Activated carbon incorporated into herbicide protection pods as a seed amendment technology for revegetation

Creator:: Clenet, Danielle R.
Abstract:: Reestablishing native perennial vegetation in annual grass-invaded rangelands is critical to restoring ecosystems, especially following wildfires. Controlling invasive annual grasses is essential to increasing revegetation success; however, pre-emergent herbicides used to control annual grasses prohibit immediate seeding due to non-target herbicide damage. Thus, seeding is often delayed one year following...

The Influence of Hip Abduction, Extension, and External Rotation Rate of Torque Development on Frontal-Plane Biomechanics during Single-Leg Jump-Cuts

Creator:: Cronin, Baker
Abstract:: Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are relatively common in female athletes with greater frontal plane knee motion and loading during a landing task predictive of injury. As a result, decreasing knee abduction motion and loading is important for ACL injury prevention. While increased strength of the hip abductors, extensors, and external...

Evaluation of low quality roughages and agricultural by-products as livestock feed

Creator:: Hussain, Imdad
Abstract:: Nine feeding trials and four laboratory scale experiments were conducted in this study. The study consisted of: (1) use of grass straw:corn juice (CJ) silages with fishmeal and/or alfalfa hay supplementation in beef heifers, sheep, pregnant dairy heifers, water buffaloes and Hereford cows; (2) use of cull onions:grass straw silages...

Historical land use and its impact on Oak Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Yamaguchi, Keiko, 1964-
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were:1) to review the land use history of Oak Creek watershed since European settlement. And 2) to consider the human-caused impacts and their effects associated with different land uses. The study area was classified into three land use patterns: residential,agricultural, and forested areas.Since the European...

Conditioning bunchgrass on elk winter range

Creator:: Westenskow, Kathy Jo
Abstract:: Research was conducted near the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range in northeastern Oregon. Effects of defoliating bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum (Pursh) Scribn. and Smith) to increase the quality of regrowth available on elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) winter range were studied from 1988 through 1990. Clipping treatments were implemented to condition...

Pyrenophora tritici-repentis : investigation of factors that contribute to pathogenicity

Creator:: Holman, Thomas W.
Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the necrotrophic fungus responsible for tan spot of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Ptr causes disease on susceptible wheat cultivars through the production and secretion of host-selective toxins (HSTs). HSTs are compounds that are only known to be produced by fungi and considered to be primary determinants of...

Inelastic stiffness moduli for nail joints between wood studs and plywood sheathing

Creator:: Loferski, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Defining the inelastic behavior of nail joints is essential in the development of a rational design procedure of wood-stud walls. Prediction equations were developed for the inelastic behavior of joints commonly found in wood-stud walls. The equations relate three elastic moduli that define the average inelastic joint stiffness to the...

The Influence of Quadriceps Rate of Torque Development and Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition on Knee Landing Mechanics during Different Landing Tasks in ACL Reconstructed Females

Creator:: Huang, Yu-Lun
Abstract:: Lesser quadriceps explosive strength following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) may result in the use of altered landing mechanics that increase the risk for a second ACL injury. Reduced capacity to produce explosive strength in the quadriceps is potentially driven, at least in part, by quadriceps arthrogenic muscle inhibition...

Evaluating the Usefulness of a Functional Test Battery for Determining Return to Full Activity in Females with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Creator:: Chang, Eun Wook
Abstract:: A functional test battery (FTB), which combines the use of subjective and objective functional measures, has been proposed as a potential means to distinguish anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACLR) patients' that can more safely participate in activity from those at greater risk. However, no previous study has directly assessed whether...

Perceptions of "Dropouts" Recovered as Adults : A Life Course Case Study on Older High School Graduates

Creator:: Bogen, Susan Lori
Abstract:: Research has established that poor outcomes are the future for those without a high school diploma--yet students continue to drop out and become members of that population. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the experiences and perceptions of individuals who did not complete high school within the...

Enhancement of cold tolerance in tomato plants by genetic engineering of glycinebetaine biosynthesis

Creator:: Park, Eung-Jun
Abstract:: Tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.] plants are chilling sensitive and do not naturally accumulate glycinebetaine (GB), a metabolite that functions as a stress protectant in plants. While GB can increase tolerance of tomato plants to salt and drought stresses, its effect on chilling tolerance has not been examined. To evaluate whether...

Smallholder farmers’ decision making in farm tree growing in the highlands of Ethiopia

Creator:: Ayele, Zeleke Ewnetu
Abstract:: Past afforestation programs launched to promote private and community woodlots in rural Ethiopia have not been based on clear understanding of the incentives and constraints of smallholder farmers. This study investigated the characteristic differences between tree-growing and non-tree-growing farm households and identified factors influencing farmers’ tree-growing decisions from a farming...
