Biosystematics of the Mimulus nanus complex in Oregon

Creator:: Ezell, Wayland Lee, 1937-
Abstract:: A biosystematic study was made in seven populations of Mimulus nanus Hook. & Arn. and M. cusickii (Greene) Piper (Scrophulariaceae) in central Oregon, and a taxonomic revision was made of the four species of section Eunanus reported from Oregon--M. nanus, M. cusickii, M. clivicola Greenm. and M. jepsonii Grant. Mimulus...

Selenoprotein W : Purification and characterization of its interaction with calmodulin

Creator:: Bauman, Andrew Thomas
Abstract:: Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a protein whose function is unknown, but potentially plays a vital role in calcium metabolism, as an indirect link has been established with white muscle disease (WMD). White muscle disease occurs in selenium deficient animals, and is characterized by the precipitation of calcium in muscle, leading...

Attitude-behavior fit in preschool peer relations : configurations of sociometry and social participation

Creator:: Shankar, Ila
Abstract:: The study of preschool children's peer relations has primarily employed sociometric interviews and observations of children's social participation during free-play situations as methods of assessment. These assessments of peer relations have traditionally demonstrated lack of fit between attitude (as measured by sociometry) and behavior (observation of social participation). Often, sociometric...

Factors affecting attitudes toward premarital violence

Creator:: Emery, Beth C.
Abstract:: There has been much interest generated recently regarding the nature and cause of dating violence. The purpose of this study was to determine what factors affected individuals' attitudes toward dating violence. A sample of 403 college volunteers completed questionnaires which were designed to assess their attitudes toward abuse as it...

Effects of Diversity on Emerging Infectious Diseases of Amphibians

Creator:: Snyder, Paul W.
Abstract:: Species declines and extinctions have been recorded across taxa as evidence of an ongoing global biodiversity crisis. Amphibians are at the forefront of these declines with nearly one third of amphibian species estimated to be at risk of extinction. While many factors contribute to population declines and extinctions, the role...

Disentangling the Biotic and Abiotic Drivers of the Amphibian Disease Chytridiomycosis

Creator:: Bradley, Paul W.
Abstract:: The ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity has been described as a "biodiversity crisis," "the Anthropocene defaunation," and alternatively "an extinction spasm." More recently, many scientists have come to the conclusion that we are witnesses to Earth's sixth major mass extinction event, which has the potential to fundamentally alter basic ecological...

Characterization of fungal and bacterial communities associated with mat-forming ectomycorrhizal fungi from old-growth stands in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Hesse, Cedar N.
Abstract:: Mat-forming ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi represent a prevalent constituent of many temperate forest ecosystems and create dramatic changes in soil structure and chemistry. EcM mat soil have been shown to have increased microbial respiration rates and have been hypothesized to harbor unique assemblages of fungi and bacteria. The objectives of this...

Distribution of understory species in relation to maximum and minimum tree influence in the montane forest of the Central Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Robinson, Andrew Frederick, Jr.
Abstract:: Twenty sites of uniform topography and soil were select ed in the montane forest found on the East flank of the Central Oregon Cascades. These sites were located along a vegetational gradient composed of five plant communities: Abies/Pachistima, Pinus/Ceanothus, Pinus Arctostaphylos-Purshia, Pinus/Purshia/Festuca, and Juniperus Festuca. An attempt was made to...

Quaternary Landscape Evolution and the Surface Expression of Plume-Lithosphere Interactions in the Greater Yellowstone Area

Creator:: Guerrero, Eduardo Francisco
Abstract:: Numerous investigations demonstrate that mantle convective processes such as upwelling affect the surface topography of the overriding plate. The surface expression of mantle flow has been coined ‘transient topography’. Transient topography in the North American plate is thought to result from a mantle thermal anomaly beneath the Yellowstone volcanic center,...

Signatures in the Subsurface - Big & Small Data Approaches for the Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Geologic Properties & Uncertainty Reduction

Creator:: Rose, Kelly Kathleen
Abstract:: Despite more than two centuries of exploration, including more than six million deep wellbores with depths exceeding 40,000 feet in some parts of the world, our ability to constrain subsurface processes and properties remains limited. Characteristics of the subsurface vary and can be analyzed on a variety of spatial scales....
