Water scarcity and reservoir reliability in basins affected by climate and land use change : impacts of hydrogeology, sensitivities, and uncertainties in the Santiam River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Mateus, M. Cristina
Abstract:: Multipurpose management of hydrosystems face a number of uncertainties related to hydrologic variability and nonstationarity. Anticipated air temperature increases in the Pacific Northwest region are projected to alter the timing and quantity of streamflow associated with precipitation shifting from snow to rain, including shorter winter runoff periods, earlier spring runoff,...

Complexity of food web interactions in a large mammal system

Creator:: Eisenberg, Cristina
Abstract:: Food webs consist of a combination of bottom-up (resource-driven) and top-down (predator-driven) effects. The strength of these effects depends on the context in which they occur. I investigated food web (trophic) relationships between wolf (Canis lupus) predation, elk (Cervus elaphus) herbivory, aspen (Populus tremuloides Michaux) recruitment, and fire. The study...

A Novel Method for the Quantitative Assessment of Fingered Robot Hand Designs for In-Hand Manipulation using Human Studies and Object-Centric Benchmarks

Creator:: Morrow, John F., IV
Abstract:: Fingered robot hands are complicated systems made of three essential system components: its morphology, its actuation, and its software control. These system components are tightly coupled to each other. Due to this, it is hard to benchmark robot hand performance in a way to understand the contributions of the individual...

Late Quaternary paleoceanography of the Northeast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans based on diatom transfer functions

Creator:: Lopes, Cristina Isabel Coelho Dias
Abstract:: Modern upwelling conditions and corresponding oceanographic properties are investigated and reconstructed for the Late Quaternary. The oceanographic conditions considered influence diatom ecology and the record of fossil diatom frustules in the sediments. Diatoms from modern sediments are evaluated as paleoceanographic proxies and transfer functions (TFs) are calibrated using the Imbrie...

Nursery, cold storage, and field studies on western conifers inoculated with spores of Pisolithus tinctorius

Creator:: Alvarez, Isabel Fernandez
Abstract:: Inoculations of white fir, Shasta red fir, Douglas fir and ponderosa pine with Pisolithus tinctorius spores when outplanted failed to produce P. tinctorius mycorrhizae at the end of the first growing season. In the third year a few P. tinctorius mycorrhizae were formed on white fir. Inoculations reduced seedling survival...

Patterns of ectomycorrhizal host-fungus specificity in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Molina, R.
Abstract:: Results from approximately 400 fungus-host pure culture inoculations indicate that specificity of ectomycorrhizal associations is a complex phenomenon and cannot be based solely on field observations of sporocarp-host associations. Of the numerous sporocarp-host specific fungi tested, most formed ectomycorrhizae with one or more unexpected, non-associated hosts. These results conclusively demonstrate...

Taxomony and mycorrhizal ecology of the desert truffles in the genus Terfezia

Creator:: Alsheikh, Abdulmagid M.
Abstract:: Mycorrhizal fungi in arid and semiarid rangelands have received little study in southwest Asia and north Africa, although they are important in food production and rangeland productivity. The desert truffles of the genera Terfezia and Tirmania form fruiting-bodies and mycorrhizae with rangeland plants. This thesis treats the taxonomy and the...

Demystifying the Sensationalism of Human Trafficking: an Anthropological Study on the Systemic Exploitation of Migrant Labor in Tuscany, Italy

Creator:: Marconi, Veronica
Abstract:: In the last twenty years, human trafficking has gained attention in government agendas and media coverage, while anti-trafficking projects have burgeoned worldwide. Anti-trafficking efforts, however, have almost exclusively addressed the issue of sex trafficking with a focus on rescuing women, while overlooking other types of exploitation. This is noteworthy, given...

Application of Bootstrap Methods in Bioequivalence Studies for Oral Generic Prodrug Products

Creator:: Li, Wenjing
Abstract:: The methodology to perform bioequivalence studies for prodrug products has not been finalized by FDA leaving the investigators to speculate over the proper approach. This study innovatively utilized the bootstrap methods for testing in vivo bioequivalence on both parent drug and metabolite of four prodrug products: Clopidogrel, Prednisone, Allopurinol, and...

The genus Leucogaster (Basidiomycetes, Leucogastraceae)

Creator:: Fogel, Robert Dale
Abstract:: Three provisional species are described as new: Leucogaster couchii, L. gelatinosus, and L. microsporus. Leucophlebs candida is transferred to Leucogastef, completing the transfer of all Leucophlebs species to Leucogaster. L. columellatus is transferred to Sclerogaster. L. longisterigmatus is synonymized with L. rubescens, L. foveolatus with L. odoratus, and L. fulvimaculatus...
