Global warming and on-going depletion of fossil fuels have stimulated research to develop renewable sources of energy. Current renewable energy use comprises only 10% of the energy consumed in the US and is focused mostly on generating electricity. The majority of the energy consumed by the US transportation sector is...

Rapid emergency response decisions from a radiation release are necessary in
order to prevent the general public from being exposed to a potential radiation hazard.
A one meter exposure rate measurement is all that is necessary to establish relocation
and food control areas when the ground is contaminated at the...
Four sampling techniques were evaluated to estimate clover aphid, Nearctaphis bakeri
(Cowen), abundance in red clover fields in the Willamette Valley. The Berlese funnel method
detected one to four times more aphids than other sampling techniques. Visual assessment
often underestimated the high aphid densities during the flowering and seeding of...
We evaluated the effects of herbage removal from livestock grazing on Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) habitat use by monitoring frog locations in grazed and matched ungrazed treatments across a range of grazing intensities at Jack Creek, Fremont-Winema National Forest, Oregon. Thirteen cattle exclosures were deployed along Jack Creek in...
The life history, temperature, humidity, and feeding requirements of the
phytoseiid predator mite, Typhlodromus americanus Chant and Yoshida-Shaul were
tested in the laboratory. Occurance of the mite in the field during different times of the
year was investigated as well. Effects of temperature and humidity on egg hatch, the
feeding...
Three Oregon snap beans were tested for photoperiodic
response on the basis of their overall flowering
patterns. Oregon 1604 and Oregon 4848 showed the same
cumulative flowering curves and percent pod set under
both 11 hour SD and 16 hour LD photoperiods. Under SD,
Oregon 2065 produced a similar flowering...
