Individuals who are parents and students on TANF experience challenges accessing and persisting in higher education. This study explored the experiences of TANF recipients who are navigating a return to higher education and the impact of college on how they construct a future self. Two theoretical frameworks were used to...
The Oaxaca Valley, located in the state of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico, was the site of the Zapotec civilization and its now famous capital, Monte Albán. This site, with political, military, and economic influence and control, helped to consolidate the three arms of the Oaxaca Valley, resulting in a state-level...
Three sets of blood samples were taken from 532 beef calves of two populations at 24 to 48 h after birth, at an average age of 164 d (at time of vaccination for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus or IBRV) and at an average age of 224 d (60 d postvaccination)....
We compared the abundance, diversity, and composition of truffles in riparian and upland areas within a
mixed-conifer forest of the Sierra Nevada of California. We sampled for truffles in a single watershed over two seasons
(spring and summer) and 4 years to determine whether truffles were more abundant and diverse...
The complete genome of snakehead rhabdovirus (SHRV) was cloned and
molecularly characterized. This was initially accomplished through the sequence
determination of its glycoprotein gene and the phylogenetic analysis of this gene with
orthologous genes from other rhabdoviruses. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that
SHRV groups with viruses of the genus Novirhabdovirus....
Health officials have recently been sounding the alarm that depression will soon
surpass many of the major medical conditions in causing disability among adults. Recent
demographic and health trends are generating public health concern about depression.
First, the prevalence of chronic conditions has dramatically increased over the last several
generations....
We examined the nest-tree preferences of northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) in an old-growth,
mixed-conifer and red fir (Abies magnifica) forest of the southern Sierra Nevada of California. We tracked 27
individuals to 122 nest trees during 3 summers. Flying squirrels selected nest trees that were larger in diameter
and...
Prescribed burning and mechanical thinning are used to manage fuels within many western North American forest ecosystems, but few studies have examined the relative impacts of these treatments on forest wildlife. We sampled northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) and microhabitat variables in burned, thinned and control stands of mixed-conifer forest...

In many western North American forests, prescribed burning and mechanical thinning are widely used to reduce
fuels and restore stand conditions after a century of fire suppression. Few studies have followed the relative impacts
of these treatments on the production and consumption of truffles in forest ecosystems, particularly in the...
