While it can be said that peer mentor-mentee relationships in college can lead to meaningful connections and interpersonal support, there is a lack of literature about how exactly mentor-relationship connections are made. This study examines the relationship building strategies that peer mentors used to connect with their mentees in the...
Biliary excretion has been of considerable interest in mammals
but has not been extensively studied in fish. To understand the
significance of biliary excretion in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri),
two studies were conducted.
The objective of the initial study was to evaluate the ability of
rainbow trout to excrete a...
There is evidence that recent ecological changes in lakes and their watersheds can be detected from analysis of lake sediments. This study was initiated to correlate
changes in some sediment characteristics of four Oregon lakes with past cultural developments of the lakes and their watersheds. The lakes chosen for this...
Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies were employed to evaluate cattle occupancy of three landscape attributes on three different grazing allotments administered by the Wallowa Whitman National Forest in Northeast Oregon. Topographic characteristics of slope; 0-4%, 4-12%, 12-35% and >35% were evaluated as well as north...
Clinical methods to diagnose specific organ dysfunction have not been evaluated in fishes. To determine if an accepted clinical test of mammalian liver function could be applied to fishes, the
hepatic disposition of the organic anion sulfobromophthalein (BSP) was studied in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) treated with a model hepatotoxicant....
Studies were initially conducted to determine the action of
intravenous serotonin on perfused segments of human umbilical
cords in vitro. Intravenous serotonin, via bolus injection or
continuous infusion, was found to elevate venous perfusion pressure,
while intra-arterial serotonin failed to alter venous pressure.
Norepinephrine, administered to the venous perfusate, was...
Pineal hydroxyindole-0-methyltransferase (HIOMT) activity
was monitored over a 24 h period under three different photoperiods,
16L:8D, 8L: 16D, and 12 L:12D. It was observed that in all three
groups of fish HIOMT activity was high' during the dark portion of the
photoperiod in comparison to activity during the light portion....
