The effects of growth rate and cambial age on wood properties of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) and Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana Dougl.)

Creator:: Lei, Hua
Abstract:: This study was to investigate effects of growth rate and cambial age on properties of wood from two increasingly used hardwood species, red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) and Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana Dougl.), for better understanding factors affecting wood quality in hardwoods. Thirty 7-year-old trees grown at widely varying...

Isolation and characterization of a larval crustacean salt gland from the brine shrimp Artemia salina

Creator:: Lowy, Robert Joel
Abstract:: A method for isolating the salt gland (SG) from the larval brine shrimp has been developed. This extra-renal organ is removed from 5-10% of Stage Inauplii by vortexing after incubating the animals at 37°C for 8 hours in a saline solution buffered with 100 mM sodium phosphate at pH 7.6....

Effects of prescribed cattle grazing on reforestation in Oregon's southern Cascades

Creator:: Karl, Michael G.
Abstract:: Reforesting harvested lands in southwestern Oregon has been difficult because of low rainfall, high evaporative demand, and competitive understory vegetation. Herbicides have been a preferred method to control competing vegetation but herbicide use on federal lands was curtailed in 1984. As a result, interest in livestock grazing as a vegetation...

Selenium effects and species differences in hepatic metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and other xenobiotics

Creator:: Shull, Lee R.
Abstract:: The metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and other drugs was studied with regard to nutritional status and species differences. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are biotransformed to severely toxic metabolites were isolated from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea). Semi-purified alkaloid crystals containing five alkaloids (senecionine, seneciophylline, jacobine, jacoline, and jacozine) were prepared and found...

Gaseous electron-diffraction investigations : I. Development of high-temperature nozzles : II. Molecular structure and barrier to internal rotation of diboron tetrafluoride and diboron tetrabromide : III. Molecular structure and composition of 2,3-butanedione and oxalyl chloride at high temperature

Creator:: Danielson, Donald Delbert
Abstract:: The design and construction of two new sample injection systems or nozzles, for use with the Oregon State electron diffraction apparatus are discussed. One of these nozzles was intended for use with volatile samples the vapors of which were to be heated or cooled over the range -196 to 540°C;...

Foodservice systems management competencies of Korean dietitians

Creator:: Yoon, Ji-young
Abstract:: Foodservice systems management (FSM) has had impact on the role of dietitians, not only in the United States (US), but also in Korea. The purpose of the study was: (1) to delineate and identify the acceptable FSM competencies for Korean dietitians (KDs), (2) to identify factors which influenced the Korean...

All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...

System model of a natural circulation integral test facility

Creator:: Galvin, Mark Robert, 1967-
Abstract:: The Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NE/RHP) at Oregon State University (OSU) has been developing an innovative modular reactor plant concept since being initiated with a Department of Energy (DoE) grant in 1999. This concept, the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR), is an integral pressurized water...

Endocrine regulation of final oocyte maturation and sex differentiation in salmonids

Creator:: Fitzpatrick, Martin S.
Abstract:: Sexual maturation and sex differentiation comprise facets of a common theme: reproduction. The endocrine system regulates many of the critical physiological processes necessary for reproduction and offers a framework within which technologies can be developed for controlling sexual maturation and sex differentiation. The studies described in this thesis were undertaken...

Nitrogen partitioning and remobilization in field-grown apple trees

Creator:: Khemira, Habib
Abstract:: Uptake and cycling of nitrogen (N) in mature trees are not well understood. Fertilizer-N uptake, partitioning, and use-efficiency were studied in standard strain 'Topred Delicious' and spur strain 'Redspur Delicious' mature apple trees {Malus domestica Borck) on 'Malling 7A' (M.7A) rootstocks. The treatments consisted of a ground application in spring,...
