Over recent decades, the EU aquaculture sector has been implementing actions towards the minimization of waste as a strategy for increasing the circular attributes of the management system. In this context, it is relevant to develop methodologies to quantify and assess the circularity that will ultimately be achieved by new...
Artificial reefs (AR) were created not only to protect sea bottoms (Lee et al., 2018) and enhance biodiversity namely by stimulating the enhancement of fish stocks (Pioch et al., 2020), but also to attract diving tourism (Shani et al., 2012) or sport fishing enthusiasts (Radonski et al., 2018). In order...
Nigeria with an annual potential of 2.5 million tonnes of fish from aquaculture produced only 316,727 tonnes in 2015 out of the domestic production of 1.027 million tonnes and total fish demand of 3.25 million tonnes.

Aging is a process that all living species experiences and it also is greatly to study and understand the aging process with the aim of extending human life span. Protein homeostasis is one of the main hall mark of aging. Based on previous data, it observed that cells from long...
Over half of the U.S. coastline is found in Alaska, and the majority of the state’s economic activity occurs along the coast. Increased coastal development poses a potential threat to nearshore habitats in Alaska. The installation of artificial reef (AR) systems can mitigate habitat loss; however, few AR systems have...
Increased coastal development poses a potential threat to nearshore habitats in Alaska, and artificial reefs (AR) are an increasingly popular tool for mitigating habitat loss. Although well studied in tropical and temperate locations, less is known about AR efficacy in high latitude locations. Since ARs are heavily influenced by ecological...
Biomass pretreatment-derived degradation compounds, such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF),inhibit the growth of fermentation microorganisms that utilize biomass to produce biofuels and chemicals. Here we report that manganese(III) can degrade furfural and HMF, making them less toxic to microorganisms. Treatment with manganese(III) reduced furfural and HMF concentrations in a dose-dependent...

Competition between ‘Pinot noir’ grapevines and alleyway cover crops
was evaluated in two commercial vineyards in western Oregon. Seven
cover crop treatments including a clean-cultivated control were applied
in the fall of 2003 and their impact on vines was monitored in 2004
and 2005. Competition with grapevines was assessed by...
For many years, scientists worldwide have been using glacial ice to reconstruct and study Earth’s past climates. While the most continuous records we have are from sites near both poles, there is also mid-latitude perennial ice in the form of mountain glaciers and cave ice. Very little is known about...
In 2012, the Oregon State University (OSU) Libraries Center for Digital Scholarship and Services utilized existing staff and librarian positions to energize OSU’s efforts at building a strong open access collection of scholarly articles by OSU authors. Members of the team begin tracking, requesting, and archiving articles published from 2012...
Recreational fisheries in China underwent rapidly expanding in recent years, and became new sources of economic growth.

This work prepared YInMnO3, YCuTiO3, and YInFeO3 solid state pigments via microwave synthesis. The microwave-prepared pigments contain optical and structural properties similar to their furnace homologues. Overall synthesis times for each pigment have been significantly reduced via microwave synthesis, while keeping the same relative phase purity as solid-state.
Previous studies have shown that both younger and older adults exhibit similar brain activity while anticipating monetary gain but older adults exhibit less brain activity comparing to younger adults while anticipating monetary loss. In Anderson et al.’s (2011) study, they found that visual search was slower with a salient, task-irrelevant...
Our responses are faster when the response key location is compatible with target location than when it is incompatible, even when target location was irrelevant to the task (the Simon effect). This effect is observed even when two people shared the task (e.g., one pressing the left key and the...
"Red-sided garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis, from Manitoba, Canada are known to be hosts to trematodes, Alaria sp., in their population. Alaria sp. have been located in the tail tissue of the snakes. The non-reproductive stage of these obligate endoparasites, known as a mesocercaria, is trophically acquired by garter snakes....
Red clover (Trifolium pratense) seed yields in Oregon are significantly reduced by the Clover Root Borer (CRB), Hylastinus obscurus. Since the CRB develops in clover roots and only emerges above ground briefly to mate and disperse, insecticides are ineffective for its control. In contrast, biological control may have potential as...
