The immune system has been identified as a very sensitive target for the toxic effects of 2,3,7,S-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Exposure to TCDD has been shown to disrupt the generation of both cell-mediated and humoral T cell-dependent immunity in laboratory animals; however, the mechanism remains unknown. In this dissertation, the hypothesis is...
Since harvest levels of many of the world's fisheries are not likely to increase in
the foreseeable future, resource managers and seafood processors need to develop
improved strategies to maximize the utilization and benefits of current catches. In
addition to increasing utilization and benefits, seafood processors are subject to the...
Radish anthocyanin extract has potential as a natural colorant because of
its pigment stability and attractive red hue. Presence of undesirable aroma
compounds could limit its applications in foods. The pungent principle of
radish, 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate (MTBI), is produced
enzymatically upon cell injury from its glucosinolate precursor, 4-methylthio-3-butenyl glucosinolate (MTBG),...
The Seventh Annual James A. Vomocil Water Quality Conference was planned after three topics had been selected as being of particular interest. Wetlands, Best Management Practices, and Riparian Zone Effectiveness were the topics. Speakers were invited who by virtue of their training, their experience, or their work assignment had insights...
The Tualatin River in northwest Oregon has been designated as water quality limited by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Restoration and enhancement of riparian areas to improve water quality is one task to be pursued by management agencies. This paper examines some of the potential costs and benefits of...
Traditional season-long livestock grazing strategy on western riparian areas
has been identified as one of the factors affecting rangeland productivity as well
as wildlife habitat in riparian zones. As alternatives to summer season-long
grazing, summer short-duration grazing (without haying), and fall short-duration
grazing (following haying), were considered in this study...
