overland flow and sediment production were different in
logged (on snow, frozen soil, and prescribed skid trails)
and nonlogged sites in a Pinus ponderosa Laws.!

Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine
microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying
mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant
marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant
microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...
A life course perspective provide a meta-theoretical framework to understand human development. This perspective is characterized by studying the changing lives within the changing environment (George, 2004). Building upon the literature in the psychosocial paradigm and ecological models, Manuscript 1 discusses the uniqueness and the practical importance of a life...
The results of my research suggest that tadpoles of the Western
toad (Bufo boreas) and the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae) display an
alarm response to chemicals from injured conspecific tadpoles.
Furthermore, results suggest that the Bufo boreas alarm response can
be elicited by a natural predator when it feeds on...
This work is concerned with determining whether nicotine has a role in promoting oxidative damage in human tissue, particularly in lung tissue. This follows from recent reports of a novel lung disease found in some E-cigarette users, characterized by oxidative damage and elevated levels of neutrophils (termed “vaping disease”). It...
