The atmospheric transport and deposition of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs), including current and historic use pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to mountain ecosystems may result in the exposure of tadpoles to these SOCs. This exposure has been implicated in amphibian population declines in California. Tadpoles encounter...
The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses two LuxR-LuxI
type quorum-sensing systems that use diffusible acyl-homoserine lactone molecules to
autoinduce and coordinate expression of multiple virulence factors. We conducted a highthroughput
screen for mutants deficient in skim-milk proteolysis—a quorum-sensing
dependent phenotype—using a nonredundant transposon-insertion library representing
most nonessential genes in P....
This thesis is comprised of a manuscript based on a laboratory experiment run in the Tsunami Wave Basin as part of a research project funded by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation called Housesmash. The purpose of the experiment was to better understand the role of the urban environment, represented...
A brief presentation on a few of the ways that Oregon State University Libraries utilize ILL data to help make collection development decisions. This presentation was a part of the ALA STARS preconference: ILL Data Storm - Practical Assessment.
Analytical methods capable of trace measurement of semi-volatile organic
compounds (SOCs) are necessary to assess the exposure of tadpoles to contaminants as a
result of long-range and regional atmospheric transport and deposition. The following
study compares the results of two analytical methods, one using pressurized liquid
extraction (PLE) and the...

Background: Spina bifida (SB) is the most common birth defect, affecting approximately 1 to 2 in 10,000 live births. SB is a complex disability with many associated, secondary, and chronic conditions that require lifelong medical care. Individuals with spina bifida (SB) are living longer with advances in medical care, and...
A method is presented in this study for improving
empirical travel cost analyses when truncated data are
available. The analysis expands upon a Monte Carlo study
conducted by Riyadi (1993) which compared the coefficient
and consumer surplus estimates for five travel cost
estimators using both truncated and censored data. Riyadi...
