Electronic Properties of Chlorine, Methyl, and Chloromethyl as Substituents to the Ethylene Group-Viewed from the Core of Carbon

Creator:: Zahl, Maria G., Fossheim, Randi, Børve, Knut J., Sæthre, Leif J., and Thomas, T. Darrah
Abstract:: “Substituent effects” is an important and useful concept in organic chemistry. Although there are many approaches to parametrizing the electronic and steric effects of substituents, the physical basis for the parameters is often unclear. The purpose of the present work is to explore the properties of chemical shifts in carbon...

AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Steele, Evan T.
Abstract:: The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

Regional variation in stand structure and development in forests of Oregon, Washington, and inland Northern California

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Despite its importance to biodiversity and ecosystem function, patterns and drivers of regional scale variation in forest structure and development are poorly understood. We characterize structural variation, create a hierarchical classification of forest structure, and develop an empirically based framework for conceptualizing structural development from 11,091 plots across 25 million...

Bed conduction impact on fiber optic distributed temperature sensing water temperature measurements

Creator:: O'Donnell Meininger, T. and Selker, J. S.
Abstract:: Error in distributed temperature sensing (DTS) water temperature measurements may be introduced by contact of the fiber optic cable sensor with bed materials (e.g., seafloor, lakebed, streambed). Heat conduction from the bed materials can affect cable temperature and the resulting DTS measurements. In the Middle Fork John Day River, apparent...

Post-fire tree establishment and early cohort development in conifer forests of the western Cascades of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J., Swanson, Frederick J., and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Early‐seral ecosystems make important contributions to regional biodiversity by supporting high abundance and diversity of many plant and animal species that are otherwise rare or absent from closed‐canopy forests. Therefore, the period of post‐fire tree establishment is a key stage in forest stand and ecosystem development that can be viewed...

Evaluating Paratransgenesis as a Potential Control Strategy for African Trypanosomiasis

Creator:: Medlock, Jan, Atkins, Katherine E., Thomas, David N., Aksoy, Serap, and Galvani, Alison P.
Abstract:: Genetic-modification strategies are currently being developed to reduce the transmission of vector-borne diseases, including African trypanosomiasis. For tsetse, the vector of African trypanosomiasis, a paratransgenic strategy is being considered: this approach involves modification of the commensal symbiotic bacteria Sodalis to express trypanosome-resistance-conferring products. Modified Sodalis can then be driven into...

Evaluation and improvement of the Community Land Model (CLM4) in Oregon forests

Creator:: Hudiburg, T. W., Law, B. E., and Thornton, P. E.
Abstract:: Ecosystem process models are important tools for determining the interactive effects of global change and disturbance on forest carbon dynamics. Here we evaluated and improved terrestrial carbon cycling simulated by the Community Land Model (CLM4), the land model portion of the Community Earth System Model (CESM1.0.4). Our analysis was conducted...

Differential surface activation of the A1 domain of von Willebrand factor

Creator:: Tronic, Elaine H., Yakovenko, Olga, Weidner, Tobias, Baio, Joe E., Penkala, Rebecca, Castner, David G., and Thomas, Wendy E.
Abstract:: The clotting protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) binds to platelet receptor glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα) when VWF is activated by chemicals, high shear stress, or immobilization onto surfaces. Activation of VWF by surface immobilization is an important problem in the failure of cardiovascular implants, but is poorly understood. Here, the authors...

Predicting foundation bunchgrass species abundances: model-assisted decision-making in protected-area sagebrush steppe

Creator:: Rodhouse, Thomas J., Irvine, Kathryn M., Sheley, Roger L., Smith, Brenda S., Hoh, Shirley, Esposito, Daniel M., and Mata-Gonzalez, Ricardo
Abstract:: Foundation species are structurally dominant members of ecological communities that can stabilize ecological processes and influence resilience to disturbance and resistance to invasion. Being common, they are often overlooked for conservation but are increasingly threatened from land use change, biological invasions, and over‐exploitation. The pattern of foundation species abundances over...

Mutualistic Co-evolution of Type III Effector Genes in Sinorhizobium fredii and Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Creator:: Kimbrel, Jeffrey A., Thomas, William J., Jiang, Yuan, Creason, Allison L., Thireault, Caitlin A., Sachs, Joel L., and Chang, Jeff H.
Abstract:: Two diametric paradigms have been proposed to model the molecular co-evolution of microbial mutualists and their eukaryotic hosts. In one, mutualist and host exhibit an antagonistic arms race and each partner evolves rapidly to maximize their own fitness from the interaction at potential expense of the other. In the opposing...
