The objectives in this research were to assess whether Klebsiella planticola
SDF20 could survive in soil and result in ecological effects to soil foodweb
organisms and plant growth. Four experiments were conducted using soil
microcosms. Klebsiella planticola SDF20 has been genetically engineered to
produce ethanol from agricultural waste for use...
Recent observational programs to understand the coastal ocean, like the Oregon Coastal Ocean Observing System (OrCOOS) are under development (www.orcoos.org). A challenge in facing observing systems is achieving spatial and temporal coverage at scales that are useful for ocean modeling. Observational buoys are relatively few and towed arrays and gliders...
This paper presents an overview of cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). The technology of cogeneration is described and the three primary cogeneration processes are discussed. The transition between parallel operation with the utility and stand-alone operation is discussed. The tradeoff between a synchronous and an induction...
Fire is an important disturbance mechanism in big sagebrush (Artemisia
tridentata) communities, yet little is known about wildlife population dynamics during
post-fire habitat succession. I estimated the abundance of small mammals and birds in
relation to fire history in mountain big sagebrush (A.t. spp. vaseyana) communities on the
Sheldon National...
Cancer is class of diseases that has great diversity and unfortunately is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Chemotherapy remains an important cancer treatment modality, and superior chemotherapeutic drugs are constantly being sought. Gemcitabine is an anti-tumor chemotherapeutic drug and it is the first line...

Anaerobic digestion of lipid-extracted algal biomass has been proposed as a method to
recover and recycle nutrients in algal biofuel systems. The purpose of this study was to quantify recoverable nitrogen and phosphorus from anaerobically digested C. vulgaris. Recoverable nutrients were deemed those present in the liquid phase of anaerobic...

The smartphone is changing the way individuals interact with one another in society. Given the instant accessibility and multitude of socially iconic features, the contemporary handheld device grants users an unprecedented level of connectedness. However, despite the new breadth of access, perhaps the depth of the resulting social networks is...

Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...
