This dissertation considers two approaches for testing hypotheses in
unbalanced mixed linear models. The first approach is to construct a design with
some type of structure or "partial" balance, so that some of the optimal properties of
a completely balanced design hold. It is shown that for a particular type...

This report summarizes the outcomes of a March 22-25, 2010, workshop in Seattle, Washington, on the environmental effects of tidal energy development. The workshop focused on building capabilities to evaluate the environmental effects of tidal energy from turbines placed in the water column throughout the United States. However, it did...
The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of selenium on
selenoprotein W. Western blot analysis indicated that selenoprotein W is present in
muscle, brain, testis and spleen of rat tissues. Tissue distribution of selenoprotein W
was not altered in rats fed various selenium levels. Among muscle, brain,...
Rat selenoprotein W (SeW) promoter activity was investigated using different concentrations of cadmium, copper, and zinc. Two fragments (404bp and 1265bp) of the SeW promoter, containing a single metal response element (MRE), were ligated into the multiple cloning site of a pGL3-Basic reporter plasmid. The constructs were transfected into cultured...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to characterize
the lipids of the spores and vegetative cells of Cl. botulinum. A
second purpose was to explore the possibility that lipids might serve
as a means of differentiating the chiefly proteolytic Cl. botulinum
type B from the nonproteolytic Cl. botulinum types...

Sampling with seine and trawl from May 1974 to November 1976 indicated that the species composition and distribution of fishes in Tillamook Bay through time is primarily related to the movements of marine species in and out of the estuary. Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax), surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus), and shiner...
Setaria lutescens (yellow foxtail) plants, grown from five seed
sources were compared in California. Seed sources were: Connecticut,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California. Morphological
and physiological differences between biotypes include: plant
size, growth habit, time required to mature and reproductive capa
city. Most significant is the prostrate habit of the...
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...
In November-December 1984 we carried out an intensive 12-day upper ocean sampling program on
the equator at 140°W as part of the Tropic Heat Experiment. From our observations we constructed
hourly averaged profiles of temperature, salinity, σ₁, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and horizontal
velocity. These data were used to...
In This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, and several of his short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald questions the importance of wealth as a factor in supporting happiness and fostering the American Dream on an individual basis. With these texts, Fitzgerald acknowledges that wealth is a factor and, simultaneously, a...
High electron mobility thin films of In₂₋ₓWₓO₃₊y(0≤x≤0.075) were prepared on amorphous SiO₂ and single-crystal yttria-stablized zirconia (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Mobilities ranged between 66 and 112 cm² /Vs depending on the substrate type and deposition conditions, and the highest mobility was observed at a W-dopant concentration of x~0.03....
I. Lithium alkyl and aryl monosubstituted cyclooctatetraenide
dianions (Li₂ C₈H₇-R; R = methyl, n- butyl, sec- butyl, tert- butyl,
phenyl and benzyl) were synthesized by the reaction of the appropriate
organolithium reagent with cyclooctatetraene in diethyl ether or
tetrahydrofuran. The reaction occurred cleanly and with good yield
of lithium monosubstituted...
Thomas and Megahan [1998] provide a thoughtful reanalysis of our earlier paper [Jones and Grant, 1996]. Thomas and Megahan [1998] (hereinafter referred to as T&M) reacted to three assertions made by Jones and Grant [1996] (hereinafter referred to as J&G): (1) "forest harvesting has increased peak discharges by as much...
Shrub-steppe ecosystems of western North America provide habitat for many wildlife species, are important components of public and private rangelands, and offer recreational opportunities for millions of people. They are some of the most vulnerable ecosystems in the United States and have been altered by human activities such as livestock...
The photochemical reaction between O⁻ ions and F centers
was investigated. The activation energy was determined by the
Arrhenius law to be 0.10 + 0.04 eV for temperature below 180°K.
