This paper is organized as follows. First, there is a
overview of the U.S. National Marine Sanctuary Program,
including program goals, history and present status, and
sanctuary locations. Trends in multiple use management,
sanctuary size, intergovernmental cooperation, Congressional
intervention in program management, public involvement, and
the 1992 Congressional reauthorization are...
The objective of this study was to characterize an unknown agent associated with decline in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) in Oregon. A virus was found consistently associated with decline symptoms of black raspberries and was named Black raspberry decline associated virus (BRDaV). Double stranded RNA extraction from BRDaV-infected black raspberry...
This study assessed implementation of the 1994 Water Protection Rules in the Oregon Forest Practices Act from the perspective of Rule users and post-harvest riparian conditions. A 1993 evaluation found that under the previous rules over half of riparian conifers were removed during harvest, prompting concerns about future sources of...
We report the intercalibration of paleomagnetic secular variation (PSV) and expanded postglacial sediment cores from geographically proximal, but sedimentologically contrasting settings. The objective is to improve relative what can be achieved with either method alone. Core MD99-2269 was taken from north Iceland shelf. Core MD99-2322 was collected from the Kangerlussuaq...
BACKGROUND: Whether limitation in ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) or gait speed can identify subgroups of elders in whom the association of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure with cardiovascular events and death differs is not well established.
METHODS: We evaluated whether ADL and gait speed...
Potential for large prairie remnants to provide habitat for grassland-obligate wildlife may be compromised by
nonsustainable range-management practices. In 1979–1980, high nesting densities of 3 species of hawks in the genus
Buteo—Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis), Red-tailed Hawk (B. jamaicensis), and Swainson’s Hawk (B. swainsoni)—were
documented on the Zumwalt Prairie and...

Drilling in the Cascadia accretionary complex enable us to evaluate the contribution of dehydration reactions and gas hydrate dissociation to pore water freshening. The observed freshening with depth and distance from the prism toe is consistent with enhanced conversion of smectite to illite, driven by increase in temperature and age...

Pseudomonas fluorescens WH6 secretes a germination-arrest factor (GAF) that we have
identified previously as 4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine. GAF irreversibly inhibits germination of the
seeds of numerous grassy weeds and selectively inhibits growth of the bacterial plant pathogen
Erwinia amylovora. WH6-3, a mutant that has lost the ability to produce GAF, contains a...
