In the Pacific Northwest, several species of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) are under extreme conservation measures due to low population levels. Although currently at healthy population levels, one species of interest is the black rockfish (S. melanops), which has been shown to utilize estuarine habitat during its early life history stages....
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experience of white principals in understanding their white identity, privilege, and power as they worked to implement socially-just and culturally proficient schools. The findings offer insights into the following questions: 1) How do white school leaders view white identity and...
There is no information available on water management of birdsfoot
trefoil grown for seed. Information is also not available describing how to
minimize seed losses due to shattering in order to obtain consistently high
birdsfoot trefoil seed yields. The objectives of this research are to: (i) quantify
crop water use,...
Ptychoptera townesi (false crane fly, Diptera) occur in high densities in an experimental stream section that has not been allowed to exceed bankfull flow for more than two decades, but are quite rare in areas both upstream and downstream from this section. By contrast, Paraleptophlebia spp. (mayfly, Epherneroptera) are relatively...
In this dissertation, I explored how social relationships influence, and are influenced by, men's experiences of caregiving to their aging parents. Because of sociodemographic trends such as fewer siblings in younger generations and the growth of women seeking professional careers, men are increasingly likely to be called upon to meet...
In rodent models as well as in fish models there are significant
species differences in the susceptibility toward aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁)
carcinogenesis. Mouse is less susceptible toward AFB₁ carcinogenesis
than rat. Researchers have come to the conclusion that the lower
susceptibility of mice is not a result of less effective...
This study was designed to investigate the rate of pH decline, changes in protein solubility and in the water-holding capacity (WHC) of beef muscles subjected to pre-rigor electrical stimulation. Samples for the experiment were obtained from animals slaughtered at the Meat Science Laboratory, Oregon State University. Nine good quality steers...
A method is described for the determination of N-nitrosoproline
(NOPRO) in cured meat products. NOPRO was extracted with ethyl
acetate from a slurry of cured meat and water after the addition of
ammonium sulfamate and acid. This nitrosamino acid was converted
to the methyl ester and after further purification, it...
The cholesterol content (mg/100 g wet tissue) of the
longissimus dorsi muscle and the subcutaneous adipose
tissue of "Country Natural Beef" and regularly produced
beef was determined by a spectrophotometric method.
Proximate analysis (moisture, fat and protein contents) of
both types of beef was also determined.
Country Natural Beef (natural...
