Purposes and Method of Study
The purpose of this study was to find out if tenth grade girls
were aware of the probability that a majority of them would work at
some time during their lives, and if they planned to prepare for this
possibility. A questionnaire was designed and...
A sample of 893 Oregon individuals from a Western Regional
Agricultural Experiment Station Project (W-159 "Consequences of Energy
Conservation Policies for Western Region Households") was used to
analyze consumer attitudes toward potentially restrictive energy
conservation regulations. Belief in the seriousness of the energy
problem, a psychological measure of internal control...
A new set of data from a large-scale sand bar migration experiment is presented. During this experiment, two sandbars were generated. One of the bar was generated by the action of undertow, and sediment moved offshore. The other bar was generated by the shoreward movement of sediment coming from the...
A cascade crosscurrent column, packed with Pall rings, was
employed for carbon dioxide absorption from a carbon dioxide-rich
air phase by contacting with water. Absorption efficiency was
presented as the percentage of CO₂ removed versus gas flow rates for
constant liquid to gas ratios (L/G).
Curves were developed for an...
Understanding the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on genome evolution has the potential not only to provide new insights on the basic evolutionary processes influencing mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, but may also reveal novel avenues for evolutionary adaptive recovery from harmful mutations. Aberrant mitochondrial activity is fundamental to the pathology of...
In We have analyzed natural variation in mitochondrial form and function among a set of Caenorhabditis briggsae isolates known to harbor mitochondrial DNA structural variation in the form of a heteroplasmic nad5 gene deletion (nad5 Delta) that correlates negatively with organismal fitness. We performed in vivo quantification of 24 mitochondrial...
Coastal communities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) are rapidly engaging with the idea that hazards and environmental pressures are changing and may be characteristically different in the near future. This has led to a need for scientific knowledge and tools that can help coastal communities prepare and build resilience...
