Contaminants used at low elevation, such as pesticides on crops, can be transported tens of kilometers and deposited in adjacent mountains in many parts of the world. Atmospherically deposited organic contaminants in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, USA, have exceeded some thresholds of concern, but the spatial and temporal...
Vitamin E improved liver histology in children and adults with NAFLD who participated in TONIC and PIVENS clinical trials,
but with significant inter-individual variability in its efficacy. Cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) is the major enzyme
metabolizing Vit E, with two common genetic variants (V433M, rs2108622 and W12G, rs3093105) found to...

Assessing uncertainties in hydrologic models can improve accuracy in predicting future streamflow. Here,
simulated streamflows using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model at coarse (1/16°) and fine (1/120°)
spatial resolutions were evaluated against observed streamflows from 217 watersheds. In particular, the adequacy
of VIC simulations in groundwater- versus runoff-dominated watersheds...
This work reports on how resource rent is distributed among owners of exclusive fishing grounds in the spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) fishery of Punta Allen, Mexico. This MSC certified small-scale fishery is co-managed through Territorial User Rights. Members of the local fishing cooperative, have exclusive access to individual fishing grounds....
We investigated scaling of conservative solute transport using temporal moment
analysis of 98 tracer experiments (384 breakthrough curves) conducted in 44 streams
located on five continents. The experiments span 7 orders of magnitude in discharge
(10⁻ ³ to 10³ m³/s), span 5 orders of magnitude in longitudinal scale (10¹ to...
To give the many Oregon farmers, who, are unable to leave
home to take a four-year course in the Agricultural College, a
share in the advantages of a higher education the Experiment
Station has for years conducted- farmers' institutes in various
parts of the state.
The success of these encouraged...
