Fine and coarse particles were collected for eight weeks during the
summer of 1991, at a coastal site (Yaquina Head) and a non-industrial site
(Corvallis) in Western Oregon to characterize the aerosol composition and
evaluate whether the sites are appropriate for sampling "background" marine
air. Concentrations of up to 11...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and stability of
the gas-injection enhanced natural circulation in heavy-liquid-metal-cooled systems.
The target system is STAR-LM, which is a 400-MWt-class advanced lead-cooled
fast reactor under development by Argonne National Laboratory and Oregon State
University. The primary loop of STAR-LM relies...
Due to the rapid growth of wireless technology, there has been a growing interest in the capabilities of ad hoc networks connecting mobile phones, PDAs and laptop computers. The distributed and self-configurable capabilities of ad hoc networks make them very attractive for some applications such as tactical communication for military,...

Lepidopteran nucleopolyhedroviruses are members of the Baculoviridae and have been categorized as having two morphotypes of occluded virions: multiple nucleocapsids or single nucleocapsids within the virion envelope. Although it is a definitive characteristic of specific viruses, it appears to lack a defined genetic basis and is independent of virus phylogeny....
The prevalence of Tropilaelaps mercedesae and Varroa destructor in concurrently infested A. mellifera colonies in Thailand was monitored. We also assessed the fecundity of T. mercedesae and V. destructor in naturally infested brood and in brood cells deliberately infested with both mite genera. Results showed that the natural co-infestation of...
