For ras gene mutation analysis in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus
mykiss) model system, a partial trout ras sequence was identified
using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two synthetic
oligonucleotides based on rat K-ras gene sequence were used as
primers for the PCR procedure. A 90 base pair (bp) sequence,
referred...
Eleven years (1932-1942) of electric potential and magnetic measurement at the Tucson observatory
represent a unique very long period magnetotelluric (MT) data set. We report here on a careful reanalysis of this
data using modern processing techniques. We have developed and used novel methods for separating out the
quasi-periodic daily...
Over 20 global ocean tide models have been developed since 1994, primarily as a
consequence of analysis of the precise altimetric measurements from TOPEX/POSEIDON and as a result of parallel developments numerical tidal modeling and data assimilation. This paper
provides an accuracy assessment of 10 such tide models and discusses...
Contributions of sites, rootstocks, and scion clones (and the nteractions between these factors) to scion growth and reproduction were studied in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Twenty-five full-sib families were used as rootstocks. Six scion clones were grafted on them in all combinations. Study sites were three seed orchards in...
