The miniaturization of Microtechnology-based Energy, Chemical and Biological Systems (MECS) is made possible by the use of high aspect ratio microchannel arrays to increase the surface-area-to-volume ratio of the flow conduits within the devices, resulting in an improvement in the heat and mass transfer performance of the devices. However, advantages...
Effects of thermal and electron beam (e-beam) processing on microbial inactivation and physichochemical properties of surimi and surimi seafood were investigated. Thermal-death-time (TDT) concept was used to model Staphylococcus aureus inactivation by heat and e-beam. Gurney-Lurie charts were used to estimate temperature during thermal processing of surimi seafood. Dose mapping...
Water temperature influenced interactions between redside
shiners and juvenile steelhead trout (≥1+) in the field and the
laboratory. Distribution of the two species within various habitats
was determined in three streams with different water temperature
regimes. The range of habitats occupied by trout in allopatry at
cool temperatures and at...
The recent colonization of Oregon by an exotic, intentionally introduced coccinellid, Harmonia axyridis, was the basis for lab and field research into lady
beetle developmental biology and community composition. Harmonia axyridis was the dominant coccinellid in an arboreal habitat, and comprised over 70% of all lady beetles, and 82% of...
