Revegetation-microhabitat relations in the blast zone of Mount St. Helens

Creator:: Gallant, Alisa L.
Abstract:: The Mount St. Helens eruption of May 18, 1980, offered an excellent setting for evaluating early response of ecosystems to disturbance. Prior to the eruption, the area was densely forested with fir, hemlock, and Douglas-fir, and various understory species. During the course of the eruption, hillslopes within a 180 degree...

The development of nursing agency in the context of oppression : a study of the experiences of nurse educators

Creator:: Schneider, Alisa L.
Abstract:: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to discover the experiences nurse educators (NEs) have had with oppression and to uncover how their experiences may have impacted their teaching. This study was significant as nurse retention is negatively affected by oppressed group behaviors (Duchscher & Myrick, 2008; Tinsley & France,...

Biochemical, molecular and physiological characterization of 1-butanol dehydrogenases of Pseudomonas butanovora in butane and 1-butanol metabolism

Creator:: Vangnai, Alisa S.
Abstract:: Butane-grown Pseudomonas butanovora oxidized butane by a soluble butane monooxygenase through the terminal pathway yielding 1 -butanol as the predominant product. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) involved in butane oxidation in P. butanovora were purified and characterized at the biochemical, genetic and physiological levels. Butane-grown P. butanovora expressed a type I soluble...

Assessing cumulative influences of watershed-scale landuses on reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) abundance

Creator:: Inahara, Satomi
Abstract:: The West Eugene Wetlands, Eugene, Oregon, which provide habitat for number of endemic and endangered plant species, are currently threatened by a Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) invasion. This study addresses the hypothesis that Phalaris spread can be explained in part by using watershed-scale landuse patterns as surrogates of the...

Characterization of Pacific whiting proteinase P-II and partial cloning of cathepsins L and K cDNA from rainbow trout liver

Creator:: Nickel, Xianbin F.
Abstract:: Proteinase P-II purified from parasitized Pacific whiting muscle was previously identified to be one form of cathepsin L. It appeared to be present in three isozymatic forms on non-denaturing PAGE gel stained for activity. Its autolytic degradation was observed on SDS-PAGE gel under its optimum condition, 55°C and pH 5.5,...

Lotic macroinvertebrate distribution patterns in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Gerth, William J.
Abstract:: This study was an investigation of lotic macroinvertebrate distribution in northeastern Oregon at two different spatial and biological scales. Examination of assemblages at a limited spatial scale revealed relationships with natural and disturbance gradients and led to questions about distribution of a population at broader spatial scales. In a 16...

Molecular genetic analysis of fruit development in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill.)

Creator:: Balbi, Virginia
Abstract:: Plant hormones regulate progression through the different phases of plant development in response to endogenous and environmental cues. Gene expression studies, as well as genetic and molecular analysis of mutants with altered hormonal responses, are two common approaches to elucidate hormone response pathways. This dissertation compares ovary and fruit development...

Molecular cloning and characterization of the diageotropica gene in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Creator:: Oh, KwangChul
Abstract:: The auxin-resistant diageotropica (dgt) mutant of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) has a pleiotropic phenotype including a lack of lateral roots and reduced gravitropic response, apical dominance, vascular development, and fruit growth. The dgt mutation reduces the auxin sensitivity of only a subset of auxin responses while levels, metabolism, and transport...

Physical and functional characterization of soluble protein antigen(s) produced by Renibacterium salmoninarum

Creator:: Turaga, Prasad S. D.
Abstract:: Renibacterium salmoninarum produces bacterial kidney disease (BKD) in salmonid fish. Soluble antigen(s) (SA) produced by the bacterium was characterized by physicochemical, functional and immunological methods. The molecular weight determination by SDS-PAGE analysis of SA yielded 14 different molecular weight species. Seven of these species were prominent, 57 kd protein being...

Physical and numerical approximations of reactive distillation dynamics

Creator:: Pavarajarn, Varong
Abstract:: Two approaches to reduce computational requirements for solving reactive distillation problems have been studied: simplification of the model using physical assumptions and numerical approximation using an orthogonal collocation technique. The results of a full-order model with time dependent stage molar holdups was compared to published steady-state experimental data and was...
