Using satellite sea surface height (SSH) and chlorophyll (CHL), the year 2000 is analyzed to characterize the effects of mesoscale circulation patterns on phytoplankton spatial variability in the California Current (CC) off Baja California. Satellite data are combined with and compared to in situ field measurements (chlorophyll-a and hydrographic variables)...
Mean fields, seasonal cycles, and interannual variability are examined for fields of
satellite-derived chlorophyll pigment concentrations (CHL), sea surface height (SSH), and
sea surface temperature (SST) during 1997–2002. The analyses help to identify three
dynamic regions: an upwelling zone next to the coast, the Ensenada Front in the north,
and...
This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of maturity, mold contamination and variety on the color quality of strawberry wines. Indices for acceptability were determined using instrumental measurements and sensory analysis. Compositional analyses were done on the fully ripe and overripe Benton and Totem strawberries. Included were anthocyanin content,...
Fruit juice concentrates- hard pear, soft pear, fig,
prune, raisin, white grape, and pineapple, and sweeteners-invert
beet, invert cane, and high fructose corn syrup
(HFCS) were characterized by sugar profiles, nonvolatile
acid profiles, UV spectral profiles, and mineral content.
These fruit juices and sweeteners were also used to
adulterate commercial...
Radio frequency identification (RFID) has long been regarded as an automated data collection technology that promises solutions to inefficiencies found in supply chains such as “just-in-case” inventory stock, inventory obsolescence, stockouts, and theft. However, the disappointingly slow return on RFID investment has forced companies to examine and redefine RFID initiatives....
The purpose of this manuscript style dissertation was to increase understanding of the experiences of counselor's with compassion fatigue as they participated in a yoga intervention. Compassion fatigue is a condition that creates both physical and psychological impairment as a result of working in the helping role. Yoga is an...
Objective: To examine the prevalence and identify correlates of food insecurity among students attending a rural university in Oregon. Methods: Cross-sectional non-probability survey of 354 students attending a midsize rural university in Oregon during May 2011. Main outcome was food insecurity measured using the USDA Household Food Security Survey Module:...
The study of the effects of diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC) in some diseases is in focus for many years. However, DEDTC is a metal chelator that can present neurotoxicity as side effects. Here we investigate the effect of DEDTC on brain Zinc (Zn) content and behavior. To address this issue we used...
I compare the seasonal abundance variation, population dynamics, fecundity, egg hatching mechanism and success, and apostome ciliate parasites of the euphausiids Euphausia pac?fica and Thysanoessa spinfera from the Oregon coast, USA. Community structure and nearshore distributions were examined from bi-weekly oceanographic surveys (1970-1972). This region has a strong cross-shelf change...
The purpose of this is study is to investigate the experiences of students in Latino/Latina fraternities and sororities. Five students were selected to take part of the study and were interviewed using a qualitative case study methodology grounded in critical race theory. Five themes were identified: the support system that...
