Urban development in coastal Oregon : discrete-choice estimation with spatial autocorrelation

Creator:: Todd, Maribeth
Abstract:: Development along the Oregon coast is continuing in areas that are known to be hazardous, in spite of strict zoning and other laws. The coast commonly sees erosion that can wash away cliffs and undermine structures as well as accretion that can bury houses in sand. However the much more...

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...

Development of predictive mapping techniques for soil survey and salinity mapping

Creator:: Elnaggar, Abdelhamid A.
Abstract:: Conventional soil maps represent a valuable source of information about soil characteristics, however they are subjective, very expensive, and time-consuming to prepare. Also, they do not include explicit information about the conceptual mental model used in developing them nor information about their accuracy, in addition to the error associated with...

Mapping quantitative trait loci underlying genome-wide recombination rate and mating system differences in meadowfoam

Creator:: Kishore, Venkata Krishna
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Bentham; Order: Brassicales; Family: Limnanthaceae) is a self-compatible, predominantly allogamous, insect pollinated species. Meadowfoam oil is a source of novel unsaturated very-long-chain (VLC) seed oils (C₂₀ and C₂₂) with low concentrations of saturated fatty acids (typically less than 2%) and outstanding oxidative stability. Here we report the...

Distributions and fishery associations of immature short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria albatrus) in the North Pacific

Creator:: O'Connor, Amelia J.
Abstract:: Short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria albatrus, hereafter "STAL") migrate throughout the North Pacific, overlapping with multiple large scale fisheries. In the Bering Sea, documented bycatch of this species is a focal conservation concern, due to the fact that this species is listed as "endangered" under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. We conducted...

Analysis of carbon dioxide levels in a mechanically ventilated college classroom

Creator:: Silva, Andrew P.
Abstract:: Poor air quality can result in reduced productivity and higher absenteeism in students, fatigue, eye, nose and throat irritation and reduced comfort. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that 2 million education employees work in areas with poor indoor air quality. The measurement of carbon dioxide often is...

The genetics of winterhardiness in barley : perspectives from genome-wide association mapping

Creator:: von Zitzewitz, Jarislav
Abstract:: Fall-planted barley makes the best use of available precipitation in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. This growth habit is also suitable to many other areas of the world. A prerequisite for production in most of these areas is tolerance of low temperature during the vegetative growth stages. Fall-planted...

The Islamic Prohibition on Interest : Muslim Americans’ Financial Understandings, Attitudes, and Behavior

Creator:: Moussaoui, Ibrahim
Abstract:: In Islam, paying and receiving interest is prohibited based on the belief that money should not be a commodity that is “rented” out; instead, Islamic lending structures arrange loans on an equity basis. This work examines the historical origins of interest prohibition and explains how different Islamic financial products provide...

Role of propagule pressure and priority effects on plant establishment during restoration of invaded shrub-steppe

Creator:: Schantz, Merilynn C.
Abstract:: Biological plant invasions are diminishing the ecological integrity and function of ecosystems worldwide. A primary example of this is in the Great Basin of the United States, where invasive annual grasses, like cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae L. Nevski), are dominating many sagebrush-steppe ecosystems. In these invaded...

The phytoplankton and limnological characteristics of Lago Rupanco, Osorno, Chile

Creator:: Donoso, Teresa G.
Abstract:: Lago Rupanco is located in the central plain of Chile (Borgel, 1964) at 40° 50' S; 72° 30' W. It lies at 117 m above sea level, and corresponds to type 28c of Hutchinson's (1967) classification. Lago Rupanco is a warm, monomictic lake, with winter circulation and summer stratification. Physical,...
