Precommercial thinning (PCT) is an important
timber management practice in the Pacific Northwest.
You should consider it as soon as a young
stand has been established.
The work presented in this dissertation highlights the various techniques available to characterize the increasingly complex surfaces of engineered biomaterials. The methods used range from the simple measurement of a contact angle with a smartphone to a complex synchrotron technique like near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to...
Root rot of raspberry (Rubus idaeus), thought to be primarily caused
by Phytophthora rubi, is an economically important disease in the
western United States. The objectives of this study were to determine
which Phytophthora species are involved in root rot, examine the efficacy
of different isolation methods (cane, root, and...
β-chitin/chitosan extracted from newly utilized jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens were investigated in respect to their physicochemical properties, polymeric structures, deacetylation and depolymerization characteristics, and antioxidant and antibacterial activities. These functional properties were further compared with α-chitin/chitosan prepared from shrimp shells. Due to the low mineral content (< 1%) and...
