Marine teleost fishes often experience over 99% mortality in the early life stages (eggs and larvae), yet larval survival is essential to population sustainability. Marine fish larvae from a wide range of families display elaborate, delicate features that bear little resemblance to adult forms and hinder their swimming escape ability...

Limited information is available on the effects of applied spring nitrogen (N) and cultivar on winter canola (Brassica napus L.) production in high-rainfall environments. The objectives of this investigation were: (i) to determine the effects of spring N and winter canola cultivars on seed and oil production characteristics, and (ii)...
Sixteen secondary school health teachers evaluated their own
course teaching performance. Students in each of these courses
evaluated the same teacher and the results were compared. An
adapted version of a teacher rating form developed by the School of
Agriculture, Oregon State University, was used by all study participants.
Teacher...
In 1992, hundreds of buildings in Taiwan were discovered to have ⁶⁰Co contamination in the structural rebar. The contamination resulted from improper handling of ⁶⁰Co contaminated scrap metal in 1982 and 1983 that was subsequently recycled and used throughout Taiwan. One example was the Hsin-hsin Kindergarten (HHK) school which had...
Two research studies at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site and Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) explore the quantitative relationship between surface contamination, airborne radioactivity, worker intakes, and subsequent dose. In the first study, resuspension factors are developed and evaluated at the U.S. Department of Energy's (U.S. DOE)...
