Embryonic and Larval Zebrafish Bioassays for Biomedical Research : The Larval Photomotor Response Screening Assay and Phenotype

Creator:: Fisher, Joseph A.
Abstract:: Laboratories around the world are using the zebrafish model for biomedical research and conducting investigations using morphological, physiological, behavioral, and genomic endpoints. All assays provide information, but physiological and behavioral endpoints or phenotypes are a fast way to understand how an animal is responding to its environment. We investigate the...

Biology, ecology and management of Scaptomyza apicalis Hardy (Diptera : Drosophilidae) on meadowfoam, Limnanthes alba benth in western Oregon

Creator:: Panasahatham, Sarote
Abstract:: Biology of Scaptomyza apicalis Hardy (Diptera: Drosophilidae) was studied in relation to its host, meadowfoam, Limnanthes alba, a recent oil seed crop grown in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Populations of flies and larvae were monitored weekly over three consecutive crop-years beginning in 1996. Yellow sticky traps gave relative population estimates...

Evaluating benthic macroinvertebrates as bio-indicators of freshwater habitat quality in an eastern Oregon agro-ecosystem

Creator:: Scherr, Melissa A.
Abstract:: The effect of anthropogenic disturbance on river systems is gaining attention, and concerns about the state of freshwater natural resources are increasing globally, as are efforts to restore habitat that has been degraded by disturbance. In rivers, non-point source pollution affects the physical characteristics of the habitat and the endemic...

Phenology and monitoring of the cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.), in brassica root crops

Creator:: Dreves, Amy J.
Abstract:: In Oregon’s northern Willamette Valley, cabbage maggot (CM), Delia radicum (L.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) often renders Brassica root crops unmarketable. Scheduled insecticides are the only current control. Studies were conducted to: 1) describe and characterize spring emergence of CM flies and their seasonal flight activity relative to degree-day (DD) accumulations; 2)...

A study of student characteristics, attitudes, and attrition from secretarial science programs in seven selected two-year post-secondary educational institutions in Alberta

Creator:: Fisher, Harold Melvin
Abstract:: Mounting inflationary economic pressures and the obvious spiralling costs of education, at all levels, has drastically augmented public, administrative, and government concern regarding the effectiveness of many educational training programs. Secretarial Science, which is designed to provide occupational-level training represents such a program. Therefore, this study was conducted in order...

Use of a geographical information system to modify pheromone trap-based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) damage

Creator:: Drapek, Raymond James
Abstract:: The GRASS (V. 4.0) geographical information system (GIS) was used to test the hypothesis that pheromone trap based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) damage in processed sweet corn could be improved by considering spatial patterns of corn plantings and wind blocking features around the trap. Wind blocking features include: tree...

Sampling and management of garden symphylans (Scutigerella immaculata Newport) in western Oregon

Creator:: Umble, Jon R.
Abstract:: Garden symphylans (Scutigerella immaculata Newport) are increasingly important pests of below-ground parts of over 100 crops in Oregon. The focus of our work was to improve S. immaculata management through 1) development of a bait sampling method, 2) examination of the susceptibility of selected crops to S. immaculata feeding in...

Vaccine beliefs of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) providers in Oregon

Creator:: Bean, Sandra J.
Abstract:: Health care providers, including complementary and alternative medical (CAM) practitioners, exert a significant influence on parental pediatric vaccination decisions. Use of CAM therapies is increasing in Oregon. Concomitantly, there has been a decade-long increase in parental vaccine refusal in Oregon, rising from 1 to 5 percent from 2000-2009. For example,...

Understanding the Influence of Perceived Usefulness of Evidence Based Interventions and Employee Morale on the Relationship between Participatory Internal Communication and Program Fidelity

Creator:: Osibanjo, Oyindamola I.
Abstract:: Translation of efficacious programs into real-world settings is an important step in ensuring improved public health outcomes. Yet, the process of translating evidence-based interventions (EBIs) according to fidelity is fraught with challenges. Organizational factors, specifically organizational communication, have been shown to influence translation processes. To date, there is limited research...
