  • Nutrient management and cycling in grass seed crops

    Creator:
    Horneck, Donald Arthur
    Abstract:
    Grass seed production in Oregon's Willamette Valley traditionally relied on open field burning for straw residue disposal and nutrient recycling. Changes in residue management from open field burning to methods that remove straw coincided with rapidly declining K soil test values. A survey of grass seed fields showed that many...

  • Keyboard retraining : Qwerty to Dvorak

    Creator:
    Lessley, Bradley John
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to provide information pertaining to performance levels of Dvorak keyboard operators through retraining. More specifically, the purposes of this study were: 1. To compare operator performance rates on the Dvorak keyboard with operator performance rates on the Qwerty keyboard. 2. To determine whether keyboard...

  • DHA and Low-fat Low-cholesterol Diets as Treatment Strategies for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

    Creator:
    Lytle, Kelli Anne
    Abstract:
    Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by the accumulation of excess neutral lipids within the parenchymal cells of the liver. The primary etiology is diet-induced and most often exists as a comorbidity with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and/or Type 2 Diabetes. The development of excess liver lipid can be self-limiting...

  • 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...

  • π-line reconstruction formulas in computed tomography

    Creator:
    Hass, Ryan Andrew
    Abstract:
    X-ray computed tomography is a noninvasive imaging modality capable of reconstructing exact density values of 3D objects. Computed tomography machines are deployed across the world to provide doctors with an image that reveals more detail than a standard x-ray image. We investigate algorithms based on exact computed tomography reconstruction formulas...

  • How the animals found their places : pattern detection, experimentation, and epistemology in a high desert stream fish assemblage

    Creator:
    White, Seth Michael
    Abstract:
    I examined the relative roles of biotic and abiotic factors in structuring redband trout Oncorhynchus mykiss distributions in the South Fork John Day. I first examined the relationship between the biological traits of the fish assemblage and riparian-geomorphic features in context of prevailing theories of stream ecology stemming from the...

  • Prostate cancer prevention with broccoli : from cellular to human studies

    Creator:
    Clarke, John D.
    Abstract:
    Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men. Epidemiologic studies suggest that cruciferous vegetable intake may lower the risk for many cancers, including prostate and colon. Isothiocyanates (ITC) are phytochemicals derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage that may...

  • Design of a mini-computer controlled digital integrated circuit tester

    Creator:
    Fasang, Patrick Pad, 1941-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct, program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted to digital integrated circuits. The general concept of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on the truth table of that circuit. A combination...

  • A proteomic approach to 1,2-dichloroethane bioactivation and reaction with redox-active protein disulfide isomerase

    Creator:
    Kaetzel, Rhonda Sue
    Abstract:
    Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a member of the thioredoxin superfamily, contains two domains with significant sequence homology to the active sites in thioredoxin. PDI facilitates the folding of nascent proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), binds hormones and Ca²⁺, catalyzes the glutathione dependent reduction of dehydroascorbate, serves as a major...
