Variation in communities of ammonia-oxidizing and denitrifying bacteria in Fennoscandian boreal forest soils

Creator:: Ghimire, Rama D.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to examine the variation among ammonia-oxidizing and denitrifying communities in soils of a natural Fennoscandian boreal forest and of a forest with a long history of fertilization with different levels of nitrogen (N), and to examine whether there are any changes in the microbial...

Functions and regulation of cytokinin glucosyltransferases

Creator:: Pineda Rodó, Albert
Abstract:: Cytokinins can be conjugated to N- and O-glucosides. While N-glucosylation generally leads to irretrievable loss of activity, O-glucosides are thought to play an important role in cytokinin storage and homeostasis since they can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding aglycones. The first zeatin O-glycosyltransferase genes isolated were ZOG1 and ZOX1 from...

Identifying candidate genes associated with cold adaptation in Douglas-fir using DNA microarrays

Creator:: Howe, Dana Kathryn
Abstract:: In forest trees from temperate and boreal regions, cold acclimation is an important adaptive trait that involves changes in gene expression and physiology. Genecological, quantitative genetic, and QTL studies have been used to study the genetics of cold acclimation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), but the genes responsible for...

Riparian litter inputs to streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Hart, Stephanie K.
Abstract:: Riparian zone vegetation can influence terrestrial and aquatic food webs through variations in the amounts, timing, and nutritional content of leaf and other litter inputs. Differences in vegetation composition and density, as well as riparian topography, may modulate the strength and quality of these inputs. Changes in inputs to small...

Method development for extraction and purification of dermal RNA from FVB/Nmice treated with environmental PAH mixtures

Creator:: Larkin, Andrew, Siddens, Lisbeth, and Krueger, Sharon
Abstract:: Epidermal RNA samples from FVB/N mice treated with PAH standards and environmental PAH mixtures were harvested and purified using Trizol extraction and RNeasy mini prep kit purification. Epidermal RNA integrity was low (RIN mean 3.5), indicating significant RNA degradation and the need to modify handling, collection, and processing of skin...

Impacts of Climate Change on Fuel Management Decisions and Implications for Fire Risk

Creator:: Kato, Nozomi
Abstract:: Private forest owners face an increasing risk of economic damage from extreme wildfires as the climate becomes warmer and drier. This thesis empirically estimates the influence of climate on private forest owners’ management decisions using plot-level data in the Pacific states of the U.S. Econometric models are specified where the...

Oregon State University Student Electoral Participation, 2006-2010

Creator:: Bene, Heather T.
Abstract:: This study examines student voting at Oregon State University (OSU) – Oregon’s public, land-grant university – in state elections from 2006-2010. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), Oregon Senate Bill 951 (2007), and Oregon House Bill 2880 (2011) seek to increase university student voting. In particular, SB 951...

Generalized radix design techniques for low-power, low voltage pipelined and cyclic analog-digital converters

Creator:: Sharma, Vivek
Abstract:: This thesis proposes a novel technique for the design of pipelined and cyclic ADCs utilizing generalized radix gain stages. Several models have been proposed for the optimization of high performance pipelined ADCs by various researchers. This work builds upon them, using a simple but accurate model to estimate the optimal...

A Multi-Tiered Approach Using Daphnia magna to Assess Chlorpyrifos Risk to Aquatic Receptors

Creator:: Maggio, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a widely used broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide. Following exposures, CPF and its more toxic oxon metabolite (CPFO) elicit neurotoxic effects by inhibiting the activity of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE), resulting in altered fitness and death at high doses. Following exposure, organisms bioactivate CPF to CPFO through the Cytochrome...

On the Topologies of Moduli Spaces of Polygons: A Taxonomic Approach

Creator:: Krughoff, Stephen A.
Abstract:: Consider a polygon lying in the Euclidean plane with labeled edge lengths. The moduli space of polygons is the space of all polygons with the same labeled edge lengths, modulo orientation preserving isometries. It is well known that this space is generically a smooth manifold. For certain combinations of edge...
