This research was undertaken to provide barley growers, processors, and consumers with quality food barley. Because all currently available varieties of food barley are of spring growth habit, the first phase of the research involved agronomic assessment of these varieties under Oregon conditions. Because winter barley usually yields more than...
Tree-like patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Botanical trees, river networks, and blood systems are the most well-known examples of complex hierarchical systems met in observations. Interestingly, many of such systems exhibit statistical self-similarity. There are two main types of self-similarity: Horton self-similarity and Tokunaga self-similarity. Although there is an increased...
Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is an important component of heart-healthy
whole grain diets because it contains β-glucan. All current US barley
varieties with high β-glucan are spring habit and have waxy starch. Winter
varieties have agronomic advantages but require low-temperature tolerance
(LTT). Vernalization sensitivity (VS) is associated with higher
levels of...

Large “hypercarnivorous” felids are recognized for their role as apex predators and hence as key elements in food webs and ecosystem functioning through competition and depredation. Here we show that cougars (Puma concolor), one of the largest and the most widely ranging apex felid predators with a strictly carnivorous diet,...
This research project is an historical case study of the conflict
which evolved from the deliberations and subsequent implementation
of bilingual education in Central School District 13J, Independence,
Oregon. The time period under consideration spans 35 months,
beginning in August 1974, when district officials first proposed bilingual
education, and ending...
Four studies were conducted in the llama (Lama glama) evaluating changes in reproductive physiology, vaginal cytology, and growth. Study I. Temporal changes in vaginal cytology were correlated with alterations in serum estradiol -17β and progesterone concentrations. A 2 * 2 factorial study examined the treatment effects of a) concurrent male...
Altar (31º 29’ S, 70º 28’ W) is a large porphyry Cu-(Au-Mo) deposit with associated
epithermal Au-(Ag-Cu) veins located in the Cordillera Principal of SW San Juan Province
(Argentina). Altar is a complex magmatic-hydrothermal system formed from several
magmatic and hydrothermal pulses during the middle-late Miocene. New LA-ICPMS U-Pb
ages...
Based on the evoked set analysis, a group of factors driving knowledge and preferences about fish farmed species are investigated with three different samples. Samples were collected in Spain, into a nationwide study about knowledge and assessments about aquaculture, funded by the General Secretary of Marine Fisheries of the Spanish...
