Eastern filbert blight (EFB) is a devastating disease of European hazelnut, Corylus avellana, which causes economic losses in Oregon, where 99% of the U.S. crop is produced. The causal fungus, Anisogramma anomala, is native to eastern North America, where it is found associated with the American hazelnut (C. americana). Although...
Southwest Oregon presents an environment of hot dry summers, cool moist winters, and rocky, shallow soils. The establishment of conifer plantations in this region presents challenging problems for initial seedling survival and subsequent growth. Three areas of concern include early conifer growth after seedling establishment, growth of competing hardwoods within...
In this paper, a catenary analysis of static skyline, mainline and haulback cable tensions just prior to an unsuccessful attempt by a carriage to pass an intermediate support jack is presented. Field tests were conducted for a range of skyline deflections and span chord slopes. Data collected during the field...
Automation of computational chemistry, while only an engineering feat, has the potential to accelerating computational research be removing all by the science. The work in this thesis mainly discusses fundamental understanding of complex chemical systems. What is not obvious are the numerous tasks necessary for this fundamental understanding. Under the...
We computed band gaps of amorphous oxides within the In-Ga-Zn triad. These included ZnO, Ga2O3, In2O3, Ga2ZnO4, Ga2Zn8O11, In2ZnO4, InGaZnO4, and InGaO3. Comparing the computed band gap to experimental measurements, the results were promising with a mean unsigned error of 0.28 eV and an unsigned standard deviation of 0.28 eV....

Environmental DNA sequencing has revealed the expansive biodiversity of microorganisms
and clarified the relationship between host-associated microbial communities and host
phenotype. Shotgun metagenomic DNA sequencing is a relatively new and powerful
environmental sequencing approach that provides insight into community biodiversity and
function. But, the analysis of metagenomic sequences is complicated...
