Classic biological control can be a powerful option for those tasked with managing biological invasions; however, some biocontrol releases lead to non-target attack – feeding, damage or development on species other than the target species. The cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) was introduced to Western Oregon as a...
Currently little is known about the mechanisms and locations of
lymphocyte development in teleosts. In this study several aspects of the
underlying factors which govern B lymphocyte development in trout
were investigated which included: the isolation and characterization of
immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) genes, the recombination activating
genes 1 and...
As the number of international students continues to increase on campuses throughout the world, many institutions are turning to pathway programs (college preparation programs) to ensure that these students are able to successfully transition into the host culture and campus environment (Andrade, 2006; Dooey, 2010; Hanover Research, 2010; Perez-Pena, 2014,...

Magnetically Assisted Fluidized Bed (MAFB) is a novel technology where an external magnetic field with constant gradient interacts with magnetically susceptible particles. The linear magnetic field creates two type of forces: external and interparticle magnetic forces. A theoretical mathematical model based on the interaction of ideal dipoles is proposed to...
Several aspects of cattle grazing behavior and distribution
were studied on mountain rangeland dominated by ponderosa pine-
Douglas fir, mixed conifer, and white fir forest communities in
northeastern Oregon.
The association between upland distribution, determined by
forage utilization and by direct cattle observation, and several
habitat factors was studied through...
Machine learning models for natural language processing have traditionally relied on large numbers of discrete features, built up from atomic categories such as word forms and part-of-speech labels, which are considered completely distinct from each other. Recently however, the advent of dense feature representations coupled with deep learning techniques has...
Engineers, in practice, are often faced with the challenge of evaluating a fire-damaged structure and developing a rehabilitation and retrofit plan. In order to decide on a rehabilitation and retrofit plan, information on thermal degradation of building materials and connections are vital. A critical knowledge gap exists in terms of...
If fisheries managers are to effectively manage commercially exploited fish populations, a basic understanding of the factors that influence fish distribution and abundance is required. In 2005, efforts to identify Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for the 82 groundfish species managed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council along the West Coast...
The study critically analyzes the implication of various agricultural
development policies on urban unemployment and income distribution.
More specifically it focuses on the evaluation of agricultural
policies at the macro-economic Level in the Nigerian economy.
A system science and simulation approach is used to build and
test a ten sector...
