A publication containing advice on a wide range of gardening topics, including composting, container gardens, fall/winter gardens, fertilizing, insect pests, plant diseases, planting guidelines, raised beds, site selection, slugs, soil improvement, tilling, warm-season crops, watering, and weeds. Includes regional tips for various parts of Oregon.
The recent increase in awareness of the seismic hazards in Oregon has led to a concern regarding the safety of Oregon State University buildings. While the decision has been made to initiate the seismic rehabilitation of campus facilities, the question of which buildings pose the greatest hazards, and are therefore...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Steven R. Trautwein for the degree
The differentiation of precursor cells into mature adipocytes (adipogenesis) has been an area of increased focus, spurred by a rise in obesity rates. Though our understanding of adipogenesis and its regulation at the cellular level is growing, many questions remain, especially regarding the regulation of the metabolome. The 3T3-L1 cell...

The oldest rocks of the Sturgill Peak area are herein named the
grassy slope phyllites, and are of Permian (?) age. They are
divided into a phyllitic member, consisting of complexly folded and
highly sheared phyllites and phyllitic cherts, and a limestone member,
containing sheared limestone, silicified limestone, and chert....

Larval supply determines year-class strength of fisheries and complex ecological
interactions among adults of benthic marine species. In upwelling regions, a latitudinal cline in
the intensity and persistence of upwelling is thought to affect larval advection and recruitment,
thereby regulating the intensity of interactions in adult populations and communities. We...

Trees from temperate latitudes transition between growth and dormancy to survive dehydration and freezing stress during winter months. We employed activation tagging to isolate a dominant mutation affecting release from dormancy, and identified the corresponding gene EARLY BUD-BREAK 1 (EBB1). We demonstrate through positioning of the tag, expression analysis, and...

Active-sampling approaches are commonly used for
personal monitoring, but are limited by energy usage and data that may
not represent an individual’s exposure or bioavailable concentrations.
Current passive techniques often involve extensive preparation, or are
developed for only a small number of targeted compounds. In this work,
we present a...

The seed oil of meadowfoam, a new crop in the Limnanthaceae family, is highly enriched in very long chain fatty acids that are desaturated at the Δ5 position. The unusual oil is desirable for cosmetics and innovative industrial applications and the seed meal remaining after oil extraction contains glucolimnanthin, a...

This paper examines albedo perturbation and radiative forcing after a high-severity fire in a
mature forest in the Oregon Cascade Range. Correlations between postfire albedo and seedling, sapling,
and snag (standing dead tree) density were investigated across fire severity classes and seasons for years
4-15 after fire. Albedo perturbation was...

Western Cascades. In the area are volcaniclastic rocks and lava flows
that range in composition from basaltic andesite to dacite. The dominant
volcaniclastic rock type is thin intracanyon ash-flow tuff. The
dominant lava flows are a thick sequence of...

faunal content with emphasis on the paleoecology and taxonomy
of the fauna. Atrypella is believed to have lived with
its beaks embedded in the muddy substrate of a somewhat
restricted environment. Intermittent, low...
