Effects of fall lifting and long-term freezer storage on ponderosa pine seedling physiology and quality

Creator:: Omi, Steven Katsu
Abstract:: Two-year-old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) seedlings from two Oregon seed sources were lifted three times in the fall, stored below freezing (-1.5°C), and compared to seedlings that were handled conventionally (spring lifting followed by short-term cold storage, 2-4°C). Based on patterns of budbreak in a greenhouse and...

Seed set and the proportion of progeny due to self-fertilization in a Douglas-fir seed orchard

Creator:: Omi, Steven Katsu
Abstract:: The effects of clonal variability, crown position of cones, and top-pruning of ramets to reduce height growth, on 1) the proportion of viable self-fertilized progeny (s) and 2) the proportion of filled seeds (PF), were investigated in a 20 year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.1 Franco) seed orchard. Cones were collected...

Digital Fourier Holographic Microscopy and Potential Applications Towards the Design of Photodynamic Therapy of Osteosarcoma

Creator:: Rossi, Vincent Michele
Abstract:: This work entails both imaging and therapeutic applications of biomedical optics. In both contexts, an understanding of light transport in tissues is necessary. An overview of optical transport in tissues is given, including scattering theory. Digital Fourier holographic microscopy is introduced and applied as a means of metrology via optical...

Nutritional and managerial considerations for wintering beef cattle in the northern Great Basin

Creator:: Brandyberry, Steven D.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to determine effects of year and season on diet quality of beef cattle grazing northern Great Basin rangelands from 1990 to 1993. Forage quality was high early in the growing season, then declined as seasons progressed (P<.05). Plant chemical composition was higher early in the growing...

Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis of niobium for characterization of light interstitials

Creator:: Love, Ian J.
Abstract:: High purity niobium metal is used in the construction of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities in superconducting particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN or the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The usual method for characterizing the impurities in this niobium, the...

Dynamics and control of continuous crystallizers

Creator:: Leu, Lii-ping
Abstract:: The theoretical analysis of an unseeded, isothermal mixed-suspension mixed-product-removal (MSMPR) crystallizer with a fines trap is developed. The lumped parameter system equations are presented for a homogeneous nucleation and a number-dependent secondary-nucleation model. Linear stability analysis and system simulations are used to investigate the system's dynamic behavior. Modal control algorithms...

Dividing Complex Parts into Multiple Pieces for Advanced Joining and Additive Manufacturing

Creator:: Massoni, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Poor material utilization is inherent to conventional manufacturing processes, leading to high material waste and machining times. Additive manufacturing processes attempt to solve this issue by allowing production of near-net shapes, but the processes may be too expensive or infeasible. By leveraging both processes in a single part, the waste...

The effects of copper supplementation and breed on milk fatty acid profile

Creator:: Sumner, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of dietary copper (Cu) on Cu status and lipid metabolism in Holstein and Jersey cattle. Eight Jersey and8 Holstein cows in mid-lactation were blocked by days in milk (169 ± 37) and assigned at random to one of two diets. Cows received...

Genomics of migration : from marine distributions of salmonids to mechanisms of olfactory and magnetic cue perception for natal homing

Creator:: Bellinger, M. Renee
Abstract:: Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception....

Differences Between Public Attention and Understanding of School Budget Formats Published in Newspapers

Creator:: Mason, Sue Cockeram
Abstract:: This thesis study attempts to differentiate between attention and understanding as separate phases of communication theory. To do this, additional analysis was made of data already gathered from a random sample of Oregonians by the Survey Research Center at Oregon State University. An additional objective was to determine the role...
