The use of terbacil for weed control was adapted by a high percentage
of Oregon peppermint growers soon after its introduction in
1967. To help clarify some of the implications of terbacil usage,
three studies were undertaken to collect information concerning (a)
the movement and build-up of terbacil in various...
This simulation is a model for a tidal power-peaking plant that
can be used to determine the electrical peaking generation for a given
set of conditions.
The simulation internally contains a tide producing function
for a specific year, the hydraulic characteristics of the plant, and the
plant's machines' characteristics. The...
This paper describes a study done on swinging and processing whole tree, tree length and log length pieces in a smallwood Douglas-fir thinning. Two machines were evaluated, a 70 horsepower rubber tired skidder and a hydraulic loader mounted on a 6 x 4 live tandem truck.
The study took place...
OBJECTIVE. To quantify the association between admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) room most recently occupied by a patient positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (EBSL)-producing gram-negative bacteria and acquisition of infection or colonization with that pathogen.
DESIGN. Retrospective cohort study.
SETTING AND PATIENTS. The study included patients admitted to medical...
In many databases, biocuration primarily involves literature curation, which usually involves retrieving relevant articles, extracting information that will translate into annotations and identifying new incoming literature. As the volume of biological literature increases, the use of text mining to assist in biocuration becomes increasingly relevant. A number of groups have...
Cotoneaster is a genus of ornamental landscape plants commonly affected by fire blight. Fire blight is a disease caused by the bacterial pathogen, Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) Winslow et al. that attacks a wide range of taxa in the apple subfamily (Maloideae; Rosaceae). To assess susceptibility of species and identify potential...
A systems trial was established to evaluate factorial management practices for organic production of northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). The practices included: flat and raised planting beds; feather meal and fish emulsion fertilizer applied at 29 and 57 kg·ha⁻¹of nitrogen (N); sawdust mulch, compost topped with sawdust mulch (compost...
There is growing realization of the potential for games and experiments as powerful tools not only for research, but also for education and outreach. Experiments are particularly powerful and useful for fisheries economists because (a) they can vividly illustrate some fundamental concepts and (b) are effective at testing the relative...
