Applying higher order asymptotics to mixed linear models

Creator:: Lyons, Benjamin
Abstract:: Mixed linear models are a time honored method of analyzing correlated data. However, there is still no method of calculating exact confidence intervals or p-values for an arbitrary parameter in any mixed linear model. Instead, researchers must use either specialized approximate and exact tests that have been developed for particular...

Soil carbon and nitrogen in old-growth forests in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Remillard, Suzanne Marie
Abstract:: Soil organic carbon (SOC, kg C m-2) is an important component in evaluating global C stores. The nitrogen (TN, kg N m"2) cycle is closely linked to C and understanding its role is also important. Contents and distributions of SOC and TN in soil profiles, to 1-meter depth, were estimated...

Evaluation of serum amyloid A and haptoglobin as prognostic indicators for horses in a referral population

Creator:: Westerman, Trina L.
Abstract:: Acute phase protein (APP) measurement can be used to characterize and rapidly detect inflammation. Serum amyloid A (SAA) and haptoglobin (HP) may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in horses presenting for colic and other inflammatory diseases. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the use of SAA...

Creator:: Orben, Rachael A., Paredes, Rosana, Roby, Daniel D., Irons, David B., and Shaffer, Scott A.
Abstract:: 1. Foraging and migration often require different energetic and movement strategies. Though not readily apparent, constraints during one phase might influence the foraging strategies observed in another. For marine birds that fly and dive, body size constraints likely present a trade-off between foraging ability and migration as smaller bodies reduce...

Mechanisms affecting the bioaccumulation of dietary quinoline by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Creator:: Dauble, Dennis D.
Abstract:: Factors that influenced the uptake, storage, and elimination of dietary quinoline by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were studied to obtain an understanding of the mechanisms affecting the bioaccumulation of dietary contaminants in teleosts. Rainbow trout readily absorbed ¹⁴C-quinoline from pelleted food (1% ration at 138 ug quinoline/g food) and most...

The effect of drought stress on the chemical composition and distribution in Russet Burbank and AO82260-8 potatoes

Creator:: Zhang, Peifang
Abstract:: The effects of early season and late season drought stress on various carbohydrates, calcium and/or nitrogen content at apical, central and basal tuber locations were studied for Russet Burbank and A082260-8 potatoes. Drought stress which occurred early in the stage of tuber development appeared to have more detrimental effect than...

Bacterial hydrophobicity : assessment techniques, applications and extension to colloids

Creator:: Saini, Gaurav
Abstract:: This research details laboratory assessment of bacterial hydrophobicity, variations in bacterial adhesion properties with growth and extended starvation as well as extension of this assay to colloidal hydrophobicity measurement. Hydrophobicity is an integral component of surface interactions and has been studied extensively for its role in a number of engineering...

Creator:: Goodale, B. C., La Du, J., Tilton, S. C., Sullivan, C. M., Bisson, W. H., Waters, K. M., and Tanguay, R. L.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are priority environmental contaminants that exhibit mutagenic, carcinogenic, proinflammatory, and teratogenic properties. Oxygen-substituted PAHs (OPAHs) are formed during combustion processes and via phototoxidation and biological degradation of parent (unsubstituted) PAHs. Despite their prevalence both in contaminated industrial sites and in urban air, OPAH mechanisms of action...

Use of nondestructive spectroscopy to assess chlorophyll and nitrogen in fresh leaves

Creator:: Ding, Pinghai
Abstract:: Four aspects of factors influencing the accuracy of nondestructive chlorophyll (Chl) and nitrogen (N) measurement in fresh leaves were studied: (1) optimum wavelength (OW) identification; (2) indices development and evaluation; (3) influence of leaf properties; and (4) influence of meter parameters and sampling technique. Results were used to develop indices...
