Screening for Viral Disease in the OSU Tomato Breeding Program

Creator:: Kershner, Alexandria C.
Abstract:: Disease control is a crucial aspect of plant breeding for researchers as well as commercial producers. After samples from OSU's tomato breeding program tested positive for Columnea latent viroid in a screen done by a private company, secondary testing was done by the USDA laboratory in Corvallis which suggested that...

Wind induced torsional fatigue behavior of truss bridge verticals

Creator:: Keller, Philipp
Abstract:: The Astoria-Megler Bridge is a 6.6 kilometer (4.1 mile) long bridge, connecting Oregon and Washington on US 101, with a continuous steel truss main span of 376 m (1232 ft). It is the second longest main span bridge of this type in the world. Due to vortex shedding, some of...

Determination of a calculation bias in the MCNP model of the OSTR

Creator:: Kitto, Allyson K.
Abstract:: Oregon State University is home to a TRIGA® Mark II reactor. In October of 2008, the reactor began operating on low enriched uranium fuel. A model of the facility exists in MCNP, a Monte Carlo code that can be used for criticality calculations. Until now, a bias in the calculation...

Investigating the Mechanisms for the Effects of Nitrate Treatment on Exercise Performance and Energy Metabolism

Creator:: Keller, Rosa M.
Abstract:: Dietary nitrate (NO3-), consumed primarily from leafy green and root vegetables, lowers blood pressure, improves vascular function and aerobic exercise performance. This performance-enhancing effect of nitrate supplementation is largely attributed to the increased bioavailability of the signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is a ubiquitous free radical signaling molecule...

Modeling the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor Using the Attila Three-Dimensional Deterministic Transport Code

Creator:: Keller, S. Todd
Abstract:: Attila is a state-of-the-art radiation transport based code that is efficient, accurate and straightforward to use. Geometric information is input to the code as CAD drawings. Material property information is input as a cross section library. The user has full control over standard transport options and output reports. In phase...

Personality and interest assessment of the adult learner with learning disabilities

Creator:: Keller, Linda U.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to determine if there were any relationships between measured personality traits and vocational interests between the Adult Learner with Learning Disabilities (ALLD) and without Learning Disabilities (ALNLD). Instruments utilized to measure personality traits and vocational interests included the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and...

Extending the clinical applications of commercially available optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters

Creator:: Keller, James R.
Abstract:: We present the results of our experiments designed to extend the clinical applications of commercially available Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Dosimeters. Our initial experiments demonstrate the linear response of the OSL dosimeters for doses under 200 cGy and the non-linear response of the device after 200 cGy. Our experiments show...

Submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and ambient noise in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through empirical orthogonal function analysis...

Using rootstocks to manipulate vine physiological performance and mediate changes in fruit and wine composition

Creator:: Sampaio, Tiago Luís Barros
Abstract:: A rootstock trial was established in 1997 at the OSU Woodhall vineyard, located in the Southern Willamette Valley, which included two experiments. The first experiment was a factorial of four varieties grafted on to 9 rootstocks, and also as ungrafted vines (a split-plot design). The second experiment was a randomized...

Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana) behavior and response to wetland habitat management at Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge on Kaua'i

Creator:: Malachowski, Christopher P.
Abstract:: The endangered Hawaiian Duck (koloa maoli; Anas wyvilliana), a non-migratory and island-endemic species, experienced a significant population decline during the twentieth century due to factors such as habitat loss, overharvest, introduced mammalian predators, and hybridization with introduced feral Mallards (A. platyrhynchos). A key objective for Hawaiian Duck recovery is to...
