Alternate methods of fattening steers in Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Whittington, David Lynn
Abstract:: Studies were conducted at the Squaw Butte Experiment Station during two consecutive years to : (1) compare various internal indicators and chromic oxide to estimate forage intake and fecal production, (2) compare methods of producing slaughter weight steers using maximum quantities of forage and minimum quantities of grain. Actual fecal...

Causes and consequences of uncertainty in the application of a biogeochemical model to a large geographic region

Creator:: Kennedy, Robert Emmet, 1970-
Abstract:: When biogeochemical models are applied to large regions, the values of key model parameters are often unknowable. Through field and modeling studies, I examined the potential impact of such uncertainty on estimates of carbon cycling in western Oregon. I found that variation in key leaf traits could be interpreted ecologically,...

Paclobutrazol and nutrient treatment effects on ovation perennial ryegrass

Creator:: Turner, J. Kevin
Abstract:: Rapid tiller and root production can improve seedling survival and benefit stand establishment of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in commercial seed fields. Environmental conditions after establishment and inherent morphological factors combine to reduce the commercially harvested yield below the theoretical potential yield. These studies were conducted to determine if...

Simulating vegetation shifts and carbon cycling in Yosemite National Park

Creator:: Conklin, David R.
Abstract:: The vegetation in Yosemite National Park changed during the 20th century and may change in the 21st century in response to climate change. Vegetation surveys made during the 1930s and the 1990s provide benchmark records separated by 60 years. This study uses the MC1 dynamic global vegetation model to forecast...

Potential carbon storage at the landscape scale in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.

Creator:: Smithwick, Erica Ann Hoffa
Abstract:: Estimates of potential carbon (C) storage can be used to constrain predictions of future carbon sequestration and to understand the degree to which disturbances, both natural aid anthropogenic, affect C storage. An upper bound on C storage in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States was estimated using field...

The role of S-adenosylmethionine in the biosynthesis of ergosterol and related sterols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Turner, Jan Ross
Abstract:: An enzyme system was prepared from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, strain MCC, which carries out the transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine or methionine to the side chain of yeast sterols. The cell-free system has been shown to be incapable of synthesizing ergosterol but carries out the synthesis of two as...

On Avoiding Power-Seeking by Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Turner, Alexander M.
Abstract:: We do not know how to align a very intelligent AI agent's behavior with human interests. I investigate whether—absent a full solution to this AI alignment problem—we can build smart {\ai} agents which have limited impact on the world, and which do not autonomously seek power. In this thesis, I...
