Denitrification is classically defined as the microbial reduction
of nitrate and nitrite with the liberation of molecular nitrogen
and, in some instances, nitrous oxide. The sequence of reactions
in which nitrogen is evolved as an end-product is essentially a
respiratory mechanism in which nitrate and/or nitrite replaces
molecular oxygen. The...
This study examines the ways in which community college transfer students develop a sense of belonging at the four-year institution. This inquiry was guided by a constructivist epistemology and qualitative methodology. Data was collected through conducting one-on-one interviews and focus groups to gather information on how transfer students develop a...
¹¹¹In/Cd perturbed angular correlation (PAC) gamma spectroscopy was used to
study the point defect thermodynamics of tetragonal zirconia (t-zirconia).
PAC can be used to measure, among other things, oxygen vacancy defect
concentrations in t-zirconia. Higher than expected concentrations of oxygen vacancies in
undoped samples were found using PAC. It was...
Complete cluster zone leaf removal of 'Pinot noir' was initiated at three separate pre-veraison growth stages (bloom, grain-pea size, and bunch closure) and maintained leaf free until harvest, for four growing seasons (2008-2011). Fruit anthocyanin composition was examined at harvest for the last two vintages (2010 and 2011) and compared...
Natural resource policymakers and planners increasingly rely on regional and national-level spatial data describing projections of future housing growth, to anticipate development impacts on natural resources and identify policy and planning needs. Such projections have not always been well-grounded in demographic and other factors that influence population and thus housing...

Natural resource policymakers and planners increasingly rely on regional and national-level spatial data describing projections of future housing growth, to anticipate development impacts on natural resources and identify policy and planning needs. Such projections have not always been well-grounded in demographic and other factors that influence population and thus housing...
We examined high-resolution cross-shelf distributions of particulate organic carbon
(POC) and dissolved O₂ during the upwelling season off the Oregon coast. Oxygen
concentrations were supersaturated in surface waters, and hypoxic in near-bottom
waters, with greatly expanded hypoxic conditions late in the season. Simplified time-dependent
mass balances on cross-shelf integrated concentrations...
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been subject to long-term and continuing declines in population and habitat since European settlement of western North America. Increased wildfire activity constitutes a primary threat to the species in western portions of their range, with documented declines in wildfire-affected populations. Following a 187,000-ha wildfire in...
