In 1746, Dr John Buchanan, a recently retired medical officer in the British Army, produced a manuscript, 'Regimental Practice, or a Short History of Diseases common to His Majesties own Royal Regiment of Horse Guards when abroad (Commonly called the Blews).' Revised almost until the time of Buchanan's death in...
Grazing cattle usually have access to streams as a
source of drinking water. A model was developed for the
personal computer to predict the bacterial quality of
these streams. The model estimates the number of
organisms that enter the stream by the direct deposit of
feces and by runoff from...
Executive Summary
This report analyzes how land use regulations – and government programs
generally – have affected the value of private real property in Oregon. Its objective is to
inform discussion of the issues surrounding the current debate over Measure 37.
Measure 37 was passed in 2004 in response to...
Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have experienced declines throughout their range over the last 50 years. Long-term declines in sage-grouse abundance in Nevada and Oregon have been attributed to reduced productivity. From 1995-1997, sage-grouse production on Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR), Nevada was greater compared to Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge...
Since at least the 1970s, rural areas in the western United States, as elsewhere across the country and world, have been subject to social, economic, and political forces that have resulted in novel demographic and land tenure trends when compared to previous decades. Collectively, these processes of restructuring have created...

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) samples report elevated rates of substance use and substance use disorder compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts across a wide variety of substances (Connolly & Gilchrist, 2020; Krueger et al., 2020; Rice et al., 2019), in part due to the experience of minority stress....
During the first full school year of the Covid-19 pandemic, two central contexts for adolescent development—home and school—changed utterly. In Oregon, most middle- and high schoolers attended school entirely remotely from the beginning of the pandemic, in March, 2020, through the end of April, 2021, removing both the supports available...
The design and implementation of Switched-Current (SI) ladder filters is
described. SI filters require only a standard digital CMOS process and the power
supply voltage requirement is low. SI circuits also can be potentially operated at
higher frequencies than Switched-Capacitor (SC) filters due to the low-impedance
wideband nodes of the...
Small commercial and non-commercial animal enterprises (SCAEs) raise a few
beef cows, horses, pigs, sheep, poultry, and other animals on a few acres. These
enterprises are often located in suburban areas of watersheds and show potential for
degrading water quality through to increased bacterial, nitrogen, and phosphorus
concentrations. SCAEs implement...
Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes a variety of disease in animals and humans worldwide. Veterinary chlamydial pathogens can lead to chronic infections and serious consequences that result in millions of dollars of losses in animals and resources in the agricultural industry in countries that rear ruminants....
