The Greenland NEEM (North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling) operation in 2010 provided the first opportunity to combine trace-gas measurements by laser spectroscopic instruments and continuous-flow analysis along a freshly drilled ice core in a field-based setting. We present the resulting atmospheric methane (CH₄) record covering the time period from 107.7...
The primary objective of this study was to summarize the budgeting procedures used by public school homemaking teachers in Oregon. It was hoped the results of the study would: 1. Benefit teacher education in preparing future teachers to cope with the intricacies involved in developing workable budgets. 2. Help administrators...

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide with human papillomavirus (HPV) being the main cause of the disease. Currently available treatment methods are limited and emphasize the need for discovery of new therapies that improve patient outcome. Chromosomal amplifications have been identified as a source of...
The Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii minima) population has increased from a low of 20,000 in 1984 to the current population of 220,000-300,000 (Stehn 2012, Sanders 2013). As the Cackling goose population began to recover in the late 1990s, the majority of the population relocated from wintering in California to the...
The Nearctic species of the genus Sympherobius
Banks are revised. Seventeen species are recorded from
the region. Two new species, S. constrictus and S.
quadricuspis are described from California and Arizona
respectively. Four new specific synonyms are proposed
(junior synonym(s) first): S. brunneus Nakahara and S.
stangei Nakahara = S....
This study assessed the effects of thinning on arthropod communities on understory plants in the Central Oregon Coast Range. Arthropods were sampled from five understory plants in five pairs of thinned and unthinned, young (50-80 yrs), managed Douglas-fir stands, from late May to mid-July of 1998. Vine maple (Acer circinatum),...
The objective of this study was to further determine the distribution of
selenoprotein W (SeW) in tissues from rats and sheep fed different selenium levels and to
search for the possible functions of this protein. In the rat study a total of 28 rat tissues
were examined and SeW was...
Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were first successfully introduced into Oregon and Washington in the 1960s; the population has grown in size and expanded in distribution to a point where it provides an important recreational hunting opportunity in both states that generates significant funds for habitat conservation and contributes financially to...
