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...

Here we use SKS shear wave splitting observations from ocean-bottom seismometer data to infer patterns of mantle deformation beneath the Juan de Fuca plate and its adjoining boundaries. Our results indicate that the asthenosphere beneath the Juan de Fuca plate responds largely to absolute plate motion with an anisotropic layer...

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...
Sharp increases in the use of flammable plastics and electronic devices coupled with stricter fire safety requirements have promoted the heavy use of flame retardant chemicals. While flame retardant use has increased, a great deal of uncertainty surrounds their safety with some evidence showing toxicity and risk to human and...

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...
Meniscal tears are a common cause of stifle lameness in dogs. Use of autologous
synoviocytes from the affected stifle is an attractive cell source for tissue engineering
replacement fibrocartilage. However, the diseased state of these cells may impede
in vitro fibrocartilage formation. Synoviocytes from 12 osteoarthritic (“oaTSB”) and
6 normal...

1. Seeding native plants is a key management practice to counter land degradation across
the globe, yet the majority of seeding efforts fail, limiting our ability to accelerate ecosystem
recovery.
2. Recruitment requires transitions through several seed and seedling stages, some of which
may have overriding influences on restoration outcomes....

To survive winter, many perennial plants become endodormant, a state of suspended growth maintained even in favorable growing environments. To understand vegetative bud endodormancy, we collected paradormant, endodormant, and ecodormant axillary buds from Populus trees growing under natural conditions. Of 44,441 Populus gene models analyzed using NimbleGen microarrays, we found...
