Ultrastructure of dormant and germinating conidia of Aspergillus nidulans

Creator:: Florance, E. R.
Abstract:: The cell wall of dry, dormant conidia of Aspergillus nidulans is three-layered. The wall of hydrated conidia is five-layered and the germ tube wall is continuous with the innermost layer. The outermost layer consists of rodlets measuring 10 nm in diameter. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum increase in number and amount,...

Linking dynamics of the near-surface flow to deeper boundary layer forcing in the nocturnal boundary layer

Creator:: Smoot, Alexander R.
Abstract:: Weak-wind flow in the nocturnal boundary is one of the most poorly understood problems in the field of meteorology. The understanding of weak-wind flows is essential for the improvement of regulatory dispersion models which are currently rendered invalid under weak-wind conditions and stable stratification. Recently there have been increased efforts...

Patterns of crown damage within a large wildfire in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion

Creator:: Thompson, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: The 2002 Biscuit Fire burned through more than 200,000 ha of mixed conifer/ evergreen hardwood forests in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. The remarkable size of the fire and the diversity of conditions through which it burned provided an opportunity to analyze the correlates of burn severity across vegetation types...

Characterizing the Accuracy of Phylogenetic Analyses that Leverage 16S rRNA Sequencing Data

Creator:: Humphreys, Ian R.
Abstract:: Investigations of 16S rRNA gene sequences hallmark modern microbiology. These sequences provide culture-independent insight into the abundance and distribution of microbiota and serve as a principle resource through which microbial community diversity is measured. Consequently, researchers rely on 16S gene sequences to test hypotheses rooted in ecology, evolution, and disease....

Reproductive performance of dwarf breeder pullets fed yellow peas (Pisum sativum L. var. Miranda)

Creator:: Kill, Donald R.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to determine the suitability of a new variety of yellow pea (Pisum sativum L., var. Miranda) as a feed ingredient in broiler breeder diets. Two-hundred twenty-five I S A Vedette dwarf broiler breeder pullets were fed either a corn-soy (CS) or corn-pea (CP) diet from day...

Comparative Metagenomic Investigations Link the Functional Capacity of the Gut Microbiome to Vertebrate Physiology

Creator:: Armour, Courtney R.
Abstract:: Microscopic organisms inhabit virtually every niche on this planet, where they perform functions vital to all life on earth. Accordingly, humans host a complex community of microorganisms (i.e. the gut microbiome) that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and modulate host physiology. Insight into the specific mechanisms through which gut microbes influence...

Electo-optic characterization of ZnS:Tb ACTFEL devices for probing the hot electron distribution

Creator:: Streicher, Keone R.
Abstract:: In this report, the optical characteristics of ZnS:Tb AC driven thin-film electroluminescent devices are evaluated. Luminescence at low and room temperature under a constant phosphor field is recorded in order to probe the hot electron energy distribution. Samples fabricated by atomic layer epitaxy and by sputter deposition are investigated and...

Disjunctions in forward chaining logic programming

Creator:: Corpron, Daniel R.
Abstract:: A forward-chaining logic programming system (FORLOG) has been developed at Oregon State University. This system coupled with an assumption-based truth maintenance system (ATMS), provides an alternative to the logic programming paradigm of backward-chaining with Horn clauses. To compare FORLOG to this paradigm, we define a subset of FORLOG, called mini-FORLOG,...

Bitterness modifying properties of hop polyphenols

Creator:: McLaughlin, Ian R.
Abstract:: This study examined whether polyphenols contribute a harsh bitterness to beer, and how polyphenols may otherwise modify beer bitterness in the presence of iso-a-acids. The experimental portions of this project were divided into effectively two segments. The first section of the study encompassed groundwork polyphenol extraction development, and the examination...

The influence of an elevated incubation temperature on the expression of clubbed down in Coturnix embryos

Creator:: Charbonneau, Jack R.
Abstract:: Hatchability of the fertilized avian egg is impacted by factors which can be categorized as being either genetic or environmental in nature. An elevated incubation temperature, > 100 F reduces development time (time, days to hatch), but increases embryonic mortality and lowers the numbers of fertile eggs that will hatch....

Wild ungulates compound herbicide-mediated simplification of early-successional plant communities in forest plantations - Dataset

Creator:: Stokely, Thomas D.
Abstract:: This dataset consists of vascular plant species cover estimates collected from 12, 1x1-m quadrats, nested within 15x15-m plots that excluded and were open to wild ungulate access. The wild ungulate exclusion experiment was conducted in young forest plantations (<6 years old), each randomly assigned to one of 3 silvicultural herbicide...

Physiology of senescence of the shoot apex in Pisum sativum L.

Creator:: Ecklund, Paul Richard, 1941-
Abstract:: Shoot apex senescence is defined as the collective progressive and deteriorative processes which ultimately terminate the functional life of the shoot apex. Senescence of shoot apices of Pisum sativum L. 'Alaska' as measured by cessation of stem elongation was delayed by removal of flowers and by treatment with gibberellin A₃...

The design of ultrasonic waveguide system for time delay applications

Creator:: Davis, Thomas James
Abstract:: A waveform-preserving, variable time-delay system capable of several milliseconds delay is described in this thesis. These considerably long delays are achieved by judicious use of the relatively low sonic velocity of gases. Initial system design criteria specified a time delay of ten milliseconds and a signal bandwidth of 0-10 KC....
