Mechanical Design for Robot Locomotion

Creator:: Abate, Andrew M.
Abstract:: Robotic limbs have been shown to enable mobility in unstructured, real-world terrain; they allow robots to step around cluttered environments, scramble up hills, carry heavy loads, and even perform acrobatics. However, mechanical limbs cannot operate as a means for such dynamic locomotion if they are simply treated as general articulated...

Phylogeography and Evolution of Effector Genes in Phytophthora Species

Creator:: Shakya, Shankar K.
Abstract:: Plant pathogens in the genus Phytophthora are known to cause disease on field crops, nursery plants, and forest trees. The best known example probably is Phytophthora infestans, which triggered the infamous Irish potato famine. Other important Phytophthora species include: P. ramorum (sudden oak death pathogen), P. sojae (soybean root rot...

From the Oregon Wolfe Barley to fall-sown food barley : markers, maps, marker-assisted selection and quantitative trait loci

Creator:: Chutimanitsakun, Yada
Abstract:: Understanding complex traits is a fundamental challenge in plant genetics and a prerequisite for molecular breeding. Tools for trait dissection are markers, maps, and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is an application that integrates these tools. In this thesis research, a new sequence-based marker was evaluated, maps...

Identification of quantitative trait loci underlying kernel extra-softness and related traits by linkage and association mapping in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Creator:: Wang, Guomei
Abstract:: Kernel hardness (KHA) is a major factor determining break flour yield (BFY) and end-use quality of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Within the soft wheat class, genotypes with consistently softer grains than common soft wheat are considered to be 'extra-soft'. In addition, 'extra-soft' wheats have greater BFY than common soft...

An investigation into modeling snow cover elements at Crater Lake National Park and surrounding environs as an improved "ground truth" method for satellite snow observations

Creator:: Hamilton, William L.
Abstract:: Streamflow forecasts are essential to the optimal operation of hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs in the Pacific Northwest. Satellite snow cover observations would aid in these streamflow forecasts by providing snow cover data at regular time intervals. Unfortunately, satellite capability to remotely sense mountain snow cover conditions is indeterminate due to...

A study to determine the effects of a college human sexuality course upon student sex knowledge and attitudes toward selected sexual topics

Creator:: Vennewitz, Peter Jan
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of a college human sexuality course upon sex knowledge, attitudes toward sexual behaviors of non-significant others, and attitudes toward the sexual behaviors of self and spouse. In addition, the study sought to investigate the relationship between knowledge gain and attitude...

Physiological, Chemical and Genetic Studies in Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba)

Creator:: Zhang, Jun
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is an oilseed crop with unique chemical characteristics. The ability to identify physiological maturity (PM) and harvest maturity HM of the crop would permit timely harvest of high quality seeds. However, changes of oil contents, fatty acid profile and glucosinolate contents, as well as seed quality during...

Impact of raspberry bushy dwarf virus, raspberry leaf mottle virus, and raspberry latent virus on plant growth and fruit crumbliness in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) 'Meeker'

Creator:: Quito-Avila, Diego F.
Abstract:: The United States is the third-largest producer of raspberries in the world. Washington State leads the nation in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) production. 'Meeker', the most grown red raspberry cultivar in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, Canada) is highly susceptible to Raspberry crumbly fruit, a virusinduced...

Interpreting Climate of the Past from High-Resolution Ice Core Records of Methane

Creator:: Lee, James E.
Abstract:: Methane is a product of biogeochemical processes which respond to changes in climate. The history of atmospheric methane is recorded by ice cores providing insight into past changes in these biogeochemical processes. This dissertation is comprised of three studies which focus on centennial- and millenial-scale variability of methane from ice...
