Ninety-two physicians from six different medical specialty
areas were participants in an opinion survey concerning corporate
executive fitness. The survey was comprised of 21 statements
related to such areas as fitness, nutrition, implementation
of specific programs and cost effectiveness. Descriptive
research methods were utilized to analyze results.
Physicians surveyed were...
Recent studies in men have shown plasma levels of vitamin B-6
and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B-6, to
increase with exercise. It was hypothesized that muscle glycogen
phosphorylase might be the source of these increases as this enzyme
has been shown to increase with increasing vitamin...
A series of profiles of velocity microstructure along 152°E in the western North Pacific Ocean were collected in May–June 1982. Large, averaged turbulent dissipation rates, ϵ, found in the main thermocline (400 to 1000 m) were determined by a combination of large independent estimates of ϵ and a greater rate...
Turbulence measurements from the central equatorial Pacific in February 1982 have been analyzed and compared to synoptic CTD and current velocity profiles and current meter data. These suggest considerably more time (if not space) variability than had previously been anticipated. Above 300 m at the equator the turbulence levels were...
Tests of a formula derived for the cutoff wave number of vertical temperature gradient spectra, using
data taken in the upper layers of the North Pacific, show encouraging results. To derive this formula, the
cutoff wave number is assumed to be the Batchelor wave number, with kinetic energy dissipation calculated...
Volcanic activity during the Tertiary has long been held
responsible for the deaths and subsequent fossilization of the
vertebrate populations of the John Day region in Oregon. Oreodonts
as plains or savannah dwelling ruminant herbivores, were likely to
have been subject to potential exposure throughout their lifetime
to volcanic debris...
Refractory inclusions from Kaba (CV3) chondrite were studied by
instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and electron probe
microanalysis (EPMA). The inclusions observed cover a wide range of
chemical patterns, mineral assemblages and textures, indicating the
complexity of early solar nebular conditions. The elemental
abundances normalized by Cl chondritic abundances vary...
Over the past decade, federal as well as state
legislation has been passed to eliminate discrimination and
create equality in the workplace. However, the attitudes of
professionals are not as easily changed. Many barriers still
face female executives entering the corporate level. This
study examined the attitudes of professionals in...
Irrigation is essential for profitable agriculture in the western
United States. It is the largest consumer of water and power in
Oregon. Conflicting uses of water and power and their scarcity demands
judicious planning for allocation of these resources. Creditable
baseline data are not only needed for irrigated crop acreages,...
The question of how the presence of nucleosomal
packing of DNA modifies carcinogen interaction at
specific sites cannot be answered by studies on whole
chromatin or bulk nucleosomes because of the
heterogeneity of DNA sequences in the particles. This
problem was circumvented by constructing nucleosomes that
are homogenous in DNA-histone...
