Non-vascularized hearts of buffalo sculpin (Enophrys bison)
were used to investigate the cardiac toxicity of compounds that
cause methemoglobinemia. The affinity of sculpin cardiac myoglobin
for oxygen (P50 = 1.10 torr at 20 C°, pH 7.8) was lower than that of
mammals studied (P50 = .44 and .76 torr for...
Seasonal diet and food selection of California quail (Callipepla
californica) were studied at E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon,
during 1985 to 1987. Analysis of diets of 105 quail, along with
information from 117 quail taken during 1976 to 1978 revealed 14 key
plant foods. Collectively, the key foods composed 87%...

The Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management propose to adopt coordinated ecosystem management direction for the lands they administer within the range of the northern spotted owl. This Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SETS) presents as alternatives the options, with slight modifications, developed by the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment...
The results of SDS-PAGE and densitometry indicated that a significant amount of myofibrillar proteins was lost during surimi processing. Microfiltration (MF) was utilized to recover insoluble particulate. The MF-recovered proteins showed highly functional properties in gel hardness, cohesiveness, color, and water retention ability. The soluble proteins concentrated by ultrafiltration (UF)...
In their respective novels, The House Behind the Cedars (1900) and
Passing (1929), both Charles Chesnutt and Nella Larsen utilize racial
passing, the process of a mixed-race individual living as "white," to
explore the relations between black and white people during early-twentieth century America. This thesis specifically argues that
