    Amazon Rainforest Microbial Observatory Metagenomes
    (University of Oregon, 2010-04) Bohannan, Brendan J. M.; Meyer, Kyle M.; Klein, Ann M.; Rodrigues, Jorge L. M.; Nusslein, Klaus; Tringe, Susannah G.; Mirza, Babur S.; Tiedje, James M.
    This data archive contains 79 files of quality-filtered, shotgun metagenomic DNA sequence data generated as part of the Amazon Rainforest Microbial Observatory (ARMO) project. Ten soil cores were collected from Amazon Rainforest Microbial Observatory in April 2010 (5 soil cores from primary rainforest and 5 from a 38 year-old converted pasture). Soil was sampled to a depth of 10 cm (after removal of the litter layer) using standard coring methods and homogenized. Samples were frozen on the spot, transported on dry ice, and stored at -80° C until extraction. DNA was extracted from five soil subsamples per core (i.e. 50 extractions per 10 soil cores). Metagenomic libraries were constructed from the 10 samples using the Illumina TruSeq kit with ~270 bp insert sizes according to standard protocol. Sequencing of 150 bp paired-end reads was performed on the Illumina HiSeq platform at the Joint Genome Institute. In total, 21 lanes (2-3 lanes per sample) were sequenced to produce 6.4 billion paired-end reads, resulting in an average of 636 million (±12%) reads per sample. Raw sequences were uploaded to MG-RAST (http://metagenomics.anl.gov), and paired-end reads were joined using fastq-join as part of the MG-RAST pipeline. Single end reads that could not be joined were retained. After merging paired-end reads, a total of 6.3 billion sequences with an average length of 171 bp were processed through the MG-RAST pipeline. All other pipeline options were left as default (i.e. trimming of low quality bases, removal of artificial replicate sequences, and filtering of sequences with greater than 5 ambiguous bases). Also included are two OTU tables (community matrices).

    Coded Data for "Analysis of Specific Learning Disability Exclusionary Clause"
    (University of Oregon, 2017-06-01) Lybarger, Pamela
    The dissertation data for "Analysis of Specific Learning Disability Exclusionary Clause" was coded according to Ochoa et al. (1997) factors for criteria in the determination of SLD exclusionary clause (i.e., environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage) with the use of Contextual Interaction Theory categories.

    Coos Bay Bibliography
    (University of Oregon Libraries, 2012-10-17) Butler, Barbara A.; Schmitt, Jennifer
    A bibliography of publications (theses, peer reviewed articles, gray literature and books) with sample-collections sites in the Coos Bay area were collected in an EndNote bibliography. These citations were georeferenced in Google Earth, and KLM files were uploaded to GeoCommons. The database also points to data resources and species sample sites.

    Data for Cenozoic paleoclimate on land in North America
    (University of Oregon, 2016-04) Retallack, Greg J.
    Paleotemperature and paleoprecipitation over the past 40 m.yr. can be inferred from the degree of chemical weathering and depth of carbonate nodules in paleosols of Oregon, Montana, and Nebraska. Paleosol records show that late Eocene (35 Ma), middle Miocene (16 Ma), late Miocene (7 Ma), and early Pliocene (4 Ma) warm climatic episodes were also times of a wet climate in Oregon, Montana, and Nebraska. Oregon and Nebraska were humid during warmwet times, but Montana was no wetter than subhumid within the rain shadow of intermontane basins. Global warmwet paleoclimatic spikes steepened rather than flattened geographic gradients of Rocky Mountain rain shadows. Longlived mountain barriers created dusty dry basins with sedimentation rates high enough to preserve Milankovitch-scale (100–41 kyr) global paleoclimatic variation in some sequences of paleosols. Greenhouse warm-wet climates indicated by paleosols were also peaks of diversity for North American plants and animals and coincided with advances in coevolution of grasses and grazers. Paleosol records differ from global compilations of marine foraminiferal oxygen and carbon isotopic composition, due to competing influences of global ice volume and C4 grass expansion. Paleosol records support links between global warming and high atmospheric CO2.

    Paleosol data from Kenya.
    (2016-11-21) Retallack, Greg J.
    Data collected in several areas of Kenya with Cenozoic deposits well known for fossil mammals, including islands and shores of Lake Victoria, the central and southern Gregory Rift, and the basin of Lake Turkana. Data are largely measurements of key characteristics of fossil soils (paleosols) in the field: depth to the carbonate (Bk) horizon, thickness of the carbonate (Bk) horizon and size of the carbonate nodules.

    Paleosol data from Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Quebec.
    (2011) Retallack, Greg J.
    Data on depth to calcic horizon in paleosols of the northern Appalachians for tetrapod bones and trackways, as well as fossil tree remains. These data were collected to establish a paleoclimatic time series for Devonian and Early Carboniferous rocks with evidence of fossils transitional between fish and amphibians.

    Studies in Roman Civic Patronage
    (2013-07-18) Nicols, John
    This is a companion archive to Civic Patronage in the Roman Empire, published by Brill in the fall of 2013. The contents include: low resolution images of the most important inscriptions; supplementary studies in civic patronage that were deemed too marginal or too speculative for the print version; a database including all or most patrons of communities, the communities, benefactions, and references to standard scholarly publications like PIR or RE. This database has been broken down into several segments. In its entirety it is too large for standard monitors. As posted this database is a 'read-only' PDF. Also available on request is an Excel spreadsheet that can be manipulated and sorted to address particular questions.

    UO Sexual Violence and Institutional Behavior Campus Survey
    (University of Oregon, 2014-09) Freyd, Jennifer J.; Smith, Carly P.
    We constructed and administered our survey with the goals of contributing to research on the psychology of sexual violence and the behavior of an institution in response; contributing to the current national efforts to create a standardized survey; and contributing to the University of Oregon by providing data to help guide policy and implementation decisions. We also hope the data will help inform the UO Senate Task Force to Address Sexual Violence as it arrives at its recommendations for this campus.
