During the first full school year of the Covid-19 pandemic, two central contexts for adolescent development—home and school—changed utterly. In Oregon, most middle- and high schoolers attended school entirely remotely from the beginning of the pandemic, in March, 2020, through the end of April, 2021, removing both the supports available...
The soil bacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 can colonize root and seed surfaces of many plants, protecting them from infection by plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes. The capacity to suppress disease is attributed to Pf-5's production of a large spectrum of antibiotics, which is controlled by complex regulatory circuits operating at...

A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay
processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the
77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of
¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...
Recently obtained airgun-sonobuoy wide-angle refraction and
reflection profiles provide data to study crustal velocities and
structures along the continental margin of northern California and
Southern Oregon.
In the thick sedimentary wedge at the base of the continental
slope, as many as five distinct layers can be seismically observed,
which range...
Urban African American adolescents exhibit high levels of risk behavior, disproportionately high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and are at risk for acquiring Human Immunodefiency Virus (HIV). To date, interventions that address the high rates of STIs in this population demonstrate only moderate efficacy. As researchers strive to develop...
An intensive case study was undertaken at the farm fisheries from during wet months under NAZ of Indian subtropics for characterization and integrated utilization of Tal wetland ecosystem through pisciculture [Live (magur - Clarias batrachus & singi - Heteropneustes fossilis) and sweet water fishes (rohu - Labeo rohita & Katla...
Declining abundance of Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha across the Pacific Northwest is an issue of
great concern ecologically, culturally, and economically. Growth during the first summer is vitally important for
juvenile Chinook Salmon, as it influences not only life history decisions (to smolt or not to smolt) but also subsequent...

Research suggests that, in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), low
plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) concentrations are related to an increased incidence
and severity of symptoms associated with CTS. This study was designed to determine
the relationship between plasma and red blood cell PLP concentrations and the severity
and incidence...
The status of vitamin B-6 (B6) nutriture of nine
persons (4F;5M) with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
(IDDM), nine persons (5F;4M) with non-insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and 18 control individuals
(9F;9M) was evaluated, using biochemical and dietary
indicators of B6 status. The biochemical indices employed
were plasma concentration of pyridoxal...
