The consistent application of phosphatase inhibitors and a novel final purification step using a connected series of DE-51, DE-52, and DE-53 anion exchange chromatography columns facilitate the preparation of electrophoretically homogeneous sub-pupulations of rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase which differ in their catalytic properties and endogenous covalent phosphate contents. A band of...
The purpose of this project is to design and implement an intermediate language interpreter for a very high level language called Bagit. The Bagit compiler produces Bcode, and this in turn is interpreted by the program described in this report.
Obesity is a major public health problem and is a risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. In addition, the prevalence of obesity appears to be increasing worldwide, making it important to determine the nature and extent of obesity in populations at risk. The aim of this study...
The purpose of the dissertation was to gain an understanding of variables that influence the psychosocial health of Asian American college students. There is sufficient literature support indicating this population experience greater levels of intrapersonal and interpersonal distress compared to non-Asian peers, and the significant role of family in their...
The connectivity among straits of the northwest Pacific marginal seas is investigated with a primitive-equation ocean circulation model simulated for 10 years from 1994 to 2003. Over the simulation interval the temporal and spatial means and variations of the model sea surface temperature are comparable to those of the satellite...
Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot fungi in the Agaricomycetes, which also contains non–lignin-degrading brown rot and ectomycorrhizal species. Comparative analyses of 31 fungal...

Toxoplasma gondii, the most common parasitic infection of human brain and eye, persists across lifetimes, can progressively damage sight, and is currently incurable. New, curative medicines are needed urgently. Herein, we develop novel models to facilitate drug development: EGS strain T. gondii forms cysts in vitro that induce oocysts in...

Reproductive timing in corals is associated with environmental variables including temperature, lunar periodicity, and
seasonality. Although it is clear that these variables are interrelated, it remains unknown if one variable in particular acts as
the proximate signaler for gamete and or larval release. Furthermore, in an era of global warming,...
