Sometimes there are movies that do more than just tell a story; sometimes they make a character come to life in such a way that the audience is profoundly moved. In this thesis I have compared and explored two movies that truly impacted my view on life. Il Postino and...
Traditionally, little attention was paid to the market and how the different levels of the market chain
interact. However, recent price developments and the increase in the retail chains’ market share have
raised awareness on the food supply chain and possible market power situations in Europe. This paper
uses 2004-2009...
A wide range of fisheries are managed using vessel catch limits combined with different kinds of effort restrictions. This management framework is expected to have desirable consequences for the bioeconomic sustainability of fisheries. When appropriately implemented this approach produces outcomes that are similar to those associated with individual fishing quotas....
Management of the Danish protein fisheries in the North Sea has during recent years become increasingly politicised, as various stakeholder groups are seeking influence on the decision-making process. In relation to management of the sand eel and Norway pout fisheries, two different issues are debated. In the sand eel fishery,...
Fisheries management is characterised by multiple objectives. However, seldomly do bioeconomic models incorporate more than one or possibly two key objectives, typically profit and employment, into an analysis. There are both practical and technical reasons for this. This study considers the incorporation of eight key objectives into a bioeconomic analysis...
When attempting to mitigate the environmental impacts of a fishery there are typically multiple criteria
against which the performance of any measures can be assessed. If the gains are non-commercial (i.e.
non-market) in nature, formally determining how well measures perform becomes more difficult. This study applies the analytic hierarchy process...
This research investigated yeast populations and diversity during pre-fermentation cold maceration and alcoholic fermentation of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot noir grapes from a commercial vineyard (Dayton, OR). Fermentations were conducted at the Oregon State University research winery in 100 L tanks while grapes from the same vineyard lot were...

Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot fungi in the Agaricomycetes, which also contains non–lignin-degrading brown rot and ectomycorrhizal species. Comparative analyses of 31 fungal...
