Sweet onions are valued for their unique flavor and praised for their health and dietary character. Onion sweetness is perceived as the degree of pungency decreases. Pungency can be quantitatively determined in onions by measuring enzymatically produced pyruvic acid. The onion industry quantifies a sweet onion as one having a...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is the process by which water is transferred from land to the atmosphere. ET is the second most important component of a hydrologic budget and remains difficult to estimate. The primary objective of this project was to determine the limitations of estimating ET from water table elevation fluctuations...

ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Jacob K. Kollen for the degree of Master of Science in Water Resources
These data were collected using a survey of a sample of farmers in the Willamette Valley. The objective was to estimate a relationship between the decision to irrigate a field (one with an existing irrigation water right), and factors such as land characteristics, climate, current weather, and market prices. The...
Cancer was recognized as a genetic disease at least four decades ago, with the realization that the spontaneous mutation rate must increase early in tumorigenesis, to account for the many mutations in tumor cells as compared with their progenitor normal cells. The genetic basis for cancer was established also from...

The intrusion-related Cerro Negro Norte Fe-oxide (Cu-Au) deposit is hosted in andesites and diorites of the early to middle Cretaceous Coastal Cordilleran arc of northern Chile. Tabular and irregularly shaped magnetite orebodies are localized on splays and fractures of the regional NINE striking Atacama Fault Zone. Production from this district...

The hyporheic zone influences the thermal regime of rivers, buffering temperature by storing and releasing heat over a range of timescales. We examined the relationship between hyporheic exchange and temperature along a 24-km reach of the lower Clackamas River, a large gravel-bed river in northwestern Oregon (median discharge = 75.7...
