  • Barriers to Community Involvement across Rural and Urban Communities

    Creator:
    Torgerson, Melissa
    Abstract:
    Many communities emphasize participatory involvement in local development or reinvention efforts. Recognizing barriers among specific groups could help community leaders identify what may be constraining underrepresented groups from joining in. Utilizing data from the Social Capital Benchmark Survey, this research examined identified “barriers” to community involvement among individuals in rural...

  • Man and the land : an ecological history of fire and grazing on eastern Oregon rangelands

    Creator:
    Shinn, Dean Allison
    Abstract:
    Ecological and historical information are combined in examining the environmental influence of fire and grazing on rangelands in eastern Oregon through time. Competitive relationships between herbaceous and woody flora in the northern Great Basin are discussed, focusing broadly on the shrubsteppe regions 'of Franklin and Dyrness (1973) but with special...

  • Publicly Funded, Privately Assisted : The Role of Giving in Oregon K-12 Education

    Creator:
    Sattem, Jennifer L.
    Abstract:
    In Oregon, property tax revolts and school equalization measures have led to increasingly unstable and more non-discretionary public funding for schools. As a result, public schools are turning to private donations to provide both basic and supplemental educational opportunities. Some schools and districts are raising hundreds of thousands of dollars,...

  • Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

    Creator:
    Sierra, Carlos Alberto
    Abstract:
    Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...

  • Transcriptional repression by CTIP2, a C2H2 zinc finger protein

    Creator:
    Topark-Ngarm, Acharawan Khamsiritrakul
    Abstract:
    CTIP2, a novel C2H2 zinc finger protein, is a transcriptional repressor that functions by at least two mechanisms. CTIP2 interacts with and stimulates transcriptional repression mediated by COUP-TF family members. CTIP2 also represses transcription independently of COUP-TF proteins by direct, sequence-specific DNA binding activity. CTIP2 has been implicated in lymphoid...
