Background:
Early childcare and education (ECE) is a prime setting for obesity prevention and the establishment of healthy behaviors. The objective of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the efficacy of the Active Early guide, which includes evidenced-based approaches, provider resources, and training, to improve physical activity opportunities through structured...
Bacterial mutualists can modulate the biochemical capacity of animals. Highly coevolved nutritional mutualists do this by synthesizing nutrients missing from the host’s diet. Genomics tools have advanced the study of these partnerships. Here we examined the endosymbiont Xiphinematobacter (phylum Verrucomicrobia) from the dagger nematode Xiphinema americanum, a migratory ectoparasite of...
This study represents a novel approach for intraoperative ovarian cancer treatment based on the combinatorial effect of a targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated with suppression of the DJ-1 protein, one of the key players in the ROS defense of cancer cells. To assess the potential of the developed therapy, dendrimer-based...
Typhlodromus pyri (T. pyri) is a beneficial insect and key predator of Calepitrimerus vitis (C. vitis) in Pacific Coast vineyards. C. vitis is closely associated with short-shoot syndrome. The impact of horticultural (paraffinic) oils and sulfur on T. pyri is presented here. This publication contributes to integrated pest management and...
Vibrio vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus in the estuarine-marine environment are of human health significance and may be increasing in pathogenicity and abundance. Vibrio illness originating from dermal contact with Vibrio laden waters or through ingestion of seafood originating from such waters can cause deleterious health effects, particularly if the strains...
Anthropogenic impacts are increasingly affecting the world’s oceans. Networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) provide an
option for increasing the ecological and economic benefits often provided by single MPAs. It is vital to empirically assess the
effects of MPA networks and to prioritize the monitoring data necessary to explain those...
One of the most significant challenges faced by hydrogeologic modelers is the disparity between the spatial and temporal scales at which fundamental flow, transport, and reaction processes can best be understood and quantified (e.g., microscopic to pore scales and seconds to days) and at which practical model predictions are needed...

This pest management guide is developed for use by vineyard managers in Oregon. It provides recommendations for chemicals, formulations, and usage rates of products that are intended to prevent, manage, and control vineyard diseases, insects, mites, weeds, and vertebrate pests. When selecting a pesticide, consider its efficacy and its impact...
