  • Breaking silos : interdisciplinary research in kinesiology

    Creator:
    Schary, David P.
    Abstract:
    With the growing popularity of kinesiology at the undergraduate level, one would expect the field to be influential. Kinesiology, however, appears to be in a paradox. The undergraduate popularity is not reflected in the rest of academia, or even the general public, many of whom feel kinesiology is not a...

  • Science and technology in cutting-edge agricultural biotechnology research

    Creator:
    Xia, Yin
    Abstract:
    The genetic engineering made possible by the discovery of recombinant DNA has played an increasingly important role in agricultural research. The present study employs a knowledge production model to assess the efficacy of, and relationship between, basic and applied research in agricultural biotechnology, allowing for both complementarity and substitutability between...

  • The effect of 2,4-D on the respiration rate and ethylene production of Bartlett pears and Red Delicious apples

    Creator:
    Fechtig, Allen David
    Abstract:
    After nearly 20 years of commercial use in orchards without apparent tree injury in Oregon and Washington, 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] was reported in 1970 to cause injury to apple and pear trees in Washington. In the early 1970's, there was widespread concern among growers, researchers, and processors in the...

  • Nitrogen release from granules of sulfur-coated urea

    Creator:
    Jarrell, Wesley M.
    Abstract:
    Sulfur-coated urea (SCU) is a slow release nitrogen fertilizer manufactured by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Urea granules are sprayed with molten sulfur, then holes in the sulfur coating are sealed with a layer of wax sealant. The sulfur coatings are mixtures of amorphous and crystalline allotropes of sulfur. Coating thickness...

  • An evaluation of soil warming for increased crop production

    Creator:
    Rykbost, K. A.
    Abstract:
    In regions where soil temperatures limit plant growth, artificial soil warming may be an economically feasible practice. This hypothesis was evaluated in a soil warming experiment near Corvallis, Oregon. This experiment was prompted by the observation that multiple use of waste heat discharged in the condenser cooling water of thermal...

  • Communicating the wildland fire message : an investigation of agency outreach strategies

    Creator:
    Toman, Eric Lee
    Abstract:
    Wildfire impacts have increased in recent years. The management response outlined by recent policy initiatives (e.g., the National Fire Plan, Healthy Forests Restoration Act) emphasizes the use of prescribed fire and mechanized thinning to reduce the risk of future fire events. These policies also call for an unprecedented level of...

  • Stability of reporter gene expression and RNAi in transgenic poplars over multiple years in the field under vegetative propagation

    Creator:
    Li, Jingyi
    Abstract:
    Stable expression of transgenes is required for commercial uses of genetically engineered trees. To better understand the stability of transgene expression under field conditions, we studied transgene expression and RNA interference (RNAi)-induced transgene suppression in 2,480 transgenic poplars (460 transgene insertion events) over three years. Stability of expression was assessed...

  • The ecological legacy of Indian burning practices in southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Carloni, Kenneth R.
    Abstract:
    Two research questions are posed: (1) How have ecosystem conditions changed through time in southwestern Oregon? (2) How have culture-driven and climate-driven processes contributed to ecosystem change in southwestern Oregon? A brief introduction to the Little River study area is followed by a cultural and ecological history of the watershed....
