Leadership, organizational structure, and communication/interpersonal relations are key functions studied. Evaluation of the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project (Project) considers how well those factors were managed by Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in a bioregional assessment during a period from November, 1994 to November, 1995. Exploration of...
Interactions between proteins are essential to life, driving and regulating a majority of processes within all living cells. Study of protein-protein interactions reveals that some proteins act as hubs within networks of interactions, binding to many partner proteins. These hubs therefore are of particular importance to understanding protein function, interwoven...
Traditional approaches for the direct preparation of alkenes are unable to fully control either the stereochemical configuration of the carbon-carbon double bond or else the regiochemistry of the substituents surrounding it. The recently introduced concept of carbenoid eliminative cross-coupling (CEXC) offers a remedy to these deficiencies by providing for a...
Take-all root rot (caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var.
tritici, Ggt) is one of the major diseases limiting winter wheat
yields in western Oregon. Losses caused by take-all (TA) can be
significantly reduced through crop management and fertilization
practices.
Results from field experiments in western Oregon show that the
use of...
The atmospheric radiative transfer model MOCARAT was developed and is presented in this thesis. MOCARAT employs a Monte Carlo Technique for the accurate modeling of band radiances and reflectances in an atmospheric system with a ruffled ocean surface as a lower boundary. The atmospheric radiative transfer is modeled with consideration...
Detection of reactor antineutrinos for non-proliferation applications has been researched extensively across the globe and is considered as a potential technology to remotely monitor reactor operations without any intrusions to reactor components. Reactor antineutrino detection experiments have been conducted in the past and have proven successful in detecting the changes...
As the real and nominal exchange rates have become more volatile since the early 1970s, the study of the effect of exchange rate on trade flows has come into sharp focus. While conventional effects of depreciation or appreciation of exchange rates on trade flows have been accepted and verified by...
