In mammals, CCR7 is the chemokine receptor for the CCL19 and CCL21 chemokines, molecules with a major role in the recruitment of lymphocytes to lymph nodes and Peyer´s patches in the intestinal mucosa, especially naïve T lymphocytes. In the current work, we have identified a CCR7 homologue in rainbow trout...
Seedlings from 25 provenances of Abies grandis and Abies
concolor were studied at two plantations, 12 at Philomath, Oregon,
and 13 at Camino, California. Native seedlings were studied at four
of the provenances' field sites. Stomatal infiltration pressure
measurements and plant moisture stress measurements were made
throughout one summer on...
Novel synthetic strategies are developed to prepare new intercalation compounds and nanocomposites with several layered hosts (NiPS₃, Na-montmorillonite, MoS₂ and MoO₃). In these products, alkali metals are ionic intercalates and linear polymers, dendrimers or amines act as co-intercalates. In addition to new synthetic approaches, new structures are identified and characterized....
A taxonomic study of the genus Gautieria Vitt. is presented.
Existing type collections were re-examined, fully described and
figures. Twenty-six species are recognized. Two provisional subgenera
are proposed: Gautieria and Clelandia. Within the subgenus
Gautieria, two provisional sections are proposed: Gautieria and
Trappea. G. morchellaeformis var. globospora, and
G. morchellaeformis...
The evolving United States demographics, evident from the most recent census, show a steady population growth for Hispanics. Research suggests that after immigrating to the United States, first-generation Hispanic populations seem vulnerable to weight gain and development of chronic disease. Many health professionals recognize the increased need for Spanish language...

Leukemogenesis, uncontrolled proliferation of dysfunctional, transformed immature lymphocytes, appears, especially in children, to be associated with abrogation of normal lymphopoiesis, and thymopoiesis in the case of T cell leukemias. Sequence specific transcription factors (SSTFs) are nuclear control switches that respond to cellular signals to alter cell state and cell fate...
Life cycle exposures to hazards from existing and newly developed products and production processes, demands from external stakeholders for compliance with regulations, requirements from internal stakeholders for connecting management systems to lean company initiatives and market pressures have motivated U.S. based semiconductor companies to adopt an integrated-lean approach to environment,...
The Oaxaca Valley, located in the state of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico, was the site of the Zapotec civilization and its now famous capital, Monte Albán. This site, with political, military, and economic influence and control, helped to consolidate the three arms of the Oaxaca Valley, resulting in a state-level...
Landscape positions have been used to determine soil properties. My soil study in Monteverde on the Pacific slope of Costa Rica was designed to examine soil-landscape relationships for sites with various land use histories and management. Soil pits were dug at Nacimiento y Vida, Crandell, Curi-cancha, La Calandria, and Finca...
What historical and political reality is reflected in the novels Gringo viejo and La frontera de cristal? What is revealed when the characters, plot, and setting of the novels are analyzed against research of the context of U.S.-Mexico relations? We begin to explore these questions by studying three periods crucial...
