In this paper the extent of the steep slope brush conversion problem will be estimated. Potential solutions and development should be commensurable with the extent of the problem. The state-of-the-art of steep slope site preparation and conversion will
be described. Feasible alternatives to these limited options will be developed.
This thesis develops a model for locating field offices for the
Motor Vehicles Division of Oregon. The locations are determined by
minimizing the total cost to the Public. This is reasonable because
the Public finances the operation and the opening of the offices
through tax dollars, and it bears the...
Oregon's Willamette Valley sweet cherry growers have
developed a market for large, high quality, stem-on brining cherries.
The maturity indices pull force (PF), percent soluble solids (SS),
and weight (Wt) were chosen as being the most probable indicators of
maturity.
The rate of change of PF during the harvest period...
Mutations to superoxide dismutase were the first proven cause of Lou
Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS) implicating superoxide in
the selective death of motor neurons that characterizes ALS. Nitric oxide
competes effectively with superoxide dismutase for superoxide to form the
powerful oxidant peroxynitrite. Endogenous formation of peroxynitrite can kill...

Ellipsometry was used to study the effects of surface energetics
and temperature on the equilibrium adsorptive behavior exhibited by
β-lactoglobulin. β-Lactoglobulin isotherms at 25, 37, and 55°C were
constructed for this purpose. The surfaces of acrylic, polycarbonate,
polyester, glass, and #304 stainless steel were contacted with protein
solutions of varying...
Biodiversity losses in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems are accelerating at a global scale and the most threatened vertebrate taxa are those associated with freshwater habitats. The causes of biodiversity losses are often complex and include synergistic effects of natural and human-induced stressors, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, urbanization,...
The imposing andesite stratovolcano is the characteristic expression of subduction zone magmatism, posing hazards to coastal populations and bearing insight into deep Earth processes. On a map of a typical volcanic arc, one can easily distinguish the approximately linear alignment and regular spacing of these major edifices that stand out...
