A web-based survey was conducted to investigate the relationships between adopters and the dogs they adopted from three types of rescue groups/organizations: humane societies, greyhound rescues, and pit bull rescues. The dog selected to adopt can vary for many reasons, one of which is breed preference. This study found dog...
The efficacy of the morantel sustained release bolus (MSRB) in reducing gastrointestinal parasitism in first season grazing calves was evaluated during the summer-fall grazing seasons of 1982 and 1983 in western Oregon. Thirty-eight calves (1982) and 40 calves (1983) were randomly assigned to a control and treatment group each season....
The efficacy of a new broad-spectrum anthelmintic, Netobimin[subscript R]
(coded SCH 32481-Schering Corporation) was evaluated in two trials
conducted during either the spring or fall grazing seasons of 1984 in
Western Oregon using 20 cross-bred yearling beef heifers and 30
cross-bred spring lambs, respectively. Percent efficacies were
determined in both...
A study was initiated to 1) determine which species of
gastrointestinal nematodes are present in cattle in selected areas of
Oregon, 2) examine the seasonal abundance of these nematodes as an
indicator of periods of transmission and 3) determine at what season
developmental inhibition occurs in the major genera of...
Partial migration is a common migratory behavior where some individuals in a population migrate and others do not. Patterns of partial migration can vary dramatically, especially for species that inhabit a wide range of environments. I described and predicted spatial variation in marine migration (anadromy) of female Oncorhynchus mykiss (steelhead...
Background: This study investigated the relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and orofacial cleft (OFC). The association between GDM and OFC has been debated, therefore this systematic review focused on presenting a synthesis of the previous studies in this field.
Methods: PubMed was searched using MeSH terms for articles published...
Nitrogen availability in agricultural soils from fertilizer, plant residue inputs, and soil organic matter has important implications beyond crop yield. Legume winter cover crops and one fourth the recommended N rate on sweet corn resulted in yields equivalent to those at the recommended rate in the Willamette Valley of western...
A finite element formulation is developed for the prediction of
the large displacement response of pipelines which are placed upon
irregularly contoured marine sediments and are subsequently subjected
to episodic hydrodynamic loads. The equations of motion during each
episode of extreme wave activity are obtained from a variational form
of...
Radiation induced heat generation rates of several nonfissionable materials were measured calorimetrically in a nuclear reactor environment. The calorimeter was uniquely designed to allow many materials of grossly different heat generation rates to be measured. heat transfer characteristics of the calorimeter were determined analytically and experimentally. Materials were chosen to...
