A growing number of scholars and policymakers are advocating for the integrated management of water, energy, and food production. The integrated water-energy-food (WEF) nexus approach suggests that systems able to capture and effectively deal with the interdependencies of such coupled systems are more likely to yield long-term sustainable outcomes. In...
Volatile compounds of eight pear varieties were isolated and identified by
GC/MS. A total of 112 components were identified from headspace of intact fruits,
including 47 compounds reported for the first time in pear. The volatile profiles of
these pear varieties were characterized by esters, alcohols, hydrocarbons, aldehydes
and ketones....
Historically, brewers have used dry-hopping (a cold extraction of nonvolatile and volatile chemicals from hops into fermenting or finished beer) to increase the microbial stability and shelf life of their beer. As hoppy beer styles have gained in popularity over the last decade (2007-2017), the objective of dry-hopping has turned...
A teacher may say, "I have twenty years of experience,"
but just what does it mean? This study suggests explanations
for the meaning of "Experience," not by looking at the number
of years in a classroom, but at what teachers did in those
years that could make the teaching experience...
A biological inventory of the butterflies of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest [HJA] in Linn/Lane County, Oregon was conducted during 1994 and 1995. It was the first comprehensive survey of HJA butterflies for the site and serves as a baseline for future butterfly research. A detailed ecological account is...
The pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and ergot alkaloids are known natural toxicants found in livestock forage. These alkaloids contribute to large economic losses in livestock throughout the world. An understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and development of better diagnostic tools for better management practices was investigated. Variability exists in the...
This is an integrated assessment across terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal marine realms. It includes the coast range of Oregon and Washington as well as Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The marine portion only includes the coastline and shallow subtidal; the next iteration will include the offshore component.
