Grain is produced on upwards of 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin including nearly 50,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Klamath Basin Research & Extension Center (KBREC) cereal...
Concerns were raised about loss of soil from wind erosion with the announcement in early 2010 that most Klamath Reclamation Project water users would receive a delayed and reduced rate of irrigation water during the 2010 growing season, with some areas potentially receiving no irrigation water for the entire season....
Euphorbia lagascae (Euphorbiaceae- ‘spurge family’) has been recognized as one of the more promising potential new industrial crops for the drier regions in the temperate zone
(Roseberg, 1996). In the late 1950s and early 1960s the USDA analyzed many plant species in search of novel chemical compounds. They first recognized...
Non-market valuation research has produced value estimates for over forty threatened and endangered (T&E) species, including mammals, fish, birds, and crustaceans. Increasingly Stated Preference Choice Experiments (SPCE) are utilized for valuation, as the format offers flexibility for policy analysis and may reduce certain types of response biases as compared to...
Incorporating catch or harvest rate information in repeated-choice recreation fishing demand models is challenging, since multiple sources of information may be available and detail on how harvest rates change within a season is often lacking. This paper develops a framework for evaluating which source(s) of information should be used to...
Epidermal RNA samples from FVB/N mice treated with PAH standards and environmental PAH mixtures were harvested and purified using Trizol extraction and RNeasy mini prep kit purification. Epidermal RNA integrity was low (RIN mean 3.5), indicating significant RNA degradation and the need to modify handling, collection, and processing of skin...

This white paper gives an overview of the software applications used by university presses to publish digital monographs. In addition, we will look at routes taken by university presses to move from all print to some e-publishing and list the supplemental online content that is typically offered for a fee.
We study the stability properties of, and the phase error present in, several higher order (in space) staggered finite difference schemes for Maxwell's equations coupled with a Debye or Lorentz polarization model. We present a novel expansion of the symbol of finite difference approximations, of arbitrary (even) order, of the...
In an effort to foster a collaborative approach to advancing the ocean energy industry, OWET convened the OWET 2010 Developersʼ Summit on September 27 and 28, 2010 in Portland, Oregon. The purpose of the Summit was to create an open dialogue among developers, utilities, and regulatory and policy leaders to...
Changes in ownership of limited entry permits by “local” residents of the region where a fishery occurs
may have significant economic and social implications for fishery-dependent regions. This paper
examines changes in local permit ownership in Alaska salmon fisheries, for which a long-term decline in
rural local permit ownership is...
One component of the Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Project
(BSIERP) is a spatial economic model that predicts changes in fishing
activity in the Bering Sea pollock fishery that may result from climate
change. Models such as the one employed here have been used in the
Bering Sea and elsewhere...
Based on the evoked set analysis, a group of factors driving knowledge and preferences about fish farmed species are investigated with three different samples. Samples were collected in Spain, into a nationwide study about knowledge and assessments about aquaculture, funded by the General Secretary of Marine Fisheries of the Spanish...
This paper discusses the use of resource assessment surveys as the basis for effective fisheries management drawing on the resource assessment survey of the Arabian Sea coast of Oman. This survey, completed in 2009, has been undertaken in the context of the primary aim of the Oman Ministry of Fisheries...
