Low Level Quantification of 1,4-Dioxane and Investigation of 1,4-Dioxane Co-Metabolism by Mycobacterium sp. 1A.

Creator:: McKeage, Kevin J.
Abstract:: 1,4-Dioxane (dioxane) is a probable human carcinogen and is often found comingled with chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon (CAH) contamination since dioxane is used as a stabilizer in CAH solutions. Dioxane is miscible in water, has a low K[subscript ow], low H[subscript cc], and is highly recalcitrant in the environment. The presence...

Synthesis of novel ambifunctional atropisomeric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls and investigation of their properties and organocatalytic activity

Creator:: Sephton, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Ambifunctional axially chiral 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls containing nucleophilic (or basic) functional groups juxtaposed with hydrogen-bond donors were synthesized and their properties studied. Applications for the prepared biaryls as potential organocatalysts for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions were examined. Processes investigated included: aldol, Michael, nitroaldol (Henry), and Baylis-Hillman reactions. The novel amidoamine...

Influence of genetic factors and pollination on fruit firmness in parthenocarpic and nonparthenocarpic pickling cucumbers

Creator:: Cook, Kevin L., 1967-
Abstract:: A concern which has restricted the use of parthenocarpic pickling cucumbers in the United States has been firmness of fruit processed by brining. Fruit firmness and defects of parthenocarpic and nonparthenocarpic pickling cucumbers were evaluated in 1992 and 1993. Fruits were produced with or without pollination by growing plants with...

“Avoidable Suffering” : Analyzing Healthcare Providers’ Perceptions of Climate Change Impacts

Creator:: Goodman, Rebecca M.
Abstract:: Recent scientific studies show that framing climate change as a health issue rather than an environmental issue were more persuasive with American audience members (Maibach et. al., 2010; Maibach et. al. 2014). Also in 2014, a survey on respiratory healthcare providers and found that a large percentage believed that climate...

Institutional capacity building through land and water stewardship integration - an analysis of source water protection in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Odom, Olivia
Abstract:: Globally, access to safe, reliable drinking water sources is a major challenge of this generation. Protected sources of drinking water provide communities with a sustainable, vital resource, yet many public water suppliers lack legal authority over their source water protection (SWP) area, especially in surface water systems. Absence of legal...

Did the Great Recession change SNAP participation behavior? A panel analysis of two Oregon SNAP participant cohorts

Creator:: Carroll, Joanna M.
Abstract:: This analysis explores potential changes in the behavior of Oregon's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants after the 2008 recession. I examine this using individual-level administrative data from the State of Oregon in a linear probability model and a duration model. After controlling for a standard set of factors known...

Basic and applied studies on Douglas-fir beetle : spatial relationships of infestations, lipids and host habitat, and attraction distances of pheromone-baited traps

Creator:: Dodds, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Three studies on Douglas-fir beetle (DFB), Dendroctonuspseudotsuae, were conducted to investigate its basic and applied biology. Studies included investigations into the spatial relationship of DFB infestations over multiple years and multiple landscapes, relationships between DFB brood adult lipid levels and position of development along the length of tree boles, and...

Larval dispersal in marine fishes: novel methods reveal patterns of self-recruitment and population connectivity

Creator:: Christie, Mark R.
Abstract:: Many marine fish populations are severely declining due to over-fishing, loss of both juvenile and adult habitats, and accelerating environmental degradation. Fisheries management and the implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) and other conservation tools are currently hindered by large gaps in knowledge about larval dispersal and its subsequent effects...

The Schultz Fire: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on its History, Management, and Ecological Effects

Creator:: Ranseen, Susanne N.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the Schultz Fire as a case study to explain the complex history of fire suppression management in America’s forests, and to gain further understanding of how management practices have affected the increase in fire severity levels and how forests respond to such a disturbance. The thesis objectives...
