Oregon State University has hosted an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) International Collaborative Standard Problem (ICSP) through testing conducted on the Multi-Application Small Light Water (MASLWR) facility. The MASLWR facility features a full-time natural circulation loop in the primary vessel and a unique pressure suppression device for accident scenarios. Automatic...
Processes that influence habitat selection in landscapes involve the interaction of habitat composition and configuration
and are particularly important for species with complex life cycles. We assessed the relative influence of landscape spatial
processes and local habitat characteristics on patterns in the distribution and abundance of spawning steelhead
(Oncorhynchus mykiss),...

The 2014 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP 2014) presents time-dependent earthquake probabilities for the third Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF3). Building on the UCERF3 time-independent model published previously, renewal models are utilized to represent elastic-rebound-implied probabilities. A new methodology has been developed that solves applicability issues in...
The 2014 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities
(WGCEP14) present the time-independent component of the Uniform California
Earthquake Rupture Forecast, Version 3 (UCERF3), which provides authoritative
estimates of the magnitude, location, and time-averaged frequency of potentially
damaging earthquakes in California. The primary achievements have been to relax
fault segmentation and...
Engaging large numbers of undergraduates in authentic scientific discovery is desirable but difficult to achieve. We
have developed a general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a
research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics. The course...

Potentially carcinogenic compounds may cause cancer through direct DNA damage or through indirect cellular or physiological effects. To study possible carcinogens, the fields of endocrinology, genetics, epigenetics, medicine, environmental health, toxicology, pharmacology and oncology must be considered. Disruptive chemicals may also contribute to multiple stages of tumor development through effects...
