Shotgun metagenomic DNA sequencing is a widely applicable tool for characterizing the functions that are encoded by microbial communities. Several bioinformatic tools can be used to functionally annotate metagenomes, allowing researchers to draw inferences about the functional potential of the community and to identify putative functional biomarkers. However, little is...
As blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) production has increased in recent decades, a new interest has developed in the cultivation of blueberry in soilless substrate containers. Historically, blueberry has been propagated and grown in soilless substrate at nurseries, but nursery production is short in duration and plants are small relative to a...
Large ignimbrite flare-ups provide records of profound crustal modification during batholith formation at depth. The locations of source calderas and volumes and ages of the eruptions must be determined to develop models for the tectonomagmatic processes that occur during these events. Although high-precision isotopic ages of the ignimbrites are critical,...
As entrepreneurship research has matured, scholars have increasingly recognized that the formation of new ventures is commonly accomplished by teams as opposed to lone entrepreneurs. Over the past two decades, the upper echelons perspective has served as the primary lens for investigating new venture team functioning and performance. However, researchers...
Contributing to the worldwide biodiversity crisis are emerging infectious diseases, which can lead to extirpations and extinctions of hosts. For example, the infectious fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is associated with worldwide amphibian population declines and extinctions. Sensitivity to Bd varies with species, season, and life stage. However, there is...
Basidiomycete fructifications collected at the research site were Cortina sp., Amanita sp., Armillaria sp., Polyporus abietinus,
Fomes annosus, Poria spp., Fomes pinicola, Coprinus spp., and Cantharellus cibarius.
Fungal organisms isolated from partially decomposed needles were phycomycetes and Fungi Imperfecti, and organisms isolated from
undecomposed needles were primarily yeasts ... The...
Two broiler feeding experiments were carried out to determine the feeding value of Pacific Northwest-grown soybeans. In both experiments, solvent soybean meal (SBM) protein, when replaced one to one with extruded soybean (ESB) protein, produced no significant effects on body weight, feed conversion and mortality. Protein from raw soybean (RSB)...
