The Environmental Conditioning System (ECS) was designed to evaluate the
water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures. The ECS subjects asphalt concrete specimens to a series of conditioning cycles including water flow, elevated and/or lowered temperature, and repeated axial loading. The purpose of this research was to: (1) evaluate the ECS...
Proteinase P-II purified from parasitized Pacific whiting muscle was previously
identified to be one form of cathepsin L. It appeared to be present in three isozymatic
forms on non-denaturing PAGE gel stained for activity. Its autolytic degradation was
observed on SDS-PAGE gel under its optimum condition, 55°C and pH 5.5,...
As a Member State of the European Community (EC), the United Kingdom's marine capture fisheries must be managed within the framework of the Community's common fisheries policy (see Box 1). Since 1983 this has included a system of annual total allowable catches (TACs) for most commercially important stocks within the...
The atmospheric transport and deposition of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs), including current and historic use pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), to mountain ecosystems may result in the exposure of tadpoles to these SOCs. This exposure has been implicated in amphibian population declines in California. Tadpoles encounter...
This publication is one of the first attempts to describe Oregon's seafood industry in economic terms. It draws together information from many local, state, and federal sources. When data were not available, they were developed from basic sources.
The most active phenolics in Quercus sideroxyla Humb. & Bonpl. residual bark were identified and evaluated following a chromatographic fractionation. Bark powder was defatted with hexane and crude extract (CE) was obtained by extraction with aqueous acetone (70%). A liquid partition with ethyl acetate was performed to produce an organic...
ICES – the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea – was founded more than a century ago out of
concern for overfishing. However, today’s global marine ecosystems are for the most part in a degraded state, many
alarmingly so. Why is the science used so little to make...
