  • Plant community recovery after high severity wildfire and post-fire management in the Klamath Region

    Creator:
    Lopez Ortiz, Maria Jose
    Abstract:
    Disturbance and microclimate interact to play a central role influencing the composition and structure of plant communities. In this thesis, I examined plant community composition and structure twenty years after high severity wildfires with and without post-fire management (salvage logging, fuel treatment, tree planting, and shrub release) under contrasting microclimatic...

  • Deformation imaging

    Creator:
    Margiocco, Marco L.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in the field of clinical echocardiography allow the ultrasonographer to objectively quantify both regional and global myocardial function. Regional deformation (Strain) and deformation rate (Strain Rate) are novel indices of ventricular function that can be estimated non-invasively by ultrasonographic interrogation of the heart. Deformation Imaging (DI)represents a family...

  • Metabolic uncoupling of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, under the presence of excess substrate and 3,3’,4’,5 tetrachlorosalicylanilide

    Creator:
    Saini, Gaurav
    Abstract:
    Dissociation between catabolism and anabolism, generically termed “metabolic uncoupling”, has been studied for aerobic cultures of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Under conditions promoting metabolic uncoupling, the cell yield diminishes while the substrate utilization rate remains largely unchanged. The effects of excess substrate conditions and TCS addition on the metabolism of pyruvate...

  • Marine habitat use of black-footed and Laysan albatrosses during the post-breeding season and their spatial and temporal overlap with commercial fisheries

    Creator:
    Fischer, Karen Naess
    Abstract:
    Incidental bycatch in commercial fisheries has been identified as a threat to black-footed albatrosses (Phoebastria nigripes) and Laysan albatrosses (P. immutabilis). Effective long-term conservation of these albatrosses necessitates a thorough understanding of their marine distribution, which marine habitats are selected during foraging, and where they are most likely to interact...

  • Uranium and technetium bio-immobilization in intermediate-scale physical models of an in situ bio-barrier

    Creator:
    Michalsen, Mandy M.
    Abstract:
    Metal and hydrogen ion acidity and extreme nitrate concentrations typical of Department of Energy (DOE) legacy waste sites pose formidable challenges to successful implementation of in situ bio-immobilization. Intermediate-scale (~ 2.5 m), flow through models of an in situ bio-barrier were constructed to investigate U and Tc removal from groundwater...

  • Marine conservation in Latin America and the Caribbean : an analysis of marine protected areas (MPAs)

    Creator:
    Guarderas, A. Paulina
    Abstract:
    Coastal and marine ecosystems in Latin America and the Caribbean are undergoing a rapid and drastic transformation. Dense human populations are concentrated in coastal areas, leading to increased coastal development, destruction of near-shore habitats, pollution, and overexploitation of marine resources. For most Latin American and Caribbean countries, the deterioration of...

  • Assessing the impact of temperature on grape phenolic metabolism

    Creator:
    Cohen, Seth D.
    Abstract:
    Many climatic factors influence grape berry composition including nutrient status, water availability, biotic stress, sun exposure and temperature. Previous research examined the effects of many factors listed above and much progress has been made. It is often difficult, however, to separate effects that typically confound each other, such as sun...

  • Modeling and development of fabrication method for embedding membrane based microvalve in bulk microfluidic device

    Creator:
    Abhinkar, Bindiya S.
    Abstract:
    PDMS membrane-based microvalves are becoming increasingly more important for the control of fluid flow within MECS applications such as microreactors used to synthesize nanoparticles and biological macromolecules. The motivation for pursuing PDMS membrane-based microvalves is for implementing a plug flow microreactor to simulate slug flow yielding a narrower residence time...

  • Dependency speculation in dynamic simultaneous multi-threading

    Creator:
    Nelson, Jarrod A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to explore dependency speculation in Dynamic Simultaneous Multi-Threading (DSMT). DSMT is a microprocessor architecture which attempts to extract Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) from single-threaded programs at run-time. This is accomplished by running multiple iterations of program loops in parallel. The DSMT architecture was originally...

  • Statistical comparison of methods used in harvesting work studies

    Creator:
    Olsen, Eldon D., Hossain, Mohammad M., Miller, Mark E., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
    Abstract:
    Work-study guidelines were developed using field data from thinning sites in the Oregon Cascade Range. Regression of detailed time study and shift-level data predicted harvesting production rates. Statistical analysis showed the relative difference in the discriminating power between shift-level studies versus detailed time studies. Indicator variables tested if there were...
