Background: Humanitarian relief agencies use scales to assess levels of critical food shortage to efficiently target and allocate food to the neediest. These scales are often labor-intensive. A lesser used approach is assessing gathering and consumption of wild food plants. This gathering per se is not a reliable signal of...
The garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, is a sexually monochromatic pomacentrid found in rocky subtidal areas of Southern and Baja California. During the spawning season, males attempt to attract females to a nest of red algae located within individually defended territories. Females were observed to enter the nests of several males before...
I examined two aspects of the reproductive behavior of the garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, a temperate marine damselfish with male parental care. My primary objective was to determine the relationship between female choice and male parental investment in the care of offspring. In particular, I sought to determine: (1) how the...
The Great Salt Lake is typical of Great Basin
and other arid land saline lakes in morphological and
chemical characteristics. As with other terminal
lakes, the level of Great Salt Lake is determined by
the variable weather patterns that are typical of
arid and semi-arid regions. Because of it's flat,...
The Oregon Department of Forestry, in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, offers this publication as a guide for cities and counties to use in the development of urban forest practice regulations.
This thesis comprises a series of tests run on a compound direct current generator and an induction motor; separately and combined as a set, with sheets of data; characteristic and efficiency curves and deduction drawn therefrom relative to the two machines.
This manuscript describes the role of non-classical hydrogen bonds (NCHBs), specifically C–H···O interactions, in modern synthetic organic transformations. Our goal is to point out the seminal examples where C–H···O interactions have been invoked as a key stereocontrolling element and to provide predictive value in recognizing future and/or potential C–H···O interactions...
We derive conditions for rotating particle detectors to respond in a variety of bounded spacetimes and
compare the results with the folklore that particle detectors do not respond in the vacuum state appropriate to
their motion. Applications involving possible violations of the second law of thermodynamics are briefly
addressed.
Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) sustainability is a topic of intense interest in forest ecology.
Reports range from declines to persisting or increasing coverage in some areas. Moreover, there is little
agreement on ultimate factors driving changes. Low aspen recruitment has been attributed to climate
patterns, past management, herbivore increases, competitive...
Through a phylogenetic study Using LECCYCIA nucleotide sequences and a survey of historical Botanical literature, we propose clarifications in the nomenclature of Lupinus oreganus and Lupinus biddlei. The former taxon has been incorrectly classified as Lupinus sulphurcus ssp. kincaidii and recently as L. oreganus var. kincaidii. The latter has recently...
