This dissertation focuses on the application of diatom frustules, the biosilica shell of an algae possessing physical and photonic properties capable of enhancing optical signals, for the enhancement of optical sensing. In this work, we incorporate diatom frustules into biosensors for signal enhancement and improved target molecule detection. The potential...
This paper describes a technique for separating the
two signal voltages which are necessary for balancing an
ac impedance bridge from its detector output voltage.
The technique is unique in that the necessary information
is derived from modulations on the generator voltage.
These modulations are formed by perturbing the variable...
In this work, the four yeast inner histones were prepared by the
use of consecutive slab gel fractionation. The use of this technique
allowed the first complete fractionation and rigorous identification of
the four yeast inner histones, and made possible a study of their
complexing behavior.
Variants and adjuncts of...
When economic growth is desired in a community, the community's officials often try to
attract a manufacturing company. The community's officials' desires often compliment desires of a manufacturing company's officials to find a new location to operate their business. The officials of Culver, Oregon undertook activities to try to attract...
Cyclopropenoid fatty acids cause several physiological disorders
in rainbow trout and rats. Rainbow trout appear to be more sensitive
than rats to the effects of cyclopropenoid fatty acids. Carbon-14
labeled sterculic acid with label in the methylene position of the
cyclopropene ring was injected into the stomach of rats and...
Benthic chamber measurements of the reactants and products involved with biogenic matter diagenesis (oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, silicate, phosphate, TCO₂, alkalinity) were used to define fluxes of these solutes into and out of the sediments off southern and central California. Onshore to offshore transects indicate many similarities in benthic fluxes between...
This report is an update of shellfish investigations from January 1-December 31, 1953. It includes a summary of bay clam and oyster investigations, including details on attempted pest control and control of algae on oyster beds. It also contains results of the 1953 Tillamook Bay Clam Survey, and discusses clam...
In the existing 276 international river basins, the increase in water variability projected by most climate change scenarios may present serious challenges to riparian states.This research maps the institutional resilience to water variability in transboundary basins and combines it with both historic and projected variability regimes, with the objective of...

Submarine volcanic eruptions and intrusions construct new oceanic crust and build long chains of volcanic islands and vast submarine plateaus. Magmatic events are a primary agent for the transfer of heat, chemicals, and even microbes from the crust to the ocean, but the processes that control these transfers are poorly...
This fact sheet has been prepared in response to many questions from seafood retailers about parasites in fish products. Customers who find parasites in fish they purchase need to have good answers for some obvious questions.
Your customers need to understand two key points: First, parasites are a natural occurrence....
