The Boise Basin Eperimental Forest was chosen as the study area. Virgin stands typical of the ponderosa pine type of Central Idaho were found within its boundaries. The area had been divided into compartments and some mapped for forest types, age classes and topography. The mapped areas were used as the sampling units and ranged in elevation from 4900 to 5600 feet. Description of forest conditions and aspects Three forest conditions which could be easily identified in the field were chosen as sampling areas: open-brush areas, sapling-pole stands, and mature-overmature timber.

Lignin is a biopolymer mainly formed from the trans-isomers of the three precursors: p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohols, and sinapyl alcohol. Lignin components are analyzed by a twenty year old novel technique called GCXGC. Twenty-three lignin standards were injection into one-dimensional gas chromatography mass spectroscopy using 5 different column polarities. Dispersion Zone Density coefficient was developed to screen 40 predictive plots generated using two models derived from the retention indices. Ten predictive plots were chosen using the DZD coefficient which produced the best separation for the multifunctional lignin standards. The lignin standards were identified and characterize using the GCXGC. The quantitative analysis of the authentication of GCXGC analysis show better separation then the initial prediction for both models. CE-ESI-MS was the other method used for the analysis of lignin standards and Milled Wood Lignin.

Finding the Center is a collection of short stories with characters that search within themselves for answers to who they are and what is their place in the world. Through descriptive language, well-rounded characterization, and sometimes by use of experimental writing forms, the author examines themes such as mankind's place in nature, materialism, globalization, and the corporatization of America. Through a psychoanalytical approach toward writing, the characters grapple with their relationship; whether it is an understanding of one another or a clearer understanding of the role the environment plays in each of their lives. Uses of ancient myth as well as the creation of new myth hold up Midwestern rural values for inspection. The collection explores and develops images that are icons for the Midwest in the same way cowboys and rodeos are the iconographic images of the west, or like southern hospitality and genteel manners are icons of the south. / Department of English
