Two vintages of Vitis vinifera cv. Pinot noir wine from a viticulture trial evaluating
nitrogen fertilization, tilling and irrigation underwent descriptive analysis using a
modified version of free-choice profiling. Wines were made from three field blocks
of the twelve factorial combinations of Irrigation (Dry or Irrigated), Tillage (Tilled
or not...
The sensory evaluation of the 2000 vintage Pinot noir wines from the Oregon State
University viticulture trials at Benton Lane Vineyard was conducted by a panel of 11
semi-trained panelists using a modified version of free-choice profiling. 36 wines were
made from 3 replications of the 12 field treatments. For...
1999 Pinot noir wines from the Oregon State University viticulture trials at Benton Lane
vineyard were evaluated using free-choice profiling by a panel of 16 Oregon winemakers
in January 2001. This work is the continuation of the project described in Manipulating
Soil Moisture and Nitrogen Availability to Improve Fermentation Behavior...
Species' distributions across the landscape are perhaps the least understood yet most conspicuous features of life on earth. Ecologists have long studied species' distributions; yet, many questions remain about why species occur where they do. Such questions persist largely because species' distributions are complex systems with challenging properties like non-linearity,...
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. In 2012, over 220,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States. It has been hypothesized that dairy may play a role in breast cancer; however, the evidence has been inconsistent and limited. Proposed mechanisms linking dairy and...

The current generation of scientists will be asked to mitigate climate change, stall biodiversity loss, and protect ecological communities. These are tasks that require a knowledge of both ecological and social systems to be undertaken successfully. Therefore, my dissertation spans the fields of community ecology and social sciences in an...
