A large number of river otter (Lontra canadensis) males were collected
from areas of high and low contaminant concentrations throughout western
Oregon and Washington during the fall and winter of 1994-99. Few significant
non-reproductive organ morphometric differences were found in the large series
of male otters collected, except for adrenal...

A nifedipine sustained release dosage form was prepared by using hot-melt batch
coating. Substrates are sugar beads, mesh size 30-35. Stearic acid, Acid Triglyceride, and
carnauba wax were coating agents used to make single layer coated beads and multiple
layer coated beads containing nifedipine. Dissolution of nifedipine from the beads...

Wood joints properly made with protein glue should last indefinitely under dry conditions. However, under moist conditions some glues are subject to the actions of micro-organisms and chemical hydrolysis. In previous work the action of bacteria has been discounted as the cause of delimitation of casein glued plywood in the...
Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...
