Flows associated with harbor ship traffic

Creator:: Downs, Richard Allen
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the potential erosion impacts associated with ship movements in confined waters. The flow associated with a ship passage can be separated accordingly: (1) the propeller wake, (2) flow about the hull, and (3) associated waves. Each of these areas has been analyzed...

Preferential property tax assessments, farmland, and equity: an Oregon study

Creator:: Downs, Darrell Joseph
Abstract:: Since the early 1960's, 44 states have passed legislation that offers preferential property tax assessments to farmers. By most accounts, these programs are intended to preserve farmland. Yet, writers on the subject have argued that the preferential assessment simply does not work to prevent the sales of agricultural land. In...

The phytotoxic effects of herbicide and adjuvant application by physiological timing on the woody shrub salal (Gaultheria shallon)

Creator:: Downs, Theodore
Abstract:: Salal is plant species that is native to forestland throughout the PNW and northern California that has been identified as a competitor to early crop tree development. This study consisted of a field and a radioisotope laboratory study to test four commonly used herbicides on salal (imazapyr, triclopyr, glyphosate, and...

The accuracy of pedometers for adults with Down syndrome during controlled and free-walking conditions

Creator:: Pitchford, Edward Andrew
Abstract:: It has been demonstrated that walking is the most common form of physical activity for adults with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome (DS). The pedometer is common measurement tool to quantify steps walked, yet there is little evidence of the psychometric properties for individuals with intellectual disabilities, particularly DS. Thus,...

A comparison between anthropometric regression equations and hydrostatic weighing for predicting percent body fat of adult males with Down Syndrome

Creator:: Ovalle, Steven E. (Steven Edward)
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of eight anthropometric regression equations with hydrostatic weighing for predicting the percent body fat of adult males with Down Syndrome (DS). Body fat percentages were predicted for 18 adult males with DS. Skinfold, circumference, and bioelectric impedance analysis data were...

Vertebrates, arthropods, and invasive plants : an investigation of the top-down and bottom-up interactions of multiple herbivore guilds in a grassland system

Creator:: Farrell, Kelly Anne
Abstract:: Humans are increasing the scale and frequency of many natural disturbances, as well as adding novel disturbances to ecosystems. This thesis uses the arthropod community as a metric to examine the multi-trophic responses to disturbances in California grasslands. Chapter 2 explores how the long-term exclusion of native vertebrate herbivores has...

Urinary excretion of 4-pyridoxic acid by women using steroid contraceptives and by mental retardates with and without Down's syndrome

Creator:: Young, Joey Nim-cho
Abstract:: The urinary excretion of 4-pyridoxic acid (PIC), the principle end-product of vitamin B₆ metabolism found in human urine, was measured in two populations in whom altered vitamin B₆ metabolism has been reported: in women who use oral contraceptives and in mental retardates with and without Down's syndrome. In the first...

Trickle-down ecohydrology : complexity of rainfall interception and net precipitation under forest canopies

Creator:: Allen, Scott T.
Abstract:: Rainfall interception is a primary control over the moisture input to a forested ecosystem through the partitioning of precipitation into throughfall, stemflow, and an evaporated component (i.e. the interception loss). Rainfall interception is a spatially and temporally varying process at multiple scales, but heterogeneity in interception processes are poorly understood...

The Effect of Exercise on the Biomechanical Determinants of Knee Energy Absorption during Single-leg Jump-cuts

Creator:: Pollard, Anne E.
Abstract:: Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common in a wide variety of sports and most frequently occur during activities requiring rapid deceleration such as landing and cutting. Deceleration of the body's center of mass during movement results primarily from eccentric muscle contraction. This type of contraction serves to absorb energy from...
