As the Chief of the Environmental Sciences Section of BOEM, the speaker welcomed participants and gave background on the topic from the federal perspective. She identified BOEM's need to share environmental research information as well as determine the largest data gaps to guide future research. From her perspective, the intent...
The Chief of the Environmental Sciences Section of BOEM presented the federal perspective that focused on identifying and addressing data gaps. The manager of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Marine Resource Program and the Marine Affairs Coordinator for the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development acknowledged the...
Development of wave and offshore wind-based marine renewable energy is anticipated on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) off Oregon and much of the Pacific Northwest in the coming decade. Multiple issues related to environmental considerations and information needs remain for these emerging industries. The Oregon Marine Renewable Energy Environmental Science...
There is an underrepresentation of minority groups and women in the field of mathematics. With growing interest in equity and inclusion within the mathematics education community, it is important to look at how such concepts can be implemented in the classroom. Equitable and inclusive teaching practices have been shown to...
In three separate trials rats were fed either a basal diet deficient
in selenium and vitamin E or the same diet supplemented with
one or both of these factors. In addition to these treatments in two
of the trials, ethoxyquin was included to provide adequate lipid antioxidant
protection and to...
Background: Some groups of breast cancer survivors bear a greater burden of diminished quality of life than others. Self-identified lesbians, or women who partner with other women in romantic and spousal relationships, are one group of women that has been hypothesized to experience and report poorer quality of life compared...
BACKGROUND: Increasing emphasis in performance-based payment, public reporting, and quality improvement
(QI) has led to widespread interest in measuring and improving the quality of care. By 2014, hospice programs
will be required to report quality data to the federal government or incur financial penalties. With this increased
interest in quality...
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...
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) originate from both natural and anthropogenic sources. In the sea, natural sources include the Earth’s magnetic field, sea and tidal currents traveling through that field, and various processes within organisms. Electricity moving along cables and various other devices (as a part of renewable offshore energy development) produces...
The production records used were all converted to a comparable
based, 305 day lactation period, two times a day milking, and
mature equivalent (305 days-2-x-ME) of 71 cows from four Holstein
bulls and 59 cows from four Jersey bulls were used for the study.
The Equal Parent Index, Regression Index...
The effects of early season and late season drought stress on
various carbohydrates, calcium and/or nitrogen content at apical,
central and basal tuber locations were studied for Russet Burbank
and A082260-8 potatoes. Drought stress which occurred early in the
stage of tuber development appeared to have more detrimental effect
than...
DNA fragments of the gene for VP2, the major capsid protein of Infectious
Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV), were expressed in Escherichia coli and
characterized immunologically with antisera made to different serotypes of
IPNV. The entire VP2 gene was excised from the plasmid pUC19/A+SΔK and
fragmented with restriction enzyme Sau3A1. The...
Molecular biological approaches were used to study and interfere with the life
cycle of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). These included the control
of IHN disease in rainbow trout by genetic immunization or interference in vitro by
synthesis of sense and antisense expression of the viral nucleocapsid (N) gene, and...
