Essays in semiparametric econometrics

Creator:: Livingston, Olga Voyteshenko
Abstract:: Two essays are focused on semiparametric econometric methods. The first essay investigates applicability of the smooth back tting estimator (SBE) to statistical analysis of residential energy consumption. The second essay attempts to incorporate additivity restrictions into semiparametric stochastic frontier estimation. The procedure described in the first study is used to...

Characterization of the mechanism and function of C₂H₂ zinc finger protein CTIP2 in the developmental processes

Creator:: Golonzhka, Olga
Abstract:: CTIP2 is a C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor that plays important yet poorly understood roles in mouse development. CTIP2 is known to be highly expressed in the central nervous system, skin and T lymphocytes during embryogenesis. CTIP2-null mice die perinatally of unknown causes and exhibit defects in multiple organ systems...

Control of Hydrogen Sulfide Formation during Fermentation

Creator:: Bakalinsky, Alan, Martin, Olga, and Kennedy, James A.
Abstract:: Hydrogen sulfide and related sulfur compounds produced internally by yeast during fermentation are considered highly undesirable if they are excreted and exceed threshold concentrations in the finished wine, as they cause an unpleasant "reduced character". The threshold for hydrogen sulfide is on the order of parts per billion and that...

How the Portrayal of Women Characters in the Zorro and Robin Hood Stories Has Changed Over Time

Creator:: Rodriguez-Walmisley, Olga B.
Abstract:: This thesis explores how female characters in the Zorro and Robin Hood stories have changed throughout time, from beginnings until present day. I began my analysis by first researching whether Zorro and Robin Hood existed, and found that Robin Hood was most likely a real man who lived during the...

Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen Content of Juice and Production of Volatile Sulfur Compounds in Oregon Wine

Creator:: Watson, Barney, Martin, Olga, Bakalinsky, Alan, Kennedy, James A., McDaniel, Mina, Qian, Michael, and Connelly, Anne
Abstract:: The objectives of this research project are to gain a better understanding of juice/must nutrition and the production of hydrogen sulfide and other 'off' sulfide odors in Oregon wines in relationship to both viticulture and winemaking practices. Specifically, the objectives of this research project are: · To analyze commercial juices/musts...

Carbon balance on federal forest lands of Western Oregon and Washington: The impact of the Northwest Forest Plan

Creator:: Krankina, Olga N., Harmon, Mark E., Schnekenburger, Frank, and Sierra, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The management of federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region changed in early 1990s when the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) was adopted with the primary goal to protect old-growth forest and associated species. A major decline in timber harvest followed, extending an earlier downward trend. The historic and...

A chronosequence of wood decomposition in the boreal forests of Russia

Creator:: Yatskov, Mikhail, Harmon, Mark E., and Krankina, Olga N.
Abstract:: Coarse woody debris (CWD), represented by logs and snags >10 cm in diameter and >1 m in length, was sampled at eight sites in Russian boreal forests to determine the specific density of decay classes and decomposition rates. Tree species sampled included Abies siberica Ledeb., Betula pendula Roth., Betula costata...

The effect of temperature and salinity acclimation on the respiration rate of a marine polychaete, Serpula vermicularis L.

Creator:: Ikkanda, John Martin
Abstract:: In January 1970, collections of Serpula vermicularis L. were obtained from Bray Point, Oregon, for the purpose of determining the effect of acclimation to salinity and temperature on its rate of respiration. The worms were removed from their tubes and acclimated to one of three salinities (28.8%₀, 31.1%₀, or 35.9%₀)...

Differential surface activation of the A1 domain of von Willebrand factor

Creator:: Tronic, Elaine H., Yakovenko, Olga, Weidner, Tobias, Baio, Joe E., Penkala, Rebecca, Castner, David G., and Thomas, Wendy E.
Abstract:: The clotting protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) binds to platelet receptor glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα) when VWF is activated by chemicals, high shear stress, or immobilization onto surfaces. Activation of VWF by surface immobilization is an important problem in the failure of cardiovascular implants, but is poorly understood. Here, the authors...
