Local property-owning residents maintain high levels of interest
and awareness regarding a neighboring natural resource complex.
Factors, however, such as proximity, personal interests, use patterns
and economic considerations cause local inhabitants to have an
inaccurate perception of the natural resource complex. The nature
of local resident perception can be analyzed...

Vibrio cholerae, an etiological agent of cholera, circulates between aquatic reservoirs and the human gastrointestinal tract. The
type II secretion (T2S) system plays a pivotal role in both stages of the lifestyle by exporting multiple proteins, including cholera
toxin. Here, we studied the kinetics of expression of genes encoding the...

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...

Reproductively and geographically isolated populations of predators may be synchronized by a phenomenon known as the Moran effect—specifically if they exhibit common responses to external processes, such as climate, density dependence (parasites, disease), or prey. Prey has the ability to synchronize predators if geographically isolated predator populations target the same...

Dispersing hydrophilic nanofillers in highly hydrophobic polymer matrices is widely used to tune the mechanical properties of composite material systems. The ability to control the dispersion of fillers is closely related to the mechanical tunability of such composites. In this work, we investigate the physical–chemical underpinnings of how simple end-group...

Increased temperatures and changes in precipitation will result in fundamental changes in the
seasonal distribution of streamflow in the Pacific Northwest and will have serious implications for water
resources management. To better understand local impacts of regional climate change, we conducted
model experiments to determine hydrologic sensitivities of annual, seasonal,...

Changes in the amount of summer incoming solar radiation (insolation) reaching the Northern Hemisphere are the underlying pacemaker of glacial cycles. However, not all rises in boreal summer insolation over the past 800,000 years resulted in deglaciation to present-day ice volumes, suggesting that there may be a climatic threshold for...

full glacial conditions.
Evidence for rapid mass
Simulations of past climates require altered
boundary conditions to account for known shifts in the Earth
system. For the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and subsequent
deglaciation, the existence of large Northern Hemisphere
ice sheets caused profound changes in surface topography
and albedo. While ice-sheet extent is fairly well
known, numerous...
