Estimating the Influence of the Urban Heat Island Effect on Housing Prices

Creator:: Hossain, Lima
Abstract:: Using summertime housing transactions data of 3,309 parcels from multiple years in Eugene-Springfield, OR, we present a hedonic price model to estimate the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on housing prices in this metropolitan area. By taking advantage of the inherent random nature of summertime weather observations,...

Evaluating Field Production Issues by Investigating Grain Dormancy and Plant Segregation Patterns in Soft White Winter Wheat

Creator:: McCarthy, Christy A.
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a highly valuable crop that makes up a large portion of the world’s food. However, breeding for improved varieties with desirable characteristics can be a challenge. This research examined two different issues wheat breeders deal with throughout the selection process all the way to production of...

Dilute Permanganate Preferentially Oxidizes Polyphenols Rather than Microbial Food: A Reinterpretation of a Common “Active Carbon” Measurement

Creator:: Christy, Isabel
Abstract:: “Active carbon” is a rapidly cycling soil organic carbon (SOC) fraction that acts as an energy and nutrient source for the microbial community. Dilute permanganate oxidation has been used to measure an “active carbon” fraction with the assumption that permanganate oxidation mimics enzymatic decomposition. Permanganate oxidizable carbon (PoxC) has become...

The Rebirth of Direct Farm Marketing and the Rethinking of Food Safety Regulation: A View from the Ground in Oregon

Creator:: Brekken, Christy Anderson
Abstract:: Consumers are increasingly turning to farm direct foods for personal reasons, such as fresh and healthy food, and for public reasons, such as supporting local and rural economies and reducing the environmental impact of their food choices. As a result, farmers’ markets and other direct farm marketing has increased substantially...

Using marketing management tools to evaluate non-credit, nature-based education : The Seatauqua program

Creator:: Sallee, Christy
Abstract:: As the role of tourism in Oregon's coastal economy grows, associated economic and resource management issues gain heightened importance. Outdoor recreation associated with natural resources is now the main component of tourist activity on the Oregon coast, and facilities and programs that address this public interest are growing in Oregon,...

Evaporative heat loss of the upper Middle Fork of the John Day River, northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Benner, David A.
Abstract:: Evaporation was studied along the Middle Fork of the John Day River in northeastern Oregon. Evaporation pans and various meteorological sensors recorded data at nine sites during the summer of 1998; measurements were made at each site over a 3-4 day period. A Dalton-type evaporation model was produced using water...

The economics of western juniper management on ranches located in the John Day Ecological Province of north-central Oregon

Creator:: Aldrich, Gwendolyn A.
Abstract:: Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) is a species of juniper native to arid regions of the Pacific Northwest. The western juniper tree has a number of competitive strategies that, in conjunction with an almost complete removal of fire from the ecosystem, have resulted in a significant expansion of its population...

Development of mucosal vaccines for avian influenza A virus composed of recombinant Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii

Creator:: Reese, Kaleb A.
Abstract:: Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...

Shallow aquifer characteristics adjacent to the upper Middle Fork John Day River, eastern Oregon

Creator:: Hopson, Richard G.
Abstract:: Subsurface inputs into lotic systems are a primary mechanism for cooling streams with high ambient water temperatures. Objectives of this study include: 1) to determine the effectiveness of Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) thermal imagery to detect shallow aquifers, 2) to characterize certain physical, spatial, and temporal characteristics of the fluvial,...

Determination of mode of death of John Day Merycoidodontidae (Oreodontidae) by populaton age structure analysis

Creator:: Brown, Melinda Elaine
Abstract:: Volcanic activity during the Tertiary has long been held responsible for the deaths and subsequent fossilization of the vertebrate populations of the John Day region in Oregon. Oreodonts as plains or savannah dwelling ruminant herbivores, were likely to have been subject to potential exposure throughout their lifetime to volcanic debris...
