To determine whether membrane-related events may be involved in
attenuated luteal function after gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
administration, corpora lutea (CL) were removed from 10 beef heifers on day 7
of the estrous cycle after i.v. injection of GnRH or saline on day 2 of the cycle.
Luteal slices were incubated...
The War Production Board issued limitation order 85 in April 1942 in order to conserve fabric and manpower needed for the war effort. The L-85 order froze the silhouette so no major style changes in women's wear would occur during the war. It is clear that on the one hand...
Small amounts of carbon from glucose and leucine added at natural
concentrations to seawater were biologically transformed to higher
molecular weight (MW) dissolved materials which persisted through six
months of incubation. These materials were resistant to biological
utilization: only 1 to 17% of the higher MW carbon was respired when...
During the early 19th Century, the fur trade brought many Iroquois to the Pacific Northwest as working primarily as voyageurs for the North West Company. When the North West Company merged with the Hudson's Bay Company, the Iroquois employees merged as well. After retirement, some settled in the Willamette Valley...
The purpose of this study was to explore the possible relationship among fashion media, the social responsibility agenda of the Audubon Society, and the use of birds in millinery in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Both the content analysis method and the historic method were used to gain...

The 134-year old Frantz-Dunn House in Hoskins, Oregon is an intact, well-preserved example of rural Gothic architecture in the Willamette Valley. The old farmstead sits on a former Civil War Fort site and represents a link in the history of the region to the larger patterns of expansion in America...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a course in cultural competency would impact associate degree nursing students' perceptions of their abilities to provide care to culturally diverse clients. Ethnographic interviews with nursing faculty, graduates and students were utilized in course development. The cultural competency course was evaluated...
In this thesis, I examine the ways in which the television series Twin Peaks represents
the feminine through a textual analysis of the character Audrey Home. Using reader-response
theory, I seek to show that while the series conforms to patriarchal media
conventions such as the male gaze and narrative stereotypes...
In the past 10 years we have witnessed the beginnings of the study of soil ecology as a unified science, and the general realization by soil scientists, farmers, and land managers that many of the most important economic aspects of soil health are controlled by biological factors. This research focuses...
Marine heat waves are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity under future climate scenarios, but little is known about the impact of these events on the one of the most commonly used proxies of ocean temperature - foraminiferal assemblages. This research explores the planktic foraminifera community along the Newport...
