Development, evaluation and application of a mixed-family selective breeding method for the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

Creator:: Matson, Sean Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation develops mixed family selection for Pacific oysters using marker-based pedigree reconstruction. It focuses on improving the efficiency of parentage assignment, determining the optimum life stage to mix oyster families for rearing and selection, comparing mixed-family and separate-family selective breeding in the field, and applying the mixed method to...

Wavelet analysis : linking multi-scalar pattern detection to ecological monitoring

Creator:: Anthony, Jill Ada Marie
Abstract:: Wavelet analysis is an analytical and modeling tool for optimizing sampling efficiency and accuracy, particularly in the context of designing long-term, large-scale monitoring plans. As a pattern analysis method that accommodates and preserves non-stationarity, wavelet analysis provides novel visualization and analytical capabilities for increased insight into interactions between multi-scalar heterogeneous...

Equilibria in the ion exchange systems H⁺¹-CS⁺¹, H⁺²-Sr⁺², H⁺¹-Ce⁺³, Cs⁺¹-Sr⁺², Sr⁺²-Ce⁺³, H⁺¹-Cs⁺¹-Sr⁺², H⁺¹-Cs⁺¹-Ce⁺³ and H⁺¹-Sr⁺²-Ce⁺³

Creator:: Meyer, Walter
Abstract:: A new method for determining ion exchange equilibrium data by liquid scintillation counting of the equilibrated solution phase is described. This method has been applied to determine equilibria between Dowex 50W X8, a commercial strong cation exchange resin, and binary and ternary solution containing the varying combinations of H⁺¹, Cs⁺¹,...

A study of the effects of a pre-retirement workshop on the measured level of self-actualization of university civil service employees

Creator:: Meyer, Sheldon Lee
Abstract:: This study was designed to determine whether University of Oregon civil service classified staff pre-retirees participating in a pre-retirement workshop would demonstrate a significant increase in self-actualization when compared with a similar group of University of Oregon civil service classified staff pre-retirees who did not participate in the above mentioned...

Chlamydiae Enhance Self-Antigen Presentation in a Mechanism that is Dependent on Biosynthesis of Lipooligosaccharide

Creator:: Cram, Erik D.
Abstract:: Chlamydia is a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria that undergo a unique, biphasic developmental cycle. The infectious and metabolically inert Elementary Bodies (EBs) begin the cycle of infection by attaching and invading a host cells. Once inside, the EBs differentiate into the metabolically active, dividing Reticulate Bodies (RBs) within their...

An examination of terminal and instrumental values of selected Oregon State University students

Creator:: Norelius, Caroline F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was twofold; first, to identify the values held by Oregon State University students, and second, to determine if the values of OSU students are different from samples previously surveyed. A further purpose of the study was to develop baseline data on a cross-section of the...

LacEDAemon : a programming environment for the multiparadigm language leda

Creator:: Pandey, Rajeev K.
Abstract:: Multiparadigm programming languages are a recent development in the realm of programming languages. A multiparadigm programming language allows the use of multiple, differing programming paradigms without departing from a single, unified linguistic framework. Multiparadigm programming languages are claimed to have benefits to both pedagogy and complex application creation. The beneficial...

Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

Creator:: Krantz, Jacob
Abstract:: Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

Linear-time Algorithms for RNA Folding: Partition Function, Stochastic Sampling and RNA-RNA Interaction

Creator:: Zhang, He
Abstract:: RNAs play important roles in the central dogma of molecular biology, and are involved in multiple biology processes such as chromatin modification, transcriptional interference and translation initiation. The functions of RNAs, especially non-coding RNAs, are highly related to its secondary structures, therefore computational methods for RNA structure prediction are of...

Sediment transport in a gravel-bottomed stream

Creator:: Milhous, Robert T.
Abstract:: Sediment transport in a gravel-bottomed stream located in the Oregon Coast Range was studied to determine the effects of a single layer of large particles (the armour layer) located at the surface of the bed material. The bed load transport system was studied jointly with suspended sediment transport to understand...
