A study of the vocal behavior of the American robin

Creator:: Benson, Jane Rae
Abstract:: To gain a better foothold on the communication system of the avifauna, calls and songs of the American Robin (Turdus migratorius) were recorded and analyzed using the sound spectrograph. Ten different calls were recognized as follows: three alarm calls, an excitement call, challenge call, contact call, two flight calls and...

The evolutionary stability of partial migration

Creator:: Ohms, Haley A.
Abstract:: Natural selection, in its most basic form, is described as a process in which traitsincrease or decrease in frequency depending on their fitness, and only the trait withthe highest fitness will remain in the population. Yet, populations rarely have asingle `optimal' trait. The way natural selection maintains this observed variationwithin...

Effects of gluten composition and molecular weight distribution on the noodle making potential of hard white wheats

Creator:: Ong, Yee-Ling
Abstract:: A set of flour samples with protein content ranging from 9.7 - 13.3 % was used for this study to evaluate the effectiveness of HMW-GS, SEHPLC and mixograph characteristics as screening tools for noodle texture. The sample set had a large variation in HMW-GS composition with Payne score ranging from...

The combined effects of vegetation control and seedling size class on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedling productivity on a site in Oregon

Creator:: Lefebvre, Robert F.
Abstract:: Controlling competing vegetation with the application of herbicides and increased seedling size at planting has been shown to increase seedling survival and growth. These two important reforestation tools have often been studied independently of each other, limiting comparisons that can be made between them. This study utilized a factorial treatment...

Compatible Discretizations for Maxwell's Equations with General Constitutive Laws

Creator:: McGregor, D. A.
Abstract:: In this thesis we construct compatible discretizations of Maxwell's equations. We use the term compatible to describe numerical methods for Maxwell's equations which obey many properties of vector Calculus in a discrete setting. Compatible discretizations preserve the exterior Calculus ensuring that the divergence of the curl and the curl of...

Characterizing early-seral competitive mechanisms influencing Douglas-fir seedling growth, vegetation community development, and physiology of selected weedy plant species

Creator:: Dinger, Eric J.
Abstract:: Three studies were conducted to characterize and present early-seral competition between Douglas-fir seedlings and the surrounding vegetation communities during Pacific Northwest forest establishment. The first experiment served as the foundation for this dissertation and was designed to quantify tradeoffs associated with delaying forest establishment activities by introducing a fallow year...

Influence of root architectural development on Douglas-fir seedling morphology and physiology

Creator:: Jacobs, Douglass Frederick
Abstract:: A series of experiments were established to gain a better understanding of the extent to which Douglas-fir seeding root architecture may be manipulated and subsequent influences on seedling morphological and physiological development. The incorporation of amendments into nursery soils changed root architecture to some degree, but did not produce large...

Psychedelics and Entheogens : Implications of Administration in Medical and Non-Medical Contexts

Creator:: Kirk, Hannah R.
Abstract:: Psychedelics and entheogens began as religious sacraments. They were apotheosized for their mind-expanding powers and were thought to open realms to the world of the Gods. It was not until the first psychedelic compound was discovered in a laboratory setting a mere hundred years ago that they entered into formal...

The influence of sex, migration distance, and latitude on expression of anadromy in Oncorhynchus mykiss

Creator:: Ohms, Haley
Abstract:: The evolution and maintenance of multiple phenotypes within populations is an interesting evolutionary and ecological question, and is becoming increasingly important for the restoration and conservation of partially migratory species. In particular, why individuals adopt a particular phenotype has been the focus of numerous research efforts. In the partially migratory...

Three essays on constrained markets

Creator:: Siegel, Ryan
Abstract:: The three essays in this dissertation progressively answer the following questions: (a) How important are constraints? (b) Who benefits from removing constraints? (c) When does a constraint for a single market predominantly affect closely related markets? These questions are applied in the context of time, weather, and minimum wage constraints,...

Multivariate control charts for nonconformities

Creator:: Chattinnawat, Wichai
Abstract:: When the nonconformities are independent, a multivariate control chart for nonconformities called a demerit control chart using a distribution approximation technique called an Edgeworth Expansion, is proposed. For a demerit control chart, an exact control limit can be obtained in special cases, but not in general. A proposed demerit control...

Glutenin macropolymer in salted and alkaline noodles and its relation with dough properties and cooked noodle texture

Creator:: Ong, Yee-Ling
Abstract:: Glutenin protein molecules can form a large "macropolymer" which forms the elastic component of the gluten complex in wheat flour doughs. Little work has been done to investigate relationships between glutenin macropolymer (GMP) and noodle processing. GMP was isolated from flour of 4 wheat varieties; 3 hard- and 1 soft-grained...

Perceptions of High School Student Athletes and Non-Athletes, Teachers, and Administrators Relevant to the Drug and Alcohol Prevention Policy: A Case Study

Creator:: Hess, Ashleigh E.
Abstract:: In public high schools, drug and alcohol prevention programs and policies have been ineffective in their deterrence of drug and alcohol use and abuse (Skager R., 2007). It is important to consider the needs of students and to create an effective, student centered drug and alcohol prevention program and policy....

Robin : an experimental protocol for asynchronous serial lines

Creator:: Chum, Hon Pan
Abstract:: Computer networking research has been going on for almost twenty years; however, most of the protocols concern high and low speed synchronous transmission. All synchronous communication needs special transmission lines. The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocols, Ethernet, X.25, X windows system are very successful protocols. Less work has been...

Computing Resource Usage as a Factor of Student Success

Creator:: Moissinac, Béatrice
Abstract:: Learning Analytics and other branches of Educational Research such as Computing Education Research (CER) implicitly assume that students, especially college students, have no barriers to access learning platforms or software packages. This assumption may be attributed to such pervasive beliefs such as "everyone has a device", or "everyone can access...

Enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizers for nitrogen management in the Columbia Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Holcomb, Jess Charles
Abstract:: Ammonia (NH₃) volatilization can result in a substantial amount of surface applied nitrogen (N) being lost into the atmosphere, making it an environmental pollutant as well as reducing plant-available N. However, N can also be easily lost from the soil through leaching, and nitrous oxide (NO₂). Enhanced efficiency N fertilizers...
