Growing digital circuits : logic synthesis and minimization with genetic operators

Creator:: Dill, Karen M.
Abstract:: This research applies the biologically inspired, artificial evolutionary processes of Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming to digital hardware circuit synthesis and minimization. In this new application, three approaches are taken to genetic hardware development. First, as a method for logic synthesis, Genetic Programming is applied to the building of logic...

Nutrient and tannin concentrations of shrub leaves in managed and unmanaged forests of the Oregon Coast Range : implications for herbivores

Creator:: Lange, Karen M.
Abstract:: Many herbivores of the Pacific Northwest rely on forest understory shrub leaves for a source of nitrogen, energy, and moisture. I measured nitrogen, protein-binding capacity, and condensed tannin concentration as indicators of available nitrogen; cell wall constituents and lignin as indicators of available energy; and moisture concentration in young and...

Fatty acylation of Vaccinia virus proteins : dual myristylation and palmitylation of the A-type inclusion protein

Creator:: Martin, Karen H.
Abstract:: The attachment of myristic acid to the N-terminal glycine residue of many eukaryotic and viral proteins is often essential for the acquisition of the protein's biological activity. Vaccinia virus (VV), the prototype member of the Poxviridae, expresses several myristylated proteins during the course of infection. Only one of these proteins,...

Habitat use and home range size of breeding northern goshawks in the southern Cascades

Creator:: Austin, Karen K.
Abstract:: I investigated habitat use and home range size of northern goshawks in the southern Cascades, in the Shasta- Trinity and Klamath National Forests of northern California. My objectives were to 1) estimate the average home range and 2) describe the use of habitats within home ranges by breeding goshawks. Ten...

Regulation of exopolysaccharide synthesis

Creator:: Dierksen, Karen P.
Abstract:: Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris Ropy 352 and L. lactis subsp. cremoris Hollandicus produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) that imparts commercially desirable textural and rheological properties to fermented milk products. This ropy phenotype is expressed under specific environmental conditions. A mucoid EPS phenotype, also expressed under specific environmental conditions, but not involved...
