    Nelson, Clark A.
    Abstract:
    Sections of the landscape in north central Oregon are dominated by numerous soil mounds surrounded by stone rings. Mounds vary in size and shape depending on slope and mound density.

  • Determination of Total Nucleotides, Nitrogenous Bases and Degradation By-Products with Respect to Various Processing and Preservation Techniques for Alaska Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) and Yellowfin Sole (Limanada aspera)

    Creator:
    Nelson, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of this research was to determine the concentration and composition of nucleotides, as nucleoside monophosphates and nucleobases, in the underutilized reproductive organs (milt and roe) of Alaska pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) and yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera). Changes in concentrations of these nucleotides and nucleotide analogs were observed with...

  • N processing in grass seed crops differing in soil drainage and disturbance in western Oregon, U.S.A.

    Creator:
    Nelson, Machelle A.
    Abstract:
    A better understanding of grass seed crop and soil fertility is necessary to improve fertilizer practices and preserving water quality in Willamette Valley, Oregon, where 55% of land-use is in grass seed production that directly impacts adjacent waterways containing native protected fish species. I determined tillage effects on soil N...

    Approximately half of the 6.4 million pregnancies occurring each year in the United States are unintended (Finer & Henshaw, 2006). Unintended pregnancies, defined as pregnancies not wanted at the time conception occurs, regardless of contraceptive use (Chandra, Martinez, Mosher, Abma, & Jones, 2005) can have serious repercussions on women, children,...

  • Dependency speculation in dynamic simultaneous multi-threading

    Creator:
    Nelson, Jarrod A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to explore dependency speculation in Dynamic Simultaneous Multi-Threading (DSMT). DSMT is a microprocessor architecture which attempts to extract Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) from single-threaded programs at run-time. This is accomplished by running multiple iterations of program loops in parallel. The DSMT architecture was originally...

  • Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

    Creator:
    Embleton, Clark A.
    Abstract:
    Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

  • Three Sites are Better than One : Exploring Multivalency in LC8 Binding Partners

    Creator:
    Clark, Sarah A.
    Abstract:
    Hub proteins bind a large number of partners to facilitate structural changes and downstream protein interactions. LC8, a highly conserved protein homodimer, is a unique hub that regulates the activity of proteins in a wide range of cellular processes by binding to intrinsically disordered regions. With many of these systems,...

  • Implications of cougar prey selection and demography on population dynamics of elk in northeast Oregon

    Creator:
    Clark, Darren A.
    Abstract:
    Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni; hereafter elk) populations in northeast Oregon have declined in the past 10 to 20 years. Concurrent with these declines, cougar (Puma concolor) populations have apparently increased, leading to speculation that predation by cougars may be responsible for declining...

  • Demography and habitat selection of northern spotted owls in post-fire landscapes of southwestern Oregon

    Creator:
    Clark, Darren A.
    Abstract:
    Several large wildfires in southwestern Oregon during the summers of 2001 and 2002 provided the opportunity to investigate the impacts of wildfire on northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina). I used radio-telemetry and demographic surveys to describe demographic performance and habitat selection of spotted owls in the areas burned by...
