One hundred and fourty-one lambs showing signs of pneumonia
and/or enteritis from four different flocks in western Oregon were
sampled for virus isolation. Two ovine adenoviruses, antigenically
distinct from each other and from bovine adenoviruses, were
isolated from the nasal mucosa and feces of two lambs. The lambs
were showing...
The practice of dietetics has changed over the
past several years to include an increasing number of
dietitians working in private practice. The 1986 census
of The American Dietetic Association identified
2,383 (4.3%) of the membership as active in the Consulting
Nutritionist in Private Practice group. Private

The purpose of this study was to assess the usage of distance education in undergraduate dietetics programs. Additionally, the possibility of obtaining an undergraduate degree in dietetics via distance education was examined. The population receiving the survey research was all directors (279) of Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE)...
BACKGROUND: To examine the association between objectively measured light-intensity and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behaviors, and biological markers in a national
sample of U.S. pregnant women, as few studies have examined these relationships among this population.
METHODS: The sample of noninstitutionalized U.S. civilians was selected by a complex, multistage...
Nitrate reductase is known to be the enzyme regulating the
reduction of nitrate to nitrite in plants. This reduction is the first
and rate-limiting step in the transformation of inorganic nitrate to
a cellular nitrogen form. Since this reduction process is essential
to phytoplankton growth when nitrate is the only...
With the increased production and use of double knit fabrics
made from textured filament polyester, homemakers have become
concerned over procedures for care that can be successfully carried
out in the home. The purpose of this study was to determine what
effects wash water temperatures and drying methods have on...
Population dynamics, plant communities, and abiotic environments of three narrowly endemic, allopatric mariposa lilies (Calochortus Pursh) are described and compared. All were restricted to ultramafic soils in southwestern Oregon with high concentrations of nickel, zinc, and chromium, and low calcium to magnesium ratios. Soils inhabited by the three species differed...
The Antarctic Ocean during the Cenozoic experienced four periods of increased surface productivity: the Middle Eocene; the beginning of the Miocene; the Middle Miocene; and near the Miocene-Pliocene boundary. The fourth increase in productivity began five
million years ago and has since progressively increased to the present level of intense...
Cook-Chill Foodservice System was a new alternative foodservice
system in the 1960s. Food items in Cook-Chill Foodservice Systems are
prepared and chilled in advance of service, stored in inventory, and then
rethermalized before consumption.
The purpose of this research was to evaluate Cook-Chill Systems from
the foodservice manager's view. The...
