Judicial deference and its potential effect on agency science and natural resource management

Creator:: Grisa, Amanda Marie Schenk
Abstract:: The USDA Forest Services' actions have come under greater scrutiny by a public that has become increasingly concerned with the legality of their actions. Often, challenges involve the quality of science used in the decision-making. Congress has mandated that the agency use the "best available science" in its decision making...

Effects of Preinoculation with VAM fungi isolated from different sites on plant tolerance to salinity in soils amended with sodium chloride

Creator:: Cantrell, Isabella Cardona
Abstract:: The hypothesis that inoculation of transplants with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi before planting into saline soils would alleviate salt effects on growth and productivity was tested on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.). A secondary hypothesis was that the fungi isolated from a saline soil would be...

The Perception Gap: The Gulf Between Public Opinion and Public Higher Education in Oregon

Creator:: Burns, Bridget
Abstract:: Public opinion is central to the formation of public higher education, particularly public higher education funding policy. However, extant research indicates that an enormous gap exists between public higher education policymakers and the general public, resulting in misunderstanding and serious challenges for public higher education funding. This analysis builds on...

Development of predictive mapping techniques for soil survey and salinity mapping

Creator:: Elnaggar, Abdelhamid A.
Abstract:: Conventional soil maps represent a valuable source of information about soil characteristics, however they are subjective, very expensive, and time-consuming to prepare. Also, they do not include explicit information about the conceptual mental model used in developing them nor information about their accuracy, in addition to the error associated with...

H. pylori virulence factor CagA increases intestinal cell proliferation by Wnt pathway activation in a transgenic zebrafish model

Creator:: Neal, James T., Peterson, Tracy S., Kent, Michael L., and Guillemin, Karen
Abstract:: Infection with Helicobacter pylori is a major risk factor for the development of gastric cancer, and infection with strains carrying the virulence factor CagA significantly increases this risk. To investigate the mechanisms by which CagA promotes carcinogenesis, we generated transgenic zebrafish expressing CagA ubiquitously or in the anterior intestine. Transgenic...

Suppression of Met signaling by the green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)

Creator:: Larsen, Christine A.
Abstract:: Met is a prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer patient survival. Therapies that target Met may therefore have beneficial outcomes in the clinic. Recently, EGCG was reported to suppress Met activation, although the mechanisms were not elucidated. HCT116 and HT29 human colon cancer cells were used to examine the relationships between...

Microbial alteration of the seafloor

Creator:: Josef, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass (sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that this unique alteration of glass can be attributed to microbial activity. Microbial alteration textures have...

Remote sensing of transpiration and heat fluxes using multi-angle observations

Creator:: Hilker, Thomas, Hall, Forrest G., Coops, Nicholas C., Collatz, James G., Black, T. Andrew, Tucker, Compton J., Sellers, Piers J., and Grant, Nicholas
Abstract:: Surface energy balance is a major determinant of land surface temperature and the Earth's climate. To date, there is no approach that can produce effective, physically consistent, global and multi-decadal energy–water flux data over land. Net radiation (R[subscript n]) can be quantified regionally using satellite retrievals of surface reflectance and...

Adaptive Streaming Methods using Dual Protocols and Reinforcement Learning

Creator:: Gatimu, Kevin
Abstract:: The ubiquity of high quality video and proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to an unprecedented rise in video consumption. HTTP, in conjunction with adaptive streaming, has become the de facto mechanism for delivering the vast majority of video as it readily caters to heterogeneous networks and devices.

Vertical Zoning in Marine Protected Areas: Ecological Considerations for Balancing Pelagic Fishing with Conservation of Benthic Communities

Creator:: Grober-Dunsmore, Rikki, Wooninck, Lisa, Field, John, Ainsworth, Cameron, Beets, Jim, Berkeley, Steve, Bohnsack, Jim, Boulon, Rafe, Brodeur, Richard, Brodziak, John, Crowder, Larry, Gleason, Danny, Hixon, Mark, Kaufman, Les, Lindberg, Bill, Miller, Marc, Morgan, Lance, and Wahle, Charles
Abstract:: Marine protected areas (MPAs), ideally, manage human uses that threaten ecosystems, or components of ecosystems. During several recent MPA designation processes, concerns have arisen over the scientific justification for no-take MPAs, particularly those that restrict recreational fishing for pelagic species. An important question is: under what conditions might recreational pelagic...
