Wind Energy: An Analysis and Comparison of Wind-Power Development in the United States and Spain

Creator:: Wilhelmsen, Scott
Abstract:: This essay seeks to analyze the wind-power policies of Spain, the United States and the world in order to better understand the past, present and future potentials of the resource. The growing demand for energy, concerns about global warming, and the need for increased energy security encourage societies to embrace...

Whole system perspective : Steelhead, Onchorhynchus mykiss, glutathione s-transferase as a biomarker of chlorpyrifos exposure

Creator:: Pecore, Rachael G.
Abstract:: Organophosphate insecticides may produce sublethal, adverse effects on salmonid growth, reproduction, maturation, swimming, and feeding. Chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate insecticide, was detected by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality in the Hood River and tributaries during March 1999 at levels exceeding state water quality standards in the range of 0.011-0.482 μg/L....

Salal in old growth forests : The significance of gaps in understory carbon balancewith and examination of the link between climate change and rural livelihoods in developing countries : an opportunity for Latin America

Creator:: Mayfield, Joyce Bybee
Abstract:: Gaps in the forest canopy allow more light to reach the understory. Since light in the understory is heterogeneous, understanding the physiological processes in gaps and non-gaps will improve estimates of carbon balance. This research outlines an approach for defining carbon balance for Salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh.), a dominant understory...

Laboratory studies of growth conditions of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) with international considerations to shellfish-associated illnesses in South Korea

Creator:: Lee, Jeehye
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a naturally occurring halophilic pathogen, is seasonally abundant in marine and estuarine environments. It is also the leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans world-wide. Numerous outbreak incidences associated with the pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus contaminations in oyster products have raised public-health concerns as well as economic challenges to the...

Immunohistochemical characterization of melanomas in bigenic mice containing activated Cdk4 and keratinocyte specific ablation of Retinoid-X-Receptor alpha (RXRα) protein With international consideration of Differences in Societal and Behavioral Attitudes toward Skin Cancer between Japanese American and Japanese

Creator:: Nguyen, Vananh M.
Abstract:: OVERVIEW OF INTRODUCTION - This is a combined thesis for both disciplines of BioResource Research (BRR)Interdisciplinary and International Degree (ID) Programs OSU. The first chapter encompasses the BRR research, which is a preliminary study utilizing immunohistochemical method to characterize melanomas in bigenic mice with activated Cdk4 protein and Retinoid-X-Receptor α...

Discovery and Isolation of Bioactive Natural Products from Actinomycete Bacteria with an Examination ofInfectious Disease Drug Development and Application : A Comparison of the Developing and Developed Worlds

Creator:: Petrossian, Gregory
Abstract:: New antibiotic compounds with novel mechanisms of action have become essential in response to the recent paradigm of increasingly resistant strains of bacteria. Secondary metabolites (natural products) from bacteria such as Actinobacteria serve as lead compounds for the development of pharmaceutical drugs widely used to fight bacterial, viral and fungal...

Differences in Societal and Behavioral Attitudes toward Skin Cancer between Japanese American and Japanese

Creator:: Nguyen, Vananh M.
Abstract:: The rate of melanoma among Asian American has been steadily increasing in the past five years, while in other Asian countries, such as Japan, the incident rate remains relatively the same. Does the culture and societal attitudes toward skin cancer make a difference in the incident rate of melanoma? This...

Carbon Footprint Calculations for Oregon State University and Guadalupe, Cerro Punta, Panama

Creator:: Melendez-Rivera, Kimberly
Abstract:: Greenhouse gases effects are a leading contributor to climate change; reducing harmful effects of these gases is important for future generations. Worldwide, household consumption makes up seventy-two percent of greenhouse gas emissions, followed by government consumption at ten percent, and investments at eighteen percent (Hertwich, 2009). In order to understand...

Biogeochemistry of inorganic P, Mn, and Fe in seasonally reduced soils of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: King, Rex
Abstract:: Saturated soils undergo reduced conditions as microorganisms consume oxygen and require other terminal electron accepting processes for the mineralization of soil organic carbon. Currently, the soil redox potential has not been considered as important when sampling these soils for Fe, Mn, and P04. Since Fe- and Mn-oxides are electron sinks...
