Teacher perspectives in ocean sciences education : a look at the SMILE-CIOSS partnership

Creator:: Rice, Bronwen
Abstract:: The Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Satellite Studies (CIOSS) partners with The Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program to bring ocean sciences and satellite oceanography to high school students and teachers around the state of Oregon. This study was conducted as a formative program assessment during the third year...

An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:: Starkenburg, Shawn R.
Abstract:: The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...

A study of whale watching visitor's cognitive constructs in relation to a whale watching outreach program : An assessment of past experience, value orientations, awareness of actions, and conceptual knowledge structure

Creator:: Christensen, Alicia H.
Abstract:: Given the current state of our oceans, the Pew Oceans Commission (1993) has strongly recommended that increased efforts be made towards ocean literacy. Informal education and outreach programs like the Whale Watching Spoken Here program are important contributors to life-long learning. However, there is little research looking at how these...

DNA markers linked to novel sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for ‘Gasaway’ resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of...

Investigation of hop downy mildew through association mapping and observations of the oospore

Creator:: Parker, Thomas B.
Abstract:: Hop downy mildew is a devastating disease affecting hop requiring expensive fungicide applications throughout the growing season. Plant resistance is highly desirable and theorized as being decidedly quantitative with dominance and epistasis involved in resistance. An association mapping approach using a mixed-model was used to identify AFLP markers associated with...

Genetic resistance to white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary) in scarlet runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus L.)

Creator:: Gilmore, Barbara S.
Abstract:: White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary, is a destructive yield-limiting disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Genetic resistance to this pathogen is limited in common bean. Identification of high levels of partial physiological resistance in a genetically cross compatible species, Phaseolus coccineus, is advisable. The objectives...

Ectopic overexpression of Arabidopsis CBF genes enhances freezing tolerance of two potato species

Creator:: Pino, María-Teresa
Abstract:: Solanum species differ in their degree of frost tolerance and cold acclimation capacity. Cultivated potato species of Solanum tuberosum L. are frost-sensitive, incapable of cold acclimation, and have a maximum freezing tolerance of –3°C. Solanum commersonii Dun is frost-tolerant and can survive to –5ºC pre-acclimation and –10ºC post-acclimation. Breeding attempts...

How do engineering students develop and reason with concepts of electricity within a project-based course?

Creator:: Bledsoe, Karen E.
Abstract:: Reform in science education has often emphasized task-based learning as an instructional method to improve student understanding and retention of concepts, and to promote the development of reasoning and problem-solving. Yet studies assessing student knowledge at the beginning and end of a task-based class show mixed results. Students in task-based...
