The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy. Above all, William Appleman Williams is a teacher. And good teachers are disappointed with conformity. No one would ever come...
This report discusses major characteristics of western Oregon’s lowland rivers, streams, and estuaries that the IMST finds to be important to wild salmonids. IMST describes how landscape scale factors (landscape structure, landscape function, disturbance regimes, and landscape scale biological processes) historically supported salmonid populations in western Oregon lowlands. The report...
A large number of river otter (Lontra canadensis) males were collected
from areas of high and low contaminant concentrations throughout western
Oregon and Washington during the fall and winter of 1994-99. Few significant
non-reproductive organ morphometric differences were found in the large series
of male otters collected, except for adrenal...

Calcium alginate gels are widely used in the biotechnology, food, and pharmaceutical industries for cell immobilization, food additives, and controlling the release of therapeutic agents. Different gelation conditions can lead to different gel structures which affects the diffusion of solutes in gels, thus mathematical models were developed to describe diffusion...
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are responsible for approximately $17 billion in crop production per year in the United States, and are arguably the most important pollinators in the nation. The future of crop pollination and production is threatened by widespread national honey bee colony losses, which have averaged approximately 30%...
The primary goal of this study is to assess the impact of a subduction component
added to the mantle wedge beneath the Oregon Cascades to the composition and fO2 of
primitive Cascade basalts. Olivine-hosted melt inclusions from compositionally diverse
basalts across the Cascade arc (~100 km) are utilized in an...
