The effects of functional ability, assistance from human resources, and built-environment features on relocation among older persons

Creator:: June, Kyung Sook
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine conditions under which functional ability predicts relocation of older persons. Data for this study came from a sample of 6,225 respondents aged 70 or older, who were interviewed both at Wave 1 (1993) and 2 (1995) of a longitudinal national survey of...

Nesting and foraging ecology of band-tailed pigeons in western Oregon

Creator:: Leonard, Jerome Patrick
Abstract:: Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata) have declined markedly during the past several decades. Despite implementation of increasingly restrictive hunting regulations, populations have shown minimal signs of recovery. I radio-marked 127 adult band-tailed pigeons in the central Oregon Coast Range in April-May of 1993-95 to document nesting chronology and productivity,...

The effects of mechanical damage on residual coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirbel] Franco) following commercial thinning

Creator:: Kiser, James D.
Abstract:: Commercial thinning operations can result in damage to residual stems. A literature review revealed that little was known about the effects of residual logging wounds with regard to rotation-age commercial conifers, particularly Douglas-fir. An experiment to examine fungal colonization of Douglas-fir following logging damage showed that while damage was significant...

Simulating Wood Properties in the Context of a Growth and Yield Model for Planted Douglas-fir

Creator:: Osborne, Nathaniel L.
Abstract:: Forest growth and yield models are critical to supporting decision making in forestry, but often lack considerations for wood properties. The feasibility of simulating wood properties in the context of a Douglas-fir individual tree growth and yield model was evaluated. This assessment explored the effect of predicted sapwood width, stem...

Temperature stress, gene expression, and innate immunity at the onset of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

Creator:: Schnitzler, Christine E.
Abstract:: The intracellular mutualism between cnidarians and photosynthetic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium) is responsible for the physical and trophic structure of diverse coral reef ecosystems. This relationship, based on nutrient exchange, allows for high productivity in tropical waters, which are generally nutrient-poor environments. Numerous environmental stressors currently threaten the health of corals,...

The effects of supplemental home instruction by parents utilizing the data based gymnasium instructional model on the performance of selected motor skills with moderately and severely mentally retarded children

Creator:: Maguire, Paul A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if parents of students could improve the motor performance of their moderately and severely mentally retarded children through the implementation of the Data-Based Gymnasium (DBG) Instructional Model as a supplement to the school program. The DBG Instructional Model is an individualized system...

Seed dormancy, germination and seedling vigor of some Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) varieties as affected by environmental and endogenous factors

Creator:: Maguire, James Dale
Abstract:: Seed of Cougar and Newport Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) was harvested at Pullman and Spokane at several stages of maturity. Variations in seed attributes resulting from environmental and maturity effects were evaluated through germination tests, tetrazolium staining, seed moisture and seed weight determinations. Seedling vigor was determined by .speed...

Beyond heat or eat : street-level bureaucracy in rural Oregon energy relief

Creator:: Maguire, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: Rising energy costs coupled with the diminishing incomes associated with rural economic restructuring leave an increasing proportion of rural households faced with the heat or eat dilemma--where families must choose between meeting one basic need over another, such as putting food on the table or keeping the heat on. Effective...

Functional polymers and proteins at interfaces

Creator:: Schilke, Karl F.
Abstract:: Functional polymers and proteins at interfaces and surfaces are of fundamental importance for biomaterials, biocatalysis and microreactor applications. Candida antarctica lipase B immobilized on poly-DL-tryptophan tethers showed 30x higher specific activity in aqueous and non-aqueous media than the same enzyme adsorbed or covalently bound directly to the surface. An excess...

The growing skeleton : influence of lifestlye and the development of normative data using DXA

Creator:: Fuchs, Robyn K.
Abstract:: To examine the potential for exercise to build bone mass during growth, objectives of this dissertation included: 1) determine the effects of 7 months of jumping followed by 7 months of detraining on hip and spine bone mass in the prepubertal children; 2) determine variables that best predict bone mineral...
