Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease where paralysis of the body is the result of motor neuron function loss. A potential cause of ALS is the loss of zinc from Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). SOD’s cellular responsibility is to enzymatically react with the superoxide anion forming oxygen and the...

The publicly subsidized Federal Crop Insurance Program has expanded rapidly in recent decades in the United States. With the reform in the 2014 Farm Bill, the Federal Crop Insurance Program has become the most important component of U.S. farm policies. The primary goal of the program is to provide risk...
Here the diversity and phylogeny of the genus, Sthereus Motschulsky, 1845, and its nearest associates in the large subfamily Molytinae are explored through molecular and morphological characters. Sanger sequencing of five genes determined that Sthereus is not monophyletic. Instead, the one species in the genus Gastrotaphrus Buchanan 1936, G. barberi...
Three experiments whose objectives were to investigate cover
crop kill by winter freeze, weed suppression by 'Micah' barley and
other spring cereals, and allelopathic potential of cereal covers
were conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm and in the greenhouse
and growth chamber facilities at OSU in 1989/90. Kill by winter...
The WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project) application computes soil loss and sediment yield from a field based on the data on crops, management practices, and operations. In order to make WEPP, which is a Windows-based application, easily accessible, Web WEPP (Web-based WEPP) was developed by our research group.
Web WEPP...
Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is a standard for estimating soil loss caused by rainfall and overland flow. The current software tool that implements this standard is RUSLE 1.06b, which is a stand-alone DOS application. In this project, we converted the DOS application to a Web application, which we...
WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project) is a stand-alone Windows application for predicting water erosion from overland flow on a hillslope. This application was developed by the National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory (NSERL). To make the WEPP application more accessible and easy to use, we created a web version of WEPP,...
Web-based Pesticide Screening Tool (Web-PST) is a web-based software application for evaluating the potential risk of pesticides on the surrounding environment. It uses the formulas and standards specified by the Soil/Pesticide Interaction Screening Procedure Version II (SPISP II). Web-PST closely models the stand-alone Windows application Windows Pesticide Screening Tool (WIN-PST)....
We have developed a web-based software tool for evaluating the potential risk of pesticides on the surrounding environment. The software tool is called Web-based Pesticide Screening Tool (Web-PST). It uses the formulas and standards specified by the Soil/Pesticide Interaction Screening Procedure Version II (SPISP II). Web-PST closely models the stand-alone...
With the rapid development of Internet technology and popularity of Web solutions, the Internet has become a major means for collecting information. The Weatherlnfo system is conceived and developed to provide weather data for end users in tabular and graphic formats over the Internet. In order to make data retrieval...
