Accurate diagnosis is the most important step in identifying and curing diseases. There are no accurate low cost disease diagnostic tools available for developing countries. The use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices and colorimetric analysis of an assay response could solve these issues. Several colorimetric liver assays have been demonstrated...

Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests are widely distributed throughout North America and are subject to mountain pine
beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) epidemics, which have caused mortality over millions of hectares of mature trees in
recent decades. Mountain pine beetle is known to influence stand structure, and has the ability to impact...

The three studies that comprise this dissertation seek to answer significant
questions in paleoclimatology through unconventional applications of ice core
greenhouse gas data. These studies involve different gases and span the interval of time
between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Industrial Revolution, but are united by their
nontraditional use...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF
Julia L. Rosen for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in
This paper reports the output of a consensus symposium organized by the International Union of Radioecology in November 2015. The symposium gathered an academically diverse group of 30 scientists to consider the still debated ecological impact of radiation on populations and ecosystems. Stimulated by the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters' accidental...

BACKGROUND:
AVI-7288 is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer with positive charges that targets the viral messenger RNA that encodes Marburg virus (MARV) nucleoprotein. Its safety in humans is undetermined.
METHODS:
We assessed the efficacy of AVI-7288 in a series of studies involving a lethal challenge with MARV in nonhuman primates. The...

To investigate the extent and causes of recent quaking aspen (Populus
tremuloides) recruitment in northern Yellowstone National Park, we measured browsing
intensity and height of young aspen in 87 randomly selected aspen stands in 2012, and
compared our results to similar data collected in 1997–1998. We also examined the
relationship...

This paper examines albedo perturbation and radiative forcing after a high-severity fire in a
mature forest in the Oregon Cascade Range. Correlations between postfire albedo and seedling, sapling,
and snag (standing dead tree) density were investigated across fire severity classes and seasons for years
4-15 after fire. Albedo perturbation was...
