This study investigates wind-driven circulation in the vicinity of the Heceta Bank complex along the Oregon shelf. Numerical experiments forced with steady winds (0.1 Pa) are conducted; upwelling and downwelling cases are compared. The asymmetric bank bathymetry is the only configurational difference from the symmetric bank runs analyzed in Part...
This study examines how coastal banks influence wind-driven circulation along stratified continental shelves. Numerical experiments are conducted for idealized symmetric banks; the standard bank (200 km long and 50 km wide) has dimensions similar to the Heceta Bank complex along the Oregon shelf. Model runs are forced with 10 days...
Three cross‐shelf transects were conducted off northern Oregon in February, 2003, coincident with flooding of Coast Range rivers, to assess the riverine impact on coastal ocean biogeochemistry. During downwelling conditions, low salinity river‐influenced water was located in a narrow band near the coast and contained elevated macronutrient, iron, and organic...
Aging, obesity and increased waist circumference (WC) increases risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is a cluster of symptoms (elevated WC, triglycerides, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]) increasing risk for chronic disease. Low-energy dense (LED) diets, emphasizing whole food eating patterns, have not been examined...
CantonS wild-type flies were used to determine sex-specific differences in the daily
locomotor activity patterns in males and females. Under light entrainment, when flies are
kept in a 12:12 light-dark condition, both males and females showed bimodal activity
with a morning peak around lights-on and an evening peak around lights...
Complete solid solutions with the composition Na₃M₂₋ₓM’ₓSbO₆ where M, M’ = Cu, Mg, Ni, Zn have been synthesized by conventional solid state techniques and were investigated using X-ray diffraction, magnetism and optical measurements. All compositions crystallize in a monoclinic unit cell and exhibit a layered structure with a honeycomb cationic...
A new compound Na3LiFeSbO6 has been synthesized by conventional solid state methods and
investigated using X-ray diffraction, DC magnetic susceptibility, 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy
and optical measurements. This compound crystallizes in a monoclinic unit cell and is related
to a family of honeycomb ordered layered oxide materials where Na+ fills octahedral...
Dietary selenium (Se) alters whole-blood Se concentrations in sheep, dependent upon Se source and dosage administered, but little is known about effects on immune function. We used footrot (FR) as a disease model to test the effects of supranutritional Se supplementation on immune function. To determine the effect of Se-source...
Density measurements of molten solutions of thallium
and tellurium have been made over the temperature range
220 to 650°C and the composition range 31 to 69 atomic
per cent thallium. The Archimedian method was employed
since it is readily adaptable to performing measurements
over wide ranges of temperature and composition...
Physical activity recognition using accelerometer data is a rapidly emerging field with many real-world applications. Much of the previous work in this area has assumed that the accelerometer data has already been segmented into pure activities, and the activity recognition task has been to classify these segments. In reality, activity...
