A micropropagation system was developed for hazelnut cultivars and
rootstocks. Culture establishment was affected by explant source, explant collecting
season, and type of explant. The highest frequency of culture initiation and lowest
tissue oxidation and contamination were obtained from internodes with single axillary
buds from grafted greenhouse-grown plants early in...
Most blackberry and raspberry (Rubus) seed exhibit delayed or poor germination because of a deep double dormancy. The objective of this study was to improve seed scarification and germination protocols for the diverse Rubus species in two subgenera often used for breeding improved cultivars. We also defined the germination potential...

E. coli thioredoxin (TRX) was modified by the episulfonium ion derived from S-(2-chloroethyl)glutathione (CEG) or S-(2-chloroethyl)cysteine (CEC). The alkylation site was located at Cys-32, which was confirmed by tandem mass spectrometry. Two forms of native TRX, Oxi- and Red-TRX, and two modified TRXs, GS- and Cys-TRX, were examined by hydrogen/deuterium...
The purpose of the study was to compare differences among 18 personality
trait scales of the California Personality Inventory (CPI), six American Association of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation (AAHPER) tests of physical fitness, and
Ponderal Index (PI, or body mass) measurements for a population of ethnic Chinese
and aboriginal...
Community colleges are experiencing a decline in state allocated funding. Traditionally, college administrators look for ways to cut expenditures and raise tuition and fees to make up for the shortfall. Using available land resources to generate a revenue stream may provide revenue for community colleges.
The purpose of this study...
An ancient delta complex is partly recorded by the upper seven
formations of the Cretaceous Nanaimo Group exposed on Mayne and
Samuel Islands of southwestern British Columbia. Features especially
suggestive of deltaic sedimentation here are: upward-coarsening
marine to fluvial sequences, cyclic repetition of facies, subaqueous
slumping, fluvial-marine interfingering, facies changes,...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Roger Barton
Byproducts of bamboo processing, such as leaves and branches, may have potential as a livestock feedstuff. The objectives of this study were to evaluate seasonal changes in proximate composition of several bamboo species and reed canarygrass, and subsequently determine the digestibility of bamboo in ponies. Monthly samples of Phyllostachys bissetii,...
