Ammonium Metabolism in Grapes [1992-1993]

Creator:: Creasy, Glen L. and Breen, Patrick J.
Abstract:: Oregon grape growers are sometimes troubled with fruit set problems. There are many types of fruit set disorders, but a recently described one is inflorescence necrosis (IN). Though many studies related to the disorder have been done at OSU and elsewhere, investigation into IN is still in its infancy. Several...

Inflorescence Necrosis and Ammonium in Grape

Creator:: Creasy, Glen L., Price, Steve, and Breen, Patrick J.
Abstract:: Poor set and low yields in 1988 and 1990 were, in part, attributed to Inflorescence Necrosis (IN), a disorder that results in death of flowers and rachis tissue near bloom-time. In isolated areas, IN has caused significant loss of crop in each year since then. Past research at OSU has...

A Comparative Analysis of Mercury and Lead in Sindoor from the U.S. and Bangladesh

Creator:: Breen, Anna K.
Abstract:: Heavy metals have historically been popular for use in cosmetics manufacturing due to the colorful pigmentation of heavy metal compounds. In the case of sindoor, a cosmetic used by married Hindu women for religious purposes, mercury sulfide, lead tetroxide, and lead chromate are compounds suspected to still be involved in...

The Effects of Temperature and Working Electrode Material on the Power Output of a Hydroxymethylfurfural Fuel Cell

Creator:: Breen, Joshua P.
Abstract:: The need for clean energy continues to rise as the earth’s non-renewable resources continue to be depleted to satisfy energy demands. One plausible renewable energy source exists in biomass-powered fuel cells.¹ While there are several ways to convert sugars to energy, one interesting approach is to convert the sugars to...

The effects of Phytophthora ramorum infection on hydraulic conductivity and tylosis formation in tanoak sapwood

Creator:: Collins, Bradley R.
Abstract:: Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus), along with some other members of Fagaceae, are susceptible to sudden oak death caused by the oomycete Phytophthora ramorum. Symptoms of the disease include dying crowns, bleeding cankers, and eventually death of infected trees. The cause of mortality is not well understood, but recent research indicates that...

Assessing the impact that professional development training has on the self-efficacy of school counselors, including rural school counselors

Creator:: Millmore, Patrick J.
Abstract:: Boyd and Walter (1975) identified the need to provide supervision for school counselors almost forty years ago. Michelle Obama, the First Lady of the United States (2014), in her address at the American School Counselor Association Conference stated that school counselors needed to be provided with professional development opportunities designed...

Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

Creator:: Goska, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

Probing Circadian Clock-Steroid Receptor Interactions in GnRH Neurons

Creator:: Grimwood, Victoria J.
Abstract:: Endogenous circadian clock regulation is essential to normal rhythmicity, particularly the timing of hormone release in the brain. In the context of mammalian reproduction, a surge of a specific hormone, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), initiates a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which is required for ovulation in...

Susceptibility of riparian soil invertebrates to the herbicide triclopyr

Creator:: Moran, Patrick (Patrick William)
Abstract:: Riparian zones of Pacific Northwest forests have high species diversity and abundance and act as an important interface between the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, riparian zones comprise a significant portion of the total buffer zone established during commercial forest production to protect aquatic ecosystems from adjacent management activities....

Predicting music emotion with social media discourse

Creator:: Beery, Aidan J.
Abstract:: Predicting the average affect of a piece of music is a task which has been of recent interest in the field of music information retrieval. We investigate the use of sentiment analysis on online social media conversations to predict a song’s valence and arousal. Using four music emotion datasets -...

Transcribing Solo Piano Performances from Audio to MIDI Using a Neural Network

Creator:: Ebert, Victoria
Abstract:: Automatic Music Transcription is a growing area of interest in Music Information Retrieval, and recent research has shown promise using onset detection on spectrograms. We propose a deep learning model that takes raw audio as input in order to transcribe a solo piano performance from audio to MIDI without complicated...

Mood-dynamic playlist : interpolating a path of emotions using a KNN algorithm

Creator:: Gaur, Shaurya
Abstract:: Users curate music playlists based on emotion to focus or relax, so streaming services often create playlists of songs to aid this process. Prior research focuses on generating playlists of a single mood or genre, although a few studies work to construct automatic playlists that transition between the genres of...

Stability Analysis of Coupled Discrete Time Systems On an Invariant Cone

Creator:: Fletcher, Sally

Circadian Clock Disruption via Exposure to Extended Light at Night (LAN) Alters Epigenetic Expression of CKI Genes in the Murine Mammary Gland

Creator:: Rogers, Zackry L.
Abstract:: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths among women, with an estimated 12.4% of American women diagnosed with this tumor type. Evidence suggests that exogenous disruptors can exert epigenetic changes leading to aberrant gene expression, shifting the cellular balance toward oncogenesis. While chemical pollutant exposure is well-studied, light...

Characterization of Two Aerobic Bacteria from Canada Goose Microflora by Whole Genome Sequence Analyses

Creator:: Larkin, Abigail M.
Abstract:: The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) monogastric gut is proposed to contain aerobic spore-forming bacteria that produce non-toxin substances that may promote anti-inflammatory immune responses. It is hypothesized that the aerobic bacteria found in samples of Canada goose microflora could have probiotic effects in other avian species or used for commercial...

The analysis of kisspeptin neuronal exosomes and their effects on neuronal plasticity of downstream gonadotropin-releasing hormone expressing neurons

Creator:: Ewton, Jessica
Abstract:: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are able to trigger the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone which control the maturation of oocytes and ovulation which is vital for reproduction. They are the most downstream neurons that project to the median eminence into the pituitary portal where they release GnRH. Modulation...
