During the summer of 1967 a fertilizer survey was conducted
to determine the nutrient status of peppermint fields, the nutrient
concentration of plant tissue and the oil content of peppermint in
Oregon.
Plant and soil samples and the field's fertilizer history
were collected from cooperators in
Oregon's peppermint growing
areas...
Previous work on the rose mosaic virus has produced uncertainty
concerning the identity and properties of this virus. This work was
undertaken to help establish the true identity of the virus and to determine
some of its properties.
A mechanically transmissible virus associated with rose mosaic
virus disease of Rosa...
A study was conducted to characterize the vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi of commercially grown Easter lily. Monthly field soil and root samples were collected from March through September, 1975, from five fields in the coastal area of southern Oregon and northern California. Soil sievings were inoculated onto clover, onion and...
The Rohingya community have faced continuous violence, discrimination and statelessness in the Rakhine State of Myanmar. In 2017, a violent crackdown by Myanmar’s army on Rohingya Muslims sent almost a million fleeing across the border of Bangladesh. They found their temporary home in the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh...
Hexachlorophene (HCP; 2,2'-methylenebis-(3,4,6-trichlorophenol))
was developed as an antibacterial agent but was also found to induce
toxic effects in various tissues in animals and humans. Changes were
found in myelinated nerve fibers and cerebral white matter. Erythrocytes
are hemolysed in vitro. Oxidative phosphorylation is uncoupled
by HCP at concentrations less than...
A series of experiments were conducted from 1983 to 1985 to
determine the effects of dinoseb [2-(1-methylpropyl)-4,6-dinitrophenol]
on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) yields. Field trials
on dinoseb timing and dinoseb plus supplemental pesticides were
established in an effort to elucidate the possible factors involved in
the yield...
In the past 100 years since the birth of fisheries oceanography, research on the early life history of fishes, particularly the larval stage, has been extensive, and much progress has been made in identifying the mechanisms by which factors such as feeding success, predation, or dispersal can influence larval survival....
