Effects of 4-inch (10.16 cm) suction dredge mining on benthic macroinvertebrates in 3rd to 4th order streams were investigated in 1996 by evaluating four mining claim operations in Althouse Creek, Sucker Creek, and Taylor Creek in southwestern Oregon's Rogue River basin. The effects were site-specific. The study showed no significant...
A heat stable protease was identified as the cause of textural degradation in cooked arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias) muscle. Maximum proteolytic activity in the fish muscle was observed between 55°C and 60°C and myosin heavy chain appeared to be the primary substrate for the enzyme. Degradation of this myofibrillar protein...
The effects of different dietary lipids on the growth, nutrition
and tissue lipid profiles of rainbow trout raised to market size on a
commercially available ration were examined. Rainbow trout of 80 g
mean initial weight were fed pellets prepared according to Oregon
Moist Pellet specifications for 20 weeks. Salmon...
Background: Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) breed almost exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere. However, since the early 1980's, a small disjunct breeding population has become established in eastern Argentina, presumably by birds previously derived from those breeding in North America. Currently, it is unknown where these individuals go following breeding and...
Rapamycin was found to increase (11% to 16%) the lifespan of male and female C57BL/6J mice most likely by reducing the
increase in the hazard for mortality (i.e., the rate of aging) term in the Gompertz mortality analysis. To identify the pathways
that could be responsible for rapamycin’s longevity effect,...

Rapamycin (Rapa) and dietary restriction (DR) have consistently
been shown to increase lifespan. To investigate whether Rapa
and DR affect similar pathways in mice, we compared the effects
of feeding mice ad libitum (AL), Rapa, DR, or a combination of
Rapa and DR (Rapa + DR) on the transcriptome and...
