Expression of secondary metabolites following manipulations of the C:N ratio in spotted knapweed, Centaurea maculosa Lam.

Creator:: Brodhagen, Marion L.
Abstract:: Spotted knapweed, Centaurea maculosa Lam. (Compositae) is an extremely successful introduced weed species in the northwestern United States. Multiple factors may be responsible for its success, including chemical defense. Two different types of putative chemical defense agents are the focus of this thesis. The first is a bitter-tasting sesquiterpene lactone,...

Development of a system to test for the toxicity of solar irradiated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and preliminary data using mammalian cell cultures

Creator:: McNair, Vannin Marie Hutchinson
Abstract:: Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAH) classified as noncarcinogens may be photooxidized to mutagenic or toxic products by near-ultraviolet (NUV) wavelengths of sunlight (290-320 nm). The possibility that this represents a major degredation pathway in the aquatic environment is of increasing concern. Large quantities of PNAH from accidental oil spills, anthropogenic and...

Flood history and sedimentation at the mouth of Redwood Creek, Humboldt County, California

Creator:: Ricks, Cynthia L.
Abstract:: Since the early 1950's, the distribution of sediment at the mouth of Redwood Creek has been altered by the effects of channel aggradation and channelization along the lower reach. Severe flooding in 1953, 1955, and 1964 caused bank erosion, landsliding, and channel geometry changes along Redwood Creek. The increased sediment...

Western larch resistance to Douglas-fir beetle attack

Creator:: Neal, Tiffany A.
Abstract:: Live western larch, Larix occidentalis Nutt., a tree species resistant to the Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, produces the monoterpene 3-carene in higher concentrations compared to Douglas-fir, the preferred host of D. pseudotsugae (Reed et al. 1986). The inhibitory effects on attraction to aggregation pheromones and toxicity of 3-carene to...

Transparent electronics : thin-film transistors and integrated circuits

Creator:: Presley, Rick E.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on two aspects of transparent electronics, SnO₂ transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) and transparent circuits. Both depletion- and enhancement-mode SnO₂ TTFTs are realized. The maximum effective mobility for the depletion- and enhancement-mode devices are 2 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.8 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, respectively. A variety of techniques to decrease the carrier...

Power and Participation in Ocean Governance Processes: A Case of the Proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary

Creator:: Knipp, Abigail
Abstract:: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an area-based tool used to manage and protect areas along the coasts and ocean that face impacts from development and climate change. Local communities both impact and are affected by the creation of MPAs and as such, it is important to include their knowledge and...

Greater sage-grouse movements and habitat use during winter in central Oregon

Creator:: Bruce, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a sagebrush obligate species, has contracted in extent by nearly half its original distribution. This is primarily due to habitat loss and degradation over the past 150 years. During winter, sage-grouse depend completely on sagebrush habitat for food and cover, yet sage-grouse winter ecology has been...

Loving-Kindness Meditation and Prosocial Construct Activation

Creator:: Falkenstein, Angelica R.
Abstract:: Both Buddhist and psychological theory postulate that present actions will influence future perceptions, judgments, and behaviors in a concordant manner. While Buddhists explain these effects in the context of karmic theory, psychologists consider these effects of construct activation and chronic construct accessibility. The present study sought to apply social psychological...
