Development, evaluation and application of a mixed-family selective breeding method for the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Matson, Sean Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation develops mixed family selection for Pacific oysters using marker-based pedigree reconstruction. It focuses on improving the efficiency of parentage assignment, determining the optimum life stage to mix oyster families for rearing and selection, comparing mixed-family and separate-family selective breeding in the field, and applying the mixed method to...

Wavelet analysis : linking multi-scalar pattern detection to ecological monitoring

Creator:: Anthony, Jill Ada Marie
Abstract:: Wavelet analysis is an analytical and modeling tool for optimizing sampling efficiency and accuracy, particularly in the context of designing long-term, large-scale monitoring plans. As a pattern analysis method that accommodates and preserves non-stationarity, wavelet analysis provides novel visualization and analytical capabilities for increased insight into interactions between multi-scalar heterogeneous...

Equilibria in the ion exchange systems H⁺¹-CS⁺¹, H⁺²-Sr⁺², H⁺¹-Ce⁺³, Cs⁺¹-Sr⁺², Sr⁺²-Ce⁺³, H⁺¹-Cs⁺¹-Sr⁺², H⁺¹-Cs⁺¹-Ce⁺³ and H⁺¹-Sr⁺²-Ce⁺³

Creator:: Meyer, Walter
Abstract:: A new method for determining ion exchange equilibrium data by liquid scintillation counting of the equilibrated solution phase is described. This method has been applied to determine equilibria between Dowex 50W X8, a commercial strong cation exchange resin, and binary and ternary solution containing the varying combinations of H⁺¹, Cs⁺¹,...

Public Participation in Urban Policy – Solution Papers Founded on Objectivity and Mutual Respectfulness

Creator:: Zarins, Eriks
Abstract:: In recent times, public policy debates in the United States have been very contentious and dysfunctional. To help improve this situation, a multi-discipline research effort was conducted to look at "solution papers" as a form of public participation. Specifically, the roles of objectivity and mutual respectfulness were under consideration. Foundational...

A study of the effects of a pre-retirement workshop on the measured level of self-actualization of university civil service employees

Creator:: Meyer, Sheldon Lee
Abstract:: This study was designed to determine whether University of Oregon civil service classified staff pre-retirees participating in a pre-retirement workshop would demonstrate a significant increase in self-actualization when compared with a similar group of University of Oregon civil service classified staff pre-retirees who did not participate in the above mentioned...

Chlamydiae Enhance Self-Antigen Presentation in a Mechanism that is Dependent on Biosynthesis of Lipooligosaccharide

Creator:: Cram, Erik D.
Abstract:: Chlamydia is a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria that undergo a unique, biphasic developmental cycle. The infectious and metabolically inert Elementary Bodies (EBs) begin the cycle of infection by attaching and invading a host cells. Once inside, the EBs differentiate into the metabolically active, dividing Reticulate Bodies (RBs) within their...

Landscape composition around northern spotted owl nests, central Cascade Mountains, Oregon

Creator:: Swindle, Keith A.
Abstract:: This study describes the composition of forest landscapes surrounding northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) nests in the central Cascade Mountains of Oregon. I compared forest composition around 126 owl nests in 70 pair territories with forest composition around 119 points drawn randomly from all terrestrial cover-types, and around 104...

Characteristics of a functional organization : a case study of the Portland Rose Festival Association

Creator:: Newbore, Lisa M.
Abstract:: This research addresses the functional characteristics of a single organization. It specifically investigates one of the largest festival organizations in the United States, The Portland Rose Festival Association (PRFA). In this case, three groups within the PRFA are its foundation: the paid staff, the executive committee, and the volunteer directors....

Residue management and yield characteristics of fine fescue seed crops

Creator:: Schumacher, Derek David
Abstract:: Chewings fescue [Festuca rubra L. subsp. fallax (Thuill.) Nyman] is a desired turfgrass with dense sod forming capabilities and superior shade tolerance. Thermal residue management (open-field burning) has traditionally been used to remove post-harvest residue and maintain seed yield over the life of the stand. However, alternative non-thermal residue management...

An examination of terminal and instrumental values of selected Oregon State University students

Creator:: Norelius, Caroline F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was twofold; first, to identify the values held by Oregon State University students, and second, to determine if the values of OSU students are different from samples previously surveyed. A further purpose of the study was to develop baseline data on a cross-section of the...
