Optimizing HIV Treatment in Resource-Limited Settings

Creator:: Akudibillah, Gordon Amed
Abstract:: Apart from the traditional role of preventing progression from HIV to AIDS, antiretroviral drug therapy (ART) has an additional benefit of substantially reducing infectiousness, making them potentially an important strategy in the fight against HIV. Recent advances in drug therapy have also seen the use of antiretroviral drugs as a...

A study of the global convergence properties of Newton's method

Creator:: Celarier, Donald Allen
Abstract:: A construct is developed which is useful in the investigation of the global convergence properties of Newton's method. This construct is used to study the application of Newton's method to polynomials. A proof that Newton's method converges almost globally for polynomials with only real zeroes is extended to a larger...

Ascorbylation- the biological relevance of covalently bound ascorbic acid

Creator:: Kesinger, Nicholas G.
Abstract:: Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is well known as a co-factor for proline-hydroxylase and as an anti-oxidant. However, it is also capable of forming covalent bonds, particularly in the role of a nucleophile, henceforth termed 'ascorbylation'. The ascorbylation of electrophiles can occur under physiological conditions. Furthermore, there are a number...

Meta-sedimentary bedrock as an alternative source of water for forest ecosystems in a Mediterranean climate

Creator:: Zwieniecki, Maciej A.
Abstract:: Evaluation of meta-sedimentary bedrock as a source of stored water available to plants in a mediterranean climate is presented based on: root length distribution (RLD), root morphology, rock water holding capacity and seasonal pattern of water depletion. Studies were performed in southwestern Oregon under young stands of whiteleaf manzanita, ponderosa...

Early survival and growth response of five species of Pinus to plant competition and aspect in southwest Oregon and northeast Mexico

Creator:: Capo-Arteaga, Miguel A.
Abstract:: The effect of forest shrub vegetation on soil moisture, temperatures evaporation potentials and the survivals growth and bud activity of five species of Pinus was studied on planting sites placed on opposite exposures on two locations in southwest Oregon and northeast Mexico. Treatments applied were: Manual slashing; Manual slashing plus...

Photosynthetic response models for a terrestrial plant community

Creator:: Webb, Warren Lewis, 1935-
Abstract:: Photosynthetic response to light and temperature was modeled using data from a small red alder (Alnus rubra B. ) community growing in a controlled environment chamber linked to the computer. This new system controls air temperature, root temperature, and vapor pressure over a wide range, and both light intensity and...

The role of droplet size, concentration, spray volume, and canopy architecture in herbicide application efficiency

Creator:: Richardson, Brian
Abstract:: To improve the efficiency of herbicide applications, each stage of the spray application process must be considered. Two of these stages, the process of spray deposition within plant canopies and the influence of the form of the spray deposit on efficacy were investigated. The effect of droplet size, spray volume,...

The metabolic pathways and physiological effects of atrazine in Douglas-fir seedlings

Creator:: Peterson, Charles Adrian
Abstract:: Herbicides are being used as a tool by forest managers to speed the restocking of sites where tree seedlings face competition from grasses for limited moisture, light and nutrients. Retarded growth or, more commonly, death of the seedlings would occur if a selective herbicide was not used to control competing...

Growth and development of young Douglas-fir in relation to intra- and inter-specific competition

Creator:: Zedaker, Sheperd M.
Abstract:: This thesis explored the relationships between the growth of Douglas-fir seedlings and light and moisture resource availability as influenced by competitor type and density in the Oregon Coast Range. Twelve 360 m2 Nelder plots, encompassing a range of 300 to 15,000 cm2 per plant in 48 spokes, were established in...
