This publication is written for you, to help you succeed as a 4-H club leader. As the leader of a 4-H group, one of your main responsibilities is to provide guidance for the organization and operation of your club. You will discover that the members (and other leaders) of the...
Powdery mildew of hop (Podosphaera macularis) may cause economic loss due to reductions in cone yield and quality.
Quantitative estimates of crop damage from powdery mildew remain poorly characterized, especially the effect of late season
disease management on crop yield and quality. Field studies in Washington State evaluated cone yield,...
When precipitation falls on frozen soil, serious soil loss can
occur. In order to assign realistic probabilities to the occurrence of
this condition for use in predicting erosion rates over long time
periods, a technique for combining characteristics of precipitation and
air temperature records is applied to hourly wet season...
Among the myriad of naturally occurring bioactive compounds are the aminocyclopentitol-containing natural products that represent a family of sugar-derived microbial secondary metabolites, such as the antibiotics pactamycin, allosamidin, and trehazolin. Pactamycin, a structurally unique aminocyclitol antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces pactum, consists of a 5-membered ring aminocyclitol (cyclopentitol) unit, two aromatic...
The investigation described in this project will test the hypothesis that fluxes of carbon, barium, manganese, iron and uranium associated with fluid seepage at the San Clemente fracture zone significantly affect the geochemical budgets for these elements, and ultimately result in anomalously high benthic fluxes throughout the San Clemente basin.
Carpogenic germination of sclerotia and infection of flowers by ascospores of Sclerotinia minor is rare and seldom documented in most hosts. During 2007–2009, S. minor isolates were obtained from surface-sterilized pyrethrum flowers collected from fields in Australia. The isolation frequency of S. minor from flowers in 2007, 2008 and 2009...

Investigations of the behavior of the geomagnetic field on geological timescales rely on globally
distributed data sets from dated lava flows. We present the first suitable data from the Arctic region,
comprising 37 paleomagnetic directions from Jan Mayen (71°N, 0.2–461 ka) and Spitsbergen (79°N, 1–9.2 Ma) and five paleointensity results....

Downy mildew (caused by Pseudoperonospora humuli) and powdery mildew (caused by Podosphaera macularis) are important diseases of hop in the Pacific Northwest United States, and cultural practices may affect the severity of both diseases. The association of spring pruning quality and timing with severity of downy mildew and powdery mildew...
Aims:
To design and validate a colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid detection of Phytophthora infestans DNA.
Methods and Results:
Two sets of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) primers were designed and evaluated for their sensitivity and specificity for P. infestans. ITSII primers targeted a portion of the internal transcribed...
This report includes information concerning experimental use of unregistered pesticides or unregistered uses of pesticides. Experimental results should not be interpreted as recommendations for use. Use of unregistered materials or use of any registered pesticides inconsistent with its label is against both Federal Law and State Law.

This research compared the effectiveness of an interactive video training program with an instructor-led program for teaching working adults the personal computer (PC) application WordPerfect. The objectives of the study were to develop a research methodology and instrumentation in order to determine whether instructor-led training resulted in significantly different reaction,...
Stem mapping of all trees greater than 15 cm dbh has
been completed on the 10.24 hectare watershed (No. 10) at H. J.
Andrews intensive study site. Using a 25 m grid system, mapping
of vegetation into 7 plant communities and then into 4 habitat
types has also been completed....
A feedlot cannot retain its manure byproduct indefinitely.
Eventually some method of disposal must be used. A case study
approach to this problem confronting a cattle feeding operation
representative of those in the area was used to determine volume
relationship among different product forms in order to maximize
net revenue...
In 2014, Oregon State University (OSU) initiated a multi-year project to study humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrations in the North Pacific Ocean using satellite tracking technology in combination with genetic and photo-identification (photo-ID) analyses. The study is highly relevant to management, given the need for new information arising from the...
The behavior of the shore crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis was assessed
with and without exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1260).
After describing the crab's behavioral repertoire, activity budgets were
developed from observations of the time crabs spent in 20 categories of
shelter use, posture, and activity while held in habitat replicas...
Complex organic transformations, such as the addition of pyrrole to ketene using planar chiral organocatalyst (*PPY), the four-component anhydride- Manniach reactions, and the site-selective desymmetrization of meso-1,2-diol, are remarkable synthetic reactions that provide high yield and high selectivity. However, the exact mechanism and origins of stereocontrol for theses synthetic organic...
The development of nuclear reactors as an energy source
requires a substantial investment in capital and effort. This
development depends heavily on accurate calculational
methods.
Space-energy flux synthesis, also variously called the
spectral synthesis method, modal method, and overlapping
group method, is one possible method. In this method the
energy...
Recommendations are provided in this watershed analysis to identify actions and management decisions on the part of BLM that might improve watershed health in the Trask River watershed.
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship
between social acceptance and observed peer interaction in a select
group of preschool children.
The subjects were 30 children enrolled
in two sessions of a child development laboratory sponsored by the
Department of Family Life at Oregon State University.

The opening of the South Atlantic between 140 and 90 m. y. B. P.
occurred about two poles of rotation. The initial pole of rotation was
maintained until Africa and South America were completely separated.
The subsequent removal of restraints imposed by the pre-existing
structure of Africa and South America...
A numerical model was developed which predicts the dynamic
response of a single mooring line and a buoy of forty feet diameter
to sinusoidal waves, wind and current in all deep waters. All forces
and reactions were considered to be in one plane.
The basic equations for the mooring line...
Nalidixic acid and its derivatives act through inhibition of
bacterial DNA gyrase activity. Recently there have been a series of
papers reporting the antibacterial activity against three different
types of bacteria (S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa) by a series
of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline (or 1,8-naphthyridine) 3-carboxylic
acids. Consistent biological data...
Failure to reconstitute completely is one of the major drawbacks of dehydrated green beans. Shrivelled and flaccid beans are found in almost every reconstituted lot.
In the present study an endeavour was made to locate the chemical factors responsible for the different rehydration charac -teristics of dehydrated green beans.
Dehydrated...
