Studies reporting on potentially toxic interactions between aqueous fullerene nanoparticles (nC₆₀) and
microorganisms have been contradictory. When known confounding factors were avoided, growth yields of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli cultured in the presence and absence of independently prepared
lots of underivatized nC₆₀ were found not to be significantly different.
The frequent misidentification of Asian garments in small museum collections indicated the need for a garment identification system specifically for use in differentiating the various forms of Asian clothing. The decision tree system proposed in this thesis is intended to provide an instrument to distinguish the clothing styles of Japan,...
At Oregon State University a library collection assessment is a required part of the review process for every new academic program proposal. Over time, this assessment has moved away from a brief statement regarding the adequacy of the collection to support the new program to a more thorough evaluation and...
Experiments were conducted in North and South America during 2012-2013 to
evaluate the use of lure combinations of sex pheromones (PH), host plant volatiles
(HPV), and food baits in traps to capture the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta
(Busck) and codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) in pome and stone fruit...
BACKGROUND:
AVI-7288 is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer with positive charges that targets the viral messenger RNA that encodes Marburg virus (MARV) nucleoprotein. Its safety in humans is undetermined.
METHODS:
We assessed the efficacy of AVI-7288 in a series of studies involving a lethal challenge with MARV in nonhuman primates. The...

Disease dilution (reduced disease prevalence with increasing biodiversity) has been described for
many different pathogens. Although the mechanisms causing this phenomenon remain unclear,
the disassembly of communities to predictable subsets of species, which can be caused by
changing climate, land use, or invasive species, underlie one important hypothesis. In this...
