The purpose of this study was to develope a plant community classification
within the Siskiyou mountains, a small range within the Klamath
geological province well known for its geologic and floristic diversity.
Forest land managers have expressed the need for identification of
basic Land classes that will aid in the...
Yeast mannoproteins released during the process of aging wine on the yeast lees have been reported to make important contributions to wine quality. However, few mannoproteins have been identified in wine and their lifespan during aging is unknown. As a first step towards better understanding the contributions of yeast mannoproteins...
This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

Automation of computational chemistry, while only an engineering feat, has the potential to accelerating computational research be removing all by the science. The work in this thesis mainly discusses fundamental understanding of complex chemical systems. What is not obvious are the numerous tasks necessary for this fundamental understanding. Under the...
This is an integrated assessment across terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal marine realms. It includes the coast range of Oregon and Washington as well as Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The marine portion only includes the coastline and shallow subtidal; the next iteration will include the offshore component.
The objectives of this guide are to provide information to allow users to be able to identify potential natural vegetation types in wetlands (and transitional riparian areas) and to provide information pertinent to the use and management of these
areas. An attempt has been made to describe the successional status...
