We evaluate a regional-scale simulation with the WRF-Chem model for the VAMOS (Variability of the American Monsoon Systems) Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx), which sampled the Southeast Pacific's persistent stratocumulus deck. Evaluation of VOCALS-REx ship-based and three aircraft observations focuses on analyzing how aerosol loading affects marine boundary layer (MBL)...
Statistical hypothesis testing has been widely criticized by ecologists in recent
years. I review some of the more persistent criticisms of P values and argue that most stem
from misunderstandings or incorrect interpretations, rather than from intrinsic shortcomings
of the P value. I show that P values are intimately linked...
Signal transduction within and between cells is at the core of biological activity in all living systems. Signaling networks are required for regulating biological functions, including growth, development and survival.

Pythium species are important soilborne pathogens occurring in the forest nursery industry of the Pacific Northwest. However, little is known about their genetic diversity or population structure and it is suspected that isolates are moved among forest nurseries on seedling stock and shared field equipment. In order to address these...
Cultivated potato crops are sensitive to
drought stress, reducing yield and tuber quality when the soil water potential drops to -0.3
MPa. However, drought not only affects plant growth and physiological activity, but this

triggering genes that...
In recent years, the Promotion and Tenure process has been increasingly called into question by state lawmakers, public citizens, and even the academic community. With such questions in mind, Ball State University has worked to amend our promotion and tenure procedures to embrace inclusion and innovation, both by emphasizing the...
Chile’s open trade policy, implemented during the last few decades, has greatly transformed Chilean farmers and their production systems. As a result, farmers can be grouped into three categories based on their market-production orientation: domestic, transitional or export producers.

In this paper we consider the total space of the canonical bundle of P² and we use a proposal by Hosono, together with results of Seidel and Auroux–Katzarkov–Orlov, to deduce the physical mirror equivalence between D[superscript b][subscript P²] (K[subscript P²]) and the derived Fukaya category of its mirror which assigns...
We study photocurrent generation in individual suspended carbon nanotube pn junctions using spectrally-resolved scanning photocurrent microscopy. Spatial maps of the photocurrent allow us to determine the length of the pn junction intrinsic region, as well as the role of the n-type Schottky barrier. We show that reverse-bias operation eliminates complications...
Slow perturbations of the drop speed of a nearly freely falling, winged, microstructure probe in the upper

The Genome-Wide Association Studies approach was used to detect Quantitative Trait Loci associated with tocochromanol concentrations using a panel of 1,466 barley accessions. All major tocochromanol types- α-, β-, δ-, γ-tocopherol and tocotrienol- were assayed. We found 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the concentration of one or more of...
Dissolved C, N, P, and Si budgets for Tomales Bay, California, have been used to solve simultaneous stoichiometric equations which describe a plausible material balance for net organic matter reactions in the bay. Dissolved Si and P were both exported hydrographically. Dissolved C and fixed N were imported hydrographically. If...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants generated as byproducts of natural and anthropogenic combustion processes. Despite significant public health concern, physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling efforts for PAHs have so far been limited to naphthalene, plus simpler PK models for pyrene, nitropyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). The dearth of...
Velocity time series are used to study cross-shelf circulation on the northern California shelf and to examine classical ideas of locally wind-forced cross-shelf circulation. A simple linear two-dimensional model of cross-shelf transport is compared to estimates of cross-shelf transport in the near surface, interior, and near bottom. In winter, when...
Objective streamfunction and velocity potential maps of three commonly observed flow states near Point Conception, California, are derived from moored current-meter and drifter observations.

Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) is a transplacental carcinogen in mice (15 mg/kg; gestation day (GD) 17). To mimic residual exposure throughout pregnancy, dams received 4 smaller doses of DBC (3.75 mg/kg) on GD 5, 9, 13 and 17. This regimen alleviated the previously established carcinogenic responses in the thymus, lung, and liver....
