Institutionalizing Science in Oregon : The Role of the Oregon State Academy of Sciences, 1905-1914

Creator:: Read, Richard Thomas
Abstract:: In February 1905 the Oregon State Academy of Sciences formed in Portland to promote scientific research and diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oregon. The founders also planned to assist in the discovery and development of the state's natural resources. The Academy was the first scientific society in Oregon with professional...

Role of myosin heavy chain polymorphism in differential susceptibility of muscle fibers to eccentric contraction

Creator:: Choi, Seung Jun
Abstract:: Relationships between myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform content and eccentric-induced damage were investigated in chemically skinned muscle fiber segments. Fibers were subjected to an eccentric contraction standardized for strain magnitude (0.25 fiber length) and velocity (0.50 maximal shortening velocity). Fiber MHC isoform content was identified by SDS-PAGE. Pre- to post-eccentric...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

The Siletz Eels: Oral History Interviews with Siletz Tribal Elders and Neighboring Residents Regarding The Decline in Siletz River Lamprey Populations

Creator:: Downey, Tom, Rilatos, Darin, Sondenaa, Annette, and Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: Lamprey eel harvesting has systematically and periodically occurred along the Siletz River and its tributaries for as many as hundreds, or thousands, or tens of thousands of years that human families and lamprey eel populations have coexisted in the Siletz Valley ecosystem. Historical, cultural, and biological information for the twentieth...

The influence of biophysical feedbacks and species interactions on grass invasions and coastal dune morphology in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Zarnetske, Phoebe Lehmann
Abstract:: Biological invasions provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms that regulate community composition and ecosystem function. Invasive species that are also ecosystem engineers can substantially alter physical features in an environment, and this can lead to cascading effects on the biological community. Aquatic-terrestrial interface ecosystems are excellent systems to...

The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:: Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

An environmental history of Euphoria Ridge, Oregon : a case study for ethnobotany in traditional resource management

Creator:: Fluharty, Suzanne M.
Abstract:: This dissertation looks at one landscape component of the Coquille Indian Tribe's ancestral lands in order to understand the place meaning created and assigned to Euphoria Ridge, Oregon. I focus on three cultural overlays across time that together with the unique biophysical components, generate an importance for the locale to...

Foodways at Fort Yamhill, 1856-1866 : an archaeological and archival perspective

Creator:: Eichelberger, Justin E.
Abstract:: Fort Yamhill, located in the eastern foothills of the Oregon Coast Range near modern day Grand Ronde, Oregon, was a U.S. Army post established in March 1856 as part of a three fort system to guard the newly established Coast Reservation and to provide a Union presence in the state...

Restructuring of land and community in the remote rural west : the case of Wallowa County, Oregon

Creator:: Abrams, Jesse
Abstract:: Since at least the 1970s, rural areas in the western United States, as elsewhere across the country and world, have been subject to social, economic, and political forces that have resulted in novel demographic and land tenure trends when compared to previous decades. Collectively, these processes of restructuring have created...
