Site 35JA42 represents the first protohistoric village
complex excavated in Southwest Oregon. Analyses of animal
bones recovered from the site offer the first significant
insights into human subsistence behaviors in this region.
Although the faunal assemblage is extremely fragmented,
detailed zooarchaeological analysis indicates that deer were
the primary meat resource...
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...
The effects of zinc and phosphorus treatments on five different
plant species were investigated in a greenhouse experiment. A
second greenhouse experiment extended these investigations in sweet
corn over a broad range of phosphorus treatments with and without
adequate zinc nutrition to study phosphorus induced zinc deficiency.
The plant responses...
Zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are
investigated as a channel layers for transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs).
Films are deposited on glass for characterization, and transistor channel layers are
deposited onto aluminum oxide-titanium oxide/tin doped indium oxide/glass
substrates (ATO/ITO/glass) to produce TTFTs.
UV-visible spectroscopy on...
Following the work of Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya for Faber polynomials associated to the modular group, and Bannai, Kojima, and Miezaki's partial proof for the case of the Fricke group of level 2, we show that the zeros of certain modular functions for some low-level genus zero groups associated to...
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...

This study investigated how lidar-derived vegetation indices, disturbance history from Landsat time series (LTS)
imagery, plot location accuracy, and plot size influenced accuracy of statistical spatial models (nearest-neighbor
imputation maps) of forest vegetation composition and structure. Nearest-neighbor (NN) imputation maps were
developed for 539,000 ha in the central Oregon Cascades,...
Academic success is a salient domain of youth development and is related to positive lifelong outcomes among youth in foster care. However, youth in foster care experience compounding adversities, including maltreatment and foster care placement itself, which put them at risk of academic disengagement and underachievement. Despite these adversities, academic...
1. Anthropogenic disturbances involving land use change, climate disruption, pollution and invasive species have been shown to impact immune function of wild animals. These immune changes have direct impacts on the fitness of impacted animals and, also, potentially indirect effects on other species and on ecological processes, notably involving the...
