Stringhalt is a disorder in horses characterized by high stepping with hyperflexion of the hind limbs. This disorder has been reported from the US, Australia, Chile, and Brazil. In most instances, the disease manifests itself in horses exposed to summer dandelion (Hypochaeris radicata). Stringhalt has been induced by feeding summer...
Regression equations for mean monthly streamflow in watersheds running off into the Gulf of Alaska have been determined. The equations were obtained by regressing observed streamflow at 246 USGS and Environment Canada gaging stations against a number of relevant meteorological and basin physical parameters. Meteorological parameters include mean monthly precipitation,...
A Tablespoon or Two is a food blog featuring recipes, featured folks, featured ingredients, an about me section, and my food history. The target audience is Pacific Northwest young chefs who like to cook affordable and fresh comfort food. The pages of the blog feature posts such as a trip...
The use of fossil fuels and their related impact on the environment and global warming have encouraged societies to pursue more sustainable and renewable alternatives, e.g., forest-based bio-oil. Thus, a vital need to decrease the level of greenhouse gas emissions and the tendency of nations to reduce their dependency on...
With the continual growth of scientific knowledge and ever-increasing arguments for
science as the end-all “objective” system of knowledge, a severe criticism and analysis of
science and its history is direly needed. Within this paper, I use the work of Max
Horkheimer, the Frankfurt School, Martin Buber, and others to...
Advances in electronics fabrication, coupled with the demand for increased computing power, have driven the demand for innovative cooling solutions to dissipate waste heat generated by these devices. To meet future demands, research and development has focused on robust two-phase heat transfer devices. A confined impinging jet is explored as...
Methamphetamine has flooded the media for the past two decades however, this
drug has impacted the nation for many decades prior. Since its synthesis in 1893,
methamphetamine has appealed to various aspects of society including soldiers,
housewives, college students, businessmen, truck drivers, drugged crazed hippies, and
athletes. The extensive effects,...
Natural products (secondary metabolites) are small organic molecules derived from plants, microbes, and marine organisms that have served as a diverse source of useful compounds pharmaceuticals. New biologically active natural products are critical as anti-infective and cancer drug leads. Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, produce diverse cytotoxic metabolites that represent potential...
The evolving United States demographics, evident from the most recent census, show a steady population growth for Hispanics. Research suggests that after immigrating to the United States, first-generation Hispanic populations seem vulnerable to weight gain and development of chronic disease. Many health professionals recognize the increased need for Spanish language...
Due to the effective antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles they represent a significant proportion of all consumer-‐related nanomaterials. The introduction of silver nanoparticles from these products into domestic and industrial wastewater streams poses potential complications for biological treatment systems. A critical component of biological treatment that is extremely sensitive to...
