Seasonal estimates of nitrogen fixation by Alnus rubra and Ceanothus species in western Oregon forest ecosystems

Creator:: Kim, Dong Yeob
Abstract:: Two case studies of 5 ecosystems were used to examine the nitrogen fixation rate of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.), varnishleaf (Ceanothus velutinus var. laevigatus (Hook.) T. & G.), deerbrush (C. i ntegerrimus H. & A.), and snowbrush (C. velutinus var. velutinus Dougl. Ex Hook). The first case study assayed...

Fluorimetric analysis of intracellular calcium in high and low mobility fowl sperm

Creator:: Olson, Jill Wardell
Abstract:: Sperm mobility is defined as the net movement of a sperm population against resistance. Previous research demonstrated that the cell-permeant Ca2+ indicator rhod-2 AM gave a fluorescent signal predominantly in the head region of fowl sperm that differed between sperm mobility phenotypes. This thesis served to explore the role of...

Rheological and spectroscopic characterization of surimi under various comminuting and heating conditions

Creator:: Poowakanjana, Samanan
Abstract:: Optimization of comminuting and heating conditions for surimi gel preparation obtained from three fish species: Alaska pollock (AP) (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific whiting (PW) (Merluccius productus), and threadfin bream (TB) (Nemipterus spp.) was the focus of this study. Three parameters during comminution were separately evaluated: chopping time, chopping temperature, and salting...

Attractivity of plant volatiles and a semichemical-based bait to the western spotted cucumber beetle, Diabrotica undecimpunctata Mannerheim (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Creator:: Hongtrakul, Tawatchai
Abstract:: The adult western spotted cucumber beetle (WSCB), Diabrotica undecimpunctata undecimpunctata Mannerheim is considered a major pest of snap beans grown for processing in Western Oregon. Control consists of 1 or 2 insecticide sprays prior to harvest. A commercial semiochemical-based insecticide bait, Adios TIC®, 1.3% carbaryl + 5% buffalo gourd root...

Three essays on international trade and regional productivity

Creator:: Moon, Hanpil
Abstract:: A firm's productivity is composed of two parts: pure technical change and location-specific (agglomeration) externalities. Regional productivity is thus an aggregation of productivity of firms producing similar goods and located in a given region. International trade can affect both components of regional productivity. First, trade openness in a closed economy...

Essays on land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China

Creator:: Li, Man
Abstract:: China has experienced rapid economic growth in the last twenty years, accompanied by large-scale land conversion, severe environmental degradation, and rising carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Designing policies for sustainable development requires a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between economic growth, land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China. This dissertation...

Production of SO₂ and SO₂ binding compounds by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during the alcoholic fermentation and the impact on wine lactic acid bacteria

Creator:: O'Neil, Allison L.
Abstract:: Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is important in the production of wines as it reduces acidity through the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid. However, successful MLF can be difficult to achieve due to yeast antagonism of the bacterium responsible for the secondary fermentation, Oenococcus oeni. In particular, yeast produced sulfur...

Expansion of scouringrush (Equisetum spp. L.) : crop interference and control options in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and chemical fallow cropping cropping systems

Creator:: Kerbs, Blake D.
Abstract:: Scouringrushes (Equisetum hyemale L.; E. xferrissii Clute; E. laevigatum L.) are ancient perennial seedless vascular plants historically associated with wetlands, low-lying roadsides or field margins with more plant available water. There has been little research conducted on scouringrush species in the context of agricultural production because traditional farming practices confined...

Wheat lignin as a functional dietary fiber component

Creator:: Junyusen, Tiraporn
Abstract:: This dissertation has focused on lignin byproducts that result from the alkali processing of wheat straw. The first study evaluated the application of “standard” lignin quantification methods for summative analyses of alkali-based processes. Mass closure during NaOH processing at 25, 50, and 75°C of wheat straw was evaluated using the...

The economics of forest-dependent regions

Creator:: Biswas, Smita
Abstract:: This dissertation explores two economic phenomena involving forest-dependent areas: wage distribution and migration pattern of individuals. Are forest-dependent rural areas less desirable for workers from the standpoint of labor market returns? Are different skills (e.g. education, experience) rewarded differently in these areas? If there are interregional wage differences, would that...
