Effects of fall lifting and long-term freezer storage on ponderosa pine seedling physiology and quality

Creator:: Omi, Steven Katsu
Abstract:: Two-year-old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) seedlings from two Oregon seed sources were lifted three times in the fall, stored below freezing (-1.5°C), and compared to seedlings that were handled conventionally (spring lifting followed by short-term cold storage, 2-4°C). Based on patterns of budbreak in a greenhouse and...

Digital Fourier Holographic Microscopy and Potential Applications Towards the Design of Photodynamic Therapy of Osteosarcoma

Creator:: Rossi, Vincent Michele
Abstract:: This work entails both imaging and therapeutic applications of biomedical optics. In both contexts, an understanding of light transport in tissues is necessary. An overview of optical transport in tissues is given, including scattering theory. Digital Fourier holographic microscopy is introduced and applied as a means of metrology via optical...

Nutritional and managerial considerations for wintering beef cattle in the northern Great Basin

Creator:: Brandyberry, Steven D.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to determine effects of year and season on diet quality of beef cattle grazing northern Great Basin rangelands from 1990 to 1993. Forage quality was high early in the growing season, then declined as seasons progressed (P<.05). Plant chemical composition was higher early in the growing...

Measurement of 239Pu, 237Np, and 238U Fission Product γ Rays

Creator:: Tamashiro, Aaron S.
Abstract:: Fission product yields (FPYs) are used for a wide range of applications including nuclear fission theory, nuclear reactor design, reactor antineutrino anomaly, stellar nucleosynthesis, and nuclear forensics. These applications rely on FPYs that were last evaluated in 1993, which included measurements from all over the world up until 1993. In...

Bridging Ways of Knowing to Model the Dynamics of Fire as an Ecocultural Process on Frequent Fire Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Greenler, Skye M.
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have intensified in many ecosystems across the western United States due to the combined impact of fire exclusion, climate change, and land management practices. However, on many of these landscapes, fire is a fundamental ecological process that has shaped vegetation structural and compositional diversity, ecosystem function, landscape pattern,...

Dynamics and control of continuous crystallizers

Creator:: Leu, Lii-ping
Abstract:: The theoretical analysis of an unseeded, isothermal mixed-suspension mixed-product-removal (MSMPR) crystallizer with a fines trap is developed. The lumped parameter system equations are presented for a homogeneous nucleation and a number-dependent secondary-nucleation model. Linear stability analysis and system simulations are used to investigate the system's dynamic behavior. Modal control algorithms...

Genomics of migration : from marine distributions of salmonids to mechanisms of olfactory and magnetic cue perception for natal homing

Creator:: Bellinger, M. Renee
Abstract:: Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception....

A Microeconomic Analysis of Wildfire Suppression Programs in the Western United States

Creator:: Rossi, David J.
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the microeconomics of forest fire suppression programs. It starts with an inquiry into the causes of increasing shares of public land management budgets devoted to wildland fire suppression in lieu of hazardous fuel reduction or other pre-fire risk mitigation programs. The first two chapters consider competing economic...

Everyday Religious Spiritualities: Navigating Inequalities Through Orientations, Interactions, and Reflexivity

Creator:: Lopez, Andres L.
Abstract:: The research and analysis presented in this dissertation illustrate how individuals enact lived religion as they seek to navigate social inequalities. The enactment of lived religion involves directing attention towards orientations. I use the term orientations in the sense articulated by Ahmed (2004), to allude to how bodies are situated...

Automated decomposition of complex parts for manufacturing with advanced joining processes

Creator:: Massoni, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Recent advancements in joining operations and additive manufacturing now allow complex metal parts to be built up from raw materials, as opposed to being machined down from solid blocks. This not only opens up the design space, but also allows for much more efficient manufacturing. By decomposing a complex part...
