The effects of growth rate and cambial age on wood properties of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) and Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana Dougl.)

Creator:: Lei, Hua
Abstract:: This study was to investigate effects of growth rate and cambial age on properties of wood from two increasingly used hardwood species, red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) and Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana Dougl.), for better understanding factors affecting wood quality in hardwoods. Thirty 7-year-old trees grown at widely varying...

Whole-Tree Bark and Wood Properties of Loblolly Pine from Intensively Managed Plantations

Creator:: Antony, Finto, Schimleck, Laurence R., Daniels, Richard F., Clark, Alexander, Borders, Bruce E., Kane, Michael B., and Burkhart, Harold E.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to identify geographical variation in loblolly pine bark and wood properties at the whole-tree level and to quantify the responses in whole-tree bark and wood properties following contrasting silvicultural practices that included planting density, weed control, and fertilization. Trees were destructively sampled from both conventionally managed...

Isolation and characterization of a larval crustacean salt gland from the brine shrimp Artemia salina

Creator:: Lowy, Robert Joel
Abstract:: A method for isolating the salt gland (SG) from the larval brine shrimp has been developed. This extra-renal organ is removed from 5-10% of Stage Inauplii by vortexing after incubating the animals at 37°C for 8 hours in a saline solution buffered with 100 mM sodium phosphate at pH 7.6....

Effects of prescribed cattle grazing on reforestation in Oregon's southern Cascades

Creator:: Karl, Michael G.
Abstract:: Reforesting harvested lands in southwestern Oregon has been difficult because of low rainfall, high evaporative demand, and competitive understory vegetation. Herbicides have been a preferred method to control competing vegetation but herbicide use on federal lands was curtailed in 1984. As a result, interest in livestock grazing as a vegetation...

Development of mucosal vaccines for avian influenza A virus composed of recombinant Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii

Creator:: Reese, Kaleb A.
Abstract:: Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...

The significance of glutathione conjugation for aflatoxin B₁ metabolism in rainbow trout and coho salmon

Creator:: Valsta, Liisa M.
Abstract:: In rodent models as well as in fish models there are significant species differences in the susceptibility toward aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) carcinogenesis. Mouse is less susceptible toward AFB₁ carcinogenesis than rat. Researchers have come to the conclusion that the lower susceptibility of mice is not a result of less effective...

Photoperiod and the timing of pupping in the Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardsi) with notes on reproduction in northern fur seals and Dall porpoises

Creator:: Temte, Jonathan L.
Abstract:: Birth and pupping season records of Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) were used in an analysis of photoperiod effect on the timing of birth in this species. Dates and latitudes of births were converted into photoperiods using a photoperiod equation. Sequential dates from parturition were converted into photoperiods and...

Connections between science and business to increase environmentally-friendly food production

Creator:: Rieder, Rebekka M.
Abstract:: This study represents an internship, as a requirement of the Professional Science Masters program at Oregon State University, performed with Western Ag Innovations Inc. The study consisted of two aspects -- one business and one science oriented. The two objectives of this internship were to: 1) qualitatively evaluate how two...

Selenium effects and species differences in hepatic metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and other xenobiotics

Creator:: Shull, Lee R.
Abstract:: The metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and other drugs was studied with regard to nutritional status and species differences. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are biotransformed to severely toxic metabolites were isolated from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea). Semi-purified alkaloid crystals containing five alkaloids (senecionine, seneciophylline, jacobine, jacoline, and jacozine) were prepared and found...

Reactor Physics Scoping and Characterization Study on Implementation of TRIGA Fuel in the Advanced Test Reactor

Creator:: Lyons, Jennifer A., Marcum, Wade R., Morrell, Sean, and DeHart, Mark
Abstract:: The Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) is conducting scoping studies for the conversion of its fuel from a highly enriched uranium (HEU) composition to a low-enriched uranium (LEU) composition, through the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors Program, within the Global Threat Reduction Initiative. These studies have considered a wide...
