Conservation investment in management of at-risk species can be less costly than a delay-and-repair
approach implemented after species receive legal protection. The United States Endangered Species
Act candidate species designation represents an opportunity to implement proactive management to
avoid future listing. Such efforts require substantial investments, and the challenge becomes...

Crystallographic studies of ligands bound to biological macromolecules (proteins and nucleic acids) represent an important source of information concerning drug-target interactions, providing atomic level insights into the physical chemistry of complex formation between macromolecules and ligands. Of the more than 115,000 entries extant in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive,...

In February 2009, the Oregon Wave Energy Trust kicked off a project titled the Utility Market Initiative (UMI). The project's purpose was to initiate a process to align the needs of the regional electric utilities with the resource potential of the wave energy industry. Pacific Energy Ventures' proposal that include...

Sensory hair cells convert mechanical motion into chemical signals. Otoferlin, a six-C2 domain transmembrane protein linked to deafness in humans, is hypothesized to play a
role in exocytosis at hair cell ribbon synapses. To date however, otoferlin has been
studied almost exclusively in mouse models, and no rescue experiments have...

Phellinus sulphurascens (previously the Douglas-fir form of Phellinus weirii) is an important native pathogen causing laminated root rot in forests of western North America. Visual crown symptoms, or attacks by bark or ambrosia beetles appear only during advanced stages of the disease with extensive infection in the lower bole. Ethanol...
Management of marine ecosystems increasingly demands comprehensive and quantitative assessments of ocean health,
but lacks a tool to do so. We applied the recently developed Ocean Health Index to assess ocean health in the relatively
data-rich US west coast region. The overall region scored 71 out of 100, with sub-regions...
