Comparing Ectomycorrhizal Communities of Understory Giant Chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla) and Overstory Pinaceae Trees in a Mixed Conifer Forest in Central Oregon

Creator:: Longway, Lucas J.
Abstract:: Giant chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla) is an evergreen hardwood often found as a shrubby understory component of coniferous forests in the Pacific Northwest United States. Due to its ability to sprout quickly after disturbances such as fire and logging it is often viewed as a pest by forest managers. Like its...

In silico clinical trial comparing predicted subsequent malignant neoplasms in photon versus proton therapy of a pediatric cohort with intracranial tumors

Creator:: Gallagher, Kyle J.
Abstract:: The leading cause of death 20 years after treatment for children surviving a cancer of the central nervous system was from a subsequent malignant neoplasm (SMN) (1). Although it was been shown that proton therapy considerably reduces the risk of a fatal SMN in children receiving craniospinal irradiation compared to...

Adaptability of winter wheat cultivars to dryland conditions and their response to water stress

Creator:: Keim, Don Lee
Abstract:: Winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated for their response to water stress and adaptability to a wide range of moisture limited environments. Grain yield was analyzed for ten cultivars at six locations across four years. Regression of the cultivar mean on the year-location mean was used as a measure...

Construct validation of self-report with assistance to measure physical activity behavior in adults with intellectual disabilities

Creator:: Johnson, Marquell J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of construct validity for self-report with assistance from a secondary source as a measure of physical activity (PA) in adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) in free-living environments. Thirty-seven participants (21 females, 16 males) with mild to moderate ID aged 19-74...

The development and decline dynamics of two ectomycorrhizal fungal mat soil microbial communities in response to a reciprocal soil transfer experiment in old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Cappellazzi, Jed E.
Abstract:: Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EmF) form symbioses with trees. These symbioses profoundly influence forest ecology. Certain EmF form specialized profusions of hyphae, known as ectomycorrhizal fungal mats (mats) which are visible to the naked eye, alter forest soil biogeochemistry, substantially contribute to soil microbial biomass/respiration and support unique microbial communities. Piloderma and...

Investigating the ecological role of cell signaling in free-living marine heterotrophic protists

Creator:: Hartz, Aaron J.
Abstract:: Phagotrophic protists are major consumers of microbial biomass in aquatic ecosystems. However, biochemical mechanisms underlying prey recognition and phagocytosis by protists are not well understood. We investigated the potential roles of cell signaling mechanisms in chemosensory response to prey, and in capture of prey cells, by a marine ciliate (Uronema...

The static and cyclic pullout behavior of plate anchors in fine saturated sand

Creator:: Petereit, Ralph A.
Abstract:: Anchors resistant to tensile loads are commonly used in civil engineering practice. Anchors in the marine environment are most frequently used for the mooring of vessels. Only recently, with the expansion of the offshore industry, has the need to develop more reliable anchor systems become necessary. Embedded plate anchors are...

Effects of disturbance modes on mycorrhizal fungus communities at Crater Lake National Park

Creator:: Trappe, Matt
Abstract:: Crater Lake National Park presents an excellent opportunity for ecological research due to its relatively pristine landscape, the protection of its natural features, its infrastructure, and a Park administration supportive of scientific inquiry and restoration ecology. The research presented here examines the responses of fungi to various forms of perturbation....

Homogenization of Detrital Leachate in an Old-Growth Coniferous Forest, OR : DOC Fluorescence Signatures in Soils Undergoing Long-Term Litter Manipulations

Creator:: Strid, April R.
Abstract:: Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a small but crucial part of the forest carbon cycle. Characterizing the relationship between detrital inputs and soil DOC chemistry is crucial to understanding the ultimate fate of root carbon, fallen wood and needles. Chemical differences in the DOC pool may help to explain...
