  • Physiology of interrenal function in juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and effects of hatchery rearing practices

    Creator:
    Patino, Reynaldo
    Abstract:
    Periodic determinations of plasma hormone levels suggested that changes in interrenal activity are unrelated to changes in thyroidal or gonadal activity during development (smoltification) of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Moreover, in an experiment where fish were reared under various conditions of crowding and water inflow rate, it appeared that...

    Gainutdinova, Olesya
    Abstract:
    Using a panel data set on the local telecommunications companies reporting to the FCC for 1988-95, this paper investigates the subadditivity of the cost function, as well as technical and allocative inefficiency of the U.S. local telephone industry. The subadditivity test on the estimated translog cost function indicates that certain...

  • Bacterial Predation in Host Microbiomes

    Creator:
    Welsh, Rory M.
    Abstract:
    In host-associated microbiomes, the mechanisms that regulate community composition or the principles that govern dynamics remain far from clear. However, understanding how the structure of microbial communities shift as the system moves away from a healthy state is critical to assessing disease progression and to formulate any potential mitigation strategy....
