Cancer is class of diseases that has great diversity and unfortunately is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Chemotherapy remains an important cancer treatment modality, and superior chemotherapeutic drugs are constantly being sought. Gemcitabine is an anti-tumor chemotherapeutic drug and it is the first line...

Accessions of common wheat (Triticum aestivum
L. subsp. aestivum) from the USDA–ARS
National Small Grains Collection (NSGC) are a
resource for wheat scientists worldwide. The
genetic diversity of the wheat core subset, representing
approximately 10% of the collection’s
42,138 T. aestivum accessions, was examined
using 390 diversity arrays technology (DArT)...

Includes regional tips for various parts of Oregon.
The end of the Cold War brought about changes within international political relations that resulted in expanded interest in global civil society. Such developments, like globalization and democratization, have encouraged the growth of social and political organizations. Political scientists have found that these inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations have a significant...

Historians and sociologists of science often identify the efflorescence of social stud ies of science with the work of postwar American intellectuals such as Robert K. Merton and Thomas S. Kuhn. They often also refer to the views of Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) on the roles of tacit knowledge, apprenticeship, social...
The objective of this study was to examine the life history of
vine maple on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This study was
conducted as a part of an I. B. P. general study of understory biomass
and productivity. The specific objectives were to 1) estimate the
contribution of...
Lycopodium alkaloids have generated enormous amounts of interest from the scientific community, both as synthetic targets and for their medicinal properties. Herein is described work towards a unifying approach to large segments of the Lycopodium family. An organocatalyzed intramolecular heteroatom Michael reaction method, for the construction of piperidine and piperizine...
Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

The purpose of this study was to determine if
students' school-related attitudes are significantly
affected by teacher classroom discipline management based
upon concepts contained in Judicious Discipline: A Constitutional
Perspective for School Rules (Gathercoal, 1986).
The data relative to student school-related attitudes
of elementary, middle, and high school students toward...
The collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis, MN in 2007 prompted an investigation into the design and inspection of the steel truss bridges. Further investigation into the collapse revealed that a gusset plate experienced sway buckling, causing the bridge failure. This bridge failure motivated research into the analysis and...
The fact that measuring a quantum system reduces it to apparently classical behavior, eliminating the interference patterns that are a hallmark of quantumness, cries out for an explanation. That explanation has been provided by the recognition of decoherence,whereby the interference is destroyed by the very interaction that acquires information.We begin...
This research addresses the perception of leadership attributes in light of evaluator and target gender. It specifically investigates whether there is a difference in language usage when the evaluator is female versus when the evaluator is male. Two studies were conducted. A pre-test used instrumental development drawing from studies conducted...
