Previous investigations of glacier dynamics at Tioga Pass during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) have produced different conclusions. A map of the LGM ice extent and flow direction (Alpha et al., 1987) illustrates a south-to-north direction of ice flow across the pass with little evidence to support this inference. Since...

New detrital mica ages from the Umpqua Group of the Oregon Coast Range provide constraints on models of Eocene sedimentation. Based on sandstone petrography, previous studies assert that the Klamath Mountains to the south are the most likely source region for Umpqua Group sedimentary provenance. However, the presence of Late...
As laws regarding medical and recreational cannabis use are changing across the United States, one must begin to understand the effects among individuals with chronic pain.

Purpose: We reviewed large-budget, National Institutes of Health (NIH)-supported randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with behavioral interventions to assess (1) publication rates, (2) trial registration, (3) use of objective measures, (4) significant behavior and physiological change, and (5) effect sizes.
Methods: We identified large-budget grants (>$500,000/year) funded by NIH (National Heart...
