Submarine hydrothermal systems provide all of the
conditions necessary for the abiotic synthesis of organic
compounds, polymers, and simple cell-like organisms. An
analysis of the Archaean rock and fossil record shows that
fossils of simple organisms are found in rocks deposited in hydrothermal environments. Biochemical experiments have
shown that thermal...
Phytochemicals from cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, contain a multitude of bioactive compounds that prevent and suppress cancer and promote optimal health. Some of the health promoting effects of cruciferous vegetables are attributed to a class of compounds known as isothiocyanates (ITCs), a potent nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2...
A utilitarian approach, “greatest good for the greatest number”, in higher education has been common practice for a very long time (Alexander, 2000). This approach, while effective for many, is incomplete when exploring solutions to shifting demographics and larger achievement gaps based on these factors. Customized educational programming and less...
The dataset was generated as part of a study conducted by Oregon State University (OSU) and funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The study, titled "Use of Blue Lights on Paving Equipment in Work Zones," was conducted from June to December 2018. The dataset includes vehicle speed and...
Equatorward velocities in the upwelling jet of the northern California Current were 0.05–0.06 m s¯¹ faster in spring and summer 2002 than on average over 1998–2002. This result is based on a five-year data set of surface drifters released across the continental margin off central Oregon (44.65°N) during April and...
This report summarizes vegetation data collected in July 2015 in wet meadow and marshy habitats on the Double O Unit of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR). Because vegetation sampled at the Double O was wetter and more alkaline than wet meadows sampled at the south end of the refuge in...
In September 2014, the Metro Natural Area Program engaged The Wetland Conservancy to develop a scientific assessment of Metro’s 590-acre Killin Wetlands Natural Area. Metro acquired the lands comprising the KWNA between 2000 and 2012 with funds from two voter approved open space bond measures. Since 2000, Metro has sought...
