By an appropriation of the Oregon Legislature of it becomes possible for the Oregon Agricultural College to build a drill shed, a thing long needed by this institution. Dennis, Hendricks and Tobey, architects of Portland, submitted plans for this drill shed and in designing the truss for this building we...
Multinational corporations must be aware of the business and financial reporting issues
that await them abroad. Investors also must have this knowledge in order to adequately
interpret the financial information they receive from these companies. This study
compares and contrasts the business environments in the US and Mexico, with a...
An inducible, mutant virus, designated vvtetO:I7L/G1L, was used to study the morphogenic proteolysis step of the vaccinia virus life cycle. The vvtetO:I7L/G1L controlled the expression of two genes, I7L, a cysteine proteinase, and G1L, a putative metalloproteinase. These proteins are involved in the maturation of viral core proteins, p4a, p4b,...
The Sortase A (SrtA) enzyme is a potential target for a new class of anti-infective drugs
because it is responsible for anchoring virulence factors to the surface of pathogenic,
Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. High throughput screening
yielded low molecular weight compounds that inhibit purified SrtA from S. aureus....
Several compounds have been recently identified which are effective against dengue virus, a tropical arbovirus highly prevalent in southeast Asia and central America. Initial intrinsic fluorescence characterization of the mechanism of action of compound B reveals binding affinity to the dengue capsid protein. A molecular beacon unwinding assay and malachite...
Cobalamin (vitamin B12) is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a role as an indicator of gastrointestinal disease in dogs. In addition, supplementation of vitamin B12 to dogs deficient in cobalamin has been shown to improve clinical signs of intestinal disease.1,2 Low serum cobalamin has been found in dogs with food-responsive,...
