This publication is a spreadsheet with accompanying instructions. It allows timber owners to compare the pricing strategies for four different mills to determine which mill specifications will return the highest possible revenue based on the dimensions of trees on the landowner’s property.
Background: Considering the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects of different medications, it is plausible that the age of a smoker could affect the half-life of these drugs. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of smoking cessation drugs (nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, and varenicline) used either in isolation...
These documents resulted from a summer 2013 internship for a OSU Systems Engineering student. Mr. Applegate was charged with documenting the existing seawater system at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and recommending efficiency upgrades. He produced a written report with various appendices containing system documentation and recommendations and a map....

Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and an IARC classified 2A probable human carcinogen. Mouse progeny transplacentally exposed to DBC have been shown to develop lung and liver tumors, with liver tumors developing predominantly in males later in life. Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate that plays a crucial...
Melanocytes are dendritic, pigment-producing cells located in the skin and are responsible for its protection against the deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which include DNA damage and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). They do so by synthesizing photoprotective melanin pigments and distributing them to adjacent skin cells (e.g.,...
A graphical method, based on a set of acid-base titrations, is
presented for the determination of the carbon dioxide speciation in
natural solutions. The application of this method, in conjunction
with measurements of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide with
which our solutions were in equilibrium permitted the calculation
of...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of contaminants ubiquitous in the environment and result from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Many PAHs have been identified as procarcinogenic, and are metabolized to form DNA adducts; however, other mechanisms also may contribute to toxicity and help explain differences in toxicity...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been studied for their carcinogenic toxicity. PAHs are formed by incomplete carbon combustion. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is an IARC classified Class 1 Human carcinogenic PAH. New studies are conducted to gain a better understanding of PAHs and how to reduce exposure. Glutathione S-transferase M 1 (GSTM1...
The ferlin protein family regulates membrane trafficking events for a wide range of cellular and physiological processes in eukaryotic organisms. Structurally, ferlins are distinguished by containing five to seven C2 domains with a single-pass transmembrane domain at the C-terminus. In mammals, there are 6 ferlin genes, including Fer1L6, which confer...
Environmental contributions to cancer development are widely accepted, but only a fraction of all pertinent exposures
have probably been identified. Traditional toxicological approaches to the problem have largely focused on the effects of
individual agents at singular endpoints. As such, they have incompletely addressed both the pro-carcinogenic contributions
of environmentally...
