Enhancing the predatory potential of hoverflies on aphids in Oregon broccoli fields with floral resources

Creator:: Ambrosino, Mario D.
Abstract:: Four key aspects of the relationship between predatory hoverflies and the aphid pest Brevicoryne brassicae L. on broccoli were investigated in the Willamette Valley, Oregon USA: 1) the relationship between aphid density and hoverfly oviposition, 2) the larval voracity of key hoverfly species, 3) the preferences of hoverflies and broccoli...

Flea beetle pest management for organic potatoes

Creator:: Ambrosino, Mario D. and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Several species of flea beetles are commonly found in organic potato fields in North America. Adults of many of these species feed on the leaves of potatoes and other plants in the family Solanaceae, but tuber flea beetle larvae are the most common cause of flea beetle damage to potato...

Wireworm : biology and nonchemical management in potatoes in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service, Washington State University. Extension, University of Idaho. Extension, Andrews, N. (Nick), Ambrosino, Mario D., Fisher, Glenn C., Rondon, Silvia I., and Pacific Northwest Cooperative Extension
Abstract:: Wireworm is the common name for the larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Family Elateridae). The adults do little or no damage, although there are some anecdotal reports that they can damage certain crops (e.g., grapes and stone fruits) by feeding on flowers. However, larval wireworms are among the most destructive...

Robust nonlinear decentralized control of robot manipulators

Creator:: Jimenez, Ronald, 1964-
Abstract:: A new decentralized nonlinear controller for Robot Manipulators is presented in this thesis. Based on concepts of Lyapunov stability theory and some control ideas proposed in [3]-[7], we obtain continuous nonlinear decentralized control laws which guarantee position and velocity tracking to within an arbitrarily small error. Assumptions based on physical...

Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

Creator:: Apreotesi, Mario A.
Abstract:: With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

Microscale thermal management utilizing vapor extraction from a fractal-like branching heat sink

Creator:: Apreotesi, Mario A.
Abstract:: It is hypothesized that increases in pressure drop due to vapor generation during boiling in microchannels can be reduced by extraction of vapor at its point of inception. Ultimately, this local vapor extraction decreases the pressure drop required to drive the flow through a fractal-like branching, microchannel flow network within...

Assessment of variability and monitoring methods for leaching under cover crop management

Creator:: Hess, Mario
Abstract:: The contamination of ground water resources represents a serious problem and a prominent threat to the health of our society. This study focuses on the leaching of inorganic anions as a function of agricultural practices under natural field conditions. In order to enhance the understanding of such leaching processes, this...

Formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine and nonvolatile N-nitrosamines from barley malt alkaloids

Creator:: Mangino, Mario M.
Abstract:: Amines formed by biosynthesis in germinated barley have been suggested as precursors for N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in barley malt dried by direct-fired kilning. This hypothesis was verified by germinating raw barley and exposing the resulting malt roots and clean malt to nitrous acid. Quantitation of the NDMA formed indicated that malt...
