Selenoprotein W (SeW) is a protein whose function is unknown, but potentially plays a vital role in calcium metabolism, as an indirect link has been established with white muscle disease (WMD). White muscle disease occurs in selenium deficient animals, and is characterized by the precipitation of calcium in muscle, leading...
This study concentrates on analysis of LongEZ aircraft data taken offshore of the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Due to the land structure of the region, it was possible to isolate the effect of narrow land on air as it flows offshore. The narrow land (Outer Banks) separates inland...
Several large-scale marine heatwave events occurred during the last 10 years in the North Pacific. A particular extreme marine heatwave in the North Pacific called the blob created an unprecedented high peak of sea surface temperature (SST) during 2013/14. MHW events had significant impacts on downstream weather and precipitation patterns...
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of a Filipino American college student organization at a Predominantly White Institution, and uncover elements of the organization that influence or limit the development of critical consciousness of its members. This study focuses on the aspect of critical consciousness that...
One hundred seventy-eight Agrobacterium isolates, 120 United
States (U.S.), 26 Australian and 32 of miscellaneous origin, were
characterized for their reactions to 20 biochemical and physiological
tests. Isolate pathogenicity and degree of host specificity, utilization
of nopaline and octopine, and sensitivity to agrocin-84 also were
determined. The U.S. isolates were...
Gamma-gamma directional correlations were measured
in Ba¹³⁴ at ten angles between 90 degrees and 180 degrees in ten
degree increments using a scintillation spectrometer. The spectrometer
which used NaI crystals, differential energy selection,
and standard coincidence techniques was tested by measuring the
directional correlation of the two cascade gamma rays...
The effect of a static quadrupole interaction on the 133-482 Kev
gamma-gamma angular correlation in Ta-181 has been studied by the
delayed coincidence method. Using a source of Hf-181 in polycrystalline
hafnium metal, the anisotropy was measured as a function of
time between the formation and decay of the 482...
