The Baculoviridae is a family of DNA viruses which are obligate
pathogens for a variety of insects. Baculovirus strains came to the
attention of researchers because they provided a nonchemical
alternative for the biological control of insect pests of agriculture
and forestry (Ignoffo, 1968); however, recently they have been studied...
In the field of nutrition, complex carbohydrates have
become increasingly important in the last decade. The fiber
fraction of foods has been implicated as modifying the
etiology of several chronic diseases and the starch fraction
is important with respect to the glycemic index of foods.
This study has focused on...
The lipid composition of plasma membranes of corpora
lutea was examined to determine whether changes in this
organelle occur during regression and early pregnancy in
the ewe. Forty ewes were assigned to be necropsied on
days 13 or 15 of the estrous cycle (D13-NP and D15-NP) or
pregnancy (D13-P and...
The Bering Sea ecosystem has experienced significant climatic and biological shifts
over the past 3 decades, including temporal and spatial fluctuations of jellyfish biomass. Jellyfish
are important predators and competitors of fish; thus, it is critical to understand the effects of environmental
factors on their population dynamics. We explored the...

The Weather Radar Set An/CPS-9 at McCulloch Peak,
Oregon, provided data of changes in radar precipitation
echo patterns in the vicinity of Marys Peak. Echo heights
studied from data collected on 14 March 1963 averaged nearly
the same upwind, directly over Marys Peak, and downwind.
For the data of 28...
