Female calanoid copepods of the family Calanidae can mature with either the juvenile and most typical female pattern of setation, termed trithek (T), or with the male pattern, termed quadrithek (Q).

Several plant hormones, including ethylene and jasmonates, are known to mediate responses against biotic and abiotic stress. The first and second objectives of this thesis were (i) to elucidate the role of ethylene in defense responses against Botrytis cinerea and specifically (ii) to determine the potential contribution of ethylene response...
A one-sixth scaled facility was constructed at Oregon State University to determine
the pressure losses around Westinghouse's AP1000 Passive Containment
Cooling System. An explanation of the AP1000 Passive Containment Cooling System
is given. This study examined the pressure loss and loss coefficient around the
180 degree turn of the Passive...
