Common camas (Camassia quamash) is a culturally important wetland plant, used as a staple food source by many indigenous peoples of western North America for thousands of years. Camas populations were once widespread, but conversion of wetland prairies to agriculture has led to declines in suitable habitat. Edible camas bulbs...
Alfaxalone (3a-hydroxy-5a-pregnane-11,20-dione) is a neuroactive steroid that can induce anesthesia. It has recently been reformulated and solubilized in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HCPD). Propofol and the combination of ketamine and diazepam are commonly used induction drugs in all species. The objective of this prospective randomized and crossover design study was to evaluate the...
Government on all levels has actively promoted the Community-Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) paradigm as a progressive antidote to past reliance on reactive police practices. This paper analyzes the impact of this paradigm on policing, describes examples of programs designed to implement the COPPS paradigm, and assesses some of...
We present multiple lines of evidence for years to decade-long changes in the location and
character of volcanic activity at West Mata seamount in the NE Lau basin over a 16 year period, and a hiatus
in summit eruptions from early 2011 to at least September 2012. Boninite lava and...

The goal of this thesis was to develop a process of producing small monodisperse
alginate gel beads. The phenomenon of controlled jet break-up of alginate solution jet
with assisted vibration was used to form uniform sodium alginate droplets which were
subsequently crosslinked with divalent calcium ion to form gel beads....
This dissertation uses a new methodological approach for an in-depth analysis of three cartographic works. Studies within the discipline of the history of cartography have followed various methodologies throughout the past century. This dissertation argues that in order to come to a more complete understanding of how maps were produced...
Knowledge of regional-scale patterns of plant community structure and controlling factors is largely qualitative and based on numerous local studies. Data from a subsample of 10,000 field plots were used to quantify and map compositional gradients of woody plant communities across Oregon forests. Canonical correspondence analyses explained 9-14% of the...
In situ optical measurements of spectral absorption and beam attenuation provide information on the fine scale horizontal and vertical variations in phytoplankton pigments and other measures of phytoplankton photophysiology and ecology in coastal waters. Phytoplankton pigment ratios from discrete sample analyses with High Performance Liquid Chromatography were compared to in...
