Potential impacts of canola (Brassica napus L.) on vegetable seed production in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Quinn, Michael P.
Abstract:: In the Willamette Valley of Oregon, a combination of the need for rotational crops and an increased desire for biofuel production created interest in planting Brassica napus (canola). However, questions were raised arisen over the potential damage canola production could have on the preexisting Brassica vegetable seed industry. To address...

Kinetic and kinematic analysis of Thai boxing roundhouse kicks

Creator:: Sidthilaw, Suwat
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine kinetic and kinematic characteristics of Thai Boxing Roundhouse Kicks. In order to measure the kinetic variables of peak force and impulse, a triaxial accelerometer was inserted into a kicking bag. The force data were derived from the known mass and measured acceleration...

Kinetic and vibration analysis of off-road bicycle suspension systems

Creator:: Levy, Morris
Abstract:: The aim of the present project was to quantify and compare differences in impact performance and damping effectiveness among various off-road bicycle suspension systems. Two experiments were conducted to compare suspensions. Fork impact performance was tested by measuring peak antero-posterior braking forces and impulses during impact with bumps of 6-...

Gene flow from transgenic glyphosate-resistant creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) at the landscape level

Creator:: Zapiola, Maria Luz
Abstract:: Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is an outcrossing, small- seeded, perennial grass that can establish outside of cultivation and has several compatible relatives. Glyphosate is a nonselective, broad spectrum, herbicide. Transgenic glyphosate-resistant (GR) creeping bentgrass (GRCB) was developed by The Scotts Company and Monsanto, but is still under USDA-APHIS regulated...

Reproductive endocrinology and vaginal cytology of the female llama (lama glama)

Creator:: Leon, Juan B.
Abstract:: Four studies were conducted in the llama (Lama glama) evaluating changes in reproductive physiology, vaginal cytology, and growth. Study I. Temporal changes in vaginal cytology were correlated with alterations in serum estradiol -17β and progesterone concentrations. A 2 * 2 factorial study examined the treatment effects of a) concurrent male...

Biased and unbiased estimation: an econometric application in the tuna industry

Creator:: Muangkoe, Marut
Abstract:: An econometric model of the canned tuna market is used to evaluate biased and unbiased estimators. Four methods for improving mean square error when multicollinearity is present in a regression equation are examined and compared with the results of ordinary least squares (OLS). Exact and inexact prior information methods are...

The role of policy and collaboration in decommissioning exempt water wells in Washington state

Creator:: Moran, Kathryn A.
Abstract:: The rapid proliferation of exempt wells since the settlement of the West has left the State of Washington with little knowledge of the existing number of exempt wells within its boundaries. Exempt wells are primarily a rural phenomena that when abandoned leave aquifers vulnerable to contaminants and create a general...

Functional transition metal oxides : structure-property relationships

Creator:: Smith, Andrew E.
Abstract:: Transition metal oxides are an important class of materials for the wide variety optical, electrical, dielectric, magnetic, and thermal properties observed. Their unique structure-property relationships allow for property tuning and often provide insight into the fundamentals of chemistry. The work in this thesis was focused on the design, synthesis and...

Vertebral elemental markers in elasmobranchs : potential for reconstructing environmental history and population structure

Creator:: Smith, Wade D.
Abstract:: Differences in the chemical composition of calcified structures can be used to reveal natal origins, connectivity, metapopulation structure, and reconstruct the environmental history or movement patterns of many marine organisms. Sharks, skates, and rays (elasmobranchs) lack the calcified structures, known as otoliths, that are typically used for geochemical studies of...
