The vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates the pleiotropic biologic effects of 1alpha,25
dihydroxy-vitamin D3. Recent in vitro studies suggested that curcumin and poly-unsaturated fatty
acids (PUFAs) also bind to VDR with low affinity. As potential ligands for the VDR, we hypothesized
that curcumin and PUFAs would induce expression of known...
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an invasive insect and a very serious threat to Oregon agriculture. It feeds on more than 100 plants, including economically important crops and ornamentals. This card has photos and descriptions to help identify brown marmorated stink bugs and distinguish them from other...

Students in Kristin Griffin's Fall 2012 WR222 Argumentation class worked in groups to create podcasts in which they considered some aspect of Oregon State's culture, community and/or geography as it was in the past and how it is today. Their research was based in the Special Collections & Archives and...

Obedience and showmanship contests provide an opportunity for youth to demonstrate how well they have trained their dog and how the youth and dog work as a team.
The cultivated strawberry is one of the youngest domesticated plants, developed in France in the 1700s from chance hybridization between two western hemisphere octoploid species. However, little is known about the evolution of the species that gave rise to this important fruit crop. Phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast genome sequences of...
One of the least studied areas of Information Foraging Theory
is diet: the information foragers choose to seek. For
example, do foragers choose solely based on cost, or do
they stubbornly pursue certain diets regardless of cost? Do
their debugging strategies vary with their diets? To investigate
"what" and "how"...
With continued development of the electronic industry, the demand for highly efficient heat removal solutions requires innovative cooling technologies. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study, including heat transfer, is performed for an axisymmetric, confined jet impingement experiencing boiling and coupled with vapor extraction. Boiling occurs at the target surface while...
In the final phase of their spawning migration, Pacific salmon use chemical cues to identify their home river, but how they navigate from the open ocean to the correct coastal area has remained enigmatic [1]. To test the hypothesis that salmon imprint on the magnetic field that exists where they...
Incorporating a life course perspective, this qualitative study used focus groups to explore the experiences of midlife adults who were simultaneously providing support to emerging adult children and aging parents. Results indicated that adults situated in middle generations held beliefs that endorsed family-based responsibility to both younger and older members....

A central goal of green chemistry is to avoid hazard in the design of new chemicals. This objective is best achieved when information about a chemical's potential hazardous effects is obtained as early in the design process as feasible. Endocrine disruption is a type of hazard that to date has...
Despite concern expressed two decades ago, there has been little recent discussion about continuing declines of migrant bird populations. Monitoring efforts have been focused almost exclusively on the breeding grounds. We describe the long-term decline of a winter-resident bird population in Guánica Commonwealth Forest, Puerto Rico, one of the last...
