In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be drier. Human modifications of landscapes will also occur at an accelerated rate as developed areas increase in size and population density. We now...

In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be drier. Human modifications of landscapes will also occur at an accelerated rate as developed areas increase in size and population density. We now...
The objective of this study was to identify the varying effects of altering the rumen fluid: substrate ratio on the outcomes of in vitro rumen fermentation. In vitro fermentation is a useful tool for evaluating the energy value of feedstuffs and the effect of feed additives on Volatile Fatty Acid...
A continuous flow, gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm
reactor was developed to facilitate the treatment of polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs). The GPMS biofilm reactor consisted of a cylindrical
glass vessel made up of three compartments: the gas, liquid and
headspace compartments. A gas-permeable membrane separated the bottom
gas compartment from the liquid compartment....
A baroclinic, convective mixed-layer was modeled, using
water, in a laboratory convection tank identical to that
used in the free convection study of Deardorff and Willis
(1985). Baroclinicity and mean-flow shearing were achieved
by tilting the tank by an angle of 1O⁰. The resulting
mechanical-production rate of turbulence kinetic energy...
Chameleon is a physics-based landscape modeling software system designed for modeling and simulations applications. Hyperspectral laboratory, field, and imaging spectrometer measurements are collected as empirical foundation data. Linear spectral unmixing is performed to decompose each image pixel into spectral endmembers. Mathematical manipulation of these fractional abundances and introduction of new...
At present all vaccines for fish are primarily delivered either by injection or immersion which introduces added stress and labor. A more attractive method of vaccine delivery is oral administration using an enteric protection system, Enteric Coated Antigen Microspheres (ECAMs), which can be utilized for a variety of antigenic forms....
Heterospecific competition for carrion may influence community structure as dominant species are predicted to exploit subordinate, social species to find food. We used camera traps and ungulate carcasses to assess scavenger interactions in central Oregon. Preliminary analyses indicate that raptor arrival at carcasses correlated with arrival of ravens (Corvus corax)...
