Previous research has found some bicyclists disregard circular red indications and stop signs. Possible justifications include a desire to increase safety, save energy, save time, and increase visibility. Because of this, many bicyclists feel as though stopping at stop signs, especially in the absence of conflicting vehicular traffic, is an...
The Penn-State/NCAR MM5 mesoscale model was adapted for mesoscale simulations of the Martian atmosphere (the OSU MMM5). The NASA Ames Mars GCM provides initial and boundary conditions. High-resolution maps for albedo, thermal inertia and topography were developed from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) data; these baseline maps are processed to appropriate...
Rainbow trout cystatin C cDNA has been isolated from
trout liver. The full-length cystatin cDNA (674 bp)
included the 5'untranslated region and the polyadenylation
signal sequence AATAAA in the 3' region. Translation of
the cDNA defines 132 amino acid residues. Comparison of
the amino acid sequence with those of family...
Hunger is among the greatest contemporary social problems in the United States. An incredible 48 million people, or 14% of households, experienced food insecurity during 2014. At the same time, public responses to food insecurity, such as the Emergency Food Assistance Program, have increasingly relied on the “emergency food network,”...
A global, multi-level, wave-mean flow model based on an
approximate version of the primitive equations is developed to
investigate the development of a baroclinic wave field initially
confined to a single zonal wavenumber. The effects of physical
processes (surface drag and thermal damping) and internal diffusion
on the evolution have...
Serum-free mouse embryo (SFME) cells are derived
in medium in which serum is replaced with growth
factors and other supplements. They display unusual
properties. They do not lose proliferative potential
or show gross chromosomal aberration upon extended
culture, they depend on epidermal growth factor (EGF)
for survival, and are reversibly...
