We examine the 0–100 Ma paleoceanographic record retained in pelagic clay from the South Pacific Gyre (SPG) by analyzing 47 major, trace, and rare earth elements in bulk sediment in 206 samples from seven sites drilled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 329. We use multivariate statistical analyses (Q-mode factor analysis...
Dating pelagic clay can be a challenge due to its slow sedimentation rate, post-depositional alteration, and lack of biogenic deposition. Co-based dating techniques have the potential to create age models in pelagic clay under the assumption that the flux of non-detrital Co to the seafloor is spatially and temporally constant,...
The aims of this study were first, to test the hypothesis that metrics of fish growth and condition relate positively to parasite species richness (S[subscript R]) in a salmonid host; second, to identify whether S[subscript R] differs as a function of host origin; third, to identify whether acquisition of parasites...
The federally threatened northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) is the focus of intensive
conservation efforts that have led to much forested land being reserved as habitat for the owl and associated wildlife
species throughout the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Recently, however, a relatively new threat to spotted...
For more than a decade, feature films produced by the GDR film company DEFA have been popular items in Germany. I analyze these films as commodities, arguing that this success by DEFA cinema needs to be read in conjunction with clever marketing strategies employed by the nonprofit foundation DEFA-Stiftung and...

Annual ryegrass varieties such as ‘Gulf’ are grown for seed on poorly drained soils of the south Willamette Valley, including Dayton, Concord, and Bashaw. Recommendations in this guide are based on research throughout this production area. Management practices from seedbed preparation to harvest must be performed in an appropriate and...
Tall fescue is grown for turf or forage seed on a broad range of soils in western Oregon. Typical seed yield is 1,200 to 2,000 lb/acre. Higher yields do not require additional nutrients beyond amounts recommended in this guide. These recommendations, especially for nitrogen, are adequate for production of more...
Perennial ryegrass is grown for turf or forage seed on a broad range of soils in western Oregon. All perennial ryegrass varieties are similar in their nutrient requirements. Typical seed yield is between 1,400 and 1,800 lb/acre.
Higher seed yields (up to 2,500 lb/acre) may be produced on better soils,...
