The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PTBR) of trout brain was
pharmacologically characterized and pyrethroid interaction with this site
investigated. High-affinity binding sites for [³H]PK 11195 were detected in brain
membranes of rainbow trout; these shared some of the characteristics of the
PTBR of rodent brain (i.e., high affinity for PK 11195...

Effects of lactobacilli in enteric coated capsules
were studied in piglets (Chapter I). Lactobacillus
acidophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus isolated from a
commercial product were formulated in capsules, enteric
coated, and then given to both Escherichia coli-challenged
and unchallenged baby pigs. Decreased
incidence and severity of diarrhea, and decreased weight
deceleration...
This publication is offered as a reference to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) resources available to Oregon growers. It highlights university, federal, state, and private services and resources that provide support to growers in the implementation of IPM programs. The Guide consists of five sections: • An introduction to the National...
Physical activity recognition using accelerometer data is a rapidly emerging field with many real-world applications. Much of the previous work in this area has assumed that the accelerometer data has already been segmented into pure activities, and the activity recognition task has been to classify these segments. In reality, activity...
We report new ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages for the oldest Pacific oceanic floor at Ocean Drilling Program Site 801C in the Pigafetta basin and Site 1149D close to the Izu-Bonin subduction zone in the Nadezhda basin. These ages were determined by applying high-resolution incremental heating experiments (including 15–30 heating steps) to better...
Weight-loss supplements typically fall into 1 of 4 categories depending on their hypothesized mechanism of action: products that block the absorption of fat or carbohydrate, stimulants that increase thermogenesis, products that change metabolism and improve body composition, and products that suppress appetite or give a sense of fullness. Each category...
Infestations of container nursery beds by Phytophthora spp. can be persistent and costly. One method of disinfestation that does not require the use of chemicals is soil solarization, which captures energy from the sun to heat soil and thermally inactivate target pathogens. In laboratory temperature gradient experiments, I investigated the...
Sediment along the western end of the Newport North Marina Jetty is free of contaminants such as metals, PAHs, pesticides, PCBs, phenols and TBT. According to guidelines developed to implement the CWA and MPRSA, the sediment is acceptable for both in-water and upland disposal.
