The impact of three stocking intensities and four grazing treatments on the carbohydrate reserves of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

Creator:: El Hassan, Babiker Ahmed, 1940-
Abstract:: A study was conducted during 1974 and 1975 to evaluate the impact of stocking intensity and season of grazing upon carbohydrate concentration, biomass of storage organs, and total carbohydrate per plant in the roots and crowns of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in improved rangelands in Western Oregon. The stocking...

Hot electron transport and relaxation in quantum wells and superlattices

Creator:: Lary, Jenifer Edith
Abstract:: Electron transport and relaxation may be substantially different in low-dimensional systems compared to that observed in bulk material. In the present work, Monte Carlo models are used for the solution to the Boltzmann transport equation, with scattering rates calculated quantum mechanically for superlattice and quantum wells. Carrier relaxation following optical...

Genetic and phenotypic variation associated with the resistance gene SOD1 in Biomphalaria glabrata, an important intermediate host of Schistosomiasis

Creator:: Bonner, Kaitlin M.
Abstract:: Schistosomiasis afflicts 200 million people and is responsible for 200,000 deaths per year. The infection is caused by a digenean trematode in the genus Schistosoma. The parasite must cycle through both a vertebrate (human) and invertebrate (snail) host to complete the life cycle. My dissertation focuses on the genetic mechanisms...

Bacterial Predation in Host Microbiomes

Creator:: Welsh, Rory M.
Abstract:: In host-associated microbiomes, the mechanisms that regulate community composition or the principles that govern dynamics remain far from clear. However, understanding how the structure of microbial communities shift as the system moves away from a healthy state is critical to assessing disease progression and to formulate any potential mitigation strategy....

Coding Techniques for Achieving Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks

Creator:: Qassim, Yousef M.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we explored multiple coding techniques to reduce energy consumption, improve performance, and secure wireless sensor networks specifically and ad-hoc networks in general. With the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G technologies, wireless sensor networks are quickly emerging as an important and key technology in the...

Effects of Biochar and Nitrogen-Enriched Soil Amendments on Plant Growth, Mineral Nutrition, and Early Fruit Production in Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium sp.)

Creator:: Sales, Bryan K.
Abstract:: The goal of the work in this dissertation was to identify alternative soil amendments to improve plant growth and yield during establishment of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium hybrid). Woody materials, such as sawdust and wood chips, have a high carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio and low water holding capacity, which can...

Utilization of wastes from Pacific whiting surimi manufacturing : proteinases and protein hydrolysate

Creator:: Benjakul, Soottawat
Abstract:: Both liquid and solid wastes from Pacific whiting surimi manufacturing were characterized and value-added products were recovered. A proteinase in surimi wash water (SWW) was determined to be cathepsin L with Mr 54,200 on SDS-substrate gel. Heat treatment and acidification shifted the activity zone to M [subscript r] 39,500. No...

Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) management using wheat (Triticum aestivum) as a false host

Creator:: Al-thahabi, Salam A.
Abstract:: Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) is an obligate, chlorophyll-lacking parasite that parasitizes red clover (Trifolium pratense) roots. This study was conducted to develop and implement an integrated, biologically based control program for small broomrape by using wheat as a false host to reduce the soil seed bank. The relationship between temperature...

The effects of environmental stressors on cardiac gene expression and contractility in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Momoda, Tracey S.
Abstract:: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) experience a variety of stressors in their natural environment as well as in aquaculture that can have negative effects on their physiology. The effects of physiological stress and endocrine disruption have been well described in fish. However, there is a scarcity of information on the effects...

Host and Pathogen Genetics in the Sharp Eyespot Disease of Wheat

Creator:: Liu, Jiang
Abstract:: Wheat sharp eyespot (SES), caused by the soil-borne fungus Rhizoctonia cerealis is a common stem disease of wheat globally. The disease caused a severe and extensive epidemic throughout the Willamette Valley of Oregon in 2014 and has remained one of the most important wheat diseases in this region. However, litte...
