The purpose of this study was to study in some detail
host factors which influence the population dynamics of
bark beetle. The dissertation objectives were to ascertain
the applicability of utilizing osmotic pressure
values and relative turgidity values of phloem tissue as
indicators which reflect upon the physiological profile
of...
Second-year students are a population that is often overlooked by higher education institutions. Many programs are offered to foster the success of students, but there is little research on their influence on second-year students. Mentorship initiatives are well researched and utilized support programs for students, but relatively little research has...
The DNAs (deoxyribonucleic acids)
of the thoracic tissue

by physical
and chemical means. The adult
moth was considered to
be fully
formed two days after emergence from
the pupal case, as indicated
by its ability to fly and the integrity

Two experiments were conducted to try and
differentiate variations in the levels of total plasma
protein and plasma protein fractions from three lines of
turkeys, each with distinct muscle morphological
characteristics--Deep Pectoral Myopathy (DPM), Hereditary
Muscular Dystrophy (MDY), and a Broad Breasted Bronze
control (J).
Ten day old poults from...
During summer of 1998 and 1999, 34 and 10 vineyard sites, respectively, were sampled to assess spider mite pests and associated biological control by phytoseiid mites. Vineyards studied spanned five major valleys in western Oregon where grape production occurs. Leaf samples were taken from site perimeters and centers. One leaf...
The meteoric rise and prevalent usage of wireless networking technologies for mobile
communication applications have captured the attention of media and imagination of
public in the recent decade. One such proliferation is experienced in Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs), where multimedia enabled elements are fused with integrated
sensors to empower tightly...
