The sorbed gases at all four Ocean Drilling Program Leg 139 sites (855, 856, 857, and 858) showed the unmistakable presence of thermogenic hydrocarbons. No indication of abiogenic gas was found. The evidence for the thermogenic hydrocarbons includes elevated contents of higher hydrocarbons (i.e., C₁/[C₂ + C₃] ca. 2-20), δ¹³CCH₄...
The accelerated diagenesis, maturation, and catagenesis of organic matter to hydrothermal petroleum was studied in sediments from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 139 in Middle Valley, northern Juan de Fuca Ridge. Sediments at Sites 855 and 856 have experienced high heat flow resulting in accelerated diagenesis of the immature organic matter...
Koi herpesvirus (KHV) infection is associated with high mortalities in both common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio) and koi carp (Cyprinus carpio koi) worldwide. Although acute infection has been reported in both domestic and wild common carp, the status of KHV latent infection is largely unknown in wild common carp. To...
Acetaminophen has been safely used for analgesia for many years.
Literature suggests that a plasma acetaminophen level of 5μg/ml is necessary to
maintain analgesic relief in humans. Current dosing regiments are inconvenient (every
4-6 hours) and do not maintain this minimum plasma level. Simulations were
conducted to examine various doses...
A rootstock trial was established in 1997 at the OSU Woodhall vineyard, located in the Southern Willamette Valley, which included two experiments. The first experiment was a factorial of four varieties grafted on to 9 rootstocks, and also as ungrafted vines (a split-plot design). The second experiment was a randomized...
Disease control is a crucial aspect of plant breeding for researchers as well as commercial producers. After samples from OSU's tomato breeding program tested positive for Columnea latent viroid in a screen done by a private company, secondary testing was done by the USDA laboratory in Corvallis which suggested that...
Although most eastern North Pacific (ENP) gray whales feed in the Bering, Beaufort,
and Chukchi Seas during summer and fall, a small number of individuals,
referred to as the Pacific Coast Feeding Group (PCFG), show intra- and interseasonal
fidelity to feeding areas from northern California through southeastern Alaska. We
used...

Billions of pounds of bisphenol A (BPA) are produced annually around the globe for the manufacture of numerous consumer products, including polycarbonate food and water containers, the protective resin linings of food cans, thermal printing paper, and dental fillings. BPA exposure during nervous system development has been associated with learning...
