The Clerk’s Tale : literal monstrosities and allegorical problems

Creator:: Brock, Christopher J.
Abstract:: My thesis, entitled “The Clerk’s Tale: Literal Monstrosities and Allegorical Problems,” argues that Chaucer’s Clerk is engaging both sides of a binary system. The Clerk has situated himself in a precarious position between two major schools of thought in the medieval culture, Franciscan and Dominican; the former promotes the will...

Boating in Alaska's Prince William Sound : modeling and assessment of recreational use

Creator:: Wolfe, Phillip E.
Abstract:: This study measures the recreational boating use in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Improved access conditions to the Sound over the last decade coupled with a statewide increase in outdoor recreation participation among both resident and out of state tourists have made the Sound a focal point for recreational boating in...

Variation in communities of ammonia-oxidizing and denitrifying bacteria in Fennoscandian boreal forest soils

Creator:: Ghimire, Rama D.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to examine the variation among ammonia-oxidizing and denitrifying communities in soils of a natural Fennoscandian boreal forest and of a forest with a long history of fertilization with different levels of nitrogen (N), and to examine whether there are any changes in the microbial...

Shear and convective turbulence in a model of thermohaline intrusions

Creator:: Mueller, Rachael
Abstract:: Thermohaline interleaving is an important mechanism for laterally fluxing salt, heat, and nutrients between oceanic water masses. Interleaving is driven by a release of potential energy resulting from the vastly differing diffusivities of heat and salt in seawater. The flows are composed of stacked intrusions that flux more buoyant and...

The Seldovia Bay oil spill, A description of an internship with the NOAA and the hazardous materials response project

Creator:: Ernst, William D.
Abstract:: A student in the Marine Resource Management program is encouraged to select course work in any school and department at Oregon State University. At the same time, the student selects and develops a personalized scientific orientation from the multi-disciplinary curriculum and faculty in the School of Oceanography. Recommended or required...

Studies toward the total synthesis of alkaloids : nagelamide A and D, agelastatin D, dragmacidin A-C, salacin and almazoles

Creator:: Tonsiengsom, Sorasaree
Abstract:: Studies toward the total syntheses of highly potent cytotoxic alkaloids including the bromopyrrole alkaloids and indole alkaloids were conducted and are described. Studies carried out in the course of this dissertation consist of five total syntheses of natural products that include bromopyrrole alkaloids nagelamide A, D and agelastatin D as...

An evaluation of understory vegetation dynamics, ecosystem resilience and state and transition ecological theory in an eastern Oregon ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: Relatively recent increases in ponderosa pine abundance have effected unprecedented changes to ecosystem structure and function. Efforts to restore ponderosa pine systems are often focused on the manipulation of tree structure and the re-introduction of a more natural fire regime. Successful restoration should also incorporate understory components but information addressing...

Four centuries of soil carbon and nitrogen change after severe fire in a Western Cascades forest landscape

Creator:: Giesen, Thomas William
Abstract:: Fire is a major disturbance process in many forests. Long-term studies of the biogeochemical effects of fires, especially on soils, are very rare. Consequently, long-term effects of fire on soils are often hypothesized from short-term effects. In a chronosequence study, I studied 24 western Cascades (Oregon) forest stands thought to...

Structure elucidation of bioactive natural products from Madagascar marine algae and cyanobacteria

Creator:: Andrianasolo, Eric Hajaniriana
Abstract:: This thesis is an investigation of the natural products deriving from marine algae and cyanobacteria and has resulted in the discovery of eleven new secondary metabolites. The structure elucidations of these new molecules were performed using a variety of spectroscopic techniques. Four new macrolides were isolated and characterized from the...

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)....
