The movement characteristics of five landslides are
compared and interpreted based on records of approximately
10-years duration. Condon landslide in the Oregon Coast
Range has consistently exhibited brief (1 - 8 days) movement
episodes in wet winter months, separated by long periods of
no movement. The translatory movement is probably...
Satellite observations of ice motion are combined with model estimates of low‐level winds and surface wind stress to provide evidence for atmospheric control of sea‐ice motion through Nares Strait, between Ellesmere Island and Greenland, during two periods in 2004. The results suggest that ice flux through the strait, and its...
A method for nesting, estimating and testing for the rank and functional form of the income terms in an incomplete system of
aggregable and integrable demand equations is derived. Information theory is applied to the problem of inferring the U.S.
income distribution using annual time series data on quintile and...
As part of investigations to adapt a suitable grazing system in
western Oregon, this research was designed to monitor the effects of
defoliation treatments on dry matter production, forage quality,
regrowth after defoliation, and species composition of a Lolium
perenne Trifolium subterraneum pasture for three consecutive
growing seasons from 1980...
With the increasing international focus on transboundary cooperation as a part of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Framework, there is global recognition of transboundary water cooperation as a tool for improved governance and management of transboundary surface and groundwaters. Yet, there is not an agreed upon definition of transboundary water...
Parasitic infections and immune challenges can affect host reproductive fitness and, ultimately, the evolution of host populations in a myriad of ways. The fitness implications of parasitic infections range from increased host mortality to subtle changes in reproductive investment. From alterations of behaviors, sexual signaling, and competitive ability to changes...
In two studies we tested the effect of vitamin B-6
(B-6) intake on in vitro lymphocyte, proliferation and IL-2
production in healthy young women. In Study I, 6 women were
fed a constant diet containing 0.84 mg (4.96 μmols) of B-6
for 12 d, and 1.24 mg (7.33 μmols) and...
Due to a number of disadvantages associated with the use of antibodies as
affinity stationary phases, researchers have recently began to explore the use of RNA
and DNA aptamers for use as affinity stationary phases. These molecules have been
shown to be a viable choice for applications in many methods...
