In the search for better methods of agricultural management,
considerable attention has been turned to the
corporation as a useful form of business organization.
Certain farmers and ranchers can simplify their financial
planning and management by using the corporate form.
This is particularly so in "estate management," the accumulating,
maintaining,...
Data science is a rapidly growing industry permeating throughout every aspect of society. Everything collects data these days, and people use this data to find meaningful patterns leading to benefits ranging from more intuitive marketing to better cancer detection. However, increased data collection also leads to increased complexity, and data...
Solid phases that form under the influence of changing environmental conditions often record such changes in their chemical composition. Quantification of these compositional variations is invaluable in reconstructing paleoenvironmental changes. Laser ablation, employed as a solid sample introduction system, offers fine spatial resolution (50 - 250 [mu]m) for spectroscopic analysis...
Setaria lutescens (yellow foxtail) plants, grown from five seed
sources were compared in California. Seed sources were: Connecticut,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California. Morphological
and physiological differences between biotypes include: plant
size, growth habit, time required to mature and reproductive capa
city. Most significant is the prostrate habit of the...
The waterborne, myxozoan parasite Ceratonova shasta is endemic to the Pacific Northwest and can be lethal to its secondary salmonid host, including the culturally, economically, and recreationally important spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) of the Deschutes River, OR. Previously described genotypes of C. shasta exhibit specificity with their salmonid hosts....
The antibiotics, streptomycin sulfate and oxytetracycline, are used widely for fire blight suppression in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The efficacy of streptomycin, however, is compromised by widespread streptomycin-resistance in E. amylovora populations, and oxytetracycline is only partially effective. Consequently, for several years, the aminoglycoside antibiotic, kasugamycin...
In this thesis, we present semantic equivalence rules for an extension of the choice calculus and sound operations for an implementation of variational lists. The choice calculus is a calculus for describing variation and the formula choice calculus is an extension with formulas. We prove semantic equivalence rules for the...
The overall purpose of this research is to assess the Oregon public's capacity to address water resources disturbances through civil society. According to scientists and resource managers, Oregon's water resources are over taxed and at risk, with future projections placing additional stress from climate change and population growth. Oregon's 2009...
The goal of this analysis is to use the social construction framework to determine 1) whether the Oregon Drug Take Back Program stakeholder group can design a public policy that will ultimately reduce water contamination from the improper disposal of unused pharmaceuticals from the general public, and 2) use the...
The RNA genome of tobacco etch virus (TEV), a plant potyvirus, functions as an mRNA for synthesis of a
346-kilodalton polyprotein that undergoes extensive proteolytic processing. The RNA lacks a normal 5' cap
structure at its terminus, which suggests that the mechanism of translational initiation differs from that of a...
The virus-encoded proteins of tobacco etch virus (TEV), a plant potyvirus, arise by proteolytic processing of
a large polyprotein precursor. The TEV genome codes for two proteinases, a 49-kilodalton proteinase and
helper component proteinase (HC-Pro), which cleave the polyprotein at specific sites. The only known cleavage
event catalyzed by HC-Pro...
Ligand activation of the aryl hydrocarbon (AHR) has profound effects upon the immunological status of the gastrointestinal tract, establishing and maintaining signaling networks, which facilitate host-microbe homeostasis at the mucosal interface. However, the identity of the ligand(s) responsible for such AHR-mediated activation within the gut remains to be firmly established....
