We previously reported that inhibition of the Na⁺ translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (NQR), either by chemical inhibition or mutation, increased toxT transcription in Vibrio cholerae. In this study, we revealed that the nqr mutant strain showed similar phenotypes as the Escherichia coli NADH dehydrogenase I (nuo) mutant strain (e.g. growth defect...

We found that a strains of Yersinia pestis (KIM5) which lacked the nhaA gene was fully attenuated in a plague model. This gene produces a protein of the sodium-proton antiporter family which expel sodium ions from the bacterial cytoplasm in exchange for hydrogen ions, or protons, from the surrounding environment....

The Na⁺ translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na⁺-NQR) is a unique respiratory enzyme catalyzing the electron
transfer from NADH to quinone coupled with the translocation of sodium ions across the membrane. Typically, Vibrio spp.,
including Vibrio cholerae, have this enzyme but lack the proton-pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I).
Thus, Na⁺-NQR should significantly...

Powdery mildew of hop (Podosphaera macularis) may cause economic loss due to reductions in cone yield and quality.
Quantitative estimates of crop damage from powdery mildew remain poorly characterized, especially the effect of late season
disease management on crop yield and quality. Field studies in Washington State evaluated cone yield,...

In the Pacific Northwest snow is an important
natural resource. The inability to accurately measure or
monitor this resource throughout remote areas is a hindrance
to water management. ERTS-1 imagery provides the capability
for extracting a significant amount of scientific information
and data regarding snow conditions in accessible and inaccessible...

Canopy management is an important aspect of control of powdery mildew diseases and may influence the intensity of fungicide applications required to suppress disease. In hop, powdery mildew (caused by Podosphaera macularis) is most damaging to cones when infection occurs during bloom and the juvenile stages of cone development. Experiments...

Pattern matching is the process of comparing two objects to see if they are similar to each other. Objects can be physical objects, situations, facts or events. The criteria of matching can be exact or partial. Traditional pattern matching systems rely on exact matches, in which a small set of...
Multibeam (1 m resolution) and side scan data collected from an autonomous underwater vehicle, and
lava samples, radiocarbon-dated sediment cores, and observations of flow contacts collected by remotely
operated vehicle were combined to reconstruct the geologic history and flow emplacement processes on
Axial Seamount’s summit and upper rift zones. The...
