Transcriptional studies in relation to fruit ripening generally aim to identify the transcriptional states associated
with physiological ripening stages and the transcriptional changes between stages within the ripening programme.
In non-climacteric fruits such as grape, all ripening-related genes involved in this programme have not been identified,
mainly due to the...

It is hypothesized that increases in pressure drop due to vapor generation during boiling in microchannels can be reduced by extraction of vapor at its point of inception. Ultimately, this local vapor extraction decreases the pressure drop required to drive the flow through a fractal-like branching, microchannel flow network within...
The rapid development of semiconductor technology and the increasing complexity of VLSI chips have prompted both the industry and the
academic community alike to take an indepth look at the VLSI design
problem. Many design methodologies have been proposed and associated
computer-aided tools developed. This thesis is a study of...
The purpose of this inventory is to detail the state of environmental justice in the Mid- Willamette Valley in an up-to-date, centralized format. The inventory is based on information from various government sources, and a survey to gather first-person perspective to take a pulse of the wellbeing of our community....
This project, to propose an implementation strategy for standard monitoring
protocols, builds on my Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Fellowship to support a
study entitled Evaluating Cumulative Ecosystem Response to Restoration Projects in the
Columbia River Estuary (Diefenderfer et al. 2005). The major objective of the study was
to develop a...

College is a vital time to address both emotional and physical health, especially among at-risk populations such as sexual and gender minority college students. However, it has not always been clear whether health services on college campuses are actually reaching these students. The current study aimed to determine if sexual...
Silicic volcanism in the central Oregon Cascade range has decreased in both the size and frequency of eruptions from its initiation at ~40 Ma to present. The reasons for this reduction in silicic volcanism are poorly constrained. Studies of the petrogenesis of these magmas have the potential for addressing this...

Accelerated weathering (AW) tests have become a requirement for many wood composite products. This project monitored temperature and moisture content of specimens undergoing AW exposure for the following standards: ASTM D3434 (automatic boil test), CSA O112.9 (boil-dry-freeze), and PS2 (Section 7.17, 6-cycle VPS). Each AW procedure was conducted with three...
