A physical and chemical characterization of stream water draining three Oregon Coast Range catchments

Creator:: Hale, V. Cody
Abstract:: Few studies have examined both long-term and fine-scale spatial variations in water quality of small streams in the Pacific Northwest. As such, a case study was conducted to determine if current physical and chemical properties of water in three streams located in the Oregon Coast Range differed from historically measured...

Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

Creator:: Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)
Abstract:: In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...

Culture built upon the land : a predictive model of nineteenth-century Canadien/Métis farmsteads.

Creator:: Hebert, James Michael
Abstract:: The objective of this thesis is to provide a predictive model for the archaeological investigation of the first farmsteads in the Pacific Northwest, established in the early- and mid-nineteenth century by Canadien and Métis families retiring from their service in the fur trade. Past studies of this population have either...

Habitat use, movement, and life history variation of coastal cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii, in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Krentz, Lisa K.
Abstract:: Anadromous coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii may be highly dependent on estuaries, passing through them multiple times during their lifetime. However, few studies have investigated estuarine use by coastal cutthroat trout and it is often thought that estuaries serve primarily as migration corridors rather than rearing areas. We used...

Temporal and spatial variability of groundwater nitrate in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Mutti, Jeffrey Glenn
Abstract:: Groundwater nitrate contamination is a well-documented issue in the Southern Willamette Valley (SWV) of Oregon, as a Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) has recently been declared. As a GWMA, groundwater nitrate monitoring must occur until regional concentrations are below 7 mg/L NO3-N. However, the presence of temporal variability can make it...

Getting to local information : the role of different costs

Creator:: Rajaram, Vidya
Abstract:: Finding information can cost a significant amount of time, even when the information is already stored on the user’s local computer system. There is significant research aimed at reducing these time costs, but little research into exactly what these costs are or how they impact people’s use of tools and...

Who's afraid of a little nitrate? : discovering impediments and incentives in following best management practices related to water quality within the southern Willamette Valley groundwater management area

Creator:: Rolston, Irene
Abstract:: Thesis summarizes interviews with growers residing within the Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) in the Southern Willamette Valley of Oregon. Informal and semi-structured interviews were used to identify perceived impediments and incentives perceived by local farmers in following best management practices related to water quality. Results from the interviews were coded...

Biosynthetic studies of fungal diterpene antibiotics

Creator:: Yao, Qingmei
Abstract:: The isoprenoid pathway is one of the major biosynthetic pathways of secondary metabolites. Isoprenoids with a C₂₀ skeleton are known as diterpenoids and are derived from the common precursor, geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP). This dissertation describes approaches to discover the diterpene synthase enzymes which provide the backbone structures for pleuromutilin and...

Imagining Kenya in Ngugi's fiction

Creator:: Prasansak, Ram
Abstract:: The relationship between literature and nation-building has been one of the most crucial issues in postcolonial studies. The novel in particular is regarded as a means by which writers forge national consciousness among the colonized during the time of colonization. Many African writers themselves, for example, conceive of their work...

Giving color to Oregon's gray water market : an analysis of price determinants for water right

Creator:: Landry, Clay J.
Abstract:: Many parts of the West are experiencing substantial growth pressures that have increased the demand for water. These new demands come at a time when most of the water in the West has been fully appropriated by traditional uses such as agriculture, mining, and industry. Some attempts are being made...
