This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen
availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at
increasing yeast assimilable nitrogen in the fruit at harvest have been evaluated.
This study seeks to improve fermentation behavior and wine quality through
vineyard practices used for nitrogen management....
Most quality wines are produced in areas where annual precipitation is below 700 to 800 mm (Jackson & Schuster, 1994), and evidence suggests that high rainfall or excessive irrigation lowers quality. Excessive irrigation is reported to slow ripening, increase yields partially berry enlargement, elevate juice pH and acid content, and...
The objectives of this study are to determine:
· How vine vigor and fruit composition vary in different alleyway management regimes: solid vegetative cover vs. every other alleyway of vegetative cover removed
· What differences are observed in different alleyway management regimes within a vineyard
· What differences are observed...
This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen
availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at
improving fermentation behavior and wine quality are being evaluated. This study aims
to optimize fruit quality and maximize the juice nitrogen fraction that can be used by
yeast during...
The objectives of this study are to determine:
• How the time of leaf pulling affects Pinot noir fruit quality and composition
• How the intensity of leaf pulling affects Pinot noir fruit quality and composition
• If there is a difference in fruit quality and composition when lateral leafs...
The Columbia River Basin historically supported abundant populations of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) but, largely due to anthropogenic influence, many populations are now listed as threatened or endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Habitat restoration efforts have been a critical component of salmon recovery plans. However, although the importance...
Moisture durability is essential for wood composites, especially those used in building construction, where products are prone to weathering. The primary focus of this research was to determine if adhesive penetration into the cell wall has a positive influence on adhesive bond durability. To fully understand the measureable effects of...

Motivation
Relatively little is known about the evolution of mitochondrial genomes between Caenorhabditis species despite decades of research. Both the worldwide search for new nematode species and the effort to increase sequencing speeds require automated tools to quickly characterize and categorize large amounts of data.

A commitment to diversity is now quite common in the missions of colleges and universities. One of the primary barriers to hiring a diverse faculty is the role that implicit bias, or the case of identifying flawed ideas as reliable choices systematically, plays in the search and selection process. At...
