We report here that (4R,9Z)-hexadec-9-en-4-olide [(R)-desmolactone] is a sex
attractant or sex pheromone for multiple species and subspecies in the cerambycid
genus Desmocerus. This compound was previously identified as a female-produced
sex attractant pheromone of Desmocerus californicus californicus.
Headspace volatiles from female Desmocerus aureipennis aureipennis contained
(R)-desmolactone, and the antennae...

In this thesis, I examine the experiences of breastfeeding mothers who chose to give birth with Certified Professional Midwives at a free-standing birth center, and the factors that influence their known high rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration. Using grounded theory and data collected from participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and...
Water quality problems related to excessive algal
growth, high nutrient loading, and low flows have been
occurring along Oregon's Tualatin River. The Tualatin River
is 86 miles long and has a drainage basin of 711 square
miles. The drainage basin incorporates forest,
agricultural, and urban areas. Located in the Portland...
We simulate three-dimensional ice temperature fields to examine spatial-temporal history of the subglacial thermal environment during the last glacial cycle. Model results suggest that 60–80% of the Laurentide Ice Sheet was cold-based (frozen to the bed) at the LGM, and therefore unable to undergo large-scale basal flow. The fraction of...
Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...
The purpose of this dissertation was to extend the current body of knowledge regarding the experiences and processes involved regarding how White mental health counselors deconstruct their internalized, and often unacknowledged, racism as well as attempt to dismantle institutionalized racism, in order to develop nonracist White racial identities. By adding...
The Mars Hopper is an alternative extraterrestrial vehicle for the collection of samples from the Martian surface. This thesis studied the engine of the Mars Hopper to assess the validity of the current planned launch cycle according to current parameters. To do this, the engine was simplified to an average...
