Background
Bcl11b, previously CTIP2, is a zinc finger nuclear transcription factor involved in the development of keratinocytes, teeth, T lymphocytes, and nervous tissue. Expression of Bcl11b has been reported in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and increased expression correlates with poorly differentiated tumors. This study aimed to...
This thesis analyzes contributing factors to Zoom Fatigue and the issues surrounding “attentional dissonance,” or a feeling of tension or rupture between actual and virtual self-perception. The research examines current literature on Zoom Fatigue, and uses the sociological theory of Dramaturgical Analysis, developed by Erving Goffman, to further assess the...
Tibetan Buddhism has offered two distinct, seemingly dichotomous perspectives about motherhood as it relates to traversing the spiritual path. In the first, mothering is the antithesis to spiritual development and realization, as it tethers a practitioner to the mundane duties of saṃsāra, the cycle of rebirth and suffering, propelling her...

I assert that Communitarianism, which seeks balance between the individual and their many overlapping communities, can situate our identities as less absolute and more constitutive...
The yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis is the most important wines spoilage yeast encountered during winemaking as it can survive in wine for long periods, requires minimal nutrients for growth, and can be difficult to control. Brettanomyces produces two major spoilage products, the volatile phenols 4-ethylphenol (Band-Aid, medicinal smell) and 4-ethylguaiacol (smoke,...
A practical and versatile instrument has been developed both to
optimize the chemistry of bio- and chemiluminescence reactions and to
measure ultra-trace quantities of associated analytes. The instrument
consists of a pneumatic flow injection system linked to a detection cell and a
signal processing and readout system. The disk-like cell...
A microclimatology study was conducted on a high elevation clearcut
near the summit of Mt. Ashland in southwest Oregon to evaluate the effects
of frost on Douglas-fir seedling growth and survival. Frost and low
temperatures cause seedling stress through frost damage, frost desiccation,
increased root resistance, and decreased rates of...
Of 149 wild animals from two western Oregon river drainage
areas and other localities in which "salmon poisoning" disease (SPD)
is enzootic, including ten mammalian and two avian species, 79
harbored Nanophyetus salmincola, the SPD vector. The shorttail
weasel, Mustela erminea; river otter, Lutra canadensis; spotted
skunk, Spilogale putorius; Norway...
The biology, history and synonyms of
reviewed and the known distribution given.
Fascioloides magna were reviewed and the known distribution given. Studies have shown that Cervidae are the natural hosts and domestic
ruminants the accidental hosts. The parasite is reportedly
pathogenic to goats and sheep but causes severe tissue reactions...
