In Pisum, the Np gene conditions two mitotic responses - to bruchid weevil oviposition on the pod and to reduced UV light. Oviposition by the weevil results in tumorous or neoplastic growth under the egg. Biochemically active compounds, called bruchins, were isolated from two bruchid insects (Doss et al, 2000)....
As a part of my graduate program in Marine Resource Management
(MRM) at Oregon State University, I was fortunate to be able to
pursue my interest in marine and coastal policy. I spent fifteen
months as a Sea Grant intern in the United States Congress, challenged
in ways I could...
Little is known about how people living with HIV in low prevalence contexts face the challenges of stigma and
discrimination. Low prevalence and rural communities are unique environments in which HIV-related stigma
and discrimination may be intensified due to lower tolerance of differences among people and greater fear of
HIV....
"During the four meetings of the consumer modeling committee, discussion centered on the formation of systems models and the
problems they will pose for researchers concerned with consumer populations. Two coarse models were developed from these discussions, a compartment model (Figure 1) and a process model (Figure 2). The
compartments...
Background
Potentially, orally administered antibodies specific to enteric pathogens could be administered to infants to prevent diarrheal infections, particularly in developing countries where diarrhea is a major problem. However, to prevent infection, such antibodies would need to resist degradation within the gastrointestinal tract.
Methods
Palivizumab, a recombinant antibody specific to...
Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) including Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome are rare genetic disorders characterized by hematologic complications and increased risk of cancer. Patients and their families likely experience obstacles in obtaining sufficient health information given their disorders’ rarity. To investigate this possibility, we...
OBJECTIVE: To establish a statewide network to detect, control, and prevent the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
in a region with a low incidence of CRE infection.
DESIGN: Implementation of the Drug Resistant Organism Prevention and Coordinated Regional Epidemiology (DROP-CRE) Network.
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Oregon infection prevention and microbiology laboratory...
Plant wax lipids and lignin phenols are the two most common classes of molecular markers that are used to trace vascular plant-derived OM in the marine environment. However, their ¹³C and ¹⁴C compositions have not been directly compared, which can be used to constrain the flux and attenuation of terrestrial...
Engaging large numbers of undergraduates in authentic scientific discovery is desirable but difficult to achieve. We
have developed a general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a
research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics. The course...
