Meta-sedimentary bedrock as an alternative source of water for forest ecosystems in a Mediterranean climate

Creator:: Zwieniecki, Maciej A.
Abstract:: Evaluation of meta-sedimentary bedrock as a source of stored water available to plants in a mediterranean climate is presented based on: root length distribution (RLD), root morphology, rock water holding capacity and seasonal pattern of water depletion. Studies were performed in southwestern Oregon under young stands of whiteleaf manzanita, ponderosa...

Molecular characterization of an HIV-1 drug target and antiviral compound development

Creator:: Maselko, Maciej
Abstract:: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) has been the source of substantial human misery since it was first discovered in the early 1980s. Despite remarkable progress that has been made towards understanding HIV- 1, there is no cure, no vaccine and life-prolonging therapies are beyond the reach of millions in...

Targeted development of antivirals against influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus

Creator:: Lupfer, Christopher
Abstract:: Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...

Integrated Spatial and Temporal Stochastic Model in Radiation Biology : Design, Implementation, and Application

Creator:: Liu, Ruirui
Abstract:: Mathematical modeling plays a pivotal role in understanding the mechanism of radiation-induced cellular effects, and also in quantifying the radiation risk to the cell. However, there are still compelling challenges facing the conventional modeling in radiobiology, such as lacking a generalized theory structure of quantifying target effect and non-target effect...

Dead fuels and understory vegetation six years after a large mixed-severity wildfire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Nathanson, Amy
Abstract:: Though the mixed-evergreen forests of the Klamath Siskiyous have a long history of large, mixed-severity fires, most research in this region has concentrated on the impacts of high-severity fire. Knowledge of the ecological effects of low- and moderate-severity areas within mixed-severity fires is important because such areas may account for...

Stem sapwood water transport and storage strategies in three conifers from contrasting climates

Creator:: Barnard, David M.
Abstract:: The state of Oregon has two distinct climate types bisected by the crest of the Cascade Mountain range. The western side of the Cascades experiences high levels of precipitation and mild temperatures due to the maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean, while the eastern side lies in the rain shadow...

Placement of felled western juniper trees over a stream channel : Effects on water temperature, streamside willow shrubs, and redband trout

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: All streams in Oregon that are inhabited by salmon and trout have a statemandated water temperature standard. However, temperatures of many streams, especially during summer months, exceed the seven-day average maximum temperature parameter (200 C for redband trout inhabited streams) accepted by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. To date,...

The influence of environmental and physical factors on the thermal patterns of headwater streams

Creator:: Carr, Craig A.
Abstract:: A case study was performed in 2000 and 2001 to characterize the thermal pattern of four morphologically similar eastern Oregon streams and to identify the physical and environmental factors that expressed significant and functionally viable relationships with stream temperature (daily maximum, daily minimum and daily rate of heating). Stream and...

Policy Patterns across Riverscapes : Riparian Land Standards in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Boisjolie, Brett A.
Abstract:: Land management policies are ideas about nature projected onto the landscape. Culminations of social, economic, and scientific influences, these policies create standards affecting the function of ecological systems. In the case of riparian lands in the Oregon Coast Range, policy requirements vary considerably across federal, state, and private land ownerships....

Host-pathogen Interactions of Respiratory RNA Viruses and the Application of Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Viral Diagnostics

Creator:: Prescott, Meagan A.
Abstract:: Humans and viral disease are inextricably intertwined. Viral disease plays an immeasurable role in human life, from the disease and economic burden associated with every facet of contending with human viral disease, to managing the consequences of viral disease in organisms important to our food supply, economy, and entertainment. The...
