While exercise can be prescribed for improving cardiovascular and muscle health, no prescription exists for increasing bone mass. Because bone deformation rate has been identified as an important variable related to osteogenesis, estimates of skeletal loading during human activities likely characterize the associated osteogenic stimulus. However, estimates of body segment...
Lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) are known to have detrimental effects on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and to human health both in rural and urban areas. Heavy metal contamination enters stormwater by atmospheric deposition and by the collection of surface particles during overland flow. Stormwater runoff in urban...
Major (Fe, Mn, Al) and minor (Cr, Mo, Pb, Zn, Cd) element
analyses of metalliferous sediments in cores from the East Pacific
Rise and Bauer Deep indicate that the Bauer Deep sediments are
similar in chemistry and origin to metalliferous sediments of the
East Pacific Rises.
Fe, Pb, and Zn...

Eastern Oregon’s climate presents special challenges
to home gardeners. A short growing season
and cool nights make it difficult to grow warmseason
crops. Nevertheless, by choosing the right
varieties and providing extra protection to your
plants, you can enjoy a productive and successful
garden.
Lycopodium alkaloids have generated enormous amounts of interest from the scientific community, both as synthetic targets and for their medicinal properties. Herein is described work towards a unifying approach to large segments of the Lycopodium family. An organocatalyzed intramolecular heteroatom Michael reaction method, for the construction of piperidine and piperizine...
The study examined multicredentialed allied health workers in rural Wisconsin hospitals. The objectives identified differences in perceptions between rural allied health employers and employees regarding (1) allied health personnel shortages; (2) interest for multicredentialed allied health workers; (3) the educational preparation of rural multicredentialed allied health workers, and (4) factors...
This study was undertaken to evaluate the dry-weight-rank and
microscopic point methods for determining botanical composition on
perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) - subclover (Trifolium
subterraneum L.) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) -
subclover pasture mixtures throughout a grazing season.
Botanical composition was determined on a monthly basis from...
Necrotic ring spot (NRS) is an important fungal disease of bluegrass turf in the Pacific Northwest. Many plantings of Kentucky bluegrass in central and eastern Oregon are severely affected.
