Chitosan based hemorrhage control dressings provide effective external hemorrhage control while having few side effects. Known residual contaminants present in chitosan formulations include endotoxins and proteins known to stimulate gene expression in the liver. This study investigated gene expression in the liver using rat bio-compatibility models to gain knowledge regarding...

Pactamycin, a complex aminocyclitol compound produced by Streptomyces pactum, has significant antibiotic, antitumor, and antiplasmodial activity. However, this natural product has not been developed for clinical use due to its high cytotoxicity. Modulation of its biological properties by chemical synthesis has been difficult due to its complex chemical structure. Therefore,...

When characterizing the processes that shape ecosystems, ecologists increasingly use the unique perspective
offered by repeat observations of remotely sensed imagery. However, the concept of change embodied in much of
the traditional remote-sensing literature was primarily limited to capturing large or extreme changes occurring
in natural systems, omitting many more...

Understanding the causes and consequences of rapid environmental change is an essential scientific frontier, particularly given the threat of climate-and land use-induced changes in disturbance regimes. In western North America, recent widespread insect outbreaks and wildfires have sparked acute concerns about potential insect-fire interactions. Although previous research shows that insect...

The National Forest System (NFS) of the United States plays an important role in the carbon cycle because
these lands make up a large proportion of the forested land in the country and commonly store more wood
per unit area than other forest ownerships. In addition to sustaining natural resources,...

Endophytes are bacteria or fungi that live within a host plant. The plant host provides a home for endophytes, and in return endophytes produce primary and secondary metabolites, of which many of the secondary metabolites possess biological activities. When microorganisms are grown under various media conditions, they produce different natural...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF

Alcoves in some river systems are cooler than the mainstem of the river and
provide thermal refugia for aquatic species. An energy balance and sensitivity analysis on 3 alcoves in the Willamette River, Oregon indicate that alcove size and alcove flux determine the degree to which meteorological conditions affect the...

Obtaining accurate estimates of animal abundance is made difficult by the fact that most
animal species are detected imperfectly. Early attempts at building likelihood models that
account for unknown detection probability impose a simplifying assumption unrealistic for
many populations, however: no births, deaths, migration or emigration can occur in the...
