Research into consumer behavior, especially the family of research related to consumer culture theory, provides theory on which cultural phenomena motivate consumers to exhibit the patterns they do in the marketplace. This study uses...
Tolerance of adult zebrafish and efficacy of emamectin benzoate and ivermectin in eliminating Pseudocapillaria tomentosa infection were evaluated. In the tolerance study, behavioral changes, fecundity, histopathology, and mortality were evaluated for in-feed administration of emamectin (0.05, 0.10, and 0.25 mg/kg) and ivermectin (0.05 and 0.10 mg/kg). All doses of emamectin...

The concentration of dissolved molybdenum has been determined in several profiles from the Northeast Pacific Ocean. The salinity-normalized concentration is essentially constant in all open-ocean samples (107 nM, lσ = 2.5 nM). The dissolved distribution is not significantly affected by biological cycling.
Physical, optical, and acoustical data from Monterey Bay, California, USA, describing the distributions of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and small fish as well as gradients in the physical habitat were used to examine the interactions between vertically compressed plankton structures (thin layers), their consumers, and the local physical forces they experience. The...

Rights-based approaches are potentially promising tools to meet conservation objectives in natural resource management. Here, we evaluated how population status and fishery production respond to catch shares, a rights-based policy instrument in fisheries whereby participants are granted a right to harvest a fraction of the allowable catch. By analyzing time...
Home gardens produce the best yields when planted with vegetable varieties adapted to local growing conditions. These variety trials may assist market growers and home gardeners in choosing adapted varieties, based on qualities
that are important to them (such as appearance, earliness, flavor, yield, and disease resistance).
This publication is a compilation of vegetable variety trial notes from field trials conducted in summer 2010. It contains information on a wide variety of vegetables and focuses on quality characteristics and adaptability to western Oregon.

intervals, from 4 minutes after insemination to the second cleavage.
These versene pulses produced specific degrees of retardation in
the mitotic process and delayed...

Green bean flavor has been studied since the 1960’s to better understand Blue Lake flavor in processed green beans in Oregon. Research by Stevens and colleagues showed that Blue Lake flavor could be reconstituted in a bland bean by adding 0.4ppm of 1-octen-3-ol and 1.6ppm of 3-hexen-1-ol. These two volatile...
Strip tillage is a form of conservation tillage that involves tilling
narrow strips for crop establishment while leaving areas between the strips with undisturbed crop residue. Strip tillage can reduce soil erosion and soil compaction, as well as machinery, fuel, and labor costs. Combined with winter cover crops, strip tillage...
