The growth and production of brown trout, Salmo trutta Linnaeus, exposed to a concentration of 0.65 mg/l BOD (4.1 percent by volume) stabilized kraft mill effluent (KME) were studied from October 1973 until May 1974 in three experimental stream channels located near a kraft mill in Albany, Oregon. Growth rate...
The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) has emerged as a method of understanding how stories and evidence are portrayed within policy arenas to support policy discussions and what end goals these policy narratives aim to meet. This study applies the Narrative Policy framework to policy narratives used to discuss and share...
In a series of greenhouse experiments, isolates representing serotypically
distinct subpopulations of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii recovered from root
nodules of field-grown subclover Trifolium subterraneum cv. "Nangeela"), were
evaluated for their symbiotic effectiveness potential, their effect on regrowth
potential of subclover, and for their competitive abilities to form nodules. Isolates...
The severity of carbonate chemistry changes from ocean acidification is predicted to increase greatly in the coming decades, with serious consequences for marine species- especially those reliant on calcium carbonate for structure and function (Fabry et al. 2008). The Northern California Current Ecosystem off the coast of US West Coast...
The present study examined the influence of country-of- origin on the apparel purchase decision. One-hundred and eighty-one adult female sweater purchasers were surveyed directly following the purchase of a sweater for personal use in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area.

Mission Mill Museum Association purchased the woolen mill after its closure in order to develop the property as a museum. The purpose of this study was to provide...
Ocean acidification (OA) has emerged as an important focus of research and policy in this decade. Ocean acidification specifically refers to changes in the inorganic carbon system in the ocean resulting from its absorption of human-released CO₂ from the atmosphere. Anthropogenic atmospheric CO₂ levels are rapidly increasing; much of this...
Interest is expanding for the potential role of estuaries, particularly seagrass and salt marsh habitats, to sequester carbon, mitigate ocean acidification, and support abundant fisheries. The important functions of estuaries are part of a broader set of ecosystem services, or benefits to humans, which are regulated by ocean and watershed...
