R&D investment and productivity in the U.S. and Canadian food processing sectors

Creator:: Chan-Kang, Connie
Abstract:: Increased competition brought about by trade liberalization has raised the stakes for improving productivity in U.S. and Canadian food processing. A key element of productivity growth is technological change, which in turn results from R&D investment. The present study employs an econometric model to assess rates of technological change and...

The Environmental, Economic, and Social Factors that Contribute to the Importance of the Pacific Razor Clam (Siliqua patula) Fishery for Oregon Coastal Communities: A Northern Oregon Case Study

Creator:: Baker, Laura C.
Abstract:: Pacific razor clams (Siliqua patula) are narrow oblong bivalves that can be found in sandy habitats along the western coast of the United States, from Alaska (Aleutian Islands) to southern California (Pismo Beach). In Washington state, the razor clam fishery has been documented to be an important contributor to the...

Soil compaction in central Oregon volcanic ash soils and the subsequent effects on residual ponderosa pine growth

Creator:: Parker, Robert T.
Abstract:: Although previous research in central Oregon has shown soil compaction can lead to a decline in site productivity, the subject is not understood well enough to predict the growth changes resulting from a given level of soil compaction. A study was initiated to relate the basal area, height and volume...

MCNP 6 Simulations of Short-Lived, Low-Yield Fission Byproducts, Gamma-Ray Spectrometry, and their Comparison to Natural Uranium Measurements for the Evaluation of Available Evaluated Nuclear Data Files

Creator:: Jeffries, Tanner D.
Abstract:: Natural uranium samples were irradiated in-core for 7 seconds using the pneumatic rabbit system within the TRIGA Mark II Reactor at Oregon State University, and then used to generate a gamma-ray spectrum with a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The irradiated sample was simulated in Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP), a...

Design of a chemiluminescence photometer and its application to trace chromium (III) analysis

Creator:: Hoyt, Steven D.
Abstract:: The design and construction of a chemiluminescence photometer is described. The design is based on a discrete sample system which has a number of advantages over the previously described flow cell system and centrifugal analyzer. The advantages include simple and inexpensive equipment, small sample size, versatile electronic readout system, and...

The influence of herbivore generated inputs on nutrient cycling and soil processes in a lower montane tropical rain forest of Puerto Rico

Creator:: Fonte, Steven J.
Abstract:: The role of insect herbivores in the nutrient cycling dynamics of forest ecosystems remains poorly understood. Although past research in herbivory has focused primarily on the deleterious effects that insects can have on tree growth and mortality, the overall effects of herbivory are more complex. Herbivores have the potential to...

Structural effects on Arthrobacter ATCC 25581 methylene hydroxylase activity

Creator:: Hayasaka, Steven Shin
Abstract:: Arthrobacter ATCC 25581, capable of subterminal oxidation of n-hexadecane to 2-, 3-, and 4- alcoholic and ketonic products, was examined for the ability of this methylene hydroxylase capability to be induced and repressed, and for structural relationships influencing methylene function oxidation. Induction was best carried out by use of n-alkanes...
