Change detection of land cover in a meadow landscape : the“Ranches” meadow, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Carl G.
Abstract:: From a landscape ecology perspective, meadows are often seen as landscapes in transition. Succession and change in meadows may be investigated by considering the physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the landscape through time. What is often unknown is how changes occur and how physical and anthropogenic factors contribute to...

An analysis of consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products

Creator:: Anderson, Roy Carl
Abstract:: Historically, researchers have used surveys, focus groups, and anecdotal evidence to evaluate consumer response to environmentally certified, ecolabeled forest products. These methods generally measure consumer attitudes toward certified forest products. Since the strength of the correlation between attitudes and behavior has long been questioned, consumer response to certified forest products...

Potential for dispersal of the non-native parasite Myxobolus cerebralis : qualitative risk assessments for the state of Alaska and the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Arsan, E. Leyla
Abstract:: First introduced to the USA in 1958, Myxobolus cerebralis, the parasite responsible for whirling disease in salmonids, has since spread across the country causing severe declines in wild trout populations in the intermountain west. Recent development of risk assessment models used to assess the likelihood and consequences of exotic parasite...

Automatic program generation for scientific computing

Creator:: Fu, Zhe
Abstract:: The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

Post-eruption recovery and secondary production of grazing insects in two streams near Mt. St. Helens

Creator:: Meyerhoff, Richard Dietrich
Abstract:: The eruption of Mt. St. Helens provided the opportunity to study secondary production of grazing insects in the context of disturbance. Two stream sites were chosen that significantly differed in how their watersheds were impacted by the eruption. Clearwater Creek was catastrophically disturbed (physical alteration of habitat, loss of riparian...

The role of competition, community, and priority in the discovery of the tau lepton

Creator:: Swanner, Leandra
Abstract:: This study examines the interactions between the scientific communities of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the discovery of the tau lepton by physicist Martin Perl between 1973- 1977. Perl became interested in searching for heavy leptons through positron-electron collision experiments using the...

Neural gene expression profiling in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) of alternate run times

Creator:: Bernier, Jeremiah C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) display the greatest variability of return times to freshwater of all Pacific salmon. Differential return times to freshwater have segregated populations of Chinook into two broad types or runs, fall and spring, named for the time of year in which they migrate to freshwater. Migration time...

Providing long-term funding for watershed management : an evaluation of strategies for the Coquille Watershed Association

Creator:: Anderson, Laura
Abstract:: Salmon restoration has become a major priority in the Pacific Northwest. In the State of Oregon, much of the responsibility for habitat restoration has fallen on local watershed councils, with the majority of their funding coming from state and federal grants. Funding limitations, including the amount of funds allotted to...

Some effects of testosterone on cichlid fish, Cichlosoma bimaculatum (Linnaeus)

Creator:: Heitz, David Carl
Abstract:: The effects of testosterone were studied on the tropical fish, Cichlasoma bimaculatum. Growth experiments were designed to determine how testosterone influenced the food consumption and growth of fish. Starvation experiments were designed to show the effects of testosterone on the basal rate of utilization of body energy stores and to...

Quantitative determination of emerging contaminants, solvent stabilizers and fullerene nanomaterials, in biological and environmental systems

Creator:: Isaacson, Carl W.
Abstract:: To determine the impact of emerging environmental contaminants on human and environmental health, quantitative analytical methods are required. Analysis of emerging contaminants is hampered by their widely varying physical-chemical properties. Therefore quantitative analytical methods must be developed to determine the behavior of emerging contaminants in environmental systems. A quantitative analytical...
