To describe the life histories and demography of a fluvial population of Bull Trout Salvelinus confluentus, we PIT-tagged and radio-tagged Bull Trout captured in Mill Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River (Washington–Oregon), during 1998–2009. Adult abundance declined 63% during 2006–2010, driven primarily by a 10-fold reduction in subadult-to-adult...
This work develops the loads, boundary conditions, and model construction techniques used to create a high-level vehicle analysis model. The loads are derived from the overall performance parameters of the vehicle, which include 3 axis accelerations and aerodynamic forces from Computational Fluid Dynamics outputs. The boundary condition of the analysis...
How might capabilities for algorithm animation be seamlessly integrated into a programming language that is both visual and declarative? Until now, visual programming language researchers have not attempted to answer that question, making the fruits of algorithm animation available only to users of textual programming languages.

Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus Heller) is a federally listed threatened species native to remnant grassland of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, and is the primary larval host plant of a once thought extinct butterfly, Plebejus icarioides fenderi Macy. Past studies concerning Kincaid's lupine reproduction
suggested that populations may suffer reductions...
A partnership project of the Bangladesh Department of Fisheries, five NGOs and ICLARM has introduced community management of inland fisheries in Bangladesh.

Recently generalized Fibonacci numbers have received increasing attention. Some properties that are well known for traditional Fibonacci numbers do not generalize easily, some others do not generalize at all. In this paper we report some properties that we have generalized.

We investigate several methods of computing Fibonacci numbers quickly and generalize some properties of the Fibonacci numbers to degree r Fibonacci (R-nacci) numbers. Sections 2 and 3 present several algorithms for computing the traditional, degree two, Fibonacci numbers quickly. Sections 4 and 5 investigate the structure of the binary representation...
Phytophthora species were systematically sampled, isolated, identified and compared for presence in streams, soil and roots of alder (Alnus species) dominated riparian ecosystems in western Oregon. We describe the species assemblage and evaluate Phytophthora diversity associated with alder. We recovered 1250 isolates of 20 Phytophthora species. Only three species were...
Through a phylogenetic study Using LECCYCIA nucleotide sequences and a survey of historical Botanical literature, we propose clarifications in the nomenclature of Lupinus oreganus and Lupinus biddlei.

Introduction: People whose faces look untrustworthy tend to receive harsher social evaluations, including more severe criminal sentences. Yet little is known about how much facial trustworthiness reflects individuals’ behavioral histories. We examined whether adolescent histories of delinquency and substance use predict strangers’ perceptions of young men’s facial trustworthiness. Methods: Boys...
It is difficult to relate intrinsic nanomaterial properties to their functional behavior in the environment. Unlike frameworks for dissolved organic chemicals, there are few frameworks comparing multiple and inter-related properties of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) to their fate, exposure, and hazard in environmental systems. We developed and evaluated reproducibility and inter-correlation...

Current paradigm suggests that spatial and temporal competition for resources limit an exotic invader, cheatgrass (Bromus

The non-contacting, non-destructive THz...
Peppermint was introduced into central Oregon in 1955. (The acreage devoted to this crop has been steadily expanding.) Additional experiments are needed on this crop to determine the effects of fertilizer placement and time of application.
Irrigated pastures are usually composed of a mixture of improved grasses and legumes. Maintaining a proper balance between grasses and legumes is essential to obtain maximum production.
Management is the key to production from irrigated pastures. Proper management of livestock and irrigation water can materially increase pasture production.
High seroprevalance for Brucella abortus among elk on Wyoming feedgrounds suggests that supplemental feeding may influence parasite transmission and disease dynamics by altering the rate at which elk contact infectious materials in their environment.
