Estimation of Soil Particle Size Distribution using CT Scans

Creator:: Boath, Max E.
Abstract:: Remote sensing techniques have been applied extensively in geospatial investigations, but their use in measuring soil physical attributes has been far less explored. Soil particle size distributions (PSD) are indispensable in modeling pedological and hydrological processes as well as biodiversity. However, estimation of PSD via gravimetric measurement methods, the standard...

Supplemental Feeder Use by Free-Living Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) in a Mediterranean Climate

Creator:: Lajoie, Janel L.
Abstract:: The majority of households in the U.S., Great Britain, and Australia feed wild birds, and 53 million people in the U.S. spent more than $5 billion on bird food and feeding accessories in 2016. Given the massive scale over which it occurs, purposeful feeding of wild birds has the potential...

Optimizing Production of Xylindein by Chlorociboria sp. and its Potential for Use with Nanocellulose

Creator:: Van Court, R. C.
Abstract:: Fungi from the genus Chlorociboria are known for their production of the blue-green quinonic pigment xylindein. Extracted xylindein has been the subject of investigations ranging from fabric dying to use a coloring agent in paint, and shows potential as an organic semiconductor in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and other technologies. However,...

Relative Health Effects of Intake of High-Fat Diets Enriched with Raspberry Fiber and Raspberry Polyphenol in C57B/J6 Mice

Creator:: Sturm, Marlena L.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Consumption of raspberry products have been observed to produce healthful effects and reduce weight gain and positively shift metabolism in mice fed obesigenic diets. In the past, our lab has successfully shown a reduction in weight gain for mice consuming RPC+HF vs. mice fed HF alone. Currently, there is...

Created Snag Dynamics and Influence on Cavity-nesting Bird Communities over 25 years in Western Oregon

Creator:: Barry, Amy Marie
Abstract:: Snags provide critical habitat for nearly one-third of wildlife species in forests of the Pacific Northwest, so historic declines in snags are thought to have had a strong impact on biodiversity. Resource managers often create snags to mitigate the scarcity of snags within managed forests, but information regarding the function...

Accuracy Evaluation of Real-Time GNSS Survey Observations

Creator:: Allahyari, Mahsa
Abstract:: Real time networks (RTNs) have become popular for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveys because highly accurate positions can be derived in seconds to minutes compared to hours as required with static sessions. To evaluate the accuracy of these shorter-duration, RTN GNSS observations and their potential for use as a...

Assessment of potential bioremediation of heavy metals found in treated wood by ectomycorrhizal and wood-decay fungi in pure culture and the bioremoval of fruiting bodies

Creator:: Donnelly, Johanna
Abstract:: Treated wood commodities disposed of in landfills contain chemicals that can migrate into the environment. Wood treatments such as ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA) contain heavy metals which prevent the biological degradation of wood. These metals can migrate out of treated wood into soil or groundwater, posing environmental hazards. This...

Insights into the pathology and epidemiology of Phytophthora ramorum, causal agent of sudden oak death

Creator:: Daniels, Hazel A.
Abstract:: Sudden oak death is caused by the clonally reproducing generalist oomycete Phytophthora ramorum. The pathogen can infect more than 130 different plant hosts including Quercus spp., Larix kaempferi, and Notholithocarpus densiflorus, as well as common nursery genera such as Rhododendron and Camelia, where it causes symptoms ranging from bleeding cankers...

A Vision System for Automatic Dendrometry and Forest Mapping

Creator:: Wells, Lucas A.
Abstract:: In pursuit of global sustainability, forestry has witnessed significant shifts in practices and the development of new technologies and ideas. Primary and secondary processing industries have made substantial efforts to increase wood utilization rates, improve occupational safety and the working environment for humans, and have exhibited interest in procuring raw...

Oils Colored with Wood-Staining Fungal Pigments : Color Loss, Oxidation, and Structural Breakdown

Creator:: Hinsch, Eric M.
Abstract:: Wood-staining fungal pigments have potential uses as colorants for wood and textiles. Traditionally, organic solvents have been used as carriers for these pigments. However, other environmentally-friendly and more readily available carriers must be found. Natural oils have the potential to carry these pigments but have demonstrated color loss over relatively...
