The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of
three Oregon State Penitentiary minority inmate groups -
Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans - towards the Activities
Programs as a rehabilitative tool. Two other purposes
were to (1) determine significant differences among group
attitudes, and (2) determine the degree...
Mismatch repair is one of the mechanisms by which cells ensure genomic
stability. Deficiencies in mismatch repair (MMR) increase mutation rates and cancer
risks. In the well-characterized methyl-directed Escherichia co/i system, MMR is
initiated by MutS, Mut L, and MutH proteins. The single MutS protein and the
single MutL protein...
Four experiments were conducted (1961-1964) for the primary
purpose of studying the milk and milk constituent yields of dairy cows
under dry lot and pasture systems of management. The secondary
purpose was to compare the health and breeding performance of cows
under these two systems.
Ninety-eight cows of the Holstein...
In modern on-chip memories, an increasing demand for higher performance, lower power, reduced area, and improved robustness creates a rising need for advanced microarchitecture and circuit design techniques. Particularly in large-signal multi-ported register files, these advanced design techniques include: (i) multi-banked arrays, (ii) multi-frequency arrays, (iii) multi-bit width gating, (iv)...
Surface albedo is a key parameter in the Earth's energy balance since it affects the amount of solar radiation directly absorbed at the planet surface. Its variability in time and space can be globally retrieved through the use of remote sensing products. To evaluate and improve the quality of satellite...
