Botanical composition and diet quality of beef cattle grazing at three stocking rates following fuels reduction in mixed conifer forests

Creator:: Clark, Abe A.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of forest fuels reduction on the diet quality, botanical composition, relative preference, and foraging efficiency of beef cattle grazing at different stocking rates. A split plot factorial design was used, with the whole plots (3 ha) being fuel reduced or no treatment...

Response to Hypoxia in the staghorn sculpin, (Leptocottus armatus)

Creator:: Wagner, Sara Anne
Abstract:: Long-term subae lal survival has been anecdotally noted in the staghorn sculpin, Leptocottus armatus. In this study, I quantified this phenomenon physiologically by examining the following parameters: standard metabolic rate and indications of reduced standard metabolic rate during subaerial exposure; capacity for and mechanism(s) of oxygen consumption in air; capacity...

Factors affecting coho salmon production in Oregon

Creator:: Scarnecchia, Dennis Leslie
Abstract:: Eight scale characters of known hatchery and wild coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were compared, and a linear discriminant function was used to determine if hatchery and wild adult coho salmon could be correctly identified by their scales. Eighty-two percent of the hatchery and 89% of the wild fish were correctly...

'Reclaiming Voice : Enacting Social Discourse Communities in Belizean First-Year College Composition'

Creator:: Habet, André Antonio
Abstract:: This thesis explores the evolving purposes for the teaching of first-year English composition in Belize. Starting from an analysis of the underlying cultural assumptions of U.S. composition pedagogies, this thesis argues that American composition pedagogies need to be rethought when applied in a Belizean context to fulfill the country's unique...

Composing for Social Change : Clashes of Ideographs and Ideology in the Composition Classroom

Creator:: Gasser, Chris
Abstract:: Clashes of ideology are all around us, from our computer and television screens to our composition classrooms, and they merit attention within the composition classroom. This thesis examines the justifications and pedagogies that scholars in rhetoric and composition use to infuse issues of ideology and social ethics into writing instruction...

Determination of α-Amylase activity and soluble starch content in normal and cork spotted D̀'Anjou' pear fruit

Creator:: Li, Shiao Jing
Abstract:: There was a linear relationship of [alpha]-amylase activity from 2 to 12 hours incubation in both freeze-dried and fresh 'd'Anjou' pear fruit tissue. Activity was greater, however, in fresh as compared with freeze-dried tissues. [alpha]-Amylase activity from both types of samples was not detected until 60 minutes incubation. After 90...

Vertical distribution patterns of plankton and their relationship to physical factors over the continental shelf off Oregon

Creator:: Sutor, Malinda
Abstract:: Discrete layers of phytoplankton and zooplankton were observed over the Oregon continental shelf in summer and fall of 2001 and summer 2002 using optical and acoustical technologies and a pump sampling system. Layers of phytoplankton had steep vertical gradients which were associated with gradients in density and local peaks in...

A comparison of experimental mode I analysis methods for the interlaminar fracture toughness characterization of graphite/epoxy composite materials

Creator:: Keary, Paul Edward
Abstract:: Three approaches for evaluating mode I interlaminar strain energy release rates in graphite/epoxy composites were compared using experimental data from double cantilever beam specimens. Expressions for evaluating strain energy release rates were arrived at based on assumptions regarding specimen geometry and material behavior. The calculations included the direct method of...
