The objectives of this study were to determine the
peritoneal clearance of vitamin B-6 and to evaluate the
vitamin B-6 and vitamin A status of children with chronic
renal failure undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal
dialysis (CAPD). Eight children aged 2 to 18 years
(mean 12) were included in the study....
The pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and ergot alkaloids are known natural toxicants found in livestock forage. These alkaloids contribute to large economic losses in livestock throughout the world. An understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and development of better diagnostic tools for better management practices was investigated. Variability exists in the...
In this expanded new edition of Living with Earthquakes, Robert Yeats, a leading authority on earthquakes in California and the Pacific Northwest, describes the threat posed by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a great earthquake fault which runs for hundreds of miles offshore from British Columbia to northern California. New research...
Gravity measurements made during 1979 and 1980, combined with
existing gravity measurements, provide data for the interpretation
of upper crustal structures relevant to the assessment of the geothermal
potential of south-central Oregon.
West of Upper Klamath Lake, free-air gravity anomalies trend
north-south and average near 35 mgals. East of Upper...
This thesis is a preliminary archaeological predictive model and project-planning
tool created for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as part
of a statewide planning effort to enhance the agency's ability to assess the potential
impacts of highway projects on archaeological resources. This model addresses the
archaeological sensitivity of the...
The genetic variability in and association between 14 traits that affect maturity, yield, and chemical properties of its product. The plant characters measured were: vigor, flowering date, harvest date, yield, lateral length, nodes per lateral, cones per lateral, cones per vine, cone weight. Alpha-acid and beta-acid content of the cone,...
