The kinetics of physical and chemical processes controlling the precipitation of iron oxide minerals in unsaturated media were investigated in this study. The characteristic morphology, mineralogy, and chemistry of iron oxides were also explored. Laboratory column experiments using fine and coarse grades of silica sand were conducted to compare the...
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education program (EFNEP) helps limited income
families in Oregon improve their nutrition practices. These include
learning to:
□ Stretch family food dollars
□ Choose foods for better nutrition for family members
□ Purchase food for nutritional needs
□ Improve food production, preparation, storage, safety, and...

Nutri-Kids Visit Goodeater Farm was developed by the Oregon State University Extension Service, Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). It is intended for use in the classroom but may be used in other settings.
The purpose of this publication is to help 5- and 6-year-olds learn about food and...
Two research projects comprise this thesis. The first project investigated modifying the hormone dosing strategy traditionally used in superovulating donor cows for an embryo collection to decrease drug costs without decreasing the number of high quality, transferable embryos recovered. The objective of this project was to evaluate the number and...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex and spinal cord. Recent evidence suggests that the purine receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) plays a central role in the pathology of ALS. Previous research indicates that P2X7R activation by oxidatively modified heat shock protein 90...

The study of the effects of diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC) in some diseases is in focus for many years. However, DEDTC is a metal chelator that can present neurotoxicity as side effects. Here we investigate the effect of DEDTC on brain Zinc (Zn) content and behavior. To address this issue we used...
The essential oil from two Lantana species (Lantana lucida Schauer and Lantana salzmannii Schauer) were evaluated for their chemical composition by GC-MS. Results showed 17 predominant compounds for L. lucida, among which β-caryophyllene (19.0%) and α- caryophyllene (or humuleno, 33.0%) were the major components. L. salzmannii showed the presence of...
Agrivoltaic systems promote dual use of land by combining solar energy and agricultural production. Grazing sheep in these systems is popular but research on intentionally designed pastures to increase production is lacking. This study seeks to compare the herbage growth and lamb production in simple, diverse, and legume pasture mixes...
