Three chemicals SD 55446, SD 55447 and WL 84245 were found to
induce male sterility in cultivars of wheat or triticale. Both SD 55446
and SD 55447 when applied at a concentration of 0.896 kg/ha resulted
in 90% male sterility. However, SD 55447 caused female sterility at
the same concentration...
Traditional robots have a long history in nuclear-related work because their integration decreases risk to humans in dangerous environments. Soft robotics is one promising new branch of traditional robotics with proposed applications in industry, medicine, and society. Collaborators from the Robotics mLab at Oregon State University (OSU) are currently working...
In vitro studies of Mobam (4-benzo(b)thienyl N-methylcarbamate) metabolism have demonstrated that at least three ether soluble metabolites are formed in a microsomal system fortified with reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (NADPH). One of the metabolites was identical to 4HBT (4-hydroxy benzothiophene), the phenol of Mobam. The other two metabolites did not possess...

Hard red winter wheat has the potential to be an alternative crop
in the Pacific Northwest, however percent grain nitrogen has been
unacceptably low and grain yields have been about only 80% of soft white
winter wheat. During the late spring and the summer months there is
usually little rainfall,...
Soft robotics utilizes compliant materials (such as rubber) to make robots that are flexible and safe around humans, however these materials present many practical manufacturing challenges. Current fabrication methods use molding techniques which limits the soft robot designs which could be fabricated and impacts part consistency. This defense introduces a...
Species conservation depends on robust population assessment. Data on population abundance, distribution, and connectivity are critical for effective management, especially as baseline information for newly documented populations. I describe a pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) population in New Zealand waters with year-round presence that overlaps with industrial activities. This...
