Exploring the neuroprotective mechanism of poly-ICLC preconditioning against oxygenglucose deprivation in the in vitro blood-brain barrier model

Creator:: Turina, Claire B.
Abstract:: The preconditioning agent poly-ICLC has recently been shown to protect against cerebral injury in the mouse model, when administered systemically prior to ischemic insult. However, the mechanism by which poly-ICLC provides neuroprotection is currently unknown, but it has been shown to protect against ischemia-induced bloodbrain barrier (BBB) disruption. Inflammation contributes...

Letting wildfires burn : modeling the change in future suppression costs as the result of a suppress versus a let-burn management choice

Creator:: Houtman, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Wildfire management policy over the past century, which attempts to exclude fire from fire-adapted ecosystems, has led to a build-up of fuels across the western United States. As a result, current wildfires contain larger areas of high severity, high intensity burns than seen prior to the policy implementation. There are...

Comparison of Common Ravens in Sage-grouse Core and Non-Core Areas: Assessing Predator Densities Related to Anthropogenic Features

Creator:: Revekant, Claire L.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus: hereafter sage-grouse) abundance and distribution in North America has declined over the last century. Many factors have contributed to this decline, including habitat loss and fragmentation from human development with an associated potential for increased predation. While human development has been connected to lower sage-grouse demographic...

Economic Benefit from Allowing Wildfires to Burn in Federal East-Side Cascade Forests

Creator:: Gagnon, Aaron R.
Abstract:: In this thesis I examine the question: can allowing a wildfire to burn this year result in a net positive economic gain? To answer this question I created 2,500 multiple sets of paired scenarios (called a fire of interest) which consist of ignitions, vegetation growth, and timber harvest over the...

The effects of increased supply and emerging technologies in the forest products industry on rural communities in the northwest U.S.

Creator:: Crandall, Mindy S.
Abstract:: The development of a market for currently non-merchantable forest material, such as harvest residues of tops and limbs of trees or small diameter trees, has been suggested as a possible win-win solution that could: (i) provide a financial incentive to help motivate treatments to reduce wildfire risk or restore forest...

Land management with ecological and economic objectives : developing a production possibility set of wildlife species persistence and timber harvest value using simulated annealing

Creator:: Calkin, David E.
Abstract:: An integrated model combining a wildlife population simulation model, and timber harvest and growth models was developed to explore the tradeoffs between the likelihood of persistence of a wildlife species and timber harvest values on a landscape in the Central Oregon Cascades. Simulated annealing, a heuristic optimization technique, was used...

Choosing efficient land allocations and forest management regimes for biodiversity

Creator:: Shunk, Neal J.
Abstract:: Increasing rates of species imperilment and the loss of biological diversity in naturally functioning ecosystems can be directly linked to accelerated urban development and the conversion of natural habitats to satisfy the needs of man. In combating this loss of biodiversity, scientists and policy makers alike recognize the relevance of...

Determining optimal timber harvest and fuel treatment on a fire-threatened landscape using approximate dynamic programming

Creator:: Lauer, Christopher Joseph
Abstract:: Forest management in the face of fire risk is a challenging problem because fire spreads across a landscape and because its occurrence is unpredictable. Additionally, management must be adjusted over time as unpredictable fire events are realized. Land managers have some control over the vegetation conditions that facilitate fire spread,...

The impact of social capital on well-being in rural communities

Creator:: Harrison, Jane L.
Abstract:: This study seeks to explore the relationship between social capital and well-being in the rural Western United States. Mixed methods were employed to understand the concepts from multiple angles, using both profile and process indicators. An econometric approach used profile indicators and relied on data from 414 counties in the...

Uncertainty in forest road hydrologic modeling and catchment scale assessment offorest road sediment yield

Creator:: Surfleet, Christopher G.
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to advance methods for assessment of forest road hydrologic response and sediment yield at a catchment scale. This research looked at the effect of soil depth estimation on the Distributive Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM), assessed the uncertainty and accuracy of hydrologic modeling of...
