However, women may be more competitive with other women than with men, especially when limited job positions are the goal. Competitiveness among women can be explained by a phenomenon...
This study investigated how manipulating vineyard nitrogen status, irrigation levels and cultivation practices would effect nutrient composition, and anthocyanin and phenolic accumulation in Pinot noir juice and wine from a commercial Willamette Valley Oregon vineyard. Pinot noir fruit was sourced from a vineyard trial in the Benton Lane Vineyard, located...

Two decades of literature from national college student climate reports
The purpose of this investigation was to compare some of the
properties of a spore-forming mutant of Bacillus cereus 569R with
the wild type. The strains were grown under identical conditions in
liquid medium. The mutant, strain 45, was characterized with
respect to growth rate, pH changes in the medium,...
Ultrafiltration of d'Anjou pear juice in the batch mode with a
Romicon HFXS MXII pilot-scale ultrafilter produced a "sparkling clear",
light-colored permeate which was sterile, essentially free of pectin,
and lower in phenolics than the feed juice. Retention characteristics
of PM-50, PM-30 and PM-10 hollow fiber membranes were tested at...

Tsunamis have the potential to inflict severe damage and loss of life in coastal communities. Structures known as vertical evacuation buildings provide an alternative evacuation site for communities living in relatively flat, coastal regions with inadequate sources of high ground for evacuation. Design of these structures balances risk and economy,...
