This manual provides guidance on creating subject heading proposals for Indigenous topics that can be submitted to the Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO) for addition to the Library of Congress Subject Headings.
The biotransformation of hop aroma via yeast is a prominent topic in the brewing industry with considerable interest placed on how yeast can enhance volatile thiol production during wort fermentation. Three potent thiols are known contributors to tropical qualities in wine and beer aroma, specifically 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH), 3-mercaptohexyl acetate (3MHA),...
Since the discovery of penicillin in 1928, the fungal kingdom has remained a fertile source for the discovery of new, biologically active, natural products. Further, as natural products continue to be discovered from fungi, a deeper understanding of the critical role of specialized metabolism in fungal ecology is afforded. The...
This dataset contains records of identified benthic and aquatic emergent invertebrates from pre-timber harvest, post-timber harvest, and reference (no harvest) collection sites in the Hinkle Creek watershed. A variety of fish-bearing tributaries, fishless tributaries, and mainstem creek sites were sampled. Benthic invertebrates were collected using Serber nets and emergent adults...
Secondary metabolites (SMs) play an integral role in the life history of most fungal species. Fungal metabolomic studies provide insights into how fungi perform certain ecological functions, how they compete and interact with other organisms, and the breadth of fungal chemodiversity. Fungal SMs have also been utilized for a variety...
Popular botanical dietary supplements marketed for management of menopausal symptoms, including hops (Humulus lupulus L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense) and licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), were evaluated for their potential to alter CYP-mediated drug metabolism clinically and pre-clinically. Both hops and red clover had been reported to inhibit certain cytochrome P450 (CYP)...
Polyphenolic compounds found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains, are an integral part of the human diet. Within polyphenols, proanthocyanidins are referred to as condensed tannins and encompass procyanidins, propelargonidins and prodelphinidins. Among these, procyanidins are the largest group. Recent interest in these compounds is related...
How can healthcare providers, particularly pharmacists, help palliative care patients cope with the inevitability of death? This thesis reviewed how spirituality and religious beliefs can be utilized as key coping strategies for many patients and their loved ones regarding various stressors associated with facing mortality in palliative care. In the...
Superwarfarins are anticoagulant rodenticides that are 100 times more potent and 15 times more persistent than warfarin. They have been used since the 1980s and cause over 10,000 cases of accidental and intentional poisonings per year. Apart from inducing uncontrollable bleeding, by inhibiting the vitamin K cycle, superwarfarins can disrupt...
Genetic code expansion (GCE) is a technology that allows us to incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) site-specifically into recombinant proteins using engineered translational machinery. Typically, an orthogonal aaRS/tRNA pair is engineered by directed evolution to recognize the ncAA and incorporate it at a reassigned codon while not interacting with the...
