Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) were artificially
infected with erythrocytic necrosis virus (ENV) to study
the physiological and hematolgical consequences of ENV-infection.
Infected and control fish were held in
pathogen-free seawater and sampled weekly for five weeks.
Physiological tests included plasma cortisol, glucose,
protein, and osmolality, blood lactic acid, and liver...
Carbon nanotube (CNT) photodiodes are a promising system for high-efficiency photocurrent generation due to the strong Coulomb interactions that can drive carrier multiplication. If the Coulomb interactions are too strong, however, exciton formation can hamper photocurrent generation. Here, we explore, experimentally and theoretically, the effect of the environmental dielectric constant...
In west Eugene (Oregon), community research indicates residents are disproportionately exposed to industrial air pollution and exhibit increased asthma incidence. In Carroll County (Ohio), recent increases in unconventional natural gas drilling sparked air quality concerns. These community concerns led to the development of a prototype mobile device to measure personal...
In the globalizing era, world trade of fishery resources has sharply
increased. Because capture fisheries are hard to be managed, growing
opportunity for fishery trade may cause the overexploitation of world
fishery resources. For instance, the theoretical model developed by
Takarada et al (2009, mimeograph) implies that fish stocks may...
Physicists who study semiconductor devices are fascinated by the fundamental limits of device performance. From the sub-threshold swing of transistors to the power conversion efficiency of photocells, performance is limited by the electronic structure of the materials used to build them. To surpass traditional device limits, we must turn to...
Indigenous cultures perceive the natural environment as an essential link between traditional cultural
practices, social connectedness, identity, and health. Many tribal communities face substantial health
disparities related to exposure to environmental hazards. Our study used qualitative methods to better
understand the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) members’...
College is a vital time to address both emotional and physical health, especially among at-risk populations such as sexual and gender minority college students. However, it has not always been clear whether health services on college campuses are actually reaching these students. The current study aimed to determine if sexual...
Healthcare discrimination is associated with various health-related attitudes, behaviors, intentions, and outcomes including provider avoidance, underutilization or increased use of healthcare services, use of alternative means of healthcare, delays in medical care, less satisfaction with care, poor health behaviors, and poorer health outcomes. Since 2001, Muslims and Arabs in the...
In von Neumann Languages, side effects occur if one or more non local variables change value(s) during the execution of a procedure or a function. Side effects can occur only if the programming language provides a notion of memory (or state) where the effect will be stored. Side effects complicate...
1. Ecologists, outdoor professionals and the public work and play in lands with complex histories. Part of decolonizing our professional and recreational practices is to expose settler colonial biases and recognize the histories of colonized lands and the peoples who have stewarded these lands for millennia prior to colonization.
