A review of the Lepturinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Pacific Northwest, with special attention to the elderberry longhorn beetle, Desmocerus Dejean

Creator:: Schapker, Philip A.
Abstract:: Here presented is a photographic catalogue, a key, and literature review for the 35 genera and 90 species of lepturine longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) found in the Pacific Northwest. Several nomenclatural changes, recognized by the global taxonomic community, but previously unknown to North American authors, are adopted, and one new...

Simultaneous equation estimation for individual tree growth in young Southern Oregon and Northern California conifer plantations

Creator:: Hamann, Jeff D.
Abstract:: This thesis presents methods for obtaining asymptotically efficient and consistent parameters and variance estimates for simultaneous equations in a forest growth modelling context. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR), Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) and Three- Stage Least Squares (3SLS) are presented for linear models. The variables, model types...

Development of Douglas-fir log quality, product yield, and stand value after repeated thinnings in western Oregon

Creator:: Christensen, Glenn A.
Abstract:: Forest managers are beginning to take an interest in management of young Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in Western Oregon and Washington. Studies have established the relationship between growth and levels-of-growing-stock but few have established a link to wood quality and value. This study used data collected from a long...

Distribution and growth of advance Douglas-fir regeneration in commercially thinned stands in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Beer, Louis W.
Abstract:: This study examined the abundance, size, growth, and age of advance regeneration Douglas-fir, beneath an eighty year-old overstory at a single site on plots subjected to different overstory thinning treatments. Treatments consisted of keeping overstory basal area within upper and lower limits for periods of 12-17 years which, depending upon...

Who We Are and Will Be

Creator:: Jackson, Linda Carol, 1949-
Abstract:: The protagonists in the fiction of Paule Marshall, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison illuminate American cultural perceptions of black women and illustrate how the creators of these characters hope to change those perceptions. I studied Paule Marshall's Daughters, Alice Walker's Meridian and The Color Purple, and Toni Morrison's The Bluest...

Phenotypic evolution as a response to thermal ecology in the ferocious waterbug Abedus herberti (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae)

Creator:: Pelegrin, Arthur Lomis
Abstract:: Over 150 years ago, C. Bergmann observed a within-species pattern of increasing body size as elevation and latitude increased. Bergmann’s data came from numerous endothermic taxa, but the pattern has since been documented among numerous poikilotherms and invertebrates. The ferocious waterbug Abedus herberti Hidalgo (Hemiptera: Belostomatidae) lives in isolated populations...

An evaluation of the use of tarif tables in second growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Marshall, David D.
Abstract:: The Washington State Department of Natural Resources' Comprehensive Tree-Volume Tarif Tables are a set of preconstructed local volume tables. This can increase "on plot" efficiency since only diameters are necessary to obtain volumes after the proper table for the given diameter/height relationship is accessed. The tables are accessed and indexed...

Effects of input and redistribution processes on in-stream wood abundance and arrangement in Lookout Creek, western Cascades Range, Oregon

Creator:: Dreher, David Marshall
Abstract:: This study explored how selected input and redistribution processes affect the amount and arrangement of in-stream wood within the 64 km2 Lookout Creek watershed in the Andrews Forest, western Cascade Range, Oregon. A longitudinal inventory of in-stream wood was conducted over approximately 20 km of stream length in 2nd to...

Holocene sedimentation and potential placer deposits on the continental shelf off the Rogue River, Oregon

Creator:: Chambers, David Marshall
Abstract:: Changes in sea level during the past 20,000 years are recorded in sediments taken from the continental shelf off the Rogue River, Oregon. Sea level has risen approximately 125 m. during the Holocene (Curray, 1965) and the general transgression has been interrupted by several stillstands and minor regressions. Box core...

David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

Creator:: Randlemon, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...
