Epidermal RNA samples from FVB/N mice treated with PAH standards and
environmental PAH mixtures were harvested and purified using Trizol extraction and
RNeasy mini prep kit purification. Epidermal RNA integrity was low (RIN mean 3.5),
indicating significant RNA degradation and the need to modify handling, collection, and
processing of skin...
Tuna farming industry of Japan has achieved complete culture and currently tries to seize the opportunity to materialize the industrial mass production of the artificial seed. Japan was only 3,000 tons (8%) among 37,000 tons of 2007, which was the peak of world production of cultured tuna. However in 2008,...
Consolidates existing knowledge on the political economy of property rights in natural resources and integrates lessons learned from developmental aid and fisheries and non-fishery case studies to provide a methodological approach for future case study work on fisheries reform. Objective: Link fisheries reform strategies with in-country political economy conditions.
This presentation was given at the University of Oregon Libraries on January 21, 2010. "Rights Well" was developed at the Oregon State University Libraries as part of the Scholarly Communication Program. The presentation addresses the importance of authors' rights (why authors should care) and methods for developing a presentation specific...
This presentation about the Oregon Spatial Data Library (OSDL) (http://spatialdata.oregonexplorer.info/) was delivered to the Western Association of Map Libraries in March 2010. The OSDL provides convenient ways to find, access, and share geospatial data and was developed in partnership with the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS). The Oregon Spatial...
Many Gram-negative bacteria use a type III secretion system (TTSS) to establish a relationship with a host. Pathogens can use the secretion system as a way to deliver proteins known as type III effectors (TTEs) into a host cell and block host defense. The variation and redundancy of the type...
The western spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata
undecimpunctata) and the western striped cucumber beetle (Acalymma trivittatum) are
pests of many crops, including vegetable, fruit, and nursery crops. Pesticides are
commonly used to control this pest. Trap and kill technologies are under development as
use in an alternative control for cucumber...
HafSOx is a dielectric material that also functions as an insulator. It is able to be spin-coated onto a silicon substrate, creating a thin, amorphous film. It is very dense, which helps lead it to a high dielectric constant, making it ideal for electronic devices through the use of lithography....
