The use of mobile bar code scanners is expanding to markets beyond popular manufacturing uses, such as healthcare, environmental testing and professional services. The successful interaction of users with mobile bar code scanners is of great importance from a business and technology perspective as well as from the user standpoint....
In the West, the growth of the modern, androcentric medical establishment can
be shown to be correlated with the decline in women’s authority and status in the
healing arts. As the world of science and medicine expanded exponentially, the
understanding of the body changed through the studies of anatomy and...
Creep experiments were conducted on copper polycrystals deformed within the five-power-law regime. The dislocation structure of copper, which has not been extensively characterized in the past, consists of less-well-defined subgrain walls of relatively low misorientation, typically between 0.1 and 0.3 deg, with a Frank network of dislocations within the subgrains....
The dissipation of internal wave energy in the turbulent boundary layer under pack ice is determined using a time‐varying boundary layer model with an eddy coefficient closure scheme. The magnitude of the eddy coefficient is determined by the ice drift velocity, which is assumed greater than the rms water velocity...
In-line, optical sensing has been developed for on-combine measurement and mapping of grain protein concentration (GPC). The objective of this study was to estimate changes in costs and net returns from using this technology for segregation of the dark northern spring (DNS) subclass of hard red wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)...
Circadian clocks coordinate physiological, neurological, and behavioral functions into circa 24 hour rhythms, and the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian clock oscillations are conserved from Drosophila to humans. Clock oscillations and clock-controlled rhythms are known to dampen during aging; additionally, genetic or environmental clock disruption leads to accelerated aging and increased...
An attenuated strain of Flavobacterium psychrophilum (CSF259-93B.17) has shown potential as a vaccine
for prevention of bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum).
Because BCWD outbreaks can result in high mortality in other salmonid species, specifically coho salmon,
Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum), the live-attenuated strain was tested as...

Global Positioning System vectors and surface
tilt rates are inverted simultaneously for the rotation of western
Oregon and plate locking on the southern Cascadia subduction
thrust fault. Plate locking appears to be largely
offshore, consistent with earlier studies, and is sufficient to
allow occasional great earthquakes inferred from geology.
Clockwise...
