The purpose of the present study was to describe the process
of marital dissolution. This description entailed collecting information
about the process itself and then typologizing divorces
on the basis of their trajectories to dissolution. One hundred
and seven divorced individuals were interviewed. This interview
consisted of three parts. First,...
Multivariate morphometric analyses performed on ten populations
of Aneides ferreus indicate that phenotypic expression in this species
is exceedingly similar, but that on a fine scale there is considerable
significant heterogeneity between most populations as well as between
regional groups of populations. in terms of variation between California,
Oregon, and...
In vitro growth of twelve isolates of Tither spp., the true truffles, was quantified by an agar-melt procedure. All isolates grew
poorly on media commonly used for the culture of mycorrhizal fungi, but responded markedly to the addition of nitrate, as well as other
inorganic ions, to malt and potato-dextrose...
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...
The adsorption behavior of a human recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) in the presence of the nonionic, poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock surfactant Pluronic® F-68 was evaluated by dynamic air-water tensiometry. Surface tension kinetics were recorded for F-68 in the absence of protein at concentrations ranging from 0 to 10,000...

The adsorption behavior of a human recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) in the
Nisin, an antibacterial peptide proven to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria, was incorporated into novel block copolymer constructs and tested for retained antibacterial activity. Covalent coupling was achieved by chemical modification of the N-terminal isoleucine to introduce a thiol group. Thiolated nisin derivatives were then linked to poly[ethylene...
