For ras gene mutation analysis in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus
mykiss) model system, a partial trout ras sequence was identified
using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two synthetic
oligonucleotides based on rat K-ras gene sequence were used as
primers for the PCR procedure. A 90 base pair (bp) sequence,
referred...
A digoxigenin-labeled nonradioactive detection system was used
to screen a zebrafish cDNA library for p53-like and ras-like genes.
One clone was isolated and identified as an incomplete p53-like
gene. The insert size of this clone is 1777 bp, which encodes part of
evolutionarily conserved region II and all of regions...
The purpose of this study was to better understand the historical development of the British Columbia (B.C.) community college, university college, and institute system with the focus on the changing nature of voluntary inter-institutional collaboration in relation to provincial coordination. The study also examined the related themes of centralization and...
Organismal tolerance to abiotic environmental stresses contributes significantly to setting the distribution limits of organisms, as demonstrated by vertical zonation patterns in the marine intertidal zone. In this thesis, the ultimate (evolutionary) and proximate (mechanistic) causes of tolerance to temperature and emersion stresses associated with the intertidal zone were examined...
The purpose of this study was to: (a) determine the design features of the physical learning environment that support and enhance collaborative, project-based learning at the community college level; and (b) to gain an understanding of the rationale for the selection of the features. The characteristics of the physical environment...
Chicken embryonic cells (CEC) cultured in vitro were able to
withstand the toxicity of DDT at concentrations below 10μg/ml culture
medium. When the DDT concentration exceeded the toxic level, CEC
appeared vacuolated and lost the spindle-like fibroblastic appearance,
Gas chromatographic analysis had shown that the uptake of DDT (3μg/
ml'culture...
The purpose of this study is to explore the applicability of Collins’ (2001) Good-to-Great theory, as originally introduced for the business sector and as adapted for the social sector, to the ways a community college moved from being “good” to being
“great.” The following questions guided the research: (1) Which...
