OBJECTIVE: To establish a statewide network to detect, control, and prevent the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
in a region with a low incidence of CRE infection.
DESIGN: Implementation of the Drug Resistant Organism Prevention and Coordinated Regional Epidemiology (DROP-CRE) Network.
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Oregon infection prevention and microbiology laboratory...
New data are presented that provide evidence for the onset of extensional deformation in the Northwestern Basin and Range within 1 million years after the eruption of the Steens Basalt at 16.5 Ma. New geologic mapping (1:24,000), stratigraphic sections, and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of the Crane Basin rocks provide a control...
Fission product transport in a Gen. IV Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant utilizing vented fuel has been characterized using analytical and computational methods. The goal was to increase current understanding of fission product transport in helium-cooled GFRs using vented fuel and to provide a toolset for determining issues which may arise...

Fission product transport in a Gen. IV Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant
A limited scope Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) of a vented nuclear fuel system for a Generation IV Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant was performed. The goal of the study was to better understand the safety and licensing implications of vented fuel technology. A Level 1 PRA was performed to determine the...
Two concurrent trials were conducted to examine genetic and
environmental influences on growth rate, carcass fatness
and muscle fiber type proportions. Trial 1 compared
Polypay and Coopworth x Polypay male lambs either left
intact or castrated early, mid or late in growth. Trial
two compared Hampshire sired lambs (females, early...
The life history and wing pattern variation of the intertidal
shore bug, Saldula palustris (Douglas), were studied in field and
experimental populations from June 1970 until February 1972.
The study site was an estuarine salt marsh on Yaquina Bay
near Toledo, Oregon. The insects live below mean high water level...
The stages in the life history of the parasitic copepod Nectobrachia
indivisa Fraser, 1920, have been described.
The adult female lives permanently attached to the gills of the
starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus (Pallas, 1811) Girard, 1854.
The adult male is a dwarf, which usually lives attached to the genital
process...
The Seaman Gulch area is located approximately 20
miles east of Redding, California and is part of the
eastern Klamath lithotectonic belt.
Rock units of the area are chiefly mafic and silicic
volcanics of island arc affinity and shale that are Permian
to Triassic in age. Volcanic rocks of Tertiary...
