Post-fire Tree Establishment Patterns at the Subalpine Forest-Alpine Tundra Ecotone: A Case Study in Mount Rainier National Park
(2010-10-12)
Climatic changes have induced striking altitudinal and latitudinal vegetation
shifts throughout history. These shifts will almost certainly recur in the future;
threatening other flora and fauna, and influencing climate ...
Circuits attenuating seizures under well-fed and food-deprived conditions in C. elegans male sex muscles
(2010-07-14)
The circuits that allow organisms to control behavioral timing need to be tightly
regulated to ensure execution of appropriate environmental responses. Disrupting such
regulation results in individuals unable to perform ...
The Awareness, Perceptions and Attitudes of Faculty Users and Faculty Non-Users about the Role and Processes of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at One 1890 Land Grant Institution
(2010-10-12)
The primary purpose of the study was tri-fold. The study was conducted to (1)
determine differences between faculty users and faculty non-users awareness, perceptions
and attitudes about the role and processes of the IRB ...
Changing Patterns of Rangeland Use: Functional Characteristics of the Economics and Operations of Fee Hunting Enterprises in Central and South Texas
(2010-07-14)
Ranching communities in Texas have long recognized fee hunting as a natural resource with the potential of directly affecting agricultural incomes. Hunting as an industry today, appears to be developing into an economic ...
Role of the Leucine Zipper of Marek's Disease Virus Oncoprotein Meq in Pathogenesis
(2010-07-14)
Marek's disease virus (MDV), the etiologic agent of Marek's disease, is a potent
oncogenic herpesvirus. MDV is highly contagious and elicits a rapid onset of malignant
T-cell lymphomas in chickens within several weeks after ...
A study of coherent nonlinear processes in dense media with continuous and pulsed laser fields
(2010-07-14)
Coherent nonlinear effects such as Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
(EIT), Coherent Population Trapping (CPT), and Slow light are studied in thermal
Rb vapor by both continuous and pulsed laser fields. This work ...
Nutrient Signaling, Mammalian Target of Rapamycin and Ovine Conceptus Development
(2010-07-14)
This research was conducted to test the hypothesis that select nutrients including
glucose, leucine, arginine and glutamine stimulate conceptus development by activating
mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin; HGNC approved ...
THE EVOLUTION OF OXYGEN AND IRON FLUENCE DURING SOLAR PARTICLE EVENTS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO SKIN DOSE FOR EVENTS FROM OCTOBER 1997 TO DECEMBER 2005
(2010-01-16)
One of the primary concerns with space travel is the protection of astronauts
from potentially lethal radiation. A major source of potentially lethal radiation is our
own sun. During Solar Cycle 23 there were 97 detected ...
THROUGH-BOND ENERGY TRANSFER CASSETTES FOR MULTIPLEXING & DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS FOR PROTEIN MONO-LABELING
(2010-07-14)
A set of three through-bond energy transfer cassettes based on BODIPY as a donor
and cyanine dyes as acceptors has been prepared via Sonogashira couplings, and their
photophysical properties were examined. These cassettes ...
Development of a Reaction Signature for Combined Concrete Materials
(2010-07-14)
Although concrete is widely considered a very durable material, if conditions are such, it
can be vulnerable to deterioration and early distress development. Alkali-Silica Reaction
(ASR) is a major durability problem in ...
