Physiological and biochemical characteristics of two cultivars of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) under different environmental conditions

Creator:: Fino, Antonio Carlos
Abstract:: Two cultivars of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) with contrasting growth habits were studied under field and growth chamber conditions. Fawn, an established cultivar since 1964, and TFM, an experimental line, were observed to grow better during spring and fall months respectively, in the field. Different temperature regimes of 10/4,...

Impact of parameter variability on the food process engineering calculations required for safety, quality and shelf-life estimations

Creator:: Chotyakul, Nattaporn
Abstract:: Quantitative procedures were developed to determine the effect of variability in the model parameters required for the estimation of microbial shelflife and thermal processing time. Monte Carlo simulations combined with these predictive models were implemented in Microsoft Excel™. In the first study, predictive models were used for shelf-life predictions based...

Effect of molecular conformation on the surface properties of polyelectrolyte solutions : xanthan gum model studies

Creator:: Young, San Land
Abstract:: A commercially important polyelectrolyte, xanthan, was chosen for a systematic analysis of the relationship between molecular conformation and surface properties. In the first study the effects of ionic strength, xanthan concentration and temperature on the xanthan molecular conformation were investigated by potentiometric titration. The effects of the same factors and...

Long-term Effects of Vegetation Management on Biomass Stock and Aboveground Net Primary Productivity of Four Coniferous Species in the PNW

Creator:: Flamenco, Herman N., Jr.
Abstract:: Forest vegetation management (FVM) is an important component of reforestation in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of vegetation management on planted conifer growth and survival. However, few reports have been published on the long-term effects of FVM treatments on total ecosystem biomass accumulation and aboveground...

Evaluation of education libraries for teacher education accreditation

Creator:: Knittel, Marjorie C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the literature in education and library science to determine why standards for education libraries have not been realized, in the light of the specific criteria for other areas of teacher education accreditation. Educators and librarians in favor of strict standards for education...

Theoretical perspectives on Latin American indigenous development, with reference to a case study of Cebadas, Ecuador

Creator:: Ocana, Juan Carlos
Abstract:: This thesis presents a discussion of the main materialistic theories proposed to explain the process of development among the indigenous population of Latin America. Four theoretical approaches are presented and discussed. The first one deals with the social group referred to as peasants. The second one explains the process of...

Entre crítica e imaginación: El contexto de las relaciones de México y Estados Unidos desde la perspectiva de La frontera de cristal y Gringo viejo

Creator:: Hansen, Tobin M.
Abstract:: What historical and political reality is reflected in the novels Gringo viejo and La frontera de cristal? What is revealed when the characters, plot, and setting of the novels are analyzed against research of the context of U.S.-Mexico relations? We begin to explore these questions by studying three periods crucial...

Techno-economic analysis of algal lipid fuels

Creator:: Xiang, Xuwen
Abstract:: A techno-economic analysis (TEA) was performed to evaluate the technology, cost, and resource use for algal biofuel production based on today’s economics and technology. The basic goal of this study is to develop a model to calculate the mass and energy balances and costs to produce 10 million gal of...

Monte Carlo derived absorbed fractions in a voxelized model of a rainbow trout

Creator:: Hess, Catherine A.
Abstract:: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...

Leaving the Closet : Coming Experiences of Queer Chicanas and Latinas and Their Representation in Television

Creator:: Crocker, Melissa R.
Abstract:: In the contemporary United States, the process of "coming out of the closet," or public disclosure of one's non-normative sexual orientation or gender identity, is ongoing and performative. Particularly within the context of dominant contemporary U.S. society, popular media favors a hegemonic set of defining characteristics, which thereby forces the...

The economic impacts of sagebrush steppe wildfires on an eastern Oregon ranch

Creator:: Maher, Anna T.
Abstract:: The relative success of restoration practices on cheatgrass infested sagebrush steppe lands in the Great Basin can affect the probability of crossing an ecological threshold and have economic effects on cattle ranches using federal rangelands. Cheatgrass invasion implies an increase in the risk of fire, which in turn increases the...
