Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is a forest tree native to
a small area of Oregon and California. A root disease caused by
Phytophthora lateralis causes widespread mortality of Port-Orford-cedar.
This dissertation examines three important elements of the Port-Orford-cedar
P. lateralis pathosystem related to breeding for disease resistance:
use of resistant rootstocks...
The volatile flavor fraction of lightly milled wheat grown in
eastern Oregon was isolated for study by two methods: steam distillation
under vacuum and steam distillation at atmospheric pressure.
The sample obtained under vacuum was extracted with ether
which was then evaporated to yield the desired wheat essence.
Steam distillation...
Observations, primarily from satellites, have shown a statistical relationship between the surface wind stress and underlying sea surface temperature (SST) on intermediate space and time scales, in many regions inclusive of eastern boundary upwelling current systems. In this paper, this empirical SST–wind stress relationship is utilized to provide a simple...
Eddy detection and tracking algorithms are applied to both satellite altimetry and a
high‐resolution (dx = 5 km) climatological model solution of the U.S. West Coast to study
the properties of surface and undercurrent eddies in the California Current System.
Eddy properties show remarkable similarity in space and time, and...
In this study, uncoupled and coupled ocean–atmosphere simulations are carried out for the California Upwelling System to assess the dynamic ocean–atmosphere interactions, namely, the ocean surface current feedback to the atmosphere. The authors show the current feedback, by modulating the energy transfer from the atmosphere to the ocean, controls the...
In his works, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Ulysses
(1922), James Joyce demonstrates what he perceives to be the paralyzing effects of
those institutionalized religions that sit at the center of cultures. Drawing on Michel
Foucault's analysis of institutional dressage as well as his...
