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...

Mars and Popular Astronomy, 1890-1910

Creator:: Simpson, Emily M.
Abstract:: Beginning in the late-nineteenth century, several dialogues emerged concerning life on Mars. Some supported the notion of an inhabited Mars, citing recent observations of the planet, while others, pointing to a lack of concrete evidence, denied the validity of such a bold hypothesis. The dialogues within and between different...

Dig Sites and Domesticity: Jessie Camp and the 1947 University of California Africa Expedition

Creator:: Fraas, Picabo K.
Abstract:: In 1947, scientists from the University of California departed for a fifteen-month expedition to Africa. Jessie Camp, wife of the head paleontologist Dr. Charles L. Camp, had no official position on the expedition. Yet in performing her traditional domestic duties, she greatly contributed to the overall success of the expedition....

Feeding Victory: The Challenge of Agriculture, Food Distribution, and Nutrition During the Second World War in the United Kingdom and Germany

Creator:: Paoli, Gus R.
Abstract:: The Second World War was not just a military struggle but also a struggle between two different agriculture, food distribution, and nutrition systems in the United Kingdom and Nazi Germany. At the start of the war, both countries understood that food and nutrition would play an important role and carefully...

Rocks and reactors : an atomic interpretation of human rights, 1941-1979

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...

The Scientist’s Imagination: Cold War Politics and Nuclear Futures in Leo Szilard’s Fact and Fiction

Creator:: Dvorak, Anna Elizabeth
Abstract:: The story of Leo Szilard has not been told in its full complexity. This is especially so of the role imagination played in Szilard’s worldview. Szilard, like many other scientists in the mid-twentieth century, worked on the Manhattan Project. Like these other wartime participants, the work and relationships formed during...

Morphodynamic Evolution of Coastal Oregon: Using New Lidar-derived Beach and Sand Dune Morphometrics to Explore Multi-decadal Change

Creator:: Light, Jacob W
Abstract:: The coast of Oregon is highly dynamic, with beach and dune morphodynamics constantly evolving in response to physical and ecological forcing at scales ranging from seconds to decades and meters to tens of kilometers. Evaluating spatial and temporal trends in shoreline evolution is paramount in understanding and eventually developing a...

Recovery of High-graded Nothofagus Forests: Building Resilience Through Theory and Practice

Creator:: Soto, Daniel P.
Abstract:: The increasing human demands on natural resources, in combination with uncertainties about ecosystem dynamics due to global change, has led the scientific community to conclude that new approaches in understanding of ecological systems are needed to tackle environmental issues in an efficient manner. One development that has received more attention...

Effect of plant date on subsequent seedling field performance

Creator:: Taylor, Michael Monroe
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Psudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings were outplanted on eight dates (every three weeks from mid-August 2005 through mid-January 2006). On each plant date, seedlings from a conventional dormancy (CONV) induction treatment, including moisture and nutrient stress, and a shortened daylength (SD) treatment were outplanted on three western Oregon sites...

Improved viewshed modelling for estimating effects of neighboring land uses on property values

Creator:: Gjesdahl, Jacob E.
Abstract:: The effect of land uses on neighboring property values is of critical interest to urban planners, developers, and citizens. Property values are in part defined by built structure and lot characteristics, locational attributes (e.g., proximity to amenities and disamenities), and other features such as views from a property. The effects...
