Patterns of water resource decision-making: minimum stream flows in the Willamette Basin

Creator:: Griffith, Glenn Edwin
Abstract:: Oregon's minimum stream flow program is intended to protect certain instream flow values by maintaining sufficient stream flows to support aquatic life and to minimize pollution. The increasing demand for consumptive uses of water, as well as certain deficiencies in the laws, policies, and administration of the program, bring into...

Machine Learning Methods for the Discovery and Analysis of MicroRNAs

Creator:: Bell, Jimmy D.
Abstract:: MicroRNAs are a highly conserved class of small endogenous RNA, about ~22nt in length, involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing and have prominent roles in disease and development. Though the process of microRNA discovery was once an arduous task, the advent of high throughput sequencing technology has resulted in novel microRNAs...

Evaluation of alternative information signs in Oregon

Creator:: Neill, Justin Michael
Abstract:: The number of international inbound tourists to the United States has risen steadily. To serve these and other tourists best, traffic signs need to communicate information correctly across a potential language barrier. Of particular interest is the traffic sign intended to communicate directions to Tourist Information centers. While the general...

Investigation of cis-acting RNA element role in bovine viral diarrhea virus replication

Creator:: Ly, David
Abstract:: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. The BVDV genome is about 12.5 kb long and consists of a single open reading frame (ORF) flanked by untranslated regions at the 5' and 3' ends (5'-UTR and 3'- UTR, respectively). To investigate the role of cis-sequences...

Mid-Nineteenth Century Clay Smoking Pipes from Fort Hoskins (35BE15) and Fort Yamhill (35PO75), Oregon

Creator:: Zentgraf, Diane M.
Abstract:: Over the past 42 years clay smoking pipes have been excavated from two U.S. army posts, Fort Hoskins (35BE15) and Fort Yamhill (35PO75) and curated at Oregon State University. These two forts were established in Western Oregon in 1856 and by 1866 both had been decommissioned. Numerous theses have focused...

Landsliding processes occurring on a McDonald-Dunn Forest hillslope

Creator:: Shively, David D.
Abstract:: Landslide processes occurring on a hillslope in McDonald-Dunn Forest on the eastern slope of the Oregon Coastal Range are described in terms of type, magnitude. minimum age and site characteristics. Debris flows and debris avalanches are the dominant types of slope movement occurring in the study area. Landslide events classified...

Comparing Migratory Patterns and Survival Between Wild and Wild Fish Surrogate Juvenile Spring Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Pollock, Amanda M. M.
Abstract:: Anadromous salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest have declined over the past 150 years. In 1999, wild spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were federally listed as threatened within the Willamette Basin, OR. Currently, practices to restore wild populations in the upper Willamette Basin involve trapping wild adults at the base...

Susceptibility of juvenile salmonids to avian predation : Are Caspian terns and double-crested cormorants only taking the sick and injured?

Creator:: Hostetter, Nathan J.
Abstract:: The ability to non-destructively assess fish condition and subsequently track fish behavior and survival can be vital in understanding natural and anthropogenic stressors and sources of mortality, especially in populations of fish listed as threatened or endangered. I investigated the use of a quick, non-lethal, external examination technique to assess...

Thirty-four Kilometers and Fifteen Years : Rapid Adaptation at a Novel Chromosomal Inversion in Recently Introduced Deschutes River Three-spined Stickleback

Creator:: Hemstrom, William
Abstract:: Rapid adaptation and evolution based on standing genetic variation and novel mutations is likely to be one of the primary ways that species survive the widespread anthropogenic environmental changes expected of the next century. Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) are known to be capable of extremely quick, dramatic adaptation in response...

Novel methods for crop load management of pear cultivars in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Arrington, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Novel approaches to crop load management of pear orchards in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are necessary, but will need to vary according to the unique vegetative and reproductive growth habits of the cultivar. 'D'Anjou' is vigorous and non-precocious; thus, strategies to limit vigor and induce early fruiting are required. In...
