The Space Between: How We Understood, Valued, and Governed the Ocean Through the Process of Marine Science and Emerging Technologies

Creator:: Newton, Samantha
Abstract:: Ian Angell, in the New Barbarian Manifesto, said “A ‘brave new world’ is being forced upon unsuspecting societies by advances in information technology.” It would seem then, that technological advances happen automatically and have a life of their own. There is a logic to technological advancements that is outside human...

Nonlinear solvers for a model problem of fluid flow in the subsurface

Creator:: Biederman, Shannon Miriah
Abstract:: Water is one of the most biologically and economically important substances on Earth. A significant portion of Earth's water subsists in the subsurface. Our ability to monitor the flow and transport of water and other fluids through this unseen environment is crucial for a myriad of reasons. One difficulty we...

Efficiency of forest vegetation control with herbicides

Creator:: Fredrickson, Edward A.
Abstract:: Selective suppression of crown and root sprouting of non-coniferous cover are the keys to effective forest vegetation management. This study 1) develops insight into mechanisms of controlling root suckering and top regrowth of bear clover (Chamaebatia foliolosa), and develops a broad data base for controlling broad groups of vegetation chemically....

Video respite for cognitively impaired persons in nursing homes : behavioral changes

Creator:: Hall, Lynn L.
Abstract:: Video Respite (VR) is a series of videotapes designed to capture long-term memory and maintain the attention of patients with Alzheimer's Disease. The purpose of this study was to determine whether VR viewing significantly affects the behavior of cognitively impaired nursing home residents. Specifically, repeated measures ANOVA and paired t-tests...

Summer soil moisture dynamics in a young Douglas-fir plantation as influenced by three herbaceous weed communities

Creator:: Preest, David Stanley
Abstract:: The use of chemicals such as the triazines (especially atrazine) and mixtures of the triazines and 2,4-D or 2,4,5-T has become almost standard practice in some parts of the world for selectively controlling grasses and other herbaceous weeds to conserve moisture for and/or prevent the smothering of newly-planted conifers. In...

Fifth-year growth responses of Douglas-fir to crowding and other competition

Creator:: Cole, Elizabeth C.
Abstract:: This thesis examines the competitive aspects of Douglas-fir trees growing with two commonly associated competitors--red alder and grass--at varying densities. Two Nelder plots in three different environments in the Oregon Coast Range were studied. The sites represented the warm, dry climate of the Willamette Valley; the warm, moist climate of...

The differential response of Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Liquidambar styraciflua, and Acer saccharinum to picloram as measured by CO₂ absorption and evolution

Creator:: Webb, Warren Lewis, 1935-
Abstract:: The tolerance of woody plants to picloram (4amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid) has been shown by field applications to vary from mild to extreme. A laboratory study was done to investigate the basic causes for this range of tolerance known to exist among three woody plant species, Fraxinus pennsylvanics, March, (green ash) resistant,...

The life history of vine maple on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Russel, David Wright
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to examine the life history of vine maple on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This study was conducted as a part of an I. B. P. general study of understory biomass and productivity. The specific objectives were to 1) estimate the contribution of...

Some strategies for controlling the Douglas-fir tussock moth by regulation of budbreak

Creator:: Cobb, Jimmie Osborn
Abstract:: The young larvae of the Douglas-fir tussock moth (Orgyia pseudotsugata (McDunnough) (DFTM) are dependent on the new foliage of its ho'sts (Doug1as-fir, grand fir, white fir) for their food supply. The phenology of the DFTM and its hosts are synchronized, with egg hatch and dispersal occurring one to three weeks...
