Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is a globally distributed pathogen of grasses that is transmitted by aphids. Little research has been done examining the response of aphids to different host grasses in naturally mixed communities. We measured the short-term fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, a widely distributed vector of...
Working Paper Number RSP 0804. This report represents part of a study being conducted by the Rural Studies Program at Oregon State University that will analyze the impacts of reduced Federal land payments to counties on the services provided by county government in Oregon, and on citizens, businesses and institutions...
A novel approach for the colorimetric detection of creatinine in a paper/polycaprolactone hybrid microfluidic device using alkaline3,5-dinitrobenzoate (DNB) is described. The reaction parameters of reagent concentration, alkalinity, and analysis time are optimized for fast reaction times and high color yield. Microfluidic devices incorporating this assay are designed and fabricated to...
In this paper we present a novel fabrication technique that utilizes polycaprolactone (PCL) as bonding media due to its low melting temperature property. PCL is biodegradable polyester with a melting point of 60°C, and a glass transition temperature of -60°C [1-10]. It is employed as a rapid bonding technique in...
Genetic variation in spring cold hardiness of shoots prior to bud break was studied in two Oregon breeding populations of Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, one on the west slope of the Cascade Mountains and the other in the Coast Range. In March and April 1993, and April 1994,...
Chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides is a widely used tool in the field of biochemistry.
Several methods for gene synthesis have been introduced in the growing area of genomics.
In this paper, a novel method of constructing dsDNA is proposed. Short (28-mer) oligo fragments
from a library were assembled through successive...

New graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) containing N,N-n-alkyl substituted pyrrolidinium cation intercalates (Py[subscript n.m], n, m = alkyl chain lengths) are obtained via cationic exchange from stage-1 donor-type GIC [Na(ethylenediamine)₁.₀]C₁₅. Powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses are used to determine the GIC structures and compositions. [Py₄.₈]C₄₇·0.71DMSO and [Py₈.₈]C₄₈ with intercalate monolayers...

Melt inclusions trapped in phenocryst phases are important primarily due to their potential of preserving a significant proportion of the diversity of magma composition prior to modification of the parent magma array during transport through the crust. The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of formational and...
