Many western river systems have become degraded or incised over time due to grazing, agriculture, impoundments, and extermination of beaver. Restoration efforts are looking to more natural solutions aimed at reconnecting streams to their original floodplain. Beavers were the original ecosystem engineers in Northwest America. They built dams, which held...
The notion of individual transferable quotas (ITQs) has permeated the fisheries economics literature over the last 40 years. The most long-standing prediction about ITQs has been extensively documented, namely that transferable property rights to harvest induce changes along the extensive margin via consolidation of quota among a smaller number of...
Marine debris is a growing problem that harms the environment and the economy. Its impacts range from impeding navigation to entangling wildlife and fouling beaches. Research helps explore this issue, bridges knowledge gaps, and supports prevention and reduction efforts.
In the recently-released Oregon Marine Debris Action Plan (OR MDAP), local...
Greater scientific knowledge, changing societal values, and legislative mandates have emphasized the importance
of implementing large-scale flow experiments (FEs) downstream of dams. We provide the first global assessment
of FEs to evaluate their success in advancing science and informing management decisions. Systematic
review of 113 FEs across 20 countries revealed...
Multispecies fisheries add additional complexity for rights-based management implementation. Imperfectly selective fishing gear may make it difficult for fishermen to match their catch composition with the portfolio of total allowable catches chosen by management. If fishermen can perfectly target their catch, the problem of matching catches with quota allocations declines...
Aim: There is growing interest in pharmacologic ascorbate (Asc) and its therapeutic properties (Levine et al. Adv Nutr 2011;2:78). W e examined cell viability, histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression, and related protein modifications in cancer versus non- cancer colon epithelial cells following exposure to Asc.
Methods: MTT assays were conducted in...
Cognitive and other neural processes emerge from the interactions be- tween neurons. Major advances have been made in studying networks in which the interac- fions occur instantaneously by means ofgraded synapses (Guckenheimer and Rowat, I 997). In other networks, the interaction between neurons involves time-delayed signals (action potentials or spikes)...
The application was prepared for the Port of Newport by Pacific Habitat Services and John van Staveren. It was submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers - Portland in May 2010.
