Growth and Fruit Production of Highbush Blueberry Fertilized with Ammonium Sulfate and Urea Applied by Fertigation or as Granular Fertilizer

Creator:: Vargas, Oscar L. and Bryla, David R.
Abstract:: Fertigation with liquid sources of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including ammonium sulfate and urea, were compared with granular applications of the fertilizers in northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Bluecrop’) during the first 5 years of fruit production (2008–12). The planting was established in Apr. 2006 at a field site located...

Adolescent Mental Health and Well-Being: Examining the Role of U.S. Public Education Policy and School Climate

Creator:: Hommel, Annie
Abstract:: This dissertation seeks to contribute to a growing body of research on student outcomes by way of a public health perspective examining the intersection of education policy and adolescent mental health and well-being. The conceptual approach underpinning this project rests on the key theoretical assumption that education policy, shaped at...

Substrate production of blueberry : evaluation of soilless media and potassium, nitrogen fertility on growth and nutrition

Creator:: Kingston, Patrick H.
Abstract:: As blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) production has increased in recent decades, a new interest has developed in the cultivation of blueberry in soilless substrate containers. Historically, blueberry has been propagated and grown in soilless substrate at nurseries, but nursery production is short in duration and plants are small relative to a...

A role for ceramide accumulation in age-related cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction

Creator:: Monette, Jeffrey S.
Abstract:: Ceramides are a group of lipids in the sphingolipid family that are potent cell signaling molecules. Elevations in ceramide levels above the norm generally lead to apoptosis. Evidence from in vitro studies suggests that accumulation of ceramides within mitochondria leads to dysfunction of the mitochondria. This includes inhibition of the...

The Influence of Microbial Communities on Spatiotemporal Elemental Cycling in Coastal Margins Revealed by Community- and Population-level Genomics and Proteomics

Creator:: Kieft, Brandon P.
Abstract:: Biotic and abiotic processes at continent-ocean interfaces cycle a disproportionate mass of carbon and nutrients relative to their global surface area, and microbial activity is a principal determinant of organic and inorganic matter flux in these transition zones. Most studies using modern high-throughput ‘omics techniques to link microorganisms with costal...

The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

Creator:: Poole, Angela Z.
Abstract:: Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

The Structural Characteristics of Robustness in Large-Scale Complex Engineered Systems

Creator:: Walsh, Hannah S.
Abstract:: Modern engineered systems are increasingly integrated into society, decentralized, and interconnected. However, scale and complexity create unique challenges in system design, such as emergent behavior and unintended consequences. This work investigates the structural characteristics of robustness in complex engineered systems by identifying patterns of under-recognized vulnerabilities at various levels of...

Dynamic modeling and mitigation of cascading failure in power systems

Creator:: Song, Jiajia
Abstract:: Recent blackout events consistently show that a variety of mechanisms are involved in cascading outages. These cascading mechanisms are irregularly modeled and validated within the existing literature and industry practices. Understanding the relative significance of these different mechanisms is important for choosing which one(s) needs to be modeled for specific...

Semi-volatile fluorinated organic compounds in Asian and Pacific Northwestern U.S. air masses

Creator:: Piekarz, Arkadiusz M.
Abstract:: Current studies suggest that perfluorinated organic compounds, such as fluorotelomer alcohols (FtOHs) in the troposphere, may be precursors of perfluorocarboxylic acids and perfluorosulfonates in remote regions. Fluorinated organic compounds were investigated in archived extracts collected from remote locations in Okinawa, Japan (HSO) and Mount Bachelor, Oregon (MBO) during the springs...

Development of artificial diets for delivery of water-soluble nutrients to altricial fish larvae

Creator:: Onal, Umur
Abstract:: In the present study, the potential of low-melting point lipids, namely methyl palmitate (MP) and menhaden stearine (MS), were studied for delivery of water-soluble materials to fish larvae. Addition of the solid emulsifier, sorbitan monopalmitate (SMP) resulted in higher RE compared to the liquid emulsifier sorbitan sesquioleate (SSO). Additions of...
