This article seeks to make a compelling case for authors’ rights training through emphasis on academic librarians’ dual roles as both authors and as liaisons to research and teaching faculty. Using the example of the Rights Well Workshop developed at Oregon State University Libraries, the article demonstrates the value of...
Due to its importance, the phenomenon of hydrogen
bonding has been the subject of much research over the
years. Among the different techniques used to study
hydrogen bonded systems, vibrational spectroscopy is
perhaps the most sensitive because of the striking
changes induced in molecular spectra by the formation of
hydrogen...
The United States Pacific Northwest is well known for its shellfish farming. Historically, commercial harvests were dominated by the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, but over-exploitation, habitat degradation, and competition and predation by non-native species has drastically depleted their densities and extirpated many local populations. As a result, shellfish aquaculture...
A study was undertaken in the Marys Peak watershed with the
following objectives. First, a classification of the major plant communities
was carried out. Second, some of the ecological features
of Acer circinatum that account for its distribution within these
communities were determined. The following plant communities
are described:
Corylus...
Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort) is a common weed in the
Pacific Northwest that contains toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids
(PAs). Jacobine, the major PA in Senecio jacobaea, was incubated
with rat liver microsomes and metabolites were isolated by high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified by mass
spectrometric analysis. Metabolites included a...
The object of this study was to investigate the possibilities
of inducing superovulation in the chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera)
by establishing the optimum dosage of pregnant mares' serum (PMS)
to produce a maximum ovulatory response, and to compare chinchilla
with other animals in this respect. Non-pregnant female chinchillas
were given a...
