Influence of Limited Water Access on Douglas-fir Seedling Root Systems, Physiology, and Growth

Creator:: Sheridan, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Nursery-grown seedlings are critical for attaining reforestation and restoration success in many ecosystems, including mixed-conifer forests in the Northwest, which is the native range for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Seedling establishment after planting depends on coordinated responses in seedling growth, physiology, and hydraulic function. The chapters in this dissertation review growth...

The maintenance and stability of the shell color polymorphism in the rocky intertidal gastropod Thais (Nucella) emarginata

Creator:: Davis, Charles Lee
Abstract:: Thais (Nucella) emarginata is a common predatory gastropod of the rocky intertidal system of western North America. It is usually found at low tide on top of its sedentary prey, barnacles and mussels. Thais is also highly polymorphic for shell color, and breeding of isolated females has shown that the...

Central Desert Studies : Archaeological Survey and Excavation in Baja California, Mexico

Creator:: Willis, Samuel C.
Abstract:: This dissertation serves as a contribution to the study of the prehistory of the Central Desert region of Baja California, Mexico. Between 2007 and 2011, a trans-peninsular archaeological survey and excavation program―the Central Desert Early Prehistory Project (CDEPP)―was completed for a portion of the Baja California peninsula extending from the...

Occurrence, transmission, and properties of strains of cucumber mosaic virus that are seed-transmitted in Phaseolus vulgaris

Creator:: Davis, Robert Francis
Abstract:: A survey of major bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) breeding programs and seed producing areas in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon was conducted to determine the occurrence of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), recently reported to be seedborne in beans. Some 259 plants, sampled from breeding lines of diverse germplasm, were found by enzyme-linked...

Radon-222 as an in situ partitioning tracer for quantifying nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) saturations in the subsurface

Creator:: Davis, Brian M.
Abstract:: This study investigated the use of radon-222 as an in situ partitioning tracer for quantifying nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) saturations in the subsurface. Laboratory physical aquifer models (PAMs), field experiments, and numerical simulations were used to investigate radon partitioning in static (no-flow) experiments and in single-well, 'push-pull' tests conducted in...

An experimental/analytical investigation of buoyant jets in shallow water

Creator:: Hsiao, Entsung
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of single-port buoyant turbulent jets discharged into shallow water. The experimental results include the measured downstream dilution, centerline concentration and trajectory. Independent parameters considered were Froude number, submerged depth, discharge angle and velocity ratio. Results indicate that decreasing the...

An experimental/analytical investigation of deep submerged multiple buoyant jets

Creator:: Kannberg, Landis Dee
Abstract:: The results of an experimental and analytical study of deep submerged multiple-port thermal discharges are presented. The experimental results include the measured downstream thermal dilution, width, and centerline trajectory of the buoyant thermal plume from multiport jets. Independent parameters for which measurements were obtained include port spacing, discharge Froude Number,...

Heat transfer in magnetic fluids at low Reynolds number

Creator:: Choi, Sang Hyouk
Abstract:: This study was concerned with the flow of a magnetic self-propelled ferrohydrodynamic fluid in a horizontal circular tube subjected to axially varying temperature and magnetic field. The first phase of the study involved the analytical solution to the governing equations for the velocity and temperature profiles within the fully developed...

Transient heat and mass transfer in soils in the vicinity of heated porous pipes

Creator:: Slegel, David L.
Abstract:: Differential equations governing the combined heat and mass transfer in soils are developed. Transient heat, liquid and vapor transfer with phase change is considered. The liquid transfer is treated as a function of the hydraulic conductivity and the gradient of suction potential. The suction potential is considered a function of...
