California condors in the Pacific Northwest : integrating history, molecular ecology, and spatial modeling for reintroduction planning

Creator:: D'Elia, Jesse
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are increasingly being used to save animals from extinction and aid in their recovery. The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus), one of the most endangered birds in the world, is a remarkable example of how reintroduction programs can help rapidly increase a species' population numbers and range following a...

A chorological analysis of the grass balds in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Aldrich, Frank T.
Abstract:: Detailed phytosociological and physical data were gathered from six grass-fern balds in the Oregon Coast Range, Monmouth Peak, Grass Mountain, Prairie Peak, Roman Nose Mountain, Tyee Mountain, and Saddle Mountain. Panchromatic and color infrared air photography guided sampling within individual balds. The resultant floristic data was manipulated by a Braun-Blanquet...

Towards the Routine Computational Investigation of Complex Organocatalysis and Reaction Processes

Creator:: Ogba, O. Maduka
Abstract:: In this Dissertation, the mechanism and stereomechanics of complex organocatalysis and reaction processes are disclosed. The technologies and protocols currently being developed and utilized to efficiently investigate these systems using theory are highlighted. A detailed computational study of peptide-catalyzed acylations is disclosed. In particular, the magnitude of all possible non-bonding...

The roles of provenance and phylogeny in recruitment, community assembly, and species coexistence in invaded California grasslands

Creator:: Brandt, Angela J.
Abstract:: Biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, but many naturalized invaders coexist with the native community. Community ecology theory provides a framework for understanding the mechanisms by which invaders might coexist with native species or exclude them from the community, thus informing management practices to maximize...

White racial identity development in transitional space : Discourse and praxis among Christian teacher educators

Creator:: Harris, Gennie S.
Abstract:: This research examines two questions: 1) What stories do Christian teacher educators tell about their own White racial identity development? and 2) Is there an impact of studying White racial identity development on the praxis of Christian teacher educators? If so, in what ways? The researcher began the project with...

Combustion mechanisms in wood fired boilers

Creator:: Tuttle, Kenneth Lewis
Abstract:: A program of research has been established at Oregon State University to study wood residue combustion using an experimental spreader-stoker combustor. This research was conducted to increase the understanding of combustion occurring in wood fired boilers. Using Douglas Fir screened to 3/8-3/4 inches, two 4x4 factorial experiments were conducted varying...

Evaluation of nutritional qualities of common ryegrass screenings

Creator:: Snyder, Fred Roland
Abstract:: This study was conducted to investigate the production and processing technology of common ryegrass screenings and to determine the nutritive value of these screenings for sheep. The animal response to them was assessed when the sheep were fed on the screenings alone and in combination with other feedstuffs. Four in...

Models relating camping to river terrace characteristics along the Rogue Scenic Waterway

Creator:: Pfister, Robert E.
Abstract:: The degree to which camping is related to selected characteristics of river terraces along the Rogue Waterway, Oregon has been analyzed. Previous attempts to formulate models relating campsite choice to characteristics of the natural environment focused on camping parties engaged in auto-camping and the aggregate population behavior rather than on...

An economic evaluation of yield grade standards for Canadian carcass beef

Creator:: Dawson, Oliver Glenn
Abstract:: The basic objective of this thesis was to estimate the economic effects of yield grade standards for carcass beef on the various market sectors of the Canadian beef industry. The adoption of the standards was expected to enhance consumer demand, improve efficiency within the processing and marketing services sectors, and...

Quantitative trait locus analysis of agronomic and malting quality traits in the Harrington x Morex barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mapping population

Creator:: Marquez-Cedillo, Luis A.
Abstract:: Characterization of the determinants of economically important phenotypes showing complex inheritance should lead to more effective use of genetic resources. This study was conducted to determine the number, genome location and effects of QTLs determining malting quality and agronomic traits in the two North American barley quality standards. Using a...
