Confederate governors Joseph Brown and Zebulon Vance have long been considered obstructionists to the Confederate cause through their steadfast commitment to states' rights. States' Rights Nationalists throws in its own interpretation of these two men into the historiographical conversation taken on by well-known Civil War historians like Frank Owsley, Albert...
Contact of blood with the surfaces of synthetic materials is associated with spontaneous protein adsorption, initiating platelet aggregation, the coagulation cascade, and the eventual development of a stable clot. Current therapy to inhibit implant-induced thrombosis is life-long administration of systemic anticoagulants. An alternative to the systemic administration of anticoagulant drugs...
Wetland soils with complex stratigraphy and redoximorphic features occur on the
margin of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. In the Jackson-Frazier wetland, vertisols
show three distinct stratigraphic units that rest uncomformably upon each other and
correspond to the Bashaw series Bss, 2Bt and 3BC horizons. Holocene alluvium
deposited as distal alluvial...
Four species of euryhaline teleosts (chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha, Walbaum; staghorn sculpin, Leptocottus armatus,
Girard; starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus, Pallas; shiner perch
Cymatogaster aggregata, Gibbons) were exposed to x-rays. The irradiated
animals were maintained in either of two different environments.
The effects of x-radiation were determined by observing the
percent...
The partitioning of body fluids in the Pacific hagfish was investigated
using several experimental techniques. Direct measurement
of the blood volume was obtained through the simultaneous use
of tagged red blood cells and plasma proteins labeled with Evan's
blue dye. Blood cells obtained from donor animals were incubated
with L-methionin-methyl-C¹⁴...
Apoplastic distribution patterns of atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-
6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)-
glycine], the naturally occurring apoplastic leaf solutes, and
the apoplastic dye PTS (trisodium 3-hydroxy-5,8,10-pyrenetrisulfonate)
were compared. Aliquots of sap were expressed from intact
sunflower leaves in a pressure chamber over intervals of 0.2 to 0.4
bars. Three distinct fractions were detected...
In study 111, four Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stocktypes (1-0, 2-0 standard nursery run and low density bareroot seedlings, and 1 year old container stock) were outplanted in a randomized
incomplete block design to an old field in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in a factorial experiment t4 stocktypes...
