Estimating the Influence of the Urban Heat Island Effect on Housing Prices

Creator:: Hossain, Lima
Abstract:: Using summertime housing transactions data of 3,309 parcels from multiple years in Eugene-Springfield, OR, we present a hedonic price model to estimate the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on housing prices in this metropolitan area. By taking advantage of the inherent random nature of summertime weather observations,...

Evaluating Field Production Issues by Investigating Grain Dormancy and Plant Segregation Patterns in Soft White Winter Wheat

Creator:: McCarthy, Christy A.
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a highly valuable crop that makes up a large portion of the world’s food. However, breeding for improved varieties with desirable characteristics can be a challenge.

Dilute Permanganate Preferentially Oxidizes Polyphenols Rather than Microbial Food: A Reinterpretation of a Common “Active Carbon” Measurement

Creator:: Christy, Isabel
Abstract:: “Active carbon” is a rapidly cycling soil organic carbon (SOC) fraction that acts as an energy and nutrient source for the microbial community. Dilute permanganate oxidation has been used to measure an “active carbon” fraction with the assumption that permanganate oxidation mimics enzymatic decomposition. Permanganate oxidizable carbon (PoxC) has become...

An informed and ignorant readership : the contradictions of creative nonfiction

Creator:: Rush, Lani
Abstract:: Creative nonfiction is a genre replete with contradictions--the name itself shows that: nonfiction writing is true and factual, but creative writing is imaginative and inventive.

Evaporative heat loss of the upper Middle Fork of the John Day River, northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Benner, David A.
Abstract:: Evaporation was studied along the Middle Fork of the John Day River in northeastern Oregon. Evaporation pans and various meteorological sensors recorded data at nine sites during the summer of 1998; measurements were made at each site over a 3-4 day period. A Dalton-type evaporation model was produced using water...

The economics of western juniper management on ranches located in the John Day Ecological Province of north-central Oregon

Creator:: Aldrich, Gwendolyn A.
Abstract:: Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) is a species of juniper native to arid regions of the Pacific Northwest. The western juniper tree has a number of competitive strategies that, in conjunction with an almost complete removal of fire from the ecosystem, have resulted in a significant expansion of its population...

Development of mucosal vaccines for avian influenza A virus composed of recombinant Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii

Creator:: Reese, Kaleb A.
Abstract:: Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...

John Turberville Needham (1713-1781) and eighteenth century theories of generation

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: There were two viable theories of generation, preformation and epigenesis, existing in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Due to their irreconcilable nature, they were often at loggerheads during this time interval. The status of these generation theories can be effectively understood in terms of Thomas Kuhn's conception of preparadigm science....
