Onset and breakdown of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis : a survey of the host transcriptomic response and characterization of the sphingosine rheostat during symbiont colonization and hyperthermal stress

Creator:: Kitchen, Sheila Ann
Abstract:: The symbiosis between cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones, and photosynthetic dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium spp. is one of the most productive in the marine environment. This mutualistic endosymbiosis allow reef-building corals to lay down the foundation of coral reef ecosystems, which supports a highly biodiverse community...

The timber harvesting behavior of family forest owners

Creator:: Butler, Brett J.
Abstract:: To increase our understanding of the timber harvesting behavior of family forest owners, I developed theoretical and empirical timber harvesting models for family forest owners in the southeastern United States. An individual-choice model was the basis for the models. Family forest owners were modeled as utility-maximizers who made harvesting decisions...

Whole farm case studies : a how-to guide

Creator:: Murray, Helene
Abstract:: Calls for increased farmer involvement in research and extension programs have been numerous and well supported. One approach to integrate the collective knowledge and experience of agricultural scientists and farmers is through whole farm case studies (WFCS). An interdisciplinary team of 34 research and extension personnel at Oregon and Washington...

Understanding chlamydial biology through genome sequencing and comparative genomics

Creator:: Jeffrey, Brendan
Abstract:: The human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis displays different phenotypes between serovars both in vivo and in vitro. The study of chlamydial biology has been hampered by the lack of a tractable genetic system. Here, chlamydial isolates with known phenotypes as well as strains generated though recombination were fully sequenced to address...

An investigation to determine the existence of sex bias in counselor-trainee responses to a video-based simulation

Creator:: Trotzky, Arthur Seth
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if male and female Counselor-Trainees enrolled in master's degree programs in the State of Oregon would emit significantly different responses to a new and professionally developed video-based client simulation. The sample consisted of ninety-two Counselor-Trainees enrolled during the 1975-76 academic year in...

Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Bionomics of the hop cyst nematode, Heterodera humuli Filipjev, 1934 (Nematoda : Heteroderidae)

Creator:: Sen, Arun Kumar
Abstract:: The hop cyst nematode, Heterodera humuli Filipjev, 1934 was first reported from Europe in 1894, however, very little is known with respect to the biology and economic importance of this pest. Abundant material from Oregon hop yards provided an excellent opportunity to add additional details concerning the bionomics of this...
