The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the overall
changes in concentration of plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), red blood cell PLP (rbc
PLP) and plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in persons with
diabetes mellitus (DM), and to test the hypothesis that the...
Counter Current Flow Limitation (CCFL) was observed in the pressurizer surge line of the Oregon State University APEX facility during test NRC-10. This test simulated a one-inch diameter cold leg break with a failure of three of four of the fourth-stage Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) valves. The result was a...
This study was to investigate effects of growth rate
and cambial age on properties of wood from two increasingly
used hardwood species, red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) and
Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana Dougl.), for better
understanding factors affecting wood quality in hardwoods.
Thirty 7-year-old trees grown at widely varying...
Reforesting harvested lands in southwestern Oregon has been
difficult because of low rainfall, high evaporative demand, and
competitive understory vegetation. Herbicides have been a preferred
method to control competing vegetation but herbicide use on federal
lands was curtailed in 1984. As a result, interest in livestock
grazing as a vegetation...
A method for isolating the salt gland (SG) from the larval brine
shrimp has been developed. This extra-renal organ is removed from 5-10%
of Stage Inauplii by vortexing after incubating the animals at 37°C for
8 hours in a saline solution buffered with 100 mM sodium phosphate at pH
7.6....
