Wave runup : Physics, variability, and societal impacts

Creator:: García Medina, Gabriel
Abstract:: The U.S. Pacific Northwest is home to one of the most extreme wave climates in the world with waves of 10 m in height arriving to the coast approximately each year. With an average water temperature of 12℃, the beaches in the region are too cold to go on a...

Effects of Different Strength Levels on the Ability of Older Adults to Recover from Backward or Forward Balance Losses

Creator:: Haberly, Gabriel J.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are an important concern due to the potential injuries associated with falling. Decreases in muscle strength as a result of natural aging could impair the ability of older adults to prevent either a backward or forward fall. Two musculoskeletal models were used to predict the effect...

Diseases of Rhododendron and Boxwood: Survey and Virulence of Phytophthora Root Rot and Management of Boxwood Blight with Systemic Fungicides

Creator:: Sacher, Gabriel
Abstract:: Diseases can be a substantial threat to woody plant production, a major industry in Oregon. Boxwood (Buxus spp.) and rhododendron (Rhododendron subgenus Rhododendron and Hymenanthes) represent the top two broadleaf evergreen woody plants by farmgate value in Oregon. Historically, Phytophthora root rot has been considered the most destructive disease of...

Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

Creator:: Garcia, Carlos Manalo
Abstract:: The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...

Water management effects on birdsfoot trefoil seed production

Creator:: García-Díaz, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: There is no information available on water management of birdsfoot trefoil grown for seed. Information is also not available describing how to minimize seed losses due to shattering in order to obtain consistently high birdsfoot trefoil seed yields. The objectives of this research are to: (i) quantify crop water use,...

Effects of Aquatic Resource Subsidies on the Ecology of Terrestrial Top Predators

Creator:: Eriksson, Charlotte E.
Abstract:: Energetic resources transferred between distinct habitats or ecosystems, referred to as allochthonous resources, can greatly subsidize consumers in the recipient habitat, and thus influence food web structure and dynamics. Such subsidies may allow the growth of the consumer population to be decoupled from in situ productivity with effects on consumer...

Studies toward the total synthesis of alkaloids : nagelamide A and D, agelastatin D, dragmacidin A-C, salacin and almazoles

Creator:: Tonsiengsom, Sorasaree
Abstract:: Studies toward the total syntheses of highly potent cytotoxic alkaloids including the bromopyrrole alkaloids and indole alkaloids were conducted and are described. Studies carried out in the course of this dissertation consist of five total syntheses of natural products that include bromopyrrole alkaloids nagelamide A, D and agelastatin D as...

Extreme Wave Runup and Runup Variability on Beaches

Creator:: Li, Chuan
Abstract:: Wave runup is an important physical process that affects nearshore sediment transport, coastal erosion, and flooding. Large and unexpected runup events can also be dangerous to beach goers. Extreme runup statistics are essential parameters used in engineering design of marine structures and in coastal management. Although the study of runup...

Laser patterned porous-media microfluidic analytical devices : fabrication methods and applications in bioassays

Creator:: Sumantakul, Saichon
Abstract:: The concept of reducing laboratory operations into microfluidic devices has been an attractive area of research for several decades. Due to several advantages of porous-media microfluidic devices including low mass, portability, power-free fluid transport, and the ability to store dried reagents in the porous structures, these devices show great promise...

Host-pathogen Interactions of Respiratory RNA Viruses and the Application of Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Viral Diagnostics

Creator:: Prescott, Meagan A.
Abstract:: Humans and viral disease are inextricably intertwined. Viral disease plays an immeasurable role in human life, from the disease and economic burden associated with every facet of contending with human viral disease, to managing the consequences of viral disease in organisms important to our food supply, economy, and entertainment. The...
