The Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this study was to examine early teacher
attrition through a follow-up of Washington County teachers
in Oregon who left the profession with five years of experience
or less. Focus was given to background data and
areas of greatest professional concerns for former...

Conjugative plasmids are known to facilitate the acquisition and dispersal of genes contributing to the fitness of Pseudomonas spp. Here, we report the characterization of pA506, the 57-kb conjugative plasmid of Pseudomonas fluorescens A506, a plant epiphyte used in the United States for the biological control of fire blight disease...
We provide here a comparative genome analysis of ten strains within the Pseudomonas fluorescens group including seven new genomic sequences. These strains exhibit a diverse spectrum of traits involved in biological control and other multitrophic interactions with plants, microbes, and insects. Multilocus sequence analysis placed the strains in three sub-clades,...

Intercollegiate wrestling at Oregon State University had its
inception on March 20, 1909. On that day, the Oregon Agricultural
College wrestling team wrestled in a home meet against the team
from Washington State College. The Beavers, under the tutelage of
their first coach Eddie O'Connell, won their first intercollegiate meet,...
The bioavailability of vitamin B₆ in four selected foods
(bananas, filberts, soybeans and beef) was determined in five men,
aged 22 to 25 years, who were saturated with pyridoxine. The study
consisted of a five-day adjustment period followed by a 28-day experimental
period. All subjects consumed a constant diet containing...
