This publication includes tables that summarize characteristics of the main hazelnut varieties produced in the United States, lists varieties' susceptibility to eastern filbert blight, and shows varieties' compatibility with each other for pollination.
In many regions of the world, forest management has shifted from practices emphasizing timber production to more sustainable harvesting that integrates ecological values, including maintenance of biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and ecological goods and services. To this end, management strategies emphasize retention of stand structures that meet the needs of forest-obligate...
Two species of salmonids were tested for their susceptibility to infection by a rickettsia isolated in cell culture from diseased coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in Chile. Mortality approached 100% in coho and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar injected with 10-fold dilutions of cell culture medium containing the rickettsia. Typical disease signs...
‘Sacajawea’ (OSU 540.130) was developed and evaluated at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, and was released in February 2006. Compared to ‘Barcelona,’ ‘Sacajawea’ is a slightly smaller tree but has a higher yield efficiency, a higher percent kernel, fewer kernel defects, and smaller nuts. Nuts mature and fall free of...
'Santiamʼ (OSU 509.064) was developed and evaluated at Oregon State
University, Corvallis, Oregon, and it was released in February 2005. This cultivar has complete resistance to eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Resistance is conferred by a single dominant gene from ʻGasaway.ʼ Compared to ʻBarcelona,...
Global Positioning System vectors and surface
tilt rates are inverted simultaneously for the rotation of western
Oregon and plate locking on the southern Cascadia subduction
thrust fault. Plate locking appears to be largely
offshore, consistent with earlier studies, and is sufficient to
allow occasional great earthquakes inferred from geology.
Clockwise...
Seasonal cycles of coastal wind stress, adjusted sea level (ASL), shelf currents, and water
temperatures off the west coast of North America (35°N to 48°N) are estimated by fitting annual and
semiannual harmonics to data from 1981-1983. Longer records (9-34 years) of monthly ASL indicate
that these two harmonics adequately...

A summary of moored instrument measurements over the continental
shelf of Peru is presented. Measurements of variables were made in an
upwelling zone between Pisco and San Juan, from 28 March to 9 April, 1969.
Time series of temperature and horizontal current and wind velocities were
obtained at several depths...
