A numerical study of solid fuel combustion in a moving bed

Creator:: Ko, Daekwun
Abstract:: Coal continues to be burned by direct combustion in packed or moving bed in small size domestic furnaces, medium size industrial furnaces, as well as small power stations. Recent stringent restrictions on exhaust emissions call for a better understanding of the process of combustion of coal in beds. The present...

A study of demand and supply relationships in the agricultural labor market

Creator:: Vathana, Chamnong
Abstract:: The objective of the study is to analyze empirically the demand for hired farm labor and the elasticities of substitution of capital for labor in the U.S., the Middle Atlantic region, the Pacific region, and in the states of California and Oregon. The data period 1941-1969 was analyzed for the...

A systems classification of watersheds and streams

Creator:: McCullough, Dale A.
Abstract:: Adequate management and scientific investigation of ecosystems depends on classification of landscape systems based on all significant bio-physical and associated cultural properties. The present classification is a hierarchical systems design that can be modeled in terms of a natural system interacting with its level-specific environment. A watershed system in this...

A taxonomic revision of Astragalus mokiacensis and allied taxa within the Astragalus lentiginosus complex of Section Diphysi

Creator:: Alexander, J. Andrew
Abstract:: North America, with over 400 species of Astragalus (Fabaceae), is one of three major centers of diversity, all of which comprise the majority of the nearly 1750 species of Astragalus worldwide. One of the most diverse species, Astragalus lentiginosus of Section Diphysi, is a polymorphic complex of over 40 varieties,...

An inventory and analysis of Pacific Northwest agricultural land use projections

Creator:: McKinley, Randolph Allen
Abstract:: This paper is a summary of a larger project that consolidated agricultural land use projection information for the Pacific Northwest, as of January 1979. The characteristics of nine major projection studies are identified and used as a basis for comparing the relative merits of each study with regard to: 1)...

Candidate Genes Associated with Blister Rust Resistance in Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) Revealed through de novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Creator:: Bair, Zolton J.
Abstract:: Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is an iconic North American high-elevation tree species currently threatened by climate change, mountain pine beetle, and white pine blister rust (WPBR), a lethal disease caused by the non-native fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola. In collaboration with the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center, germplasm was...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: complete block design and exposed to C. ribicola inoculum (~3000 spores/cm2) for 24 hours in a fog

Cardiorespiratory responses to circuit weight training as measured by a biokinetic swim-bench test and a treadmill run test

Creator:: Chiang, Jasson
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to determine if the cardiorespiratory adaptations to an eight-week circuit weight training program are better measured with a biokinetic swim-bench test versus a standard treadmill test. The working hypothesis of the study was that since standard circuit weight training programs stress the upper body...

Development of a Novel MEMS Thermal Sensor Array for Pebble Bed HTGRs

Creator:: Hertel, Matthew A.
Abstract:: A novel high temperature thermal instrument is proposed, which utilizes a dual-sensing platinum resistor encased in a mono-crystalline alpha-alumina (sapphire) substrate. The instrument is comprised of four platinum trace elements, oriented with 90° rotational symmetry atop a 1120 oriented crystal lattice substrate. All four of these sensors measure temperature directly...

Drivers of Soil Fungal Communities Across Three Tropical Rainforests in Panama

Creator:: Schappe, Tyler
Abstract:: Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and interact with plant communities in mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal ways. Fungal communities are thought to be influenced by both associated tree communities and soil properties. However, the relative importance of the biotic and abiotic drivers of soil fungal community structure and diversity...

Effect of defoliation treatments on forage quality, quantity, and species composition of a Lolium perenne (L.) - Trifolium subterraneum (L.) pasture

Creator:: Motazedian, Iraj
Abstract:: As part of investigations to adapt a suitable grazing system in western Oregon, this research was designed to monitor the effects of defoliation treatments on dry matter production, forage quality, regrowth after defoliation, and species composition of a Lolium perenne Trifolium subterraneum pasture for three consecutive growing seasons from 1980...
