The effect of pyridoxine (PN) supplementation on the activities
of erythrocyte alanine aminotransferase (EAlaAT) and aspartate aminotransferase
(EAspAT) was observed in five men, aged 22 to 25 years.
The subjects received a constant diet containing 1.34 mg of vitamin
B-6 Monday through Friday of each week during this five-week study....
Rare plant reintroductions are a critical conservation tool for the augmentation of diminishing populations, or re-establishment of extirpated populations. Analysis of reintroduction failures suggests that a sophisticated understanding of species biology, ecology, and habitat is essential for producing self-sustaining rare plant populations. This study sought to generate that background knowledge...
The Latino K-12 student population in the United States continues to increase. Estimates are that by 2025, one in every three students in the country will be of Hispanic/Latino origin. The challenges to the educational system from such growth are unprecedented. At no other time in U.S. history has there...
Development of new research tools is needed to better understand the potential effects of a noisier ocean on individual and populations of marine mammals. Current behavioral response studies utilize ship-mounted sound sources to induce short-term noise-related behavioral responses in tagged animals. Combining the tag with the sound source into an...
Hydrazine based fuels are used by the Air Force for the Titan II
and Minuteman III missiles and the F-16 aircraft and by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration for propulsion systems and the
Space Shuttle Program. These uses represent significant production,
transportation and storage of these fuels, and, as...
The objective of this research was to investigate
the physiological effects of body posture on cycling.
The familiar positions of bicycle riding have been the
touring posture (hands stretched on top handlebar) and
the racing posture (hands bent at the elbow, with the
back horizontal). However, a relatively new stance...
