  • Some techniques for determining fecal output and digestibility of range forage by cattle

    Creator:
    Pryor, William Joseph
    Abstract:
    A Cr₂0₃, and cellulose fibre mixture was used with cattle, in three grazing and two semi-restricted experiments, to study the mode of its excretion, the possibility of using it in a once-daily dosing and grab-sample regime to estimate fecal output and in a field experiment to test a hypothesis involving...

  • J.H. Woodger and the emergence of supra-empirical orders of discussion in early twentieth century biology

    Creator:
    Allen, Marshall William
    Abstract:
    This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...

  • The detection of superoxide and implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    Creator:
    Robinson, Kristine M.
    Abstract:
    Mutations to superoxide dismutase were the first proven cause of Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS) implicating superoxide in the selective death of motor neurons that characterizes ALS. Nitric oxide competes effectively with superoxide dismutase for superoxide to form the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite. Endogenous formation of peroxynitrite can kill...

  • Stream habitat classification and restoration in the Blue Mountians of northeast Oregon

    Creator:
    Ebersole, Joseph Lamar
    Abstract:
    The restoration of rivers and streams should be based on a strong conceptual framework. Streams are developing systems. As such, streams exhibit temporal behaviors that change with changing stream environments. Underlying the dynamic development of streams is potential capacity. Streams express this capacity as an array of habitats over time...

  • Effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on marine phytoplankton

    Creator:
    Behrenfeld, Michael Joseph
    Abstract:
    Global increases in ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR:290- 320 nm) resulting from decreases in stratospheric ozone concentration have the potential to alter marine primary production and affect global climate and marine trophic dynamics. Effects of UVBR on phytoplankton carbon fixation were determined from open ocean exposure studies conducted off the coast of...

  • The effects of pathogens, UV-B radiation, and introduced species on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Kiesecker, Joseph Michael
    Abstract:
    I examined two amphibian communities to assess factors that may impact amphibian biodiversity. The results suggest that the potential factors which influence the maintenance of amphibian biodiversity are multi-faceted and thus, attempts to understand these factors must reflect these complexities. I investigated factors that influenced the susceptibility of western toad...

  • A selective medium for isolation of Bacteriodes nodosus

    Creator:
    Gradin, Joseph Lloyd
    Abstract:
    The sensitivity of Bacteroides nodosus, causative agent of sheep foot rot, to 24 selected antimicrobial agents was tested. Many contaminants ordinarily associated with foot rot lesions were sensitive to lincomycin while B nodosus demonstrated resistance to this antibiotic. A concentration of 1.08 μg of lincomycin/ml of basal medium optimally inhibited...

  • The adaptive significance of certain enzyme polymorphisms in steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri)

    Creator:
    Redding, Joseph Michael
    Abstract:
    Mean weights, lengths, and condition factors of three isozyme phenotypes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme differed significantly for experimentally reared winter steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) fry. Time of emergence from the gravel was unrelated to LDH phenotype. Relative mortality of the phenotypes between eyed-egg stage and emergence was unaffected by...
