2 -acetylaminofluorene -induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats
proceeds in stages of initiation and promotion, similar to experimental
systems, in mouse skin. In this study promoters of liver
tumorigenesis, phenobarbital, DDT and butylated hydroxytoluene
(BHT), were compared to non-promoters, amobarbital, diphenylhydantoin
(DPH) and benz(a)anthracene (BA), for their ability to
cause liver growth...
The production cross sections for a number of target fragments
formed by the reactions of 42- and 21- GeV²⁰ Ne and 28 GeV p with ¹⁸¹Ta have been measured. The target fragment radioactivities were
measured by off-line gamma-ray spectroscopy. Details of the measurement
as well as the calculation of the...
The topic of species distribution modelling has been on of increasing interest in
recent years. As climate change is becoming of even more interest to researchers,
more tools are needed to better analyze and predict various climate change scenarios.
One particular area of interest is that of species distribution modeling....
Water quality problems related to excessive algal
growth, high nutrient loading, and low flows have been
occurring along Oregon's Tualatin River. The Tualatin River
is 86 miles long and has a drainage basin of 711 square
miles. The drainage basin incorporates forest,
agricultural, and urban areas. Located in the Portland...
Oregon land use specialists believe that the present
definitions of farm and forest land in the state planning
goals are too broad. This results in poor quality resource
lands being as strongly protected as those of top quality.
With persistent growth pressure on rural lands, a means to
distinguish among...
The human health effects of acute exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation are well understood; however, when these irradiations occur at low levels, there is controversy as to their potential health threat (BEIR V, 1990). For individuals living in areas where the level of naturally occurring background radiation is...
As part of a research program to study the transitional region of N=88
isotones, ¹⁵²Tb was produced by the reaction ¹⁵¹Eu(α,3n)¹⁵²Tb in the 88" cyclotron
located at LBNL. Gamma-ray spectroscopy of the radiation emitted from excited
¹⁵²Gd following the β⁺ decay of ¹⁵²Tb has been performed using an array of...
The recursive and stochastic representation of solutions to the Fourier transformed Navier-Stokes equations, as introduced by [34], is extended in several ways. First, associated families of functions known as majorizing kernels are analyzed, in light of their apparently essential role in the representation. Second, the theory is put on a...
