Obtaining accurate estimates of animal abundance is made difficult by the fact that most
animal species are detected imperfectly. Early attempts at building likelihood models that
account for unknown detection probability impose a simplifying assumption unrealistic for
many populations, however: no births, deaths, migration or emigration can occur in the...

Chitosan based hemorrhage control dressings provide effective external hemorrhage control while having few side effects. Known residual contaminants present in chitosan formulations include endotoxins and proteins known to stimulate gene expression in the liver. This study investigated gene expression in the liver using rat bio-compatibility models to gain knowledge regarding...

Pactamycin, a complex aminocyclitol compound produced by Streptomyces pactum, has significant antibiotic, antitumor, and antiplasmodial activity. However, this natural product has not been developed for clinical use due to its high cytotoxicity. Modulation of its biological properties by chemical synthesis has been difficult due to its complex chemical structure. Therefore,...

Reflux condensation tests examining steam condensation in a PWR steam
generator (SG) were conducted at the Oregon State University (OSU) Advanced
Plant Experiment (APEX) Test Facility from 2005 through 2007. The
experimental data collected will provide a basis to assess TRACE steam generator
modeling techniques and assist in development of...

The National Forest System (NFS) of the United States plays an important role in the carbon cycle because
these lands make up a large proportion of the forested land in the country and commonly store more wood
per unit area than other forest ownerships. In addition to sustaining natural resources,...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
TED ANDREW
Alcoves in some river systems are cooler than the mainstem of the river and
provide thermal refugia for aquatic species. An energy balance and sensitivity analysis on 3 alcoves in the Willamette River, Oregon indicate that alcove size and alcove flux determine the degree to which meteorological conditions affect the...
