Non-point agricultural contaminants, such as nitrogen, may lower groundwater quality and thereby impose health and environmental risks. The objective of this study is to evaluate tax policies to control agricultural pollutants in a spatially heterogeneous and dynamic setting. The focus of the study is non-point source nitrate contamination of groundwater...

Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) growth in the Pacific Northwest is affected by climatic, edaphic factors and Swiss needle cast (SNC) disease. We examine Douglas-fir growth responses to temperature, dew point deficit (DPD), soil moisture, and SNC using time series intervention analysis of intra-annual tree-ring width data collected...

Plans for farm buildings should efficiently explaininformation about their construction. User understandingand actual use made of plans has received little study.The format used for plans should enhance their wider useand greater satisfaction by individuals concerned withconstructed buildings.This study addressed two research questions: (1) Isthere a relationship among typical formats used...

Sometime in the early Mississippian, huge blocks
broke off the toe of the advancing Roberts Mountains
thrust and fell into the flysch trough. Within the thesis
area, the largest blocks are the Webb/Woodruff blocks,
which are composed of Devonian Woodruff Formation thrust
over Mississippian Webb Formation. The blocks came to...

The state of the knowledge for fault behavior in the northwest Himalaya and California varies dramatically. In the Pakistan and Kashmir Himalaya, few data constrain the role that individual active faults play in accommodating Indo-Eurasian convergence and the relative earthquake hazard across the region. By contrast, the San Andreas fault...

A combination of batch fermentations and genome scale flux balance analysis were used to identify and quantify the rate limiting reactions in the xylulose transport and utilization pathway. Xylulose phosphorylation by xylulokinase was identified as limiting in wild type Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but transport became limiting when xylulokinase was upregulated. Further...

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...
