The effect of fire regime on coarse woody debris in the west central Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Wright, Pamela J.
Abstract:: This study examined the effect of fire regime on coarse woody debris (CWD) mass using a combination of field data and modeling. The objectives were to use field sampling to determine how CWD differs between two areas that have had different fire regimes, and investigate how fire frequency and severity,...

Electrofishing mark-recapture and depletion methodologies evoke behavioral and physiological changes in cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki)

Creator:: Mesa, Matthew G.
Abstract:: We examined the behavioral and physiological responses of wild and hatchery-reared cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki subjected to a single electroshock, electroshock plus marking, and multiple electroshocking in natural and artificial streams. In a natural stream, trout released after capture by electrofishing and marking showed distinct behavioral changes: fish immediately sought...

Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

Creator:: Hammond, Ellen L.
Abstract:: I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

Developing a Strategic Conservation Project for the Oregon Coast Aquarium

Creator:: Prendergast, Lisa D.
Abstract:: This study developed a strategic conservation project for the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon focusing on a signature species and this aquarium’s conservation focus areas (i.e., marine debris, sustainable fisheries, water quality, climate change). This study also examined the potential for incorporating an ecotourism or wildlife tourism component to...

Antimicrobial properties of a wine based disinfectant

Creator:: Waite, Joy G.
Abstract:: Wine has recently been shown to be a possible protective agent against microbial foodbome illness. The chemical environment of wine makes it difficult, if not impossible, for microorganisms to survive. The low pH, high concentration of organic acids, relatively high ethanol concentrations, and the potential for high levels of sulfur...

The roles of environmental constraints and aggression on male-female pairing in the coral-reef fish Gobiosoma evelynae

Creator:: Harding, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Early theoretical models for the evolution of male-female pairing were based largely on studies of birds. These models assumed that biparental care of eggs and young was an essential component of pairing. However, male-female pairing is also a relatively common social system in coral-reef fishes, and biparental care of young...

A comparison of two neuropsychological concussion assessment batteries

Creator:: Padilla, Diana M.
Abstract:: Objectives: To compare the neuropsychological concussion assessment testing batteries of the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC™) test and the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT™) test and determine if the tests measure similar neuropsychological functions as well as determine the test-retest reliability of the pre and post season measures...

Antimicrobial effects of wine on enteric pathogens in a model stomach

Creator:: Just, Jessica R.
Abstract:: There have been several epidemiological studies linking alcohol consumption to a decreased risk of contracting illness from foodborne bacterial contamination. To study this phenomenon, we examined the survival of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium in grape juice and wine and then designed a model stomach to investigate the effect...

Performance in static, dynamic, and clinical tests of postural control in individuals with functional ankle instability

Creator:: Nakagawa, Lyn H.
Abstract:: Objectives: To evaluate postural control in individuals with functional ankle instability using static, dynamic, and clinical balance tests. Also, to examine the relationships between the performances in each of these tests. Design: Postural control was evaluated with a single leg balance test, a balance test involving movement, and the star...

The use of lysozyme in winemaking : the interaction of lysozyme with wine and efficacy in preventing malolactic fermentation in Oregon Pinot noir and Chardonnay

Creator:: Green, Jeffery L.
Abstract:: Hen egg white lysozyme is a hydrolytic enzyme effective at preventing the growth of Gram positive bacteria by degrading the bacterial cell wall to a point of cell lysis. Investigating lysozyme as a processing tool in wine to control the growth of lactic acid bacteria and malolactic fermentation has significant...
