The use of cover crops in young vineyards is not widely accepted in the Pacific Northwest due to concerns of water and nutrient competition between the cover crop and vines. The last 2 years of a 4-year study started in 2009 are reported here. The study evaluated the use of...
The Cottage Grove Reservoir has been impacted by a point source (Black Butte Mine), where mercury mining and processing has occurred within its watershed from the 1890's to the late 1960's. Total mercury concentrations in surface sediments transect samples, core samples, tributary samples, and representative food web species were measured...
Eight layered gabbro samples from two layered complexes, two
xenoliths, one basalt from a hot brine area and a standard basalt rock
(BCR-1) were analyzed by RNAA (radiochemical neutron activation
analysis) for 14 trace elements, Au, Ni, Co, Ag, Sb, Se, Zn, In, T1,
Rb, Cs, U, Ba and Sr....
Shoulder injuries, especially those caused by rotator cuff tears, are a pervasive problem in human and canine patients. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose rotator cuff tears is important for early and targeted treatment. Prior clinical work has demonstrated that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging effectively diagnose these tears....

Because of their convenience and durability, single-use plastic items have become a ubiquitous part of society since the 1930s. The overuse of these convenient and durable plastic items has created a social and environmental problem that plagues our oceans and waterways. While the issue is overwhelming and daunting, it is...
Education programs at zoos and aquariums provide opportunities for visitors to learn and garner information on animal natural history and, hopefully, conservation messaging. Fee-based programs (programs with an additional fee on top of admission prices), which are commonly employed by zoos and aquariums to foster learning opportunities for visitors, are...
Climate change remains controversial and misunderstood, despite the consensus among climate scientists that recent climate change is anthropogenic. Many American adults do not agree with or do not understand this scientific consensus, suggesting a disconnect in science communication or a distrust in science. This disconnect may begin in formal education...
The subfamily Aphrodinae is represented in the Nearctic Region by eight species contained in a single tribe, Aphrodini, and genus Aphrodes. The external and internal morphology, biology and ecology of the Nearctic members of the genus Aphrodes were investigated. Distributional evidence indicates that six of the eight species, belonging to...
