A thick sequence of intercalated andesite and basalt flows, tuffs, and volcanic sediments crop out in the Fly Creek Quadrangle and the north half of the Round Butte Dam Quadrangle. This sequence was deposited in the ancestral Deschutes River Valley along the east flank of the Cascade Range during the...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Samuel Loyd Hewitt for the
Soil acidity is a major factor inhibiting pasture production in western Oregon. The typical management solution to acidic soil problems is to lime. However, lime cannot be incorporated directly into the soil in established pasture. The only alternative is topdress or surface apply lime and wait for soil fauna to...
Bacteriophage S-CRM01 has been isolated from a freshwater strain of Synechococcus and shown to
be present in the upper Klamath River valley in northern California and Oregon. The genome of this
lytic T4-like phage has a 178,563 bp circular genetic map with 297 predicted protein-coding genes
and 33 tRNA genes...

Thiamin diphosphate (ThDP), also known as vitamin B1, serves as an enzymatic cofactor in glucose metabolism, the Krebs cycle, and branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis in all living organisms. Unlike plants and microorganisms, humans are not able to synthesize ThDP de novo and must obtain it from their diet. Staple crops...

Cells in three-dimensional (3D) environments exhibit very different biochemical and biophysical phenotypes compared to the behavior of cells in two-dimensional (2D) environments. As an important biomechanical measurement, 2D traction force microscopy can not be directly extended into 3D cases. In order to quantitatively characterize the contraction field, we have developed...

As a demonstrator for technologies for the next generation of ocean color sensors,
the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) provides enhanced spatial and
spectral resolution that is required to understand optically complex aquatic environments. In
this study we apply HICO, along with satellite remote sensing and in situ...

The aromatic carbon structure is a defining property of chars and is often expressed with the help of two
concepts: (i) aromaticity and (ii) degree of aromatic condensation. The varying extent of these two features
is assumed to largely determine the relatively high persistence of charred material in the environment...
