Vertical cross-sections of temperature in the Sargasso Sea and across
the Gulf Stream and a warm core ring were obtained with a towed thermistor
chain in September 1981. The thermistors were distributed in the upper
70 to 120 m during three runs. Salinity was also measured at two locations
on...
Observations of temperature and pressure in the upper 100 m were taken with a towed thermistor chain in January 1980 north of Hawaii. The observations were taken as a part of a cooperative investigation of the North Pacific subtropical front entitled FRONTS-80. The chain was towed on four occasions over...
Observations of temperature between 20 and 40 m depth were made with a towed thermistor chain in the North Pacific (50N, 145 W) during the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE). The chain was usually towed at a speed of 3 m/s around a 20km square on alternate days for a three-week...
Many nurseries are considering soil moisture sensor networks to improve water application efficiency. Due to
the necessarily wide distribution of sensors at a nursery, a wireless network is easier to install, more flexible, and can be
scaled up as needed without re-design as compared to a traditional wired sensor network....
A previous study showed that ammonia oxidation by the Thaumarchaeota Nitrosopumilus maritimus (group 1.1a) was resistant
to concentrations of the C₈ 1-alkyne, octyne, which completely inhibits activity by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. In this study, the
inhibitory effects of octyne and other C₂ to C₁₀ 1-alkynes were evaluated on the nitrite production...
Observations of temperature and pressure between 10 and 70 m depth
were taken with a towed thermistor chain during late August and early September, 1978, about 400 km northwest of Scotland as a part of the JASIN Experiment. The chain was usually towed at a speed of 3 mis around...
The present studies investigated the cellular mechanisms for the detrimental effects of high dose whole body γ-irradiation on bone. In addition, radioadaptation and bone marrow transplantation were assessed as interventions to mitigate the skeletal complications of irradiation. Increased trabecular thickness and separation and reduced cancellous bone volume fraction, connectivity density,...
This report is an update of shellfish investigations from April 1961-March 1962. It includes a summary of observations of clam conditions, and discusses a Netarts Bay clam mortality, which drove the Fish Commission to ask the Tillamook County Court to inform them of any future construction projects involving estuaries. It...
Seagrasses and bivalves co-occur worldwide, and each plays a role in the structure, function, and services of coastal ecosystems. While seagrasses are declining, bivalve aquaculture is expanding, and impacts from culture practices, as opposed to the cultured organisms themselves, need to be distinguished. In 2 experiments, we tested the effects...
The fungus Fusarium fujikuroi causes "bakanae" disease of rice due to its ability to produce gibberellins (GAs), but it is also known for producing harmful mycotoxins. However, the genetic capacity for the whole arsenal of natural compounds and their role in the fungus' interaction with rice remained unknown. Here, we...
