Initially reported in California as the causal agent of sudden oak death (SOD), efforts to limit spread of Phytophthora ramorum in Oregon natural forests have concentrated on quarantine regulations and eradication of the pathogen from infested areas. P. ramorum has four clonal lineages: NA1; NA2; EU1; and EU2 (Grünwald et...
The in vitro effects of cortisol in regulating salmonid B cell functions were
investigated. B cells at three distinct stages of differentiation were examined for
cortisol sensitivity. B lymphocyte responses were examined 1) during the early stage
of the precursor, 2) during the intermediate stage of differentiation associated with
clonal...
Anchors resistant to tensile loads are commonly used in civil engineering practice. Anchors in the marine environment are most frequently used for the mooring of vessels. Only recently, with the expansion of the offshore industry, has the need to develop more reliable anchor systems become necessary. Embedded plate anchors are...
A study was made of the possibility of producing pulp of viscose rayon grade from three Chilean hardwoods, coigue, tepa, and ulmo. Unbleached pulps were made from the three woods by (1) the neutral sulfite semichemical process with and without steam prehydrolysis, (2) a water prehydrolysis-sulfate process, and (3) the...

Dramatic declines of the native northeast Pacific mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis over the last three decades have occurred in response to intense infestations by the Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, that was introduced in the 1980s. We report herein the arrival of the Asian mud shrimp, Upogebia major, in...
Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is a commercial oilseed annual crop
grown in Oregon. After extracting oil from seed, the remaining seed
meal is rich in the secondary plant metabolite glucolimnanthin, which
can be converted into pesticidal compounds such as 3-methoxybenzyl
isothiocyanate (ITC) and 3-methoxyphenylacetonitrile (nitrile) in the
presence of the enzyme...
Opossum shrimp Mysis relicta were collected in Upper Waterton Lake, Alberta, Canada, in the summer of 1966 for the second successive year. Approximately 650,000 were collected and introduced into Waldo, Wallowa, Big Cultus, Crescent, and Timothy Lakes in Oregon.
Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba L.) is a herbaceous winter spring annual grown as a commercial oilseed crop. The meal remaining after oil extraction from the seed contains up to 4% of the glucosinolate glucolimnanthin. Degradation of glucolimnanthin yields toxic breakdown products, and therefore the meal may have potential in the management...
The Marine Bioinvasion Lab is located at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center. A major focus is identification of native, introduced and invasive species found in Oregon's estuaries. John Chapman, Ralph Breitenstein and Gayle Hansen compiled this current spreadsheet of the marine algae and invertebrates in the Yaquina and...

Intertemporal timber supply models typically assume perfect capital markets and perfectly inelastic supplies of land. Using a dynamic model of U.S. timber and agriculture markets, we examine (i) borrowing limits or capital constraints, in which investment in forest management on nonindustrial private ownerships is restricted, and (ii) a nonzero elasticity...
