Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Acuna, Mauricio A.
Abstract:: There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it is an excellent predictor of strength, stiffness, hardness, and paper-making capacities. Accurately assessing...

Norbert Wiener and the growth of negative feedback in scientific explanation : with a proposed research program of "cybernetic analysis"

Creator:: Hellman, Walter Daniel
Abstract:: Negative feedback has become ubiquitous in science both as a technique and as a conceptual tool. As a technique, negative feedback has a long history; devices based in its use were made in antiquity. It has only been during the last century, however, that rigorous quantitiative methods have become associated...

Geneticist L.C. Dunn : politics, activism, and community

Creator:: Gormley, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
Abstract:: L. C. Dunn (1893-1974) spent most of his scientific career conducting research in developmental genetics as a member of the Zoology Department at Columbia University in the City of New York. He had an accomplished scientific career researching mutations in mice, which earned him respect from other geneticists and scientists....

Biology of sweet cherry powdery mildew

Creator:: Calabro, Jill M.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest has become one of the nation’s premier sweet cherry, Prunus avium, production areas. As production of sweet cherries has flourished in Oregon and Washington, so has powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Podosphaera clandestina, which infects both foliage and fruit causing severe economic damage to growers. Sweet...

Academic libraries at the center of instructional change : Faculty and librarian experience of library leadership in the transformation of teaching and learning

Creator:: Gilchrist, Debra L.
Abstract:: This phenomenological inquiry explored the experiences of library leaders and discipline faculty members engaging in a collaborative instructional change initiative focused on a process-based learning pedagogy and led by an academic library. The investigation’s purpose was providing insight and understanding concerning the: (a) library’s role in instructional leadership; (b) experience...

Control of alkane monooxygenase activity and expression in Pseudomonas butanovora

Creator:: Doughty, David M.
Abstract:: The regulation of monooxygenase enzymes has been demonstrated in bacteria that grow on methane and long chain-length alkanes (>C10). Less is known about monooxygenase regulation in short chain alkane oxidizing bacteria that grow on intermediate chain-length alkanes C2-C10. This dissertation focuses on the regulation of butane monooxygenase (BMO) expression and...

Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:: Sanford, Eric (Eric David)
Abstract:: The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...

Some potential mechanisms for finely-tuned regulation of phospholipase C-β isozymes : studies of dimerization and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate activation

Creator:: Zhang, Yong
Abstract:: Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...

Consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping

Creator:: Kim, Mi-Jung
Abstract:: The purpose of the present study was to determine consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping. According to the existing literature, four categories of perceptions play primary roles for apparel shopping consumer decisions: apparel appearance, apparel comfort, fabric characteristics, and apparel fit. The present study aimed to observe how...

In-forest log segregation based on acoustic measurement of wood stiffness

Creator:: Amishev, Dzhamal Y.
Abstract:: To remain competitive, the forest products industry needs to look for new and innovative processes and technologies to not only reduce costs but also to recover more value through the entire seedling-to-customer forest products supply chain. It is well recognized that measuring wood properties of logs in real time during...
