Development of marine heat waves (MHWs) in the Chile-Peru Current System (CPCS) is influenced by multiple physical processes at the air-sea interface whose individual role in these destructive events is difficult to infer. We identified MHW events from sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from time periods of extreme ocean warming...
Genetic code expansion (GCE) is a technology that allows us to incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) site-specifically into recombinant proteins using engineered translational machinery. Typically, an orthogonal aaRS/tRNA pair is engineered by directed evolution to recognize the ncAA and incorporate it at a reassigned codon while not interacting with the...
Root rot due to Armillariella mellea (Vahl. ex Fr.)
Karst. is unusually severe in ponderosa pine near Glenwood,
Washington. Isolate relations, clonal variability, vegetation
patterns, and climate were examined in relation to
severity of disease in this area.
Ninety-one isolates from 70 infection centers were
examined. Pairings of neighboring isolates...
In recent years the types of engineering data accumulated by many telemetry systems have become so diversified and complex, and
the environment in which these systems operate has become so restricting
that telemetry systems with increased capabilities and decreased
size are becoming a necessity. Advances in integrated circuitry
techniques satisfy...
The ferritin-like superfamily (FLSF) of proteins is composed of a wide variety of functionally diverse proteins involved in oxygen dependent metal-mediated electron transfer reactions. Their biological importance is exemplified by the fact FLSF proteins are found in almost every organism from all three domains of life. Their functions range from...
California and Steller sea lions (Zalophus californianus, Eumetopias jubatus, respectively) are considered sentinel species because they have long life spans, are long-term coastal residents, feed at high trophic levels, and have large blubber stores that serve as depots for anthropogenic toxicants. There are few studies on sea lion health and...
The main goal of this project is to implement an algorithmic music composition procedure and present all procedures and results in a reproducible fashion by creating a web application produced by R. To approach the implementation of the algorithmic composition of music, we start by exploring various models, but ultimately...
This study was designed to determine whether or not students'
emotions and coping would change during stages of an examination.
If changes in emotions and coping were recorded at different phases of
an examination, then these findings would substantiate the position that
stress and coping are processes. In addition, the...
MSME development has emerged at the forefront of economic policy, with the majority of policy mechanisms aimed at creating the regulatory and institutional environments, which have historically proven to augment entrepreneurial activity. In the case of Europe a large portion of entrepreneurial policy resides within the European Community framework, however...
