  • The SELCTV database : the susceptibility of arthropod natural enemies to agricultural pests to pesticides

    Creator:
    Theiling, Karen M.
    Abstract:
    Documentation of the side effects of pesticides on arthropod natural enemies has expanded rapidly since the 1950's as part of an increase in non-target side effects literature. Most reviews have been based on empirical analysis of selected literature. The SELCTV database was developed to make a larger information base accessible...

  • Large-Area Nanoplasmonic Structures for Enhanced Fluorescence-Based Biosensing

    Creator:
    Wang, Yi-Chieh
    Abstract:
    An innovative silver nano-dimple arrays (Ag DAs)-integrated microfluidic device was developed to achieve highly sensitive fluorescence-based nucleic acid detection. The Ag DAs were utilized to produce surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for strong fluorescence enhancement. We systematically investigated the plasmon-enhanced fluorescence by controlling the nanostructure dimension of the Ag DA substrate....

  • Soil physical properties and available water capacity of southwest Oregon forest soils

    Creator:
    Flint, Alan L.
    Abstract:
    Measurements for water retention calculations and physical characterization were made on skeletal and non-skeletal soils in southwest Oregon. A new bulk density sampler was designed for the physical characterization of the steep, skeletal soils commonly encountered in this area. The new sampler and the techniques required for the measurement and...

  • The influence of grazing systems on the performance and diet of yearling cattle

    Creator:
    Berry, Timothy James
    Abstract:
    Research was conducted at the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range in northeastern Oregon to determine cattle performance, diet quality, botanical composition of forage ingested, and production and utilization among rest-rotation, season-long, and deferred rotation grazing systems. The grazing season lasted from June 20 to October 10 of each year. Cows...

  • Behavioral responses of Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance

    Creator:
    Naylor, Leslie M.
    Abstract:
    I measured responses of free-ranging Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, Oregon from April to October, 2003 and 2004. Resting, feeding, and travel activities of 13 cow elk were recorded at 5-minute intervals using Actiwatch™ motion sensors. Elk were subjected to four...

  • Mid-Nineteenth Century Clay Smoking Pipes from Fort Hoskins (35BE15) and Fort Yamhill (35PO75), Oregon

    Creator:
    Zentgraf, Diane M.
    Abstract:
    Over the past 42 years clay smoking pipes have been excavated from two U.S. army posts, Fort Hoskins (35BE15) and Fort Yamhill (35PO75) and curated at Oregon State University. These two forts were established in Western Oregon in 1856 and by 1866 both had been decommissioned. Numerous theses have focused...
