Production relationships for the Oregon commercial fishing fleet

Creator:: Richardson, James Andrew
Abstract:: Fishing firms in Oregon operate in a complex and dynamic physical, biological and institutional environment. Within this environment, managers of these firms will attempt to maximize some objective function which may include profit. This maximization is dependent upon the level of output, or the levels of inputs. Given a relationship...

The biosynthesis of ethylene from methionine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Jones, Paul Aikens
Abstract:: Methionine metabolism, leading to the biosynthesis of ethylene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not appear to involve S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC), based on the lack of ethylene synthesis when both SAM and ACC were incubated in the presence and absence of cells. Thus, the mechanism leading to the formation...

Transboundary groundwater : geopolitical consequences, commons sense, and the law of the hidden sea

Creator:: Jarvis, William Todd
Abstract:: With 97% of the world’s freshwater resources stored underground, the connection between groundwater resources to the metrics of space, scale and time common to the geographic study of natural resources has not been extensively investigated by geographers. While nearly 240 transboundary aquifers are mapped across the world, a potential “tragedy”...

Acceptability of market-based approaches to water management : an analysis of the Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Program

Creator:: Lieberherr, Eva K.
Abstract:: Growing urbanization, shifting water uses, and a focus on ecosystem health in the Deschutes River Basin in Central Oregon led to experimentation with new voluntary market-based approaches to water management in the last decade. To meet groundwater demands while maintaining instream flows and upholding prior water allocations, the Oregon Water...

Effects of early rearing environment on learning ability and behavior in laying hens

Creator:: Morris, Hannah M.
Abstract:: The effects of enriching the rearing environment of laying hens on their learning ability and behavior were investigated. Day old ISA brown layer chicks were group housed in open floor pens that were either enriched or unenriched. The enriched rooms contained visual stimuli in the form of hanging decorations, auditory...

Description and analysis of dietary preference of lingcod in the nearshore zone, Oregon

Creator:: Tinus, Craig A.
Abstract:: The lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) is an important groundfish species in both recreational and commercial fisheries of the Northeastern Pacific. It is a large, fast-growing, generalist predator of invertebrates and fishes. In response to concerns that lingcod may limit populations of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), I compared the diets of 375 adult...

Directing ecological succession : the role of competition in restoring semi-arid grasslands dominated by invasive plants

Creator:: Mangla, Seema
Abstract:: Successful ecosystem restoration requires an understanding of the ecological processes directing succession. One of the challenges in the semi-arid grasslands of western United States is replacement of native species by invasive annual grasses. Solutions to this problem require identifying and manipulating ecological processes that direct succession to favor desired vegetation....

Resilience of large river basins : applying social-ecological systems theory, conflict management, and collaboration on the Mekong and Columbia Basins

Creator:: MacQuarrie, Patrick R.
Abstract:: River basins provide essential services for both humans and ecosystems. Understanding the connections between ecosystems and society and their function has been at the heart of resilience studies and has become an increasing important endeavor in research and practice. In this dissertation, I define basin resilience as a river basin...

Role of IL-8 and TIMP-2 on term canine trophoblast migration, invasion, and proliferation

Creator:: Gullaba, Justine Marie
Abstract:: Placental pathologies are not uncommon in dogs. For example, in primiparous bitches, the reported incidence of subinvolution of placental sites is 21% - 100%. Despite years of research in multiple species, the mechanisms regulating late gestation trophoblast behavior in the dog remain unexamined. Therefore, the objective of this study was...

To restore what once was : a mixed methods approach to understanding the shoe repair transaction

Creator:: Giulietti, Michael P.
Abstract:: The shoe repair transaction, as it occurs in the 5000 or so remaining shoe repair shops in the United States, is currently unexamined in academic literature for the significance it holds for either shoe repairers or their customers. Making use of both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection, this...
