Light Transmittance Properties of Biological Tissues of the Red-sided Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis, Between 450 and 850 Nanometers

Creator:: Bixby, Eric M.
Abstract:: Using a spectrometer and photomultiplier tube, I measured the electromagnetic radiation transmittance properties of three types of tissue-- ventral skin, cardiac muscle, and liver tissue--in the red-sided garter snake Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis between the wavelengths of 450 and 850 nanometers (nm). Control readings were taken using a 10⁻² neutral density...

Effects of caustic addition on black liquor rheology and thermal characteristics

Creator:: Euhus, Daniel D.
Abstract:: An important by-product of the kraft pulping process, black liquor is currently used in most pulp mills to produce steam in a recovery boiler. Two important black liquor characteristics are viscosity and burning (firing) characteristics, which determine the operating efficiency of the recovery boiler. Kraft black liquor is a complicated...

Soil biological, chemical, and physical dynamics during transition to non-thermal residue grass-seed management systems

Creator:: Barry, Amanda Nell
Abstract:: Legislation to reduce the annual limit of field burning in Oregon has led to increased study of alternative non-thermal grass-seed management methods. Of these methods, non-thermal residue management, in combination with crop rotations and different tillage practices, offer potential to equal or exceed crop production of conventional thermal production systems....

An investigation of cultural cohesion and value divergence in a community bank

Creator:: Payne, Bryce M.
Abstract:: Interest in organizational culture has grown enormously over the last twenty years and much effort has gone into investigating the relationship between organizational culture and performance. Because most research to date has focused on large organizations, we chose to investigate the culture in a community bank undergoing a cultural transformation....

The effects of nitrogen, tillage and irrigation on the color of Willamette Valley Pinot noir wine

Creator:: Helms, Kelly L.
Abstract:: Various vineyard practices influence the quality of a wine. In 1999, three levels of nitrogen (N), two levels of tillage and two levels of irrigation were applied to Pinot noir grape cultivars at Benton Lane Vineyards in the Southern Willamette Valley. N treatments were zero, soil and foliar applications. Every...

The Neutron Capture Cross Section of ²⁰⁸Pb

Creator:: Lambert, Miriam
Abstract:: In this project we measure the neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁸Pb. We began by calibrating our silicon detector with ²⁰⁴Tl. Two experiments were then performed, the first in December of 1999 and the second in March of 2000. Both experiments were performed in the nuclear reactor of the Radiation...

Micropropagation of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in a double-phase culture medium

Creator:: Gross, Leah M.
Abstract:: The timber and Christmas tree industries are important components of the Pacific Northwest economy. A goal of both industries is to produce high quality trees with high growth rates. Accomplishing this requires increased genetic quality of the trees grown. Tissue culture provides the most promise for propagating these superior genotypes....

The utility of playfulness in terms of innovation and productivity for business and a life of learning

Creator:: Adams, Jason S.
Abstract:: The purpose of this project was to investigate play and our cultural assumptions as to its usefulness or lack there of. The concepts of hard work versus hard play were explored in order to discover when human beings are operating at their best. In terms of innovation and productivity in...

Physiological responses of cyanolichens to photosynthetic partners

Creator:: Bichel, Govardhana Puja
Abstract:: While previous experiments on the physiological activity of primary and secondary cyanolichens have been done, an analysis of photomorphs has never been attempted. Photomorphs of Peltigera britannica (Gyelnik) Hotan-Hartw. & Tonsberg were studied to compare the physiological response of a primary cyanolichen to an additional symbiotic partner (green algea) while...

Direct-seeded cucurbit cultivation in Oregon and tropical South America

Creator:: McCombs, Avery
Abstract:: Cucurbits are grown in production agriculture in Oregon as well as in smallholder agriculture in tropical South America. Experimental research was performed at the OSU Research Farm in 2001 with direct-seeded cucurbits, and literature reviews were conducted to develop a characterization of smallholder farming in tropical South America. The two...
