Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii is a pathogenic fungus on Douglas-fir needles which has become a serious threat to timber production in the last decade along the Oregon coast This research was undertaken to describe the general biology and pathology of F. gaeumannii on Douglas-fir needles and how environmental variables affect fungal development....
Levels of resistance to six selected insecticides of
eleven field populations of the filbert aphid Mvzocallis
coryli (Goetze) were determined by using the leaf-dip
residue technique. Test insecticides included compounds
widely used in commercial filbert orchards, namely,
carbaryl, diazinon, endosulfan, phosalone, fenvalerate and
oxydemetonmethyl. Aphid samples were collected within a...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of Sindone (isomers of 1, 1-dimethyl-diisopropyl-indanyl ethyl ketone) under field conditions and to gain information regarding the rate of detoxification of Sindone in soil. A series of trials were established in sugar beet fields in California, Oregon, and Washington. Sindone...
INTRODUCTION: Between 2004 and 2010, the number of home births in the United States rose by 41%, increasing the need for accurate assessment of the safety of planned home birth. This study examines outcomes of planned home births in the United States between 2004 and 2009.
METHODS: We calculated descriptive...

This study was undertaken to determine the sorts of polygalacturonases
present in the culture filtrate of Fusarium oxysporum
f. sp. lycopersici, to purify and characterize these enzymes, and to
study any complexes that may form between polygalacturonase and
carbohydrate not degraded by the enzyme.
The polygalacturonase in culture filtrate consists...
The Minerals Yearbook and the Census
of Minerals Industries' statistics lack detail,
completeness, and accuracy concerning stone and
sand and gravel in Oregon and are therefore
deficient in their utility. The lack of detail and
completeness causes extreme difficulty in comparing
varied field-checked statistics. The inaccuracy
of the data concerning...
Pseudomonas is a diverse, ubiquitous, and widely studied genus of bacteria. As Pseudomonas species occupy a wide range of niches in the ecosystem, they have made remarkable biological impacts. Better understanding of Pseudomonas biology, genetic diversity, and functional interactions with other organisms and the environment will provide valuable insights into...
