  • Effects of petroleum mulch on soil water content and soil temperature

    Creator:
    Kowsar, Ahang
    Abstract:
    Petroleum mulch applied on the soil surface over a row of planted seeds promotes a more rapid and a more uniform germination of seeds, enhances elongation of seedlings and in some cases increases the yield of the crop. The beneficial effects of petroleum mulch have usually been attributed to increased...

  • Predicting Properties of Bio-jet Fuels using Machine Learning and ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Mayer, Morgan A.
    Abstract:
    High-potential molecules derived from biomass sources may suitably replace or supplement traditional nonrenewable hydrocarbon fuels to reduce pollution and fuel processing costs. Due to expensive and time-consuming property testing, models that predict key properties from optical data would initially vet potential additives before investment and bench-scale testing. Attenuated Total Reflection...

  • The effects of defoliation on Bromus tectorum seed production and growth

    Creator:
    Mayer, Kara Hempy
    Abstract:
    Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is a widespread exotic weed in the Intermountain sagebrush steppe. An annual grass, it is highly prolific and very competitive with native perennial grass seedlings. A clipping experiment carried out at two cheatgrass-dominated sites (Lincoln Bench and Succor Creek) in eastern Oregon analyzed effects of defoliation...

  • Spawning chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) two years in a row : reconditioning for repeated gamete collection

    Creator:
    Mayer, Kent Corey
    Abstract:
    Spring chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, in the Snake River Basin are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The typical life history of spring chinook salmon is semelparous. An experiment was performed to see if mature male spring chinook salmon parr could be reconditioned after hand-spawning and spawned in...

  • Taxonomy and reproduction of Microtus canicaudus

    Creator:
    Tyser, Robin W.
    Abstract:
    The taxonomic status of Microtus canicaudus was compared with that of a morphologically similar vole, Microtus montanus. Four means of comparison were utilized: hybridization experiments, comparative karyology, growth distinctions (total length and body weight), and qualitative behavioral observations. The hybridization experiments indicated that, while the incidence of pregnancy of M....

  • Population dynamics of Microtus canicaudus

    Creator:
    Gilston, Richard Robert
    Abstract:
    Four experimental groups were designed to examine the effects of a "greens" dietary supplement (wheat clippings), as well as individual versus group-housing, on the adrenal and reproductive physiology of Microtus canicaudus. Organ culture of adrenal glands, thin-layer chromatography, and fluorescence analysis of steroid-containing medium were used to quantitatively assess adrenal...

  • Exploring Involvement : A Qualitative Study

    Creator:
    Flowers, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Involvement has been defined and researched by many student affairs professionals and theorists over the past 40 plus years. While many studies have researched the relationship between involvement and a student's academic success, little research has been done that explores what involvement means to them, and the motivations and factors...

  • Conserved properties in the metagenome of a large bacterioplankton population

    Creator:
    Wilhelm, Larry John
    Abstract:
    Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique is the first cultured representative of the SAR11 clade, a clade that is found throughout the oceans and accounts for approximately 25% of all bacterial cells [1]. It has a streamlined genome that is the smallest of any known free-living organism. In this study the complete genome...
