Paleomagnetism and secular variation of Easter Island basalts

Creator:: Isaacson, Laurie Brown
Abstract:: The paleomagnetic history of the volcanic rocks of Easter Island was investigated using standard paleomagnetic techniques. The remanent magnetization of 673 specimens from the three volcanic episodes recognized on the island were measured using a spinner magnetometer. Inclinations, declinations and virtual geomagnetic poles were calculated for each flow. The majority...

Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

Creator:: Brown, Nathaniel M.
Abstract:: Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

Agricultural erosion and sediment in the western Willamette Valley as indicated by redistribution of Cesium-137

Creator:: Brown, R. B. (Randall Barber)
Abstract:: Modern agricultural erosion was studied using ¹³⁷Cs from fallout as an indicator of erosion/deposition. The study area was a 285 ha agricultural watershed in the hilly western margin of the Willamette Valley, a high winter rainfall zone in which fall-planted crops are commonly grown. Objectives of the study were (i)...

Physical properties and genetic studies of cryptic plasmids discovered in plant pathogenic pseudomonads

Creator:: Curiale, Michael Steven
Abstract:: Six plant pathogenic isolates of Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea, the causal agent of bacterial blight of Glycine max (L.) Merrill, and one isolate of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola, the causal agent of halo blight of Phaseolus vulgaris L., have been examined for the presence of circular duplex deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)....

Pharmacological characterization of the porcine atrial A₁ adenosine receptor

Creator:: Leid, Mark
Abstract:: Cardiac A₁ adenosine receptors mediate cardioinhibitory properties of adenosine and structural congeners. The objective of these studies was to increase our understanding of molecular processes involved in ligand interactions with receptors mediating cardioinhibitory effects of adenosine and the interactions of these receptors with guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins. Porcine atrial...

Base inclinations in natural and synthetic DNAs

Creator:: Chou, Ping-Jung
Abstract:: A sophisticated computer program is developed to analyze flow linear dichroism data on nucleic acids for individual base inclinations. Measured absorption and linear dichroism data for synthetic AT and GC polymers and natural DNAs are analyzed. The reliability of the program is tested on data for the synthetic polymers, and...

Relationships between Piagetian cognitive development at the formal level and science background among prospective elementary school teachers

Creator:: Ehindero, Olusola Joseph
Abstract:: Results of recent studies on Piagetian cognitive development, though equivocal, showed that the architectonic of formal operational schemata is not possessed by a sizeable percentage (up to 52%) of adolescents and young adults. The purpose of the present study is two fold: (i) To assess the cognitive levels of a...

Specification of parallel processing using production systems

Creator:: Gazaly, Mohammed
Abstract:: This research work investigates the use of production systems as a model of parallel processing. The purpose of the model is to provide a suitable medium within which parallel processing systems can be systematically specified, analyzed, and designed. Furthermore, the model provides a suitable means for deriving implementations of synchronization...
