Measuring benefits of outdoor recreation services : an application of the household production function approach to the Oregon steelhead sport fishery

Creator:: Strong, Elizabeth J.
Abstract:: This study provides an empirical test of the Bockstael-McConnell (1980) household production function (HPF) framework for evaluating wildlife recreation. This is perhaps the first study in which both taste and technology parameters have been estimated with a theoretical model specification. The results suggest that for steelhead sport fishing in Oregon,...

Understanding the flavor alterations associated with smoke taint and evaluation of interstimulus protocols to mitigate carryover bias in sensory evaluation of wildfire affected wines

Creator:: Fryer, Jenna A.
Abstract:: First recorded as a problem in 2003, wildfire smoke has been found to affect wine grapes and lead to alterations to a wine’s flavor profile. Smoke can carry organic volatile compounds over vast distances, which can then be deposited on grapes and are absorbed into the grape’s cells. These compounds...

Aroma Perception of α-Terpineol and Linalool in Combination with wine monoterpenes found in Pinot gris and Gewürztraminer wines

Creator:: Chigo Hernandez, Mildred Melina
Abstract:: When a person is tasting wine, they first evaluate the appearance and then the aroma. The smell of wine is a crucial part of tasting and the aromas emanating from the wine should be pleasant. Aroma quality perceived in wine is determined by multiple interactions of the components found in...

Student Evaluative Sensemaking on Homework in Intermediate Mechanics

Creator:: Hahn, Kelby T.
Abstract:: Physicists seek to understand the world and often use mathematics to aid in attaining that goal. Thus when doing mathematics they often interrogate their results in order to ensure that they align with their expectations and to gain new insight into how the world works. This seeking of coherence between...

The incidence and duration of breast feeding among women in the greater metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Marshall, Joyce M.
Abstract:: The incidence and duration of breast feeding were determined via telephone questionnaires from a sample of 95 women who delivered healthy infants during the month of September 1982, in the greater metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon. This sample was limited in that the women were married, predominately white, over 25...

Influence of Fermentation Temperature and Nutrient Addition Schedules on Sensory and Chemical Characteristics of Traditional Honey Wine

Creator:: Twilley, John M.
Abstract:: Honey wine, also known as mead, is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known to man. Made primarily from honey, water, and yeast, this beverage has recently been experiencing a resurgence in popularity. It is imperative that commercial producers focus on consistently creating quality products to differentiate themselves from competitors...

Benefits to cerebal palsied children from teaching nutrition and feeding skill development to their mothers

Creator:: Shannon, Kathryn Lee
Abstract:: Seven cerebral palsied children living in the home and their mothers were involved in this study. The mothers attended eight weekly sessions and were instructed in basic nutrition and feeding skill development. A Food and Nutrition Education Curriculum was developed for this instruction. Each of the eight lessons in the...

Provenance, lifespan, and phylogeny : testing a conceptual framework for plant community management

Creator:: Benfield, Cara D.
Abstract:: Successful conservation management requires an understanding of how species respond to intervention. Native and exotic species may respond differently to management interventions due to differences arising directly from their native or exotic origin (i.e., provenance) or from differences in life-history or phylogenetic lineage that are associated with provenance. Thus, selection...

Life-history strategies of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) across a volcanic disturbance gradient at Mount St. Helens, Washington

Creator:: Blackman, Tara Elizabeth
Abstract:: In this study, I examine the influence of habitat gradients created by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington USA on a recently established Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) population in the Spirit Lake basin. My goal was to evaluate the responses of fish in seven streams across a volcanic...

Assessment of black vine weevil larval damage to cranberries and development of alternative control strategies

Creator:: Miller, Elizabeth A. (Elizabeth Ann)
Abstract:: Black vine weevil (BVW), Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius, is a serious pest in cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon. Larvae feeding below the soil surface cause damage to the roots and underground stems. Knowledge is sparse in regard to the damage potential of BVW in Pacific Northwest cranberry beds. Control with insecticides is limited...

Optimization of capillary trapping of CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers, Optimization of capillary trapping of CO₂ sequestration in saline aquifers

Creator:: Harper, Elizabeth J.
Abstract:: Geological carbon sequestration, as a method of atmospheric greenhouse gas reduction, is at the technological forefront of the climate change movement. During sequestration, carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas effluent is captured from coal fired power plants and is injected into a storage saline aquifer or depleted oil reservoir. In an effort...

Litter controls of microbial community composition and function in forest soils

Creator:: Brant, Justin B.
Abstract:: Most carbon (C) transformations in soil are carried out by a diverse and complex soil microbial community. The size and composition of the soil microbial community is determined by poorly understood interactions between the quantity and chemical composition of plant inputs, as well as climate. Given the metabolic diversity of...
