This study addresses perceptions, expectations, and values of women who espoused interest in joining National Panhellenic Conference sorority organizations, and the congruence of their beliefs with their first term membership experiences. The sources that informed women's expectations were also explored. Eight participants were selected from the potential new member pool...
This bibliography represents selected literature pertinent to interaction studies of vegetation-seedling competition in reforestation; it is not a complete review of the scientific literature.
The ChemCam campaign at the fluvial sedimentary outcrop ‘‘Shaler’’ resulted in observations of 28
non-soil targets, 26 of which included active laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), and all of
which included Remote Micro-Imager (RMI) images. The Shaler outcrop can be divided into seven facies
based on grain size, texture, color,...
A suite of eight rocks analyzed by the Curiosity Rover while it was stopped at the Rocknest sand
ripple shows the greatest chemical divergence of any potentially sedimentary rocks analyzed in the early
part of the mission. Relative to average Martian soil and to the stratigraphically lower units encountered as...
Measurements of stratospheric water vapor by the Microwave Limb Sounder aboard the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite show that in the tropical lower stratosphere, low‐frequency variations are closely related to the annual cycle in tropical tropopause temperatures. Tropical stratospheric air appears to retain information about the tropopause conditions it encountered for...
Management of marine ecosystems increasingly demands comprehensive and quantitative assessments of ocean health,
but lacks a tool to do so. We applied the recently developed Ocean Health Index to assess ocean health in the relatively
data-rich US west coast region. The overall region scored 71 out of 100, with sub-regions...

Zoysiagrasses (Zoysia Willd.) are a slow-growing, tetraploid (2n = 4x = 40) turfgrass that can be successfully managed with less input than many other warm-season grasses. Despite extensive genetic and morphological variation, genotypes with the ability to recuperate quickly from damage are rare. Therefore, a long-term effort to increase vegetative...
Infection with Helicobacter pylori is a major risk factor for the development of gastric cancer, and infection with strains carrying the virulence factor CagA significantly increases this risk. To investigate the mechanisms by which CagA promotes carcinogenesis, we generated transgenic zebrafish expressing CagA ubiquitously or in the anterior intestine. Transgenic...
The Curiosity rover has analyzed various detrital sedimentary rocks at Gale Crater, among which fluvial and lacustrine rocks are predominant. Conglomerates correspond both to the coarsest sediments analyzed and the least modified by chemical alteration, enabling us to link their chemistry to that of source rocks on the Gale Crater...
