Three newborn, colostrum deprived calves were inoculated by the intranasal, intratracheal, conjunctival and oral routes with a subgroup II bovine adenovirus strain 7T. An initial viremia and febrile response occurred in all calves with widespread dissemination of the virus through the body. Clinical signs consisted of pyrexia, soft feces and...
Vegetation diversity in the Wyoming big sagebrush/Thurber needlegrass (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young/Achnatherum thurberianum (Piper) Barkworth. syn. Stipa thurberiana Piper) plant association was studied across a condition class gradient in southeastern Oregon. All observable vascular plant species were counted during 6 seasons and 2 years and diversity...
The purpose of this study was to investigate teaching models that may aid in
improving student's understanding of how to interpret graphs of kinematic variables.
The teaching models that were considered incorporated the use of cooperative groups
and calculator-based laboratory instruments, alone and in concert. The subjects used in
this...
Management in fire-prone ecosystems relies widely upon application of prescribed fire and/or fire surrogate (e.g., forest thinning) treatments to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function. Recently, published literature examining wildlife response to fire and fire management has increased rapidly. However, none of this literature has been synthesized quantitatively, precluding assessment of...
The relative contribution of various inorganic and organic forms of nitrogen to the nitrogen requirements of picoplankton was examined with 15N tracers. Size fractionation was used to measure uptake by <1-μM size microorganisms, and inhibitors of protein synthesis were used to separate procaryotic from eucaryotic nitrogen uptake, Picoplankton utilized mainly...
This is a set of documents and letters compromising a proposal by James McCauley to bring lobsters to the West Coast. The proposal involved the University of Rhode Island, the OSU Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, Oregon State University, and the Oregon Fish Commission. The letters are to several people,...
The difference between the temperature of the ocean at 4-cm and 2-m depth was continuously monitored during a cruise to the coastal transition zone off Point Arena, California (38°58′N, 123°45′W), during June 1987. The two temperatures were coincident most of the time but diverged during one nearshore leg of the...
