The Asian isopod Ianiropsis serricaudis is now well established in fouling communities, often associated with introduced ascidians, throughout the Northern Hemisphere but has gone largely unnoticed because of its diminutive size (typically less than 3 mm in length) and the difficulties of identifying small peracarid crustaceans. Known locations include the...
Many nonmodel species exemplify important biological questions but lack the sequence resources required to study the genes and genomic regions underlying traits of interest. Reef-building corals are famously sensitive to rising seawater temperatures, motivating ongoing research into their stress responses and long-term prospects in a changing climate. A comprehensive understanding...
Two experiments examined the dynamic interaction between cognitive resources in short-term memory and bimanual object manipulation by extending recent research by Logan and Fischman (2011). In Experiment 1, 16 participants completed a bimanual end-state comfort task and a memory task requiring serial recall of 12 words or pictures. The end-state...
A mid-20th century prisoners' rights revolution gave American prisoners unprecedented access to courts for exercising newly elaborated constitutional rights. The result was a tide of litigation brought by inmates and subsequent remedial court orders requiring corrections officials to improve conditions of confinement. It was in this context of aggressive judicial...
We report an ultra-compact, cost-effective on-chip near-infrared spectroscopy system for CO₂ sensing using narrow-band optical filter array based on plasmonic gratings with a waveguide layer. By varying the periodicity of the gratings, the transmission spectra of the filters can be continuously tuned to cover the 2.0 μm sensing window with high...
"In 1984, Oregon State University's Department of Agricultural
and Resource Economics was again asked to make a winegrape acreage
survey in Oregon. Winegrape acreage is currently increasing
dramatically and the Wine Advisory Board (WAB) 1s Interested In
keeping track of these changes.
In 1981 and 1982 the Department made surveys...
Studies examining the effects of human disturbance on avian parental behavior and reproductive
success are fundamental to bird conservation. However, many such studies fail to also consider the influence of
natural threats, a variable environment, and parental roles. Our work examines interactive relationships of cyclical
(time of day, tide, temperature,...
