Relative to other systems in the PNW, the rain-dominated, coastal watersheds of western Oregon have shallow aquifers. Given the seasonality of streamflow and storage limitations in coastal, rain-dominated watersheds, changes in the temporal patterns of precipitation have the potential to magnify the risk of extreme streamflow conditions during both high-...

intensity values of...
Cellulolytic enzymes capable of efficiently degrading crystalline cellulose are a
complex mixture of endo- (endoglucanases) and exo-acting (cellobiohydrolases)
enzymes. One approach to separating these enzymes is affinity chromatography. A new
ligand, p-aminophenyl l-thio-β-D-cellobioside (APTC), is introduced for this purpose.
The property of APTC in affinity chromatography is demonstrated using Trichoderma...
