This supplement to Waterfront Revitalization For Small Cities, EM 8414, is a companion reference for planners, community officials, and citizens in Oregon waterfront communities. Its three parts are designed to answer the question, "Where do we go for help here in Oregon?" Sources of technical and financial information and assistance...
Photobiological hydrogen production from live cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encapsulated in silica gel was investigated. Hydrogen is a dense energy carrier with potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, provided a renewable and sustainable means of production can be achieved. Under certain conditions, Synechocystis sp. PCC...
Fresh and processed berries are a favorite Northwest food. They contain many
beneficial compounds, including vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. They also are rich in dietary fiber. Berries of commercial importance for Oregon and Washington include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and grapes. Less common berry varieties
are gaining in popularity...
This thesis examines the transient and steady-state temperature performance
of a rotary regenerative heat exchanger. In contrast to previous
studies on this problem, fluid flow in the circumferential direction was
considered. Appropriate modeling was included to measure the effect of
carry-over on the differential equations describing mass and energy
conservation....
Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...
Despite many investigations genotype by environment interaction remains
one of the least understood factors in plant improvement. Understanding genotypic
differences responsible for such interactions could assist in making more informed
breeding decisions. The components of yield being less complex than grain yield
per se may be useful for selection to...
