Many populations consist of individuals that differ substantially in their diets. Quantification of the magnitude and temporal consistency of such intraspecific diet variation is needed to understand its importance, but the extent to which different approaches for doing so reflect instantaneous vs. time-aggregated measures of individual diets may bias inferences....

This report details preliminary studies towards the development of a microfluidic
sensor that exploits ferromagnetic resonance, excited in magnetic bead labels, for signal
transduction. The device consists of a microwave circuit in which a slotline and a coplanar
waveguide are integrated with a biochemically activated sensor area. The magnetic beads...

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that...

Mountain environments are currently among the ecosystems least invaded by non-native
species; however, mountains are increasingly under threat of non-native plant invasion.
The slow pace of exotic plant invasions in mountain ecosystems is likely due to a combination
of low anthropogenic disturbances, low propagule supply, and extreme/steep environmental
gradients. The...

Late Cretaceous sedimentary marine and deltaic rocks of
Gabriola Island were mapped and studied during the summer of 1971.
Cretaceous strata constitute all the exposed outcrops on the island,
which is the northernmost of the Gulf Island chain of British Columbia.
The upper four formations of the Nanaimo Group are...

The Horsetail Creek Bridge (HCB), constructed in 1914, is located along the Historic Columbia River Highway in Oregon. The original cross beams from the HCB were substantially deficient in shear strength, particularly for the projected increase in traffic loads. One control beam and three beams with varying configurations of a...

Throughout Oregon State University, a permanent, publicly-owned art collection not only exists under the radar of most people's awareness, this collection is part of a state mandate in existence since the late 1970's and too manages to slip most people's awareness at all. It is the Percent for Art Collection,...

The amino acid acridon-2-ylalanine (Acd) can be a valuable probe of protein conformational change because it is a
long lifetime, visible wavelength fluorophore that is small enough to be incorporated during ribosomal biosynthesis. Incorporation
of Acd into proteins expressed in E. coli requires efficient chemical synthesis to produce large quantities...
