Water conservation in nursery systems is an ever-increasing focus, yet there is relatively little guidance for growers producing seedlings intended for restoration regarding how practices such as subirrigation influence plant growth in the nursery and after outplanting. Our study investigated red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum Pursh) seedling development and early field...
Geostatistical methods were used to find efficient and accurate means for
salinity assessment using regionalized random variables and limited sampling. The
random variables selected, sodium absorption ratio (SAR), electrical conductivity
(EC), and clay content were measured on samples taken over an area of fifteen
square miles. Ordinary kriging and co-kriging...
ICES – the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea – was founded more than a century ago out of
concern for overfishing. However, today’s global marine ecosystems are for the most part in a degraded state, many
alarmingly so. Why is the science used so little to make...
Classical chaotic scattering experiments were performed on ten different four hill potentials, unique under x-axis reflection, given by: V(x,y) = x²y²e⁻⁽ˣ² ⁺ ʸ²⁾ σᵢ where σᵢ was ±1 depending upon quadrant. Our work was based on a paper (9) that only studied the case where σᵢ =1 in all quadrants....
The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PTBR) of trout brain was
pharmacologically characterized and pyrethroid interaction with this site
investigated. High-affinity binding sites for [³H]PK 11195 were detected in brain
membranes of rainbow trout; these shared some of the characteristics of the
PTBR of rodent brain (i.e., high affinity for PK 11195...

Fast fashion is a term used to describe trendy apparel created with a short cycle time and planned obsolescence. Consumers view such items as disposable due to poor garment quality and low price points. Although consumers are aware of the environmental impact of apparel consumption, the popularity of fast fashion...
The Chloroflexi CL500-11 clade contributes a large proportion of the bacterial biomass in the oxygenated hypolimnia of deep lakes worldwide, including the world's largest freshwater system, the Laurentian Great Lakes. Traits that allow CL500-11 to thrive and its biogeochemical role in these environments are currently unknown. Here, we found that...

Biotic and abiotic processes at continent-ocean interfaces cycle a disproportionate mass of carbon and nutrients relative to their global surface area, and microbial activity is a principal determinant of organic and inorganic matter flux in these transition zones. Most studies using modern high-throughput ‘omics techniques to link microorganisms with costal...
Liquid cooled, laminar microchannel heat sinks were
earlier proposed by Tuckerman for cooling high heat
generating integrated circuits and high power microwave
generation systems using photoconductive switches. A
method of computationally analyzing the heat sinks is
presented which produces the desired temperature and
velocity distributions within the heat sinks. The...
The Oregon State University TRIGA® Reactor (OSTR) has a number of irradiation
facilities providing a wide range of neutron energies and fluxes. These facilities include a
pneumatic transfer tube, a rotating rack, a thermal column, four beam ports, in-core irradiation
tubes, a clyogenic gas transfer system and a large vault...
Haiti has suffered great losses from deforestation, with little forest cover remaining today. Current reforestation efforts focus on seedling quantity rather than quality. This study examined limitations to the production of high-quality seedlings of the endemic Hispaniolan pine (Pinus occidentalis Swartz). Recognizing the importance of applying sustainable development principles to...
In the highly alkaline environment of concrete, carbon steel rebar is protected against corrosion by a passive oxide/oxyhydroxide film. Understanding the characteristics of this passive film, and how it depassivates, is the key for mitigating problems associated with steel corrosion in concrete. Although a large number of electrochemical and analytical...
