This study consisted of determining some of the conditions for
culture of young English sole (Parophrys vetulus Girard) in the laboratory.
Rearing of the larvae to the juvenile stage was attempted
unsuccessfully; techniques used and problems encountered during culture
are discussed. Growth of juveniles was studied at combinations of
temperatures...
Acid deposition and repeated biomass harvest have decreased
soil calcium (Ca) availability in many temperate forests worldwide, yet
existing methods for assessing available soil Ca do not fully characterize
soil Ca forms. To account for discrepancies in ecosystem Ca budgets, it
has been hypothesized that the highly insoluble biomineral Ca...
International immersion experiences do not, in themselves, provide students with the opportunity to develop cultural competence. However, using an anthropological lens to educate students allows them to learn how to negotiate cultural differences by removing their own cultural filters and seeing events through the eyes of those who are culturally...
In two breeding experiments, straightbred and crossbred rabbits were evaluated for performance characters relating to reproduction, disease resistance, growth and carcass quality. In the first experiment,
New Zealand White CNN) and Flemish Giant (FG) straightbreds and FG sire x (Florida White-New Zealand White dam) terminal-crossbreds (TX) were involved. Reproductive performance...
OBJECTIVE: Pharmacokinetic interactions exist between combined
oral contraceptives and protease inhibitors (PI). However, such
information is lacking for progestin-only oral contraception. We
sought to define the steady-state pharmacokinetic interaction between
norethindrone (NET) and PI in HIV-infected women.
METHODS AND DESIGN: We conducted an open-label, prospective,
nonrandomized trial to characterize the...
Much outdoor recreation occurs on publicly owned land and water
resources, or involves use of these public resources. Consequently, an
economic problem arises concerning the value of recreational resources
which do not have a conventional market price. Without a price to guide
the allocation of resources, it is difficult to...
The essays in this collection do not cluster about a specific theme, nor do they present a single unified interpretative approach to issues in the history of American foreign policy. Above all, William Appleman Williams is a teacher. And good teachers are disappointed with conformity. No one would ever come...
Steven Universe, a relatively new show from Cartoon Network, explores an unexpectedly complex understanding of gender through their main protagonists. Utilizing Judith Butler’s work on gender performativity and doing gender, as well as Daniel Dennett’s conception of the self as a theorist’s fiction, and Alexander Weheliye’s understanding of power and...
In this memoir, by alumnus and Zoology Department instructor William J. Gilstrap, the author details various aspects of his life, including: childhood in Missouri, student experience at Oregon Agricultural College (OAC) in the 1890s, and his medical practice in various Oregon locales. Gilstrap also describes in this narrative the origins...
The relationships between black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) herbivory and understory vegetation in unmanaged forests in Olympic National Park were studied from 1985 - 1989. From 1985 to 1986 I studied the impact of cervid exclusion on shrub, fern, and forb forage quality, tannin...
Many parts of the West are experiencing substantial growth pressures that have increased the demand for water. These new demands come at a time when most of the water in the West has been fully appropriated by traditional uses such as agriculture, mining, and industry. Some attempts are being made...
Research has shown that college students sit above the global average for levels of physical inactivity. Currently, there are attempts to assuage this by using motivational theories to encourage physical activity. This, however, is being met with limited success. Therefore, it is now necessary to cast a broader net across...
In this dissertation, I examine emerging economic issues which intersect outdoor recreation, environmental quality, public land use, and public health advisories. First, I explore the potential impacts of social media on visitation to public land. Social media, and in particular Instagram, has been suggested by journalist and land managers as...
