The use of off-stream water developments and various water gap configurations to modify the watering behavior of grazing cattle

Creator:: Clawson, Jeffrey E.
Abstract:: Two case studies were designed to study the effects of using off-stream water developments and water gap configurations to modify watering behavior of cattle. There were two objectives: 1) to evaluate an off-stream water source to reduce water quality impacts of grazing cattle on a mountain riparian zone during summer...

Effect of the calpain inhibitor E-64-d on the degradation of α-fodrin in damaged muscle

Creator:: Boyd, Jeffrey
Abstract:: We hypothesized that calpain activity is elevated in response to muscle damage. To test this hypothesis, we examined the degradation of α-fodrin into its 150 and 145 kDa fragments following either 20 eccentric or isometric contractions. In addition, experiments were performed in the presence or absence of E-64-d, a calpain...

Removal of E. coli with alternative media Biosand filters

Creator:: Fulton, Nathan J.
Abstract:: When Biosand filters cannot be constructed with crushed quarry rock due to resource limitations, a suitable alternative filter media is needed. In this research, two crushed quarry rock alternatives were examined. Three bench-scale Biosand filters with crushed rock, beach sand, and heat-treated beach sand media were simultaneously dosed with Willamette...

Statistical enhancement of support vector machines

Creator:: Taylor, Aimee E.
Abstract:: Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Random Forests (RF) have consistently outperformed other machine learning algorithms on a variety of problems. SVM can be used for classification and regression on many types of data (e.g. nonlinear, high dimensional), but cannot handle missing or mixed data. This research implements a permutation-based variable...

Protein isoform-function relationships of single skeletal muscle fibers from weight-bearing and hindlimb suspended mice

Creator:: Stelzer, Julian E.
Abstract:: The goals of this research were to a) characterize the protein-function relationships of skeletal muscle single fibers from the mouse hindlimb b) examine mouse-strain related differences in myosin heavy chain composition (MHC) and single fiber contractile function, and c) quantify changes in fiber size and contractile function in response to...

Systematics and host associations of Ormyrus species (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea)

Creator:: Hanson, Paul E.
Abstract:: The genus Ormyrus has a worldwide distribution and comprises about sixty recognized species. The higher taxonomic relationships of the genus are uncertain, as evidenced by its placement in the families Ormyridae, Pteromalidae, or Torymidae. Here, the genus is described in detail and a preliminary catalog of the world species is...

Biology of the carpenter ants Camponotus vicinus (Mayr) and Camponotus modoc (Wheeler) in western Oregon

Creator:: Mankowski, Mark E.
Abstract:: Pest control operators in Oregon were surveyed to examine the occurrence of carpenter ants and other wood destroying organisms in structures. Carpenter ants frequently occurred in the coast and Willamette valley regions of the state and were associated with wetter, mesic habitats. To examine the effects of substrate and moisture...

Environmental estrogens and skeletal development disruption in the fathead minnow : A teleost model of vertebrate developmental toxicity

Creator:: Warner, Kara E.
Abstract:: Natural and synthetic estrogenic compounds detected in surface waters have been linked to endocrine signaling disruption in several species. Endogenous estrogen contributes to cartilage and bone deposition during development in vertebrates, and is susceptible to perturbation from xenoestrogens. The goals of this work were to develop a teleost model to...

Yeast protein release during fermentation and aging in a model wine

Creator:: Rowe, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Yeast mannoproteins released during the process of aging wine on the yeast lees have been reported to make important contributions to wine quality. However, few mannoproteins have been identified in wine and their lifespan during aging is unknown. As a first step towards better understanding the contributions of yeast mannoproteins...
