  • Conservation of arthropod natural enemies in broccoli with relay strip-cropping

    Creator:
    McGrath, Daniel M. (Daniel Morton)
    Abstract:
    Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...

  • Deformation imaging

    Creator:
    Margiocco, Marco L.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in the field of clinical echocardiography allow the ultrasonographer to objectively quantify both regional and global myocardial function. Regional deformation (Strain) and deformation rate (Strain Rate) are novel indices of ventricular function that can be estimated non-invasively by ultrasonographic interrogation of the heart. Deformation Imaging (DI)represents a family...

  • Assessing the role of reactive metal species in soil organic matter cycling using chemical imaging

    Creator:
    Keiluweit, Marco
    Abstract:
    Intimate associations with reactive metal species permanently protect soil organic matter (SOM) from microbial access and oxidation, contributing to the build-up of organic carbon (C) stocks in soils. It is increasingly recognized, however, that such associations can be reversible and that reactive metal species might even facilitate the oxidation of...

  • Persistence of aromatic compounds in soils and sediments : a molecular perspective

    Creator:
    Keiluweit, Marco
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores open questions regarding molecular forms and interactions of natural and synthetic aromatic compounds present in soils and sediments. Plant biomass-derived black carbon (biochar) generated through incomplete natural and anthropogenic combustion processes is a major source of aromaticity in terrestrial ecosystems. Chapter one represents a detailed account of...

  • Non-viral Vectors for Ocular Gene Delivery

    Creator:
    Herrera-Barerra, Marco, F.
    Abstract:
    Nucleic acid therapeutics has cemented itself as one of the most efficacious and robust avenues for treatment of a wide range of diseases from vaccine development to treatment of liver, retina, cancer applications. Non-viral mediated gene delivery using lipid-based nanoparticle (LNP) carriers has proven its compatibility with addressing unexpected, fast...

  • The relationship between income and food insecurity : the role of social support in rural and urban Oregonians

    Creator:
    De Marco, Molly M.
    Abstract:
    Millions of U.S. households experienced hunger in 2005 and millions more experienced food insecurity. Previous research indicates that low-wage work and little social support contribute to food insecurity. Research also suggests that individuals cope by finding alternate food sources and drawing on social support. Further, researchers have found that rural...

  • From germplasm development to variety release : the Oregon State University food barley experience

    Creator:
    Meints, Brigid M. A.
    Abstract:
    Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the oldest known domesticated crops. Originally cultivated for human consumption, other end-uses have gained importance over the millennia. Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop in the world (FAO-STAT, 2011), and today it is mainly used as animal feed or malted for...

  • Design techniques for wideband low-power Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Wang, Yan
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are traditionally used in high quality audio systems, instrumentation and measurement (I&M) and biomedical devices. With the continued downscaling of CMOS technology, they are becoming popular in wideband applications such as wireless and wired communication systems,high-definition television and radar systems. There are two general realizations...

  • Network Analysis and Change-point Detection

    Creator:
    Xu, Jiarui
    Abstract:
    Analysis of observations on sequential events over time is common in real life. Sequential measurements over time describing the behavior of systems are usually called time series data, which have been collected in a wide range of disciplines. Over the years there have been multiple research areas in studying stochastic...

    Creator:
    Wu, Che-Yu
    Abstract:
    In Dual-ion Batteries, anions as charge carriers might be a potential technique of energy storage. While fluoride anion has been selected as a promising charge carrier for energy storage due to its high charge/mass ratio and small ionic radius, carbonate anion has never been reported as a charge carrier for...
