Kinship, Environment and the Forest Service : Homesteading in Oregon's Coast Range

Creator:: Prior, Jan M.
Abstract:: The settlement history of a remote area in the Coast Range of Oregon, from the 1870s to the 1930s, is examined through factors that may have influenced the success or failure, and length of residence of the homesteaders and later residents. Despite the rugged and isolated location, a small community...

Citizen perspectives on hazardous fuel reduction in the Blue Mountains : findings and implications from panel research

Creator:: Toman, Eric Lee
Abstract:: Forests in the Blue Mountains region of eastern Oregon and Washington are facing a large-scale forest health crisis. Poor forest conditions have greatly increased the risk of catastrophic wildfire. Resource managers in the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla, and Malheur National Forests are utilizing prescribed fire and mechanized thinning treatments to reduce hazardous...

Correlation of endophyte toxins (ergovaline and lolitrem B) with clinical disease : fescue foot and perennial ryegrass staggers

Creator:: Tor-Agbidye, John
Abstract:: Endophytic fungi (A. coenophialum and A. lolii) which infect grasses produce ergot alkaloids that serve as the grasses' chemical defenses and enhance the vigor of the grass. Turf-type tall fescue with high endophyte levels has been deliberately developed to produce a greener, more vigorous, pest-resistant turf. Consumption of endophyte-infected grass...

Heparin-regulated release of growth factors in vitro and angiogenic response in vivo to implanted hyaluronan hydrogels containing VEGF and bFGF

Creator:: Pike, Daniel B.
Abstract:: Biocompatible hydrogels composed of covalently crosslinked, chemically modified hyaluronan (HA), gelatin (Gtn), and heparin (Hp) were synthesized for controlled release of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). We hypothesized that inclusion of small quantities of heparin in these gels would result in regulated growth...

Transmission efficiency and life table parameters of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) exposed to tomato spotted wilt virus-impatiens serotype

Creator:: Sether, Diane M.
Abstract:: Peppermint, Mentha piperita 'Black Mitcham' was established as a host for tomato spotted wilt virus-impatiens serotype (TSWV-I). TSWV-I infection of peppermint, initially observed in a research greenhouse (Corvallis, OR), included stunting and downward curling of leaves accompanied by bronzing, and occasionally tip necrosis. Young leaves appeared either symptomless, deformed, or...

Characterization of Low Temperature Crystallization Growth Parameters of the Growth-dominated Phase Change Materials: Ge1Sb6Te1 and Ga15Sb85 by Optical Microscopy

Creator:: Winseck, Mark M.
Abstract:: Phase change memory materials are a set of chalcogenide or pnictogenide materials systems currently being researched for use in optical and resistive based memory systems due to their large change in optoelectronic properties between the amorphous and the crystalline states. For these materials systems to be considered as a suitable...

The Role of Plant-soil Feedback in the Invasion of Brachypodium sylvaticum in Douglas-fir Forests

Creator:: Esterson, Andrew
Abstract:: Invasive plants have the capacity to transform landscapes and alter ecosystem function, causing significant economic and ecological damage. These effects include displacement and reduction of native flora and fauna, altered fire regimes, modification of biotic and abiotic soil properties, as well as local, regional, and global economic impacts. With such...

Multi-hazard Damage and Loss Assessment of Bridge Networks

Creator:: Burns, Patrick O.
Abstract:: The overarching objective of this study is to examine and compare the vulnerabilities of bridges combining effects of earthquake-induced ground shaking, ground failure (e.g., landslides and lateral spreading), and tsunami inundation. A parametric study is performed to understand the sensitivity of economic loss and traffic capacity with respect to the...
