Dissolved nitrogen in surface waters and nitrogen mineralization in riparian soils within a multi-land use basin

Creator:: Evans, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The growing population of Oregon’s Willamette River Basin places an increasing demand on the basin’s surface waters. Watershed-scale research addressing spatial trends of dissolved nitrogen (DN) and its relationship with landuse and soil N dynamics, such as N mineralization, is sparse in the Willamette Basin. I measured DN along 124...

Crossing behavior, RAPD analysis and chlorophyll flourescence in relationship to the geographic adaption of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.)

Creator:: García de los Santos, Gabino
Abstract:: Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) is a popular perennial, non-bloating forage legume used for pasture, hay and silage throughout the temperate regions of Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa and North and South America. It is regarded as the most morphologically and biochemically variable species in the genus. Research investigating the...

Water quality of runoff from flood irrigated pasture in the Klamath Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Ciotti, Damion C.
Abstract:: Runoff from agricultural lands into Upper Klamath Basin rivers and lakes can cause water quality problems affecting fish and wildlife. Excessive eutrophication in Upper Klamath Lake is linked to high nutrient input (particularly phosphorus) stemming from both lake sediments and watershed tributaries. On a unit area load basis the Wood...

Quantification of fructose equivalents in straw extracts

Creator:: Kim, Eugene
Abstract:: Cereal and commercial grass-seed straws are abundant plant biomass materials that are currently being considered for application in industrial processes aimed at the production of biofuels, biomaterials, and biochemicals. The carbohydrate fraction of these straws is of particular interest in this context due to its chemical functionality and relative ease...

The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

Creator:: Kadhim, Kyra L.
Abstract:: The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

Factors Influencing Growth and Bioenergetics of Fish in Forested Headwater Streams Downstream of Forest Harvest

Creator:: Jensen, Leslie R.
Abstract:: In this study, we used a combination of conventional statistical analyses and mechanistic bioenergetics models to understand the potential effects of environmental variability on growth of stream-living fishes in four headwater streams subject to upstream forest harvest. We focused on two common fish consumers in headwater streams in the Pacific...

Road networks, timber harvest, and the spread of Phytophthora root rot infestations of Port-Orford-cedar in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Clark, William C.
Abstract:: Phytophthora lateralis is the causal agent of cedar root rot, a fatal forest pathogen whose principal host is Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford-cedar), a predominantly riparian-restricted endemic tree species of ecological, economical, and cultural importance to coastal Oregon and California. Local scale distribution of P. lateralis is thought to be associated with...

Nanomedicine Drug Delivery for the Treatment of Lymphatically Metastasizing Cancers

Creator:: Cote, Brianna M.
Abstract:: Nearly 80% of solid tumors, such as melanoma, metastasize via the lymphatic system. The most common form of melanoma is BRAF-mutant melanoma, and additional mutations, such as a PTEN mutation in the PI3K pathway, is required for metastases to occur. Standard therapy includes treatment with small molecules dabrafenib (DAB) and...

Analysis and applications of layered multiconductor coupled slot and strip-slot structures

Creator:: Luo, Sifen
Abstract:: Layered multiconductor coupled slot and strip-slot structures are characterized by introducing the full-wave modal analysis as well as the quasi-TEM spectral domain technique. In the modal analysis, the electric and magnetic fields are constructed in terms of modal fields in different regions. Application of the boundary conditions at interfaces for...

Fatty acid profiling of soil microbial communities : a comparison of extraction methods and temporal dynamics in plant residue amended soils

Creator:: Fernandes, Marcelo Ferreira
Abstract:: A method based on fatty acid (FA) analysis is used to profile microbial community structure (MCS). Various extraction protocols are available, which alter the types of FAs extracted from soils. The more time consuming but widely used protocol extracts only FAs from phospholipids (PLFA). This technique is desirable because PLFAs...
