  • The effect of wine matrix on the analysis of volatile sulfur compounds by solid-phase microextraction-GC-PFPD

    Creator:
    Davis, Peter M.
    Abstract:
    Constituents of the wine matrix, including ethanol, affect adsorption of sulfur volatiles on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers, which can impact sensitivity and accuracy of volatile sulfur analysis in wine. Several common wine sulfur volatiles, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (MeSH), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), diethyl...

  • Estimating the value of irrigation water transferred to instream flow : A case study of Umatilla County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Ugrinska, Monika P.
    Abstract:
    Agricultural water supplies are becoming increasingly uncertain in the western United States due to elevated demands from competing water users, environmental restrictions on surface water withdrawals as a result of the establishment of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, and potential climatic changes. Since many rural communities in the West...

  • Supplemental feeding influences reproductive success of the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) at Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawai'i

    Creator:
    Tamayose, Joy
    Abstract:
    Low reproductive success has been typical of high elevation populations of the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) or nēnē. Researchers identified predation and inadequate nutrition as limiting factors. Reproductive success remained low in most years despite on-going predator control programs. I used a supplemental feeding program over two breeding seasons in...

  • Himeradine A : synthetic efforts towards himeradine A and related natural products, a Michael reaction focused approach

    Creator:
    Collett, Nathan D.
    Abstract:
    Lycopodium alkaloids have generated enormous amounts of interest from the scientific community, both as synthetic targets and for their medicinal properties. Herein is described work towards a unifying approach to large segments of the Lycopodium family. An organocatalyzed intramolecular heteroatom Michael reaction method, for the construction of piperidine and piperizine...

  • Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

    Creator:
    Carlson, Erik
    Abstract:
    Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

  • Evaluation of straw wattle placement and surficial slope stability

    Creator:
    Rikli, Anthony M.
    Abstract:
    Straw wattles are common erosion control devices used to trap sediment. This thesis studies the relationship of straw wattles on slope stability through a case study demonstrating their use on steep slopes (1.5H:1V) for the US20 highway realignment project. Several surficial slope failures have occurred on these fill slopes, often...

  • Effects of combining of upper and lower body resistance training on lumbar loading

    Creator:
    Doran, Elizabeth R.
    Abstract:
    Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a common and costly public health problem with a high occurrence in older women due to menopausal-onset bone loss. Recent findings suggest that mechanical loading created by upper body resistance training can stimulate bone growth in the lumbar spine, reducing osteoporosis-related bone loss and associated fracture...

    Walker, Andrew J.
    Abstract:
    The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, MN in 2007 prompted an investigation into the design and inspection of the steel truss bridges. Further investigation into the collapse revealed that a gusset plate experienced sway buckling, causing the bridge failure. This bridge failure motivated research into the analysis and...

  • Local Accessibility of Objective, Classical Reality

    Creator:
    Kincaid, Joshua J.
    Abstract:
    The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...
