Four study sites were selected along an altitudinal gradient on Mt. Ashland in the Siskiyou Mountains of southern Oregon. The altitudinal gradient roughly corresponded to a gradient in temperature and water availability ranging from very hot and dry to cool and moist. Air and soil temperatures were continuously measured on...
The executive program and operating syntax of the forest growth model SUCSIM IV are outlined in Section A. Lists of parameters, state variables and other quantities, and their values (if constant) are given in Section B. The remainder of the bulletin is devoted to the models used. The quantities given...
A steady-state model designed especially for analysis of gas exchange studies of terrestrial net photosynthesis is discussed. The model expresses net photosynthesis as a function of light, temperature, CO₂ concentration, stomatal resistance, and other factors. The parameters of the model are
estimated from data by nonlinear least-squares. The data set...
The purpose of the study was to compare differences among 18 personality
trait scales of the California Personality Inventory (CPI), six American Association of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation (AAHPER) tests of physical fitness, and
Ponderal Index (PI, or body mass) measurements for a population of ethnic Chinese
and aboriginal...
The effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on photosynthesis and
various partial reactions involving the individual photoreactions of
photosynthesis were examined. These reactions included photo-reduction in adapted green algae, Hill reaction, cyclic photophosphorylation,
the 520 nm absorbance change and variable-yield fluorescence.
The reactions were measured in spinach chloroplasts and
isolated chloroplasts...
Rubus seed characteristics; seed coat morphology, anatomy, germination requirements and dormancy were studied in order to define protocols for breaking seed dormancy. Morphological analysis of the seed coat (testa) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) included 56 seed accessions of 10 subgenera preserved in the collections of the US Department of...
Red raspberry, Rubus idaeus L., is a valuable crop for the U.S. Pacific Northwest and clonal propagation is required to produce disease-free plants and for germplasm preservation. One challenge of red raspberry micropropagation is the wide variation in growth response among the cultivars. The studies described in this dissertation were...
Several aspects of the potent inhibition of bovine plasma amine
oxidase (PAO) by hydrazines were investigated by kinetic and preparative
means. The inhibition was classified as pseudo-irreversible
by the method of Ackerman and Potter (Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med.
72, 1 (1949), and was found to exhibit Zone B kinetic...
