APPLICATION OF CARBOHYDRATES AND PHENOLS AS BIOMARKERS TO STUDY DISSOLVED ORGANIC MATTER RESERVOIRS IN ARCTIC RIVERS.
(2014-01-22)
Arctic rivers are the dominant pathways for the transport of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon to the Arctic Ocean, but knowledge of sources, transformations and transfer of organic carbon and nitrogen in Arctic river ...
Comparison of Three Digestibility Markers in Beef Cattle Fed Finishing Rations Containing Different Sources of Supplemental Fat
(2014-01-22)
Beef cattle production is profoundly dependent on the diets provided to the cattle and their ability to promote growth. Dietary markers significantly aid beef cattle nutritionists by providing an index to measure diet ...
Engineering Deletions in the Mg1-Pk1 Gene Cluster of Streptomyces sp. Mg1 to Abolish Production of the Mg1-Pk1 Metabolite
(2013-09-25)
Many species of bacteria produce secondary metabolites in response to competitor species and changes to their local environment. Streptomyces sp. Mg1 (S. Mg1) produces the polyketide metabolite Mg1-Pk1, which participates ...
Analyzing Volunteer Geographic Information Accuracy and Determining its Capabilities for Scientific Research Data
(2014-02-28)
The primary purpose of this research project is to develop, test, and evaluate a volunteered geographic information (VGI) based approach for collecting data in order to assess its accuracy and relativity to a field of ...
THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT ESTRADIOL DELIVERY METHODS ON PLASMA ESTRADIOL LEVELS IN MICE
(2013-12-16)
Evidence suggests that estrogen plays a role in decreasing the risk of developing colon cancer. Numerous animal studies demonstrate possible mechanisms to explain how estradiol (E2) prevents this disease. Many of these ...
Uterine Biology of the Pig: Gene Expression for Establishment of Pregnancy
(2013-09-25)
Pigs have considerable economic benefits so the death of 20 to 40 percent of their embryos during pregnancy represents a major economic loss [1]. Therefore, identifying the expression of key genes associated with embryonic ...
An Explanation for Beta's Mean-reversion
(2013-09-26)
This study aims to improve upon the CAPM by showing that the beta risk value of a stock is mean reverting and this mean reverting tendency is caused by firms' growth. Ninety stocks categorized into three sets (small ...
The effects of perinatal cadmium exposure on behavioral sensitization to morphine
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
This study examined the effects of developmental cadmium exposure on morphine-induced locomotor activity. Adult female rats were exposed to 0 ppm, 25 ppm and 50 ppm cadmium via an adulterated food source for 30 days prior ...
The development of a model of Alpha helix formation for transmembrane peptides
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Researchers have studied the folding and binding properties of peptides in water for many years, but only recently has anyone attempted to explore those same tendencies in an environment similar to that of a transmembrane ...
Influence of nebulin on the assembly mechanics of desmin
(2013-09-19)
Desmin intermediate filaments (DIFs) bind to nebulin, forming a direct link between the intermediate filament (IF) cytoskeletal network and the Z-discs of myofibrils in muscle cells. As the main IF in muscles, desmin is ...
