Whole ecosystem carbon dioxide (CO₂) exchange estimated with the eddy covariance (EC) technique has been central to studies on the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to disturbance and intra‐annual and interannual variations in climate, but challenges exist in understanding and reducing the uncertainty in estimates of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of...
Victoria blight of oats is caused by the fungus Cochhobolus victoriae. This fungus is pathogenic due to its ability to produce the host-selective toxin victorin. Previously, a 100-kD protein that binds victorin in vivo only in susceptible genotypes was identified as
the P protein of the glycine decarboxylase complex (GDC)....
The oxidation of sorbitol by soluble extracts of A. suboxydans proceeds by two pathways depending upon which pyridine nucleotide is present. In the presence of TPN, sorbose is formed. In the presence of DPN fructose is
produced. Both products of the oxidation of sorbitol have been identified by paper chromatography,...
A transaminase (aminotransferase, EC 2. 6. 1) was extracted and
purified approximately 148-fold from shoot tips of pea (Pisum sativum
L. cv. Alaska) seedlings and some properties of the enzyme were
determined. The purification included acetone precipitation followed
by column chromatography on hydroxylapatite.
With a-ketoglutarate as co-substrate, the acetone precipitated...
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var.
Crimson Sweet) was seeded in a commercial peat mix in multicell
containers (72 cells-tray⁻¹, 40 cm³-cell⁻¹) in July 1989 and April 1990.
In 1989, the medium was amended with CaC0₃ at 10% w:v. In 1990, no
CaC0₃ amendment was made. Watermelon seedling...
The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PTBR) of trout brain was
pharmacologically characterized and pyrethroid interaction with this site
investigated. High-affinity binding sites for [³H]PK 11195 were detected in brain
membranes of rainbow trout; these shared some of the characteristics of the
PTBR of rodent brain (i.e., high affinity for PK 11195...
This dissertation seeks to contribute to a growing body of research on student outcomes by way of a public health perspective examining the intersection of education policy and adolescent mental health and well-being. The conceptual approach underpinning this project rests on the key theoretical assumption that education policy, shaped at...
