  • Agonistic behavior in three species of Microtus (M. canicaudus, M. oregoni, and M. townsendii)

    Creator:
    Weil, James Wayne
    Abstract:
    Agonistic behavior among three species of Microtus live-trapped near Corvallis, Oregon was recorded in order to interpret habitat segregation by the species in areas of syrnpatry. The method used to measure agonistic interaction was similar to that of Colvin (1970). Agonistic behavior was recorded under red light in a neutral...

  • Conformationally chiral diphenylethers and the enantioselective Ullmann etherification

    Creator:
    Salih, M. Quamar
    Abstract:
    Since the discovery of molecular chirality in 1848, this notion has had a substantial impact on medicine, biology, and chemistry. Extensive effort has been directed towards the construction of chiral molecules that contain sp³ hybridized stereogenic centers. In contrast, less effort has been dedicated to molecules that are chiral by...

  • The development of aminal radicals for the synthesis of nitrogen-rich natural products

    Creator:
    Schiedler, David A.
    Abstract:
    Organic compounds which contain one or more nitrogen atoms are especially important as they are disproportionately represented among biologically active molecules. As a result, significant effort has been focused on the development of methods for the synthesis of nitrogenous molecules. We identified the aminal as an under-explored functional group. Despite...

  • Total Synthesis of Goniomitine : Development of Aminal and α-Amino Radicals in the Synthesis of Nitrogen-Rich Natural Products

    Creator:
    Vellucci, Jessica K.
    Abstract:
    Aminal radical intermediates were generated by the method of radical translocation and reacted in C-C bond forming reactions with electronically deficient alkenes (Schiedler et al. Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 6092). Aminal radical intermediates can participate in inter- and intra-molecular reactions using both Bu3SnH and (TMS)₃SiH as hydride donors. Carbon–carbon bonds...

  • Frank and Friendly Pressure : U.S. Liberal Interventionism in the Early Cold War

    Creator:
    Fuller, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    U.S. foreign policy during the period between World War II and the Vietnam War has been described as part of a “nation-­‐building” or “liberal” grand strategy. This thesis contends that understanding U.S. efforts to influence the internal affairs of sovereign states through the spread of liberal values and institutions during...

  • Resource Selection and Space Use of Western Long-eared Myotis (Myotis evotis) in a Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Woodland of Central Oregon

    Creator:
    Anthony, Christopher R.
    Abstract:
    Identifying habitat and spatial requirements of wildlife species across multiple spatial scales is a challenging, yet crucial component of wildlife management. Habitat use of bats is particularly difficult to study, and managing habitat to conserve bats is especially challenging because bats are highly vagile organisms that exploit several different types...

  • Assessment of public awareness of septic systems in rural Benton County

    Creator:
    Gillett, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this study was two-fold: (1) to assess home owners awareness about issues pertaining to their septic systems; (2) and to determine the effect climate, proper care and maintenance have on septic tank performance in rural Benton County. Participants in this study were randomly selected by Benton...

    Creator:
    Johnson, Nathan Christopher
    Abstract:
    The Mariana Swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) (Aves: Apodidae) is endemic to the Mariana Islands, where it currently occurs on Saipan, Aguiguan, and Guam. An introduced population of Mariana Swiftlets is also present on O'ahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Sparing interference with the endangered population in the Marianas, the introduced, surrogate population...

  • Quantifying linear disturbance growth in periodic and aperiodic systems

    Creator:
    Wolfe, Christopher Lee
    Abstract:
    The mathematical and physical connections between three different ways of quantifying linear predictability in geophysical fluid systems are studied in a series of analytical and numerical models. Normal modes, as they are traditionally formulated in the instabilities theories of geophysical fluid dynamics, characterize the asymptotic development of disturbances to stationary...

  • The interrelatedness of sexual intimacy and relationship development

    Creator:
    Christopher, F. Scott
    Abstract:
    Fifty-four premarital couples were interviewed in an attempt to: (a) delineate pathways of premarital involvement; (b) investigate differences in the relationships of individuals who follow different pathways; and (c) examine which background variables predispose individuals to follow a specific pathway. Four sexual pathway types were established using a cluster analytic...
