Despite the high economic and social value of Dungeness crab, no stock assessment work has been conducted on coastal Dungeness crab populations in Oregon. The fishery is currently managed based on a sex, size, and season strategy (e.g. males of a minimum size fished during specified months). It is estimated...
We quantified the patterns in macroinvertebrate assemblages and their
associated environmental gradients from 457 least-disturbed wadeable
stream sites across the 48 contiguous United States sampled as part
of US EPA’s National Wadeable Stream Assessment. The majority of the
variation in assemblage composition at the finest taxonomic resolution
was related to...
OBJECTIVE: Pharmacokinetic interactions exist between combined
oral contraceptives and protease inhibitors (PI). However, such
information is lacking for progestin-only oral contraception. We
sought to define the steady-state pharmacokinetic interaction between
norethindrone (NET) and PI in HIV-infected women.
METHODS AND DESIGN: We conducted an open-label, prospective,
nonrandomized trial to characterize the...
Recent studies hypothesize that some submarine slides fail via pressure-driven slow-slip deformation. To test this hypothesis, this study derives pore pressures in failed and adjacent unfailed deep marine sediments by integrating rock physics models, physical property measurements on recovered sediment core, and wireline logs. Two drill sites (U1394 and U1399)...
