A Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) Model was
developed for the forested soils of Lane County, in western Oregon,
based on soil potential ratings and indexes of parcel size and
adjacent and surrounding land use conflict. Lane County's economy
is heavily dependent on resource production uses of land for...
The purpose of this study was to gather participant/ campus data, and to measure morale and teaching faculty participation in institutional governance on the 107 California public community college campuses to determine if collective bargaining faculty have statistically higher or lower morale and greater or lesser participation in institutional governance....
Despite an expansive selection of available thin-layer chromatography (TLC) stationary phases, almost none are well-suited for separation of polar, ionic analytes. This work demonstrated that a highly porous stationary phase layer comprised solely of nanostructured biosilica frustules, isolated from living Pinnularia sp. diatom microalgae, improved TLC separation of the polar,...
The objectives of the current study were to 1) investigate the effect a high-docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3, DHA) microalgae product (MAL), and choline dosage in diets containing MAL, on egg production performance, physical egg quality, and nutritional parameters, and 2) determine whether choline dosage influences hepatic lipid metabolism of...
In recent years, many studies have focused on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the development of wine grapes. The course of grape berry development is directed by genetic design and is mediated by phytohormones, which regulate grape berry growth and development by orchestrating a complex network of interacting genes,...
