What does comida rica mean? In this thesis, I explore the meanings of comida rica, sana, and de nuestra tierra through the discourses, practices, and kitchen geographies in six urban, highland households in the Ecuadorean Andes. This research, as part of a larger investigation carried out by a team of...
exceptional examples of the Nation’s biological and geological features. To qualify for
NNL designation, a site must be one of the best examples of a geological or biological
feature within a biophysiographic province. Zumwalt Prairie represents a perfect example
of this concept, containing one of the largest remnants of native...

Bacteria were isolated from water at Alder Slough, Oregon. Of
15 isolates grown successfully in the medium employed, 100% showed
measurable uptake of Zn-65. A growth curve was established for one
isolate, a gram-negative rod designated AS-1. Increasing Zn-65 uptake
was found generally to correspond with increasing growth of
AS-1....
The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to indium- or gallium-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice...
Joseph Reddeford Walker conducted
a party of men across the Sierra Nevada to the
Pacific coast of California in 1833. Previous
interpretations of the portion of the route
from Humboldt Sink, Nevada, to the San Joaquin
River, California, are not satisfactory. A
body of descriptions of the terrain traversed
exists...

A recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population developed from a cross between winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
cultivars Coda and Brundage was evaluated for reaction to stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici). Two
hundred and sixty eight RIL from the population were evaluated in replicated field trials...

A field study was conducted in 1978 and 1979 at two locations near
Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the silage yield and quality of 13 fallsown
cereal varieties at two nitrogen fertilizer levels in the context of
a corn-winter cemal double cropping production system.
Data on the yield, crude protein (CP)...
Estuaries are once again emerging as important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. Yaquina Bay, located...
