The move from hazardous waste management to pollution
prevention is viewed as a paradigm shift in American
industry. Pollution prevention involves source reduction to
reduce the amount of hazardous waste that is generated, and
recycling of those wastes that cannot be prevented within
the production process. The first piece of...
The AAPD recommends placement of dental pit and fissure sealants on surfaces that are high risk or that already exhibit incipient carious lesions. Protection provided by sealants may be enhanced by the addition of ion-releasing, anti-microbial filler particles of bioactive glass.
Objective: We prepared novel dental pit and fissure sealant...
The enhanced optical nonlinearity enabled by localized plasmonic fields has been well studied for all-optical switching processing (AOSP) devices for future optical communication systems. In this work, plasmonic photonic crystals with a nonlinear polycarbonate/polymethine blend cladding layer are designed to enhance the third harmonic generation (THG) at the telecom wavelengths...
Background:
Mapping and map-based cloning of genes that control agriculturally and economically important traits remain great challenges for plants with complex highly repetitive genomes such as those within the grass tribe, Triticeae. Mapping limitations in the Triticeae are primarily due to low frequencies of polymorphic gene markers and poor genetic...

Recent observations from spaceborne microwave sensors have revealed detailed structure of the surface
flow over the equatorial eastern Pacific in the boreal fall season. A marked acceleration of surface wind
across the northern sea surface temperature (SST) front of the cold tongue is a prominent feature of the
regional climate....
The theme for the 1989 Starker Lectures concerned uncertainty surrounding forests and forestry in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. It was a timely theme.
Indeed, the uncertainties concerning trade-offs among commodity production
and environment and the allocation of forest land, especially public lands, loom large as we enter the decade...
Although early adversity has been linked to worse mental and physical health in adulthood, few studies have investigated the pathways through which positive and negative dimensions of early experiences can jointly influence psychological well-being in later life. This study examined: (a) profiles of early experiences across multiple domains, (b) the...
