Some contributions to asymmetric error control codes

Creator:: Elmougy, Samir
Abstract:: In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1 errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the Z-channel can be derived from this...

Statistics in Education: Contributions to Teaching and Data Analysis

Creator:: Totty, Njesa
Abstract:: In this dissertation we present a compilation of the research conducted during the author’s doctoral program. In the first part, we discuss a case study regarding the impact of scholar-ships on student success at Oregon State University (OSU). Specifically, we look at the grad-uation and retention rates and aim to...

Breaking silos : interdisciplinary research in kinesiology

Creator:: Schary, David P.
Abstract:: With the growing popularity of kinesiology at the undergraduate level, one would expect the field to be influential. Kinesiology, however, appears to be in a paradox. The undergraduate popularity is not reflected in the rest of academia, or even the general public, many of whom feel kinesiology is not a...

The effect of 2,4-D on the respiration rate and ethylene production of Bartlett pears and Red Delicious apples

Creator:: Fechtig, Allen David
Abstract:: After nearly 20 years of commercial use in orchards without apparent tree injury in Oregon and Washington, 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] was reported in 1970 to cause injury to apple and pear trees in Washington. In the early 1970's, there was widespread concern among growers, researchers, and processors in the...

An evaluation of soil warming for increased crop production

Creator:: Rykbost, K. A.
Abstract:: In regions where soil temperatures limit plant growth, artificial soil warming may be an economically feasible practice. This hypothesis was evaluated in a soil warming experiment near Corvallis, Oregon. This experiment was prompted by the observation that multiple use of waste heat discharged in the condenser cooling water of thermal...

Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of annual ryegrass lignin and utilization of the products by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa

Creator:: Rockhill, Robert Clayton
Abstract:: Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) a major grass seed crop in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, is presently burned in the fields after harvest, causing considerable air pollution and general wastage of a material which could be used in the manufacture of economically important products. The cellulosic component of straw is relatively...

Characteristics of two noncarotenogenic light sensitive mutants of Scenedesmus obliquus strain D₃

Creator:: Harvey, Geoffrey W.
Abstract:: Two light sensitive mutants of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus strain D₃ have been characterized. The photodynamic nature of their sensitivity has been established, the subchloroplast site of photodamage has been investigated, and their noncarotenogenic character has been verified. The two mutants possess several similarities, although mutant L. S. -41...

Reactions of protein with phenols and quinones evaluation of amino acid modification and protein digestibility

Creator:: Wehr, Herbert Michael
Abstract:: Plant tissues contain a wide variety of phenolic compounds, frequently in high concentration. Both non-covalent association of intact and oxidized phenols and covalent linkage of oxidized phenols to protein occur. Such interactions can have important biochemical and nutritional significance. A model system approach was used to identify and quantitate amino...

The effects of a mutation within vitamin E biosynthesis upon the development and function of the photosynthetic apparatus

Creator:: Sicher, Richard Charles
Abstract:: A new photosystem-II mutant of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus D₃, strain PS-28, has been shown to lack a-tocopherol (vitamin E). The photosynthetic activity of dark grown samples of PS-28 is about 20% of the wild-type control. Culturing the mutant at low light intentisites (10⁴ ergs/sec-cm ²) stimulates photosynthetic activity...
