Thirty-four current worksite health promotion programs were
studied in order to obtain comprehensive information about various components
involved in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of existing
programs, and to acquire the necessary data to develop a theory and corresponding
hypotheses pertaining to successful worksite health promotion
programs. The case study...
In order to estimate wind turbine residL2;characteristics
in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, the important atmospheric
sources for the force excitations felt by the wind turbine system
must be identified and characterized. The goal of this research
is to develop the wind turbulence input model for horizontal axis
wind turbines....

A theory is developed to provide an analytical solution to an
unsteady flow field which is partially occupied by a porous structure.
The flow is induced by a small amplitude incident wave
train. The porous structure may contain multi-layer anisotropic but
homogeneous media. Three typical porous structures are investigated:
a...
Poetry in the People's Republic of China during the past 30 years has been dominated by works intensely political in nature – a kind of poetry known by the name zhengzhi shuqing shi (political lyric). The function of this poetry was to eulogize current political movements and to generate public...
Because Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii(Mirb.)Franco] bark is a raw material produced in our renewable forests along with wood, an understanding of the ultrastructure of bark cells is of paramount importance if wood technologists are to utilize the bark to the fullest potential. The objectives of this study were to develop microscopic...
Ultrafiltration of d'Anjou pear juice in the batch mode with a
Romicon HFXS MXII pilot-scale ultrafilter produced a "sparkling clear",
light-colored permeate which was sterile, essentially free of pectin,
and lower in phenolics than the feed juice. Retention characteristics
of PM-50, PM-30 and PM-10 hollow fiber membranes were tested at...
Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort) is a common weed in the
Pacific Northwest that contains toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids
(PAs). Jacobine, the major PA in Senecio jacobaea, was incubated
with rat liver microsomes and metabolites were isolated by high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and identified by mass
spectrometric analysis. Metabolites included a...
Replication associated protein and enzyme activity levels increase as cells enter
S-phase of the cell cycle and diminish as cells leave S-phase. Accordingly, replication
associated functions decrease as myoblasts withdraw from the cell cycle to terminally
differentiate. In an effort to understand signals effecting growth associated expression
of genes, the...
