Three stations, at ∼80 m water depth on the Oregon shelf between 44.7°N and 43.9 N, were studied under hypoxic conditions in late spring and summer of 2009 to determine benthic oxygen consumption rates. Oxygen fluxes were derived from eddy correlation (EC) measurements made from an autonomous lander deployed for...
Three stations, at similar to ~80 m water depth on the Oregon shelf between 44.7 degrees N and 43.9 N, were studied under hypoxic conditions in late spring and summer of 2009 to determine benthic oxygen consumption rates. Oxygen fluxes were derived from eddy correlation (EC) measurements made from an...
This thesis is an account of investigation on the natural products deriving from various marine algae and has resulted in the discovery of eleven novel bioactive metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these new molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by analyses of different spectroscopic data, respectively. Using...
Despite today’s high divorce rate, one out of five first marriages
lasts 50 years. Such long-lasting relationships are a
contemporary phenomenon. Consider this: At the end of the 19th
century, the average length of marriage when one spouse died
was about 28 years. Now it's over 43 years!
Grandparenting has become a phenomenon of middle age rather
than old age. As such, grandparents may be experiencing some
mid-life crises of their own such as career change, divorce, widowhood,
dating, remarriage, or health problems. They also may
be concerned about the care of their own older parents.
Research on sibling relationships has focused mostly on childhood and
adolescence. What we currently know about siblings in later life
is limited, but our knowledge is growing. Although the number of
living siblings an individual has declines with age, contact among
siblings increases with age.
The effects of scald epidemics, induced by Rhynchosporium secalis
(Oud.) Davis, on the yield and quality of winter malting barley have not been
reported. The principal objective of this investigation was to assess yield and
quality losses in resistant and susceptible winter barley genotypes in diverse
environments of the Pacific...
Vitamin E was first described in 1922 as an unknown factor required for impregnated rats to carry their offspring to term. In fact, when vitamin E was chemically characterized it was given the name "tocopherol" derived from the Greek: tokos = childbirth; phero = to bear; and –ol, indicating an...
Case control studies of nonagenarians and centenarians provide evidence that long‐lived individuals do not
differ in the rate of disease associated variants compared to population controls. These results suggest that an enrichment
of novel protective variants, rather than a lack of disease associated variants, determine the genetic predisposition to
exceptionally...

Best available copy. In 1984, longstanding concerns about pollution in Yaquina Bay impelled the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make a comprehensive sanitary survey of the Yaquina River, with particular emphasis on areas where oysters were grown. The report states that the oyster plots endured "sporadic poor water quality,"...
