Characterization of Microbial Communities in Oregon Vineyard Soils [1998-1999]

Creator:: Scow, Kate M, and Gardner, Lorraine
Abstract:: RESEARCH OBJECTIVES: 1. Determine differences in microbial community structure and microbial biomass among Oregon vineyard soils using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis. 2. Assess the relative importance of several environmental factors affecting microbial community structure in Oregon vineyard soils. 3. Test the ability of PLFA analysis to distinguish differences in...

Detrital Influences on Soil Carbon Stabilization in Wet Temperate Forest Soils

Creator:: Pierson, Derek N.
Abstract:: Soils, with their potential to store and stabilize carbon (C), are an essential resource for sustaining forest productivity, as well as for efforts to reduce atmospheric C concentrations. Protecting existing soil C and harnessing the sequestration potential of our soils require an improved understanding of the processes through which soil...

The fate of organic and inorganic nitrogen inputs in an old-growth forest of the central Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:: Holub, Scott M.
Abstract:: Forests in the Pacific Northwest receive very little nitrogen through atmospheric deposition and thus studying the nitrogen cycle in this region can provide insights into how the unpolluted nitrogen cycle functions. I examined the fate of organic nitrogen versus inorganic nitrogen and the effect of tamlins on N retention by...

The Occurrence of Acarapis dorsalis, Acarapis externus and Acarapis woodi Mites in honey bee populations surrounding Poitiers, France

Creator:: Jillson, Katherine M.
Abstract:: Acarapis mites have been present in the United States since 1984 and are presently considered a threat to honey bee populations in North America. They have been present in Europe since 1921 where infestation rates have now dwindled to a level that is not considered dangerous. Consequently, accurate information on...

Aquatic community responses to drought disturbance: experimental manipulations of top predator extinctions and stream drying

Creator:: Boersma, Kate S.
Abstract:: Although it is generally assumed that the intensifying abiotic environment is the primary effect of drought on aquatic organisms, drought-induced top predator extinctions may be an important underlying mechanism. I used manipulative experiments to disentangle the impacts of drying and top predator extinctions on arid-land aquatic invertebrate communities. I then...

Writing against convention : Kate Chopin's short fiction in Vogue, 1893-1900

Creator:: VanKooten, Crystal
Abstract:: Kate Chopin, author of the proto-feminist novel The Awakening, was also a prolific writer of short stories. Nineteen of her stories were originally published in Vogue magazine between 1893 and 1900. This study looks at six of these stories, "The Father of Desiree's Baby," "A Respectable Woman," "The Dream of...

Bioactive and Biocompatible Coatings for Endotoxin Capture in Treatment of Sepsis

Creator:: Su, Jonathan
Abstract:: Sepsis is a blood infection caused by circulating pathogens and cell wall fragments that affects over 1 million patients per year in the United States. When bacterial cell membranes are lysed by antibiotics, cell wall fragments containing lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are released. As a result, the capture of LPS is critical...

Changes in Microbial Extracellular Enzyme Activity in Pacific Northwest Old-Growth Forest Soils After Wildfire

Creator:: Hughes, Abby
Abstract:: The soil microbiome drives nutrient transformation in forest soils and plays a critical role in the carbon (C) cycle of these ecosystems. Wildfires cause significant disturbance to ecosystems and are known to alter C sources available to microbes in forest soils. Summer wildfires in the Pacific Northwest are of growing...

Reactive polyphenols and dissolved nutrients in a nitrogen-limited headwater catchment, western Cascades, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Rasmussen, Janet K.
Abstract:: In undisturbed N-limited forested catchments, DON may represent over 90% of the total N lost in streams. Some ecologists have suggested that plant-derived reactive polyphenols may be responsible for DON binding and transport because polyphenol-protein complexes are known to precipitate out of solution, bind to mineral surfaces or organic matter...

Surface-Initiated Click-Ready Bioactive Polymer Coatings: Synthesis and Characterization

Creator:: Yu, Bonan
Abstract:: Protein adsorption on blood contacting medical devices usually causes fouling and failure, and may promote clotting and undesirable immune responses. Hydrophilic polymer coatings in a dense, pendent “brush” conformation can resist protein adsorption on the surface while increasing biocompatibility. Such coatings can also be used to immobilize a variety of...
