Observations of turbulence, internal waves, and subinertial flow were made over a steep, corrugated continental slope off Virginia during May–June 1998. At semidiurnal frequencies, a convergence of low-mode, onshore energy flux is approximately balanced by a divergence of high-wavenumber offshore energy flux. This conversion occurs in a region where the...
Month-long simulations using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric
Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) with a horizontal resolution of 9 km have been used to investigate
perturbations of topographically forced wind stress and wind stress curl during upwelling-favorable winds along
the California and Baja California coasts during June 1999....
Fisheries models often assume that discarded undersized fish and target species will survive and contribute to future recruitment and yield. If smaller fish are more susceptible to capture stressors than larger fish, then the assumption that smaller discards would contribute to recruitment may not be true. We tested the hypothesis...
Welcome to Unit II of Wood Science, THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WOOD!
This is the second in the series of 4-H Wood Science manuals. If you have completed Wood Science I, you probably are asking, “Now what?” Wood Science can be so interesting and challenging that you never really finish....
Record for 4-H horse project. Revised May 2004. Please look for up-to-date information in the OSU Extension Catalog: http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog
A 4-H dairy goat project will provide an opportunity for you to:
• Learn about breeds and how to select and judge dairy goats.
• Learn how to feed and care for your dairy goats.
• Learn responsibility by having animals of your own to care for regularly.
• Appreciate...
Multicellular eukaryotes produce small RNA molecules (approximately 21–24 nucleotides) of two general types, microRNA (miRNA) and short interfering RNA (siRNA). They collectively function as sequence-specific guides to silence or regulate genes, transposons, and viruses and to modify chromatin and genome structure. Formation or activity of small RNAs requires factors belonging...
Disease transmission forecasts can help minimize
human and domestic animal health risks by indicating
where disease control and prevention efforts should be
focused. For disease systems in which weather-related
variables affect pathogen proliferation, dispersal, or transmission,
the potential for disease forecasting exists. We
present a seasonal forecast of St. Louis...
The authors of this paper met at a summer institute sponsored by the Oregon Collaborative for Excellence in the Preparation of Teachers (OCEPT). Edwards is a researcher in undergraduate mathematics education. Ward, a pure mathematician teaching at an undergraduate institution, had had little exposure to mathematics education research prior to...
