This work explores the electric field induced strain mechanisms in environmentally benign Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based piezoelectric thin films. Although BNT-based materials show promise as replacements for toxic Pb-based piezoelectrics, the displacement mechanisms are not consistent between thin films and bulk materials, and the differences have yet to be well understood....
Optimized processing conditions for
Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si templating electrodes were investigated. These
electrodes are used to obtain [111] textured thin film lead
zirconate titanate (Pb[ZrₓTi₁₋ₓ]O₃ 0≤x≤1) (PZT). Titanium
deposited by dc magnetron sputtering yields [0001] texture on a
thermally oxidized Si wafer. It was found that by optimizing
deposition time, pressure, power,...

Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion. These high figures demonstrate the need for bioassays that display a rapid and...
Factors influencing soil organic matter (SOM) stabilization and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content in complex terrain, where vegetation, climate, and topography vary over the scale of a few meters, are not well understood. We examined the spatial correlations of lidar and geographic information system-derived landscape topography, empirically measured soil characteristics,...
A method is introduced and applied to analyse changed in productivity of firms harvesting in a multi-species fishery. The index-number technique decomposes firm profits into its contributions and can be used to assess economic performance by both regulators and individual firms across an industry and over time. Using an unbalanced...
A fluorescent dye tracer was injected into the
pycnocline on the Oregon shelf at a depth of 9–10 m. It
spread rapidly cross-shelf as two distinct layers, one above
the other in the water column, split by interleaving dye-free
water. The vertical scale of these layers, and associated
density steps,...
Observations, from the Oregon continental shelf, describe the slumping of a coastal
upwelling front in response to a reversal of winds from upwelling-to downwelling-favorable.
Initially, the front outcropped in a surface mixed layer of depth 10–20 m with a
pronounced cross-shelf density gradient. Following wind reversal, both the unbalanced
cross-shelf...
Variation in regional population trends for mallards breeding in the western United States indicates that additional research into factors that influence demographics could contribute to management and understanding the population demographics of mallards across North America. We estimated breeding incidence and adult female, nest, and brood survival in eastern Washington...
INTRODUCTION: Tissue engineering is a new methodology for addressing meniscal
injury or loss. Synovium may be an ideal source of cells for in vitro meniscal fibrocartilage
formation, however, favorable in vitro culture conditions for synovium must be
established in order to achieve this goal. The objective of this study was...
A recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population developed from a cross between winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
cultivars Coda and Brundage was evaluated for reaction to stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici). Two
hundred and sixty eight RIL from the population were evaluated in replicated field trials...

In endurance-trained men, an acute bout of exercise is shown to suppress post-exercise appetite, yet limited research has examined this response in women. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise intensity on appetite and gut hormone responses in endurance-trained women. Highly-trained women (n = 15,...

This study was conducted using response surface methodology to predict fluid loss from injected beef strip steaks as influenced by levels of salt and sodium phosphates (SP) in the injection brine. Also, a beef-based dehydrated beef protein (DBP) water binding ingredient was evaluated. Paired U.S. select beef strip loins were...
The seismicity of the North Atlantic was monitored from May 2002 to September 2003 by the ‘SIRENA array’ of autonomous hydrophones. The hydroacoustic signals provide a unique data set documenting numerous low-magnitude earthquakes along the section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) located in a ridge-hot spot interaction context. During the...
Background: Little is known about the potential of Brachypodium distachyon as a model for low temperature stress
responses in Pooideae. The ice recrystallization inhibition protein (IRIP) genes, fructosyltransferase (FST) genes, and
many C-repeat binding factor (CBF) genes are Pooideae specific and important in low temperature responses. Here
we used comparative...
