  • Identifying site characteristics that explain variation in Douglas-fir site productivity and stem form

    Creator:
    Magalska, Lauren E.
    Abstract:
    Foresters care about site productivity and stem quality in Douglas-fir plantations for many reasons. The profitability of forest land and the economic returns on silvicultural investments are directly related to site productivity. Thus, understanding the relationships among Douglas-fir productivity, stem form and site characteristics is important economically. My objective was...

  • Writing (righting) the silences : "points of perspective" for texts and students

    Creator:
    Payne, Eva M.
    Abstract:
    The classroom practices discussed in this thesis come slowly and at a "slant" to feminism through critical reading of texts, a practice that I call a (re)presentation of the silent women in texts. Given our patriarchal western culture, making meaning, and especially making sense, of the role and representations of...

  • The culture of academia : authorizing students to read and write

    Creator:
    Mitchell, Danielle M.
    Abstract:
    Presenting and synthesizing several paradigms for the teaching of literature in American colleges, I investigate how definitions of reading, readers, texts, interpretations, and knowledge affect student acts of reading and writing. In addition, I draw upon specific examples of text-based, reader-based, and social-cultural based models for the teaching of reading...

  • Time to listen : an annotated bibliography of environmental readings, featuring Oregon writers, for middle school and high school students

    Creator:
    Crateau, Carole Ann
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to guide middle school and high school students into critical thinking about environmental issues. Through keen observation of their bioregion and through an integration of interdisciplinary literature which focuses on Oregon writers, students will be challenged to think, write, and discuss current issues...

  • Orange tortrix : parasitoid complex and thermal constants for egg hatch

    Creator:
    Coop, Leonard Bryan
    Abstract:
    An investigation was conducted in 1980 and 1981 on the larval parasitoid complex of the orange tortrix, Argyrotaenia citrana (Fern.), a major contaminant in cane fruits (Rubus spp.) in the Pacific Northwest. A total of 13 parasitoid species were reared from 1,350 larvae predominantly collected from red raspberries in western...

  • Projecting White Pine Blister Rust Hazard Ratings Under Climate Change in Southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Cicekli, Zeynep
    Abstract:
    Sugar pine and western white pine are widely distributed, economically valuable, and ecologically important native tree species in North America. However, white pine blister rust (WPBR), caused by a non-native fungal pathogen, Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch. in Rabh., has substantially affected populations of these species. Cronartium is an obligate parasite,...

  • Early genetic selection for wood stiffness in juvenile Douglas-fir and western hemlock

    Creator:
    Urhan, Oguz S.
    Abstract:
    Wood modulus of elasticity (MOE), also known as wood stiffness, is one of the most important wood properties. Wood stiffness is a measure of the resistance to deflection, and is important because some products such as laminated veneer lumber, plywood, and dimension lumber require stiff and strong wood. Incorporating wood...

  • Stiffness of Douglas-fir lumber : effects of wood properties and genetics

    Creator:
    Vikram, Vikas
    Abstract:
    Wood stiffness is one of the most important properties of lumber and veneer. We studied wood stiffness (modulus of elasticity, MOE), wood density, microfibril angle, and knots in a 25 year-old wind pollinated progeny test (50 families, ~ 373 trees) of coastal Douglas-fir to understand the potential for genetically improving...
