Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. To date, over 60% of current anticancer drugs were inspired by the discovery of chemical structure from nature, commonly known as a natural product. This work represents the biological characterization of several marine natural product compounds and their...
The main objective of this research was to determine the professional
in-service development needs of fourth, fifth, and sixth grade
teachers in the metropolitan school districts of Portland and Seattle.
The primary objectives for conducting this research investigation were
as follows:
1. To determine the professional in-service development needs
of...
Studies of the use of NADH as the monitored fluorophore for enzymatic fluorescence kinetic methods are discussed. Interference studies
for the detection of NADH and the adaptation and optimization of fluorescence kinetic measurements to four serum assays are also described.
A microcomputer-controlled flow injection analysis (FIA) system was
designed and...
A systematic study of highly branched isoprenoids (HBI) was carried out in
suspended particulate material (SPM) and Washington coastal sediments to determine
their origin and fate. SPM collected at 10 m depth was filtered through Nitex
membranes. C₂₅ HBI were found only in the 1.2-40 μm range over the shelf....
More than 280 species of caddisflies (Trichoptera), representing 80
genera in 16 families, are known to occur in Oregon. Detailed distribution
records within the state are given, as well as the known geographic range
for each species. Biological information, such as life cycle, habitat
preference, flight period, and larval feeding...
The trenchless technology known as pipe ramming for construction of culverts and buried pipes under roadways or other infrastructure has gained significant popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to alleviate surface disruptions associated with open-cut trenching. Although the experience with pipe ramming is increasing, there has been remarkably little...

Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...
This document contains a summary of changes in administrations and actions taken by the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission in 1974, as well as an update for the status of various fisheries.
