Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been applied as a hemostatic agent since the 1970s, and a potent source of autologous growth factors since the 1990s. PRP is rich in growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)...
Concentrations of selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) were measured in the water column, sediment and biota, in conjunction with selected physicochemical data, from representative wetland types at a mining site within Salt Lake County, Utah, USA. The selected field sites included Oolitic...
The over-arching theme of this work is that soil data affect the performance and realism of vegetation models with particular focus on their ability to predict or explain disturbances such as fire or disease. We tested the sensitivity of the Excel version of the 3-PG model to soil properties and...
The abundance of algal species and their parasites
was monitored weekly for two years in a sewage lagoon
at the Corvallis Airport, Oregon. During the cooler
months, Euglena species were dominant followed by a
Chlamydomonas assemblage in the spring and a
predominantly Scenedesmus assemblage in the summer and
fall. Parasites...

Forest division of the United States Forest Service (USFS). This area has gradually been
overcome by vegetation since the 1950's, originating with the exotic European Beach
Grass (Ammophila arenaria). The invasion of this exotic vegetation has resulted in a...
The Environmental Conditioning System (ECS) was designed to evaluate the
water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures. The ECS subjects asphalt concrete specimens to a series of conditioning cycles including water flow, elevated and/or lowered temperature, and repeated axial loading. The purpose of this research was to: (1) evaluate the ECS...
