The aroma of Tuber gibbosum, a native Oregon truffle, was
characterized using two distinct techniques. Volatile aroma
constituents were identified by chemical analysis, and sensory
characteristics were determined by examining response of the
general populace to the truffle aroma.
Truffle samples from four maturity ranges, as determined
by microscopic examination...
The phenomenon of phantom limb pain has been well documented for centuries, but little clinical work has been done to alleviate it. Physician and neuroscientist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran began researching this condition nearly two decades ago, and has discovered a promising alternative treatment: mirror-box therapy. This therapy is not yet...
Research on omega-3 fatty acids of marine origin consistently indicates the value of these substances to human health, while seafood processors face the challenge of creating value-added products rich in omega-3 compounds that consumers identify as being both healthful and tasty. In particular, albacore tuna is considered to have large...
Animal and plant species differ dramatically in their quality as hosts for multi-host pathogens, but the causes of this
variation are poorly understood. A group of small mammals, including small rodents and shrews, are among the most
competent natural reservoirs for three tick-borne zoonotic pathogens, Borrelia burgdorferi, Babesia microti, and...

Indigenous cultures perceive the natural environment as an essential link between traditional cultural
practices, social connectedness, identity, and health. Many tribal communities face substantial health
disparities related to exposure to environmental hazards. Our study used qualitative methods to better
understand the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) members’...
As people encroach increasingly on natural areas, one question is how this affects avian biodiversity.
The answer to this is partly scale-dependent. At broad scales, human populations and biodiversity
concentrate in the same areas and are positively associated, but at local scales people and biodiversity are
negatively associated with biodiversity....
