The mound-building harvester ant, Pogonmyrmex owyheei Cole,
(formerly included in the species occidentals) is widely distributed
on the semi-arid rangeland east of the Cascade mountains in Oregon.
Because of its seed foraging and vegetation clearing habits, this ant
has been considered as a possible competitor with livestock and
wildlife for...
Plants develop a vast array of cell shapes and sizes by selectively modifying their surrounding cell walls to expand in some regions and not in others. This process of morphogenesis requires the delivery of secretory vesicles to specific locations at the cell periphery, where exocytosis adds new membrane and proteins...
The purpose of this study was to ascertain to what degree, if
any, there was a difference of opinion among students, parents and
faculty in regard to student behavior as that behavior pertained to
general conduct, drug use, mischief, sex offenses, drinking, cheating
and theft.
The research study was conducted...
The testing of nuclear fuel under reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) conditions is paramount for the better understanding of the fuel’s behavior during these transient accident events. The Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) facility is a nuclear reactor that will be capable of recreating the thermal-hydraulic and neutronic boundary conditions representative of RIA...
Foodborne outbreaks involving fresh produce have been on the rise since the late 1990's. Pathogens such as Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli are prevalent in agricultural environments and commonly travel between farms via irrigation water. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has placed an increased emphasis on microbiological standards of...
Dietary restriction (DR) is the gold standard intervention used to delay aging, and much recent research has focused on
the identification of possible DR mimetics. Energy sensing pathways, including insulin/IGF1 signaling, sirtuins, and
mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR), have been proposed as pathways involved in the antiaging actions of DR,...
