An analysis of alternative methods of nonmarket valuation : applications to whitewater recreation

Creator:: Bregenzer, Neil S.
Abstract:: This study analyzes and compares alternative methods of valuing nonmarket goods.

This...

Use of fluorescent-labeled lectins for studying progressive stages of fungal decay in Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine

Creator:: Lin, Ling-Chwun
Abstract:: The ability of the fluorescent-coupled lectins wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and concanavalin A (Con A) to react with selected Basidiomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Fungi Imperfecti was evaluated using pure cultures of thirty-five fungi grown on malt extract agar. WGA, which is specific for residues of N-acetylglucosamine present in fungal chitin, reacted...
