The mapped area is part of the middle Deschutes Basin of central Oregon, which lies in the northwestern corner of the High Lava Plains physiographic province, between the Cascade and Ochoco Mountains. It is underlain by Cenozoic lavas, tuffs and sediments of continental origin. The oldest rocks in the sequence...

Approximately 4,210 feet of Late Cretaceous and 1,440 feet of Tertiary sedimentary rocks are exposed in the Salt Wells Anticline area of southcentral Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Late Cretaceous units include the Blair, Rock Springs, Ericson, and Almond Formations of the Mesaverde Group and the Lewis Shale; Tertiary units include the...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
DONALD ALBERT HARTMAN
(Name of
The volcanic rocks of the Harney Basin comprise a bimodal
assemblage of rhyolites (SiO₂ greater than 72%) and basalts (SiO₂
less than 52%). Tholeiitic basalts account for 15 rocks analyzed and
alkalic basalts for three. Most basalts contain phenocrysts of olivine
and plagioclase. Pyroxene phenocrysts were not found. Rhyolite
flows...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
DONALD JAMES PARKER for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
(Name) (Degree
The root pathogen, Phytophthora lateralis Tucker and Milbrath,
continues its destructive spread among Port-Orford Cedars (Chamaecyparis
lawsoniana (Murr.) Parl.) of southwestern Oregon. This
thesis concerns spread of the fungus between root systems of
individual trees in a 49-year-old stand predominantly of Port-Orford-
Cedar. The contribution of root grafts to spread...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
DONALD E GORDON for the MASTER OF
Silicic volcanism in the central Oregon Cascade range has decreased in both the size and frequency of eruptions from its initiation at ~40 Ma to present. The reasons for this reduction in silicic volcanism are poorly constrained. Studies of the petrogenesis of these magmas have the potential for addressing this...

Epidemiological studies on Greenland Inuits in the 1970s and subsequent human studies have established an inverse relationship between the ingestion of omega-3 fatty acids [C₂₀₋₂₂ ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)], blood levels of C₂₀₋₂₂ ω3 PUFA and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease [CVD]. C₂₀₋₂₂ ω3 PUFA have pleiotropic effects on...

DHA (22:6,ω3), but not EPA (20:5,ω3), attenuates Western diet (WD)-induced hepatic fibrosis in a Ldlr[superscript −/−] mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. We examined the molecular basis for the differential effect of dietary EPA and DHA on WD-induced hepatic fibrosis. DHA was more effective than EPA at preventing WD-induced effects on...
