The use of Native American fire regimes evolved in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion over millennia.

This research incorporates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to partially examine the role of tribal...
Imazamox-resistant wheat (Clearfield®) cultivars carry the Imi1 gene, which confers resistance to the imidazolinone (IMI) herbicide imazamox. Imazamox provides selective control of jointed goatgrass and other weeds in IMI-resistant wheat. Imi1 gene flow between IMI-resistant wheat and jointed goatgrass may occur via hybridization and backcross events. In 2009 and 2010,...
Training of woodsworkers is described as important for the logging industry in
Oregon. There has been little documentation of training gains or research that measures
the effects of training from the perspective of the logging firm. Learning theories are
evaluated and Towill's form of learning curves are selected for an...
Human development researchers consider adolescence a rich time for interest development and identity exploration. A relatively new movement in the Free-Choice Learning (FCL) arena, the Maker movement, offers learners interest-driven, experiential, often collaborative, and process-oriented activities ranging from game design (computer-based and otherwise) and robotics, to sewing LEDs into clothing...
