Acids contribute important flavor characteristics to
many foods and beverages. They occur naturally in these
products, arise from fermentation processes, or can be
added. Most acids taste sour. However, little is known
about their time-intensity characteristics of sourness.
This project was set forth to see if selected acids could be...
Literary fairy tales facilitate a specific inquiry into heroine quests. Due to the flexibility of the fairy tale genre, a variety of heroine tales have been produced. The specific stages of a heroine quest must be described in order to understand the direction and goals of these quests. In order...
The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...
Biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, but many naturalized invaders coexist with the native community. Community ecology theory provides a framework for understanding the mechanisms by which invaders might coexist with native species or exclude them from the community, thus informing management practices to maximize...
Animal welfare is an essential component of agricultural production and animal use in teaching and research. However, defining animal welfare is intrinsically difficult because of how history and societal values and perceptions have shaped the term. Animal welfare encompasses three main ideas: physical well-being, normal affective/emotional states, and the ability...
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Hyb-Seq, the combination of target enrichment and genome skimming
allows simultaneous data collection for low-copy nuclear genes and high-copy genomic targets
for plant systematics and evolution studies.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Genome and transcriptome assemblies for milkweed (Asclepias syriaca)
were utilized to design enrichment probes for 3385...
Background: Although both transgender adults and adults living with disabilities struggle to access healthcare, both populations are underserved and understudied. Existing research either examines transgender adults and adults with disabilities as separate groups or frames disability as a health outcome a transgender person may experience. Health care utilization and health...
The distribution of total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, monomeric anthocyanin, and ascorbic acid contents in the peel and flesh of Red Delicious, Granny Smith, and Fuji apples during a six-month storage period were determined. In addition, the effect of 1-MCP (1-Methyl cyclopropene) on these parameters of the edible portion of apples...
Despite knowledge that concerted evolution of high-copy loci is often imperfect,
studies that investigate the extent of intragenomic polymorphisms and comparisons
across a large number of species are rarely made. We present a bioinformatic pipeline
for characterizing polymorphisms within an individual among copies of a high-copy
locus. Results are presented...

In August of 2011, Jenny Minten came across an old coffin, complete with a skeleton, in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Scio lodge. After it was determined that the skeleton did not represent a modern forensic case, the remains were donated to the Oregon State University Anthropology Department....
