Creator:: Salli, Ugur
Abstract:: Prostaglandin F₂α (PGF₂α), a stimulatory hormone of luteal oxytocin secretion, is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC); however, the intracellular signals that promote exocytosis of oxytocin remain to be elucidated. Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS), a protein specifically phosphorylated by PKC, crosslinks actin filaments associated with the inner...

Abstract:: Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...

Creator:: Frank, Graham S.
Abstract:: Early seral forests regenerating from stand-replacing disturbances provide unique habitat for many species in productive, temperate forest landscapes and contribute to supporting biodiversity. Population declines in some species associated with early seral forests have prompted concerns about the conservation of these habitats, particularly the characteristic structural and compositional complexity associated...

Creator:: Hudson-Hanley, Barbara A.
Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are complex mixtures that form when organic matter is burned. Humans are primarily exposed to PAHs via air pollution from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, such a motor vehicle exhaust, cigarette smoke, wood smoke, or industrial emissions; or via ingestion of PAHs bound to...
