Drones provide a privileged birds’-eye view for collecting high-resolution imagery formorphometric and behavioral sampling of animals. Biologically meaningful measurements extracted from overhead images require an accurate estimate of altitude, but current commercial drones include inaccurate barometer estimates. Recent proposals for coupling altimeter systems to drones have provided customized, open-source solutions,...
The counseling profession has historically emphasized generalist practice, viewing specialization as a possible threat that could lend to fragmentation. Specialization is occurring within CACREP graduate programs (CACREP, 2016) through post-graduates focused on continuing education experiences and the professions’ acknowledgment of the importance of competence areas. Research has noted the importance...
Flexible and printed electronics have become increasingly popular as they make
possible the production of flexible, low-cost, multifunction devices that are
unachievable through traditional manufacturing methods. The printed films are
significantly impacted and thus limited by the existing ink production process.
Herein, an alternate technique of generating high-quality titanium dioxide...
Introduced species may exhibit variations in their preferred climatic niches between
their native and introduced ranges, which can have important implications for the
transferability of distribution models. In the Himalayan ecoregion, little is known about
the geographic distribution and climatic niche overlap between native and introduced
cold-water species. Here, we...
‘Top Shelf’ (Reg. no. XXX, PI YYYY), experimental designation DH162310, is a two-row winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) released by Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station in 2023. It is a malting cultivar that is known to be a non-producer of glycosidic nitrile (GN0). Glycosidic nitrile is the precursor to a regulated...
Unusual for a comedy, Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale centres early modern
preservation: a state that was neither illness nor wellness, but a reprieve from
both degeneration and reproduction. Unlike survival or recovery, preservation
sits comfortably with death and even borrows some of its features. Moreover, as
a liminal state that...
Oregon dogs are susceptible to heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic roundworm. D. immitis infects the cardiopulmonary system and reproduce within the animal, growing up to 30 cm. Dirofilaria repens is a filarial nematode that infects dogs, cats, wolves, coyotes, sea lions, and muskrats. It is also spread by mosquitos and...
Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are identified in three multiyear equatorial mooring records in Pacific and Atlantic cold tongues to evaluate how TIWs modulate turbulence. At 0◦ , 140 ◦W in the Pacific, TIWs are present in 43% of observations, and are associ ated with elevated vertical shear and a 40%...
