The studies described here introduce a model for residue preservation on stone tools. They simulate stone tool manufacture in order to define parameters important for the study of DNA residues. Microscopic examination of stone tools has identified microcracks that trap DNA and protein from animal blood cells. Thorough investigation of...
Two studies were conducted to determine the in vitro metabolic and hormonal effects on glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity (G6PD) in bovine mammary explants. Study I was conducted to determine the effects of palmitoyl CoA (5 and 25 uM), acetate (1 and 10 mM), spermidine (0.4 mM) and putrescine (0.4 mM)...
Eighteen multiparous, high producing (7,836 kg 4%
FCM) Holstein dairy cows were assigned randomly to iso-
.
caloric rations containing either 12 or 23% crude protein
(CP) on day 40 postpartum. After a 10-day adaptation
period, uterine secretion and blood samples were collected
on the day of estrus (day 0-1),...
This study was conducted to determine the relationships among the
linear type traits of rump angle, rump width, rump length, rear legs
side view, rear legs position, rear legs rear view, tailhead, vulva
angle, mobility, pasterns, foot angle, and toes with reproductive
performance (days open and times bred) in Holstein...
The fish Cymatogaster aggregata, Embiotoca lateralis and
Phanerodon furcatus served as definitive hosts for the trematode
Telolecithus pugetensis Lloyd and Guberlet. Eggs that were collected
from the terminal part of the uterus of mature worms were found to
have undergone several cleavages, but complete development was
observed only in some...
The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on
selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in
muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W
was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...
The energy budget of a pumice desert surface was analyzed under
clear skies during early, mid- and late summer periods. The pumice
site is in the semi-arid plateau region of Central Oregon at an elevation
of about 1500 meters. The flat pumice surface is approximately
250 hectares in extent, and...
Martin Buber was an internationally known scholar,
teacher, and author whose works covered education, communication,
politics, theology, philosophy, counseling,
and related fields. The purpose of this study was to
discover the implications of Buber's philosophy of education
for the student services profession. Previous
attempts to relate Martin Buber's philosophy to...
