The data presented in this report demonstrate significant improvements
in the ability to constrain trace element and Sr isotopic
concentrations in sediments overlying ridge-flank hydrothermal
systems. Improved sampling methods orchestrated by the Integrated
Ocean Drilling Program (i.e., advanced piston coring and
anoxic sample processing) enabled the collection of reactive pore...
Field experiments were done to test the relative
effectiveness of single and multiple biological control
agents in reducing weed populations using two insects, the
cinnabar moth, Tvria iacobaeae (L.), and the ragwort flea
beetle, Lonqitarsus iacobaeae (Waterhouse). These two
insects were released for biological control of the biennial weed tansy...

of self concept upon parent-adolescent communication patterns.
Parental self concepts and the self concepts of their adolescent along
with the adolescent's perceived quality of communication with their
parents were examined to determine if (1) the parents' self concepts...
The stability and value of transgenic pest resistance for promoting tree growth are poorly understood. These data are
essential for determining if such trees could be beneficial to commercial growers in the face of substantial regulatory and
marketing costs. We investigated growth and insect resistance in hybrid poplar expressing the...

In 1991 Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) was reported as a new host for Phytophthora lateralis Tucker and Milbrath which is an aggressive root rot pathogen thought previously to be specific to Port-Orford-cedar. This study was designed to compare the pathogenicity of P. lateralis on the two hosts, and to...
