Forests are major components of the global carbon cycle, providing
substantial feedback to atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations¹.
Our ability to understand and predict changes in the forest carbon
cycle—particularly net primary productivity and carbon storage—increasingly relies on models that represent biological processes
across several scales of biological organization, from tree...

The need for increased efficiency in regeneration of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) requires greater understanding of seedling physiology. Experiments examined western hemlock seedling growth responses to in-bed root pruning, and pruning of shoots or roots prior to transplanting. Measurement of plant
moisture stress (PMS) after physical root disturbance,...
Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacteriwn rhizogenes, the causal agents of crown gall disease and hairy root disease, are known for their ability to transfer part of their
DNA (the T-DNA) from the bacterial tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid to the genome of the
host plant. Interest has focused on these bacteria because they...
This thesis reports the results of a study on the influence of biologically
stabilized kraft mill effluent (SKME) on the food relations and
production of juvenile chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tschawytscha
(Walbaum), in laboratory streams. Experiments were conducted at
the Oak Creek Fisheries Research Laboratory, Oregon State University,
during 1967 and...

A tracer method utilizing stable activable tracers (involving rare earth nuclides with short-lived t[subscript 1/2] < 1 day} activation products) for tracing fluid bound substances in fresh water is explored. Simulated laboratory studies showed these tracers (Dy and in) when chelated with diethylenetriamine2entaacetic acid a7i1W to be stable ( <20%)...
OBJECTIVE: The associations substance use has with sex and condom use among college students appear to be well-documented and of clear public health significance. However, few event-level studies examine marijuana or heavy alcohol use, control for temporal patterns shared among these behaviors, or consider differences by relationship status. METHOD: We...
An Expert Panel convened by the National Lipid Association previously developed a consensus set of recommendations for the patient-centered management of dyslipidemia in clinical medicine (part 1). These were guided by the principle that reducing elevated levels of atherogenic cholesterol (non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) reduces the risk...
