Steven Universe, a relatively new show from Cartoon Network, explores an unexpectedly complex understanding of gender through their main protagonists. Utilizing Judith Butler’s work on gender performativity and doing gender, as well as Daniel Dennett’s conception of the self as a theorist’s fiction, and Alexander Weheliye’s understanding of power and...
Increased competition brought about by trade liberalization has raised the stakes
for improving productivity in U.S. and Canadian food processing. A key element of
productivity growth is technological change, which in turn results from R&D investment.
The present study employs an econometric model to assess rates of technological change
and...
Under the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSRA), US fisheries management councils must specify an annual catch limit (ACL) for each managed species and institute accountability measures (AMs) to ensure that actual harvest will not cause the stock to be overfished. While the details of implementation are still being developed, a set...
Pacific razor clams (Siliqua patula) are narrow oblong bivalves that can be found in sandy habitats along the western coast of the United States, from Alaska (Aleutian Islands) to southern California (Pismo Beach). In Washington state, the razor clam fishery has been documented to be an important contributor to the...
Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) is the most widely planted
species in the Patagonian Andes region of Argentina for economic development.
However, information on site quality and yield is so limited that potential forest
investors and managers do not have a reliable basis on which to make sound...
Natural uranium samples were irradiated in-core for 7 seconds using the pneumatic rabbit system within the TRIGA Mark II Reactor at Oregon State University, and then used to generate a gamma-ray spectrum with a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The irradiated sample was simulated in Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP), a...
Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry
(Rubus parviflorus) are clonal shrub species common to
reforestation sites in the Oregon Coast Range. These
species have economic importance, because they reduce
conifer seedling growth and survival. A population modeling
approach was used to facilitate study of the biology of
these species and to...
To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and
Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length
mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are
characterized by shared large inversions that are...
