Soil organic carbon (SOC, kg C m-2) is an important component in evaluating global C stores. The nitrogen (TN, kg N m"2) cycle is closely linked to C and understanding its role is also important. Contents and distributions of SOC and TN in soil profiles, to 1-meter depth, were estimated...
At a time when the biodiversity on Earth is being rapidly lost, new technologies and methods in genomic analysis are fortunately allowing scientists to catalog and explore the diversity that remains more efficiently and precisely. The studies in this dissertation investigate genomic diversity within the milkweed genus, Asclepias, at multiple...
The focus of this study was to identify persistent
problems in the developmental history of the American
Department of Defense dependents schools in Okinawa, Japan.
The period of time covered was from 1946 through 1978.
The study includes historical descriptions of curriculum
development, obtaining and maintaining school facilities,
and the...
Proceedings of the Eighteenth Biennial Conference of the International Institute of Fisheries Economics and Trade, held July 11-15, 2016 at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Center (AECC), Aberdeen, Scotland, UK.
Solid municipal waste was applied to Sagehill sand at rates of
0, 100, 200, and 400 tons/acre (0, 67, 133, and 267 tons dry matter).
Sewage sludge (2% solids) was applied at 55 gallons per ton of solid
waste. Hyslop winter wheat was planted as a cover crop in October...
Complex organic transformations, such as the addition of pyrrole to ketene using planar chiral organocatalyst (*PPY), the four-component anhydride- Manniach reactions, and the site-selective desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diol, are remarkable synthetic reactions that provide high yield and high selectivity. However, the exact mechanism and origins of stereocontrol for theses synthetic organic...
Castle Rocks is 12 miles east of Mt. Jefferson, in the central
Cascades of Oregon. The area contains volcanic rocks ranging from
mid-Miocene to Holocene in age. These rocks record alternating
periods of tholeiitic and calc-alkaline volcanism.
The oldest rocks in the area range from basaltic andesite lava
flows to...

A first-order approximation is made of the frequency and magnitude of bedload transport downstream of the Pelton-Round Butte Dam Complex, lower Deschutes River, Oregon with implications for salmonid spawning habitat. Field measurements of channel hydraulics, geometry, and particle size were combined with one-dimensional hydraulic and bedload transport models to determine...
