Life History of the Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) in Oregon

Creator:: Leppin, Mark V.
Abstract:: The Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) is a small, secretive boa native to the Pacific Northwest. Despite this being possibly the highest latitude boas and one of only two boas native to the continental U.S., it has received surprisingly little attention. Most of the research on the natural history of...

Investigation of Eco-friendly, Bio-based Methods to Produce High Quality and Water-resistant Apple Pomace Biocomposites Using Molded Pulp Technology

Creator:: Lang, Clara V.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study was to utilize apple pomace, the byproduct from juice processing, as a renewable source of fiber to create sustainable packaging using molded pulp technology. The goal was accomplished through two studies: 1) to modify apple pomace fibers for increasing relative cellulose composition and improving...

Improved Lubrication Performance of Chainsaw Cutting Systems

Creator:: Sellars, Patrick V.
Abstract:: Chainsaws serve as one of the primary tools used by logging corporations, ranches, and farms for forestry management. Lubricating oil remains one of the heaviest operational expenditures for chainsaws. This largely in part due to chainsaw lubrication being a total loss system in which nearly all lubricating oil applied is...

Effects of Elevated Temperature on Mycobacterium chelonae Growth and Mycobacteriosis in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Lopez, Elizanette V.
Abstract:: Utilization of zebrafish, Danio rerio, has steadily increased and its applications have expanded into numerous fields of science. Applying elevated temperatures (32°C to 37°C) to this organism has allowed researchers to conduct climate change, human cancer and infectious disease studies. Though zebrafish can be acclimated from the standard 28°C to...

Alternative Controls for Stephanitis pyrioides in the Pacific Northwest.

Creator:: Graham, Katerina V.
Abstract:: The azalea lace bug (Stephanitis pyrioides Scott) is a global pest of rhododendrons and azaleas (Rhododendron spp.). It is originally from Asia, has been established in the eastern U.S. for the past century, and was recently detected in the Pacific Northwest in 2008-2009. Stephanitis pyrioides feeds on the underside of...

Characterization of Fungal Endophyte Populations in Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) Needles in The B&B Fire Complex of The Eastern Cascade Mountain Range

Creator:: Scrivani, James V.
Abstract:: Forests are some of the most ecologically diverse and dense habitats on the planet. Research shows that the endophyte community, or the fungi, bacteria, and viruses within a forest ecosystem is highly diverse. Fungal endophytes are defined as fungi that live within the tissues of host plants. Relationships between fungal...

A Demand System Analysis of Marketing Strategies for Apples and Pears in the Conventional Supermarket Environment

Creator:: McFetridge, Marc V.
Abstract:: This research examines how marketing strategies of produce managers affect consumer expenditures for fresh apples and pears. The objective of this study is to determine how display size, point-of-purchase material, product origin, product information and display placement impact consumer expenditures for fresh apples and pears. These variables were incorporated into...

Proteomic Profiles of Circulating Exosomes as Biomarkers for Disease Detection in Canine Osteosarcoma

Creator:: Brady, Jacqueline V.
Abstract:: Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary skeletal tumor in dogs accounting for 85% of bone tumors and nearly 6% of all canine neoplasms. They are highly aggressive tumors that carry a poor prognosis despite intensive treatment, highlighting the need for more effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Recent research in...

The Effects of Road Noise on Pacific Chorus Frog Communication

Creator:: Nelson, Danielle V.
Abstract:: Amphibians are experiencing global population declines and are one of the most threatened groups of vertebrates. This can be attributed to multiple environmental stressors such as habitat loss, disease, invasive species, and climate change. For vocal amphibian species, loss of acoustic habitat due to anthropogenic noise may be yet another...

Palynological Perspectives on Younger Dryas to Early Holocene Human Ecology at Paisley Caves, Oregon

Creator:: Saban, Chantel V.
Abstract:: The Younger Dryas climatic event is a global phenomenon associated with a 1,000 year return to glacial conditions during the late Pleistocene period between 12,800 and 11,500 cal BP. Because of its significant effects on paleoenvironmental conditions in some parts of the world, archaeologists commonly seek to assess whether the...
