Multimedia networking is one of the most exciting developments in today's Internet. Streaming technology; which allows the player to start playing audio/video data immediately instead of waiting for the entire file to be downloaded, presents an attractive vehicle for the distribution of multimedia content over the Internet. However, transmitting real-time...
The American Land Institute is proud to present this study, Oregon’s Public Investment in Conservation, Prosperity and Fairness. This is the first major study on a topic that has been largely overlooked in past and current discussions of land use law in Oregon: the nature and extent of property tax...
Graphical methods for displaying uncertainty are often the most concise and informative way to communicate abstract concepts. Presentation methods currently in use for the display and interpretation of scientific uncertainty are reviewed. Numerous subjective and objective uncertainty display methods are presented, including qualitative assessments, node and arrow diagrams, standard statistical...
In this report, we present future projections of climate and climate-related natural hazards in Benton County for the 2020s (2010–2039) and 2050s (2040–2069) relative to the 1971–2000 historical baseline. The projections are based on multiple global climate models for both a lower greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP 4.5) and a...
Background: We present a model for reporting accelerometer paradata (process-related data produced from survey administration) collected in the International Study of Childhood Obesity Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE), a multi-national investigation of >7000 children (averaging 10.5 years of age) sampled from 12 different developed and developing countries and five continents....

Mammalian flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) is active towards many drugs with a heteroatom having the properties of a soft nucleophile. Thiocarbamides and thiones are S-oxygenated to the sulfenic acid which can either react with glutathione and initiate a redox-cycle or be oxygenated a second time to the unstable sulfinic acid. In...
NW Rota-1 is a submarine volcano in the Mariana volcanic arc located ~100 km north of Guam.
Underwater explosive eruptions driven by magmatic gases were first witnessed there in 2004 and continued
until at least 2010. During a March 2010 expedition, visual observations documented continuous but
variable eruptive activity at...

Anthropogenic and natural stressors often interact to affect organisms. Amphibian populations are undergoing unprecedented declines and extinctions with pesticides and emerging infectious diseases implicated as causal factors. Although these factors often co-occur, their effects on amphibians are usually examined in isolation. We hypothesized that exposure of larval and metamorphic amphibians...

BACKGROUND: Cell lineage-specific DNA methylation patterns distinguish normal human leukocyte subsets and can
be used to detect and quantify these subsets in peripheral blood. We have developed an approach that uses DNA
methylation to simultaneously quantify multiple leukocyte subsets, enabling investigation of immune modulations
in virtually any blood sample including...
