Nalidixic acid and its derivatives act through inhibition of
bacterial DNA gyrase activity. Recently there have been a series of
papers reporting the antibacterial activity against three different
types of bacteria (S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa) by a series
of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline (or 1,8-naphthyridine) 3-carboxylic
acids. Consistent biological data...
Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregate.
There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal aggregate
available for construction purposes. The purpose of this report
is to develop techniques for upgrading marginal aggregates with portland
cement and methods for evaluating the relative performance of
these stabilized materials...
An automated library system should be capable of providing at least all of the information and capabilities of existing manual catalogs. In addition, an automated system must provide the capability of manipulating that information to produce varying types of reports and statistics. This paper briefly:
- describes historical representations of...

Artificial substrates colonized by diatoms from Yaquina Estuary, Oregon, were exposed to solar visible radiation and three levels of ultraviolet radiation (UV-B, 290-320 nm). Flow-through microcosms were constructed inside a glasshouse to serve as chambers for the artificial substrates. The artificial substrates were sampled during three spring/summer experiments. Chlorophyll a...
Bacteriophage T4 gene 42 encodes dCMP hydroxymethylase, an
enzyme unique to the deoxyribonucleotide metabolism of T-even
bacteriophages. To study biochemical and biophysical properties of
the enzyme, as well as the interaction of dCMP hydroxymethylase with
other DNA precursor biosynthetic enzymes in vitro, availability of large
amounts of the enzyme is...
