In recent years, the Promotion and Tenure process has been increasingly called into question by state lawmakers, public citizens, and even the academic community. With such questions in mind, Ball State University has worked to amend our promotion and tenure procedures to embrace inclusion and innovation, both by emphasizing the...
We measure the forward-backward asymmetries A[subscript]FB of charged Ξ and Ω baryons produced in p (p) over bar collisions recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at √s = 1.96 TeV as a function of the baryon rapidity y. We find that the asymmetries A[subscript]FB for charged...
Real-time PCR assays using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes and high resolution melt (HRM) analysis were developed for molecular differentiation of Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli, causal agents of cucurbit and hop downy mildew, respectively. The assays were based on a previously identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the cytochrome...
An automated library system should be capable of providing at least all of the information and capabilities of existing manual catalogs. In addition, an automated system must provide the capability of manipulating that information to produce varying types of reports and statistics. This paper briefly:
- describes historical representations of...
This document describes the design and implementation of a pair of language interfaces to a network database management system. CSDDL provides the DBMS with a data description language facility, and CSDSDL functions as a data storage description language interface of the DBMS. Source languages of CSDDL and CSDSDL are approximately...
The Tertiary geologic evolution of the Oregon and Washington continental margin was molded by episodic periods of convergence between the Pacific oceanic plates and the North American plate. This margin is the site of a deep basin that is floored by Paleocene to lower Eocene oceanic crust and contains more...
