Studies on hydromineral balance in fishes frequently employ measurements of electrolytes following euthanasia. We tested the effects of fresh- or salt-water euthanasia baths of tricaine mesylate (MS-222) on plasma magnesium (Mg²⁺) and sodium (Na⁺) ions, cortisol and osmolality in fish exposed to saltwater challenges, and the ion and steroid hormone...
Since around 1923 Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murray)
Parl.) has been affected by Phytophthora root disease caused by the virulent introduced
pathogen Phytophthora lateralis. A systematic resistance testing and breeding program
located at the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center in Cottage Grove,
Oregon was initiated in 1997 with...

The attachment of myristic acid to the N-terminal glycine residue of many
eukaryotic and viral proteins is often essential for the acquisition of the protein's
biological activity. Vaccinia virus (VV), the prototype member of the Poxviridae,
expresses several myristylated proteins during the course of infection. Only one of
these proteins,...

On April 7, 2014 the Center for Research on Lifelong STEM Learning and the Office of the Associate Provost for Academic Success and Engagement1 launched the Undergraduate Success Initiative with an invitational workshop entitled Redefining Undergraduate Success. A small planning team convened a group of 32 faculty and administrators with...
The use of dimensionless scaling is ubiquitous to hydrodynamic analysis, providing a powerful method of extending limited experimetnal results and generalizing theories. Miller and Miller [1956] contributed a scaling framework for immiscible fluid flow through porous media that relied on consistency of the contact angle between systems to be compared....
Differential investment in offspring has been reported for many mammals, often in the context of the Trivers–
Willard model of male-biased investment, but evidence of differential investment in pronghorns (Antilocapra
americana) is largely lacking. We assessed the causes and consequences of different birth masses of littermate
fawns in a pronghorn...
