are often focused on the manipulation of tree structure and the re-introduction of a more natural fire regime. Successful restoration should also incorporate understory components but information addressing...
