We present a systems modeling approach to the development of a place-based ecohydrological model. The conceptual model is calibrated to a variety of existing observations, taken in watershed 10 (WS10) at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) in Oregon, USA, a long term ecological research (LTER) site with a long...
A technical definition of artisan breads is proposed, based on the concepts of lean formulations, long fermentations, and the use of process as the primary way to adapt to changing flour qualities. The current status of what constitutes refined flour for artisan bread production is presented and a conclusion drawn...
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) were not recognized as a family of enzymes until the 1990s but are now known to be the dominant peroxidases in most organisms. Here, the history and fundamental properties of peroxiredoxins are briefly reviewed, with a special focus on describing how an exquisitely tunable balance between fully folded...
Abundance, size and development stage data for furcilia and juvenile euphausiids and data on timing and prevalence of attached spermatophores on adult females are used to infer spawning times by four euphausiid species in Frederick Sound and lower Stephens Passage, Southeast Alaska. Results from net tows conducted between late May...
Background and objectives: One hard wheat and one semi-hard wheat were milled on commercial, laboratory, and household-scale flour mills with rotating elements ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 m in diameter and speeds ranging from 65 to 40,000 rpm. The aim of the study was to assess and compare the quality...
New analyses of teleseismic body waves from moderate earthquakes in western Argentina demonstrate that active shortening of the Andean foreland occurs on reverse faults extending to 40–50 km depth. Existing crustal‐scale models of foreland deformation invoke thin‐skinned fault geometries, which root into an east‐dipping mid‐crustal décollement. Whereas thin‐skinned thrust sheets...
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013) recommend that science courses engage communities of students in scientific practices that include building accurate conceptual models of phenomena central to the understanding of scientific disciplines. We offer a set of activities, implemented successfully at both the secondary and postsecondary levels,...
The quality of macromolecular crystal structures depends, in part, on the quality and quantity of the data used to produce them. Here, we review recent shifts in our understanding of how to use data quality indicators to select a high resolution cutoff that leads to the best model, and of...
Kickback is the leading cause of the most severe and traumatic chainsaw-related injuries. As a result, safety standards require chainsaw manufacturers to produce low-kickback saw chain. In order to understand the tradeoffs in current state-of-the-art saw chain, a comparison study was conducted on a custom test apparatus using four different...
Vegetation growing on the surface of a streambank has been shown to alter the shear stresses
applied to the boundary, but basic questions remain regarding the influence of vegetation and
streambank configurations on near-bank hydraulics. In the present study, Froude-scaled flume
experiments were used to investigate how changes in vegetation...
