Degradation kinetics of taxol using mass spectroscopy

Creator:: Zhang, Jun
Abstract:: Paclitaxel is a very important anticancer drug commonly called Taxol®. We know from previous work (Hoffman, et al., 1998) that Taxol exists in filbert, Corylus avellana L. material. Quantification of Taxol in filbert plant material is painstaking and hitherto was accomplished by rapidly processing single batches in a complicated procedure...

Nursery container weeds response to modification of substrate pH, substrate particle size and applied nitrogen form

Creator:: Wada, Sugae
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of cultural management practices on weed growth in nursery containers. Experiments 1 and 2 evaluated the effects of dolomitic lime rate and application method on substrate pH, creeping woodsorrel (Oxalis corniculata L.) establishment in containers, and growth of azalea (Rhododendron ‘Rosebud’) and pieris...

White-breasted nuthatch density and nesting ecology in oak woodlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Viste-Sparkman, Karen
Abstract:: Habitat loss causes a reduction in available resources for wildlife, alters the configuration of remaining habitat, and may isolate wildlife populations. White-breasted nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) are experiencing long-term population declines in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where they are historically associated with oak woodlands. As secondary cavity-nesters, white-breasted nuthatches may...

Hydrogeologic field investigation and groundwater flow model of the southern Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Craner, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: Elevated groundwater nitrate (NO3 -) concentrations in the Southern Willamette Valley (SWV) caused the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) to declare a Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) in Spring, 2004. To better understand direction of groundwater flow, groundwater age, and nitrate transport pathways of the SWV we developed a steady-state...

Behavioral responses of Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance

Creator:: Naylor, Leslie M.
Abstract:: I measured responses of free-ranging Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, Oregon from April to October, 2003 and 2004. Resting, feeding, and travel activities of 13 cow elk were recorded at 5-minute intervals using Actiwatch™ motion sensors. Elk were subjected to four...

Community-based sea turtle monitoring and management at Helen Reef, Hatohobei State, Republic of Palau

Creator:: Barr, Julie M.
Abstract:: Remote areas are frequently homes to regional subpopulations of endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their essential habitat. Local communities are often the users and primary stewards of this valuable and charismatic resource. Recognizing this, a Hatohobeian community group in Palau has engaged in longterm monitoring and conservation management...

Identifying candidate genes associated with cold adaptation in Douglas-fir using DNA microarrays

Creator:: Howe, Dana Kathryn
Abstract:: In forest trees from temperate and boreal regions, cold acclimation is an important adaptive trait that involves changes in gene expression and physiology. Genecological, quantitative genetic, and QTL studies have been used to study the genetics of cold acclimation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), but the genes responsible for...

Early Oligocene intrusions in the central Coast Range of Oregon : petrography, geochemistry, geochronology and implications for the Tertiary magmatic evolution of the Cascadia forearc

Creator:: Oxford, Jeremiah
Abstract:: The Early Oligocene Oregon Coast Range Intrusions (OCRI) consist of gabbroic rocks and lesser alkalic intrusive bodies that were emplaced in marine sedimentary units and volcanic sequences within a Tertiary Cascadia forearc basin. The alkalic intrusions include nepheline syenite, camptonite, and alkaline basalt. The gabbros occur as dikes and differentiated...

Cellular events conditioned by the Np gene of Pisum sativum L. in response to reduced UV light, weevil oviposition, and bruchins

Creator:: Ketter, Ann P.
Abstract:: In Pisum, the Np gene conditions two mitotic responses - to bruchid weevil oviposition on the pod and to reduced UV light. Oviposition by the weevil results in tumorous or neoplastic growth under the egg. Biochemically active compounds, called bruchins, were isolated from two bruchid insects (Doss et al, 2000)....

Plant community dynamics in remnant and restored Willamette Valley wetland prairies

Creator:: Schwindt, Rachel A.
Abstract:: Invasion by exotic species can pose a major challenge for developing native plant communities in wetland restoration projects. Often native plant communities do not develop as anticipated in restored wetlands due to colonization by exotic species that dominate the native plant community. Despite the time and expense to restore wetlands,...
