If home is the hearth, a place of safety and centeredness, it is also the portal, the magic door. From home we go out into spaces more humanized and technologized, or into spaces more natural, more other-than-humanized. We dress up and head downtown, or we pack up and head for...
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, is frequently dysregulated in a variety of cancers. Overexpression of the receptor leads to increased cell proliferation and resistance to cell death due to downstream signaling effects. Proteasomal degradation of HER2 results in the...
This paper evaluates the previously unknown effect that a Fiscal Stress Label (FSL), a State fiscal intervention program signaling fiscal duress, has on passage rates and voter support for school district tax referenda. Previous research suggests that FSL receipt is associated with increased school district revenue, however the reason why...
Five breeds of sheep (Columbia, Targhee, Rambouillet, Lincoln,
and Suffolk) were found to possess two hemoglobin types (Hb. A
and Hb. B) when their hemoglobins were examined by disc gel electrophoresis.
The hemoglobin alleles proved to be co-dominant.
Three of the breeds (Columbia, Targhee, and Rambouillet)
were maintained at altitudes...
Many forest products companies in the southeastern United States store large volumes of round-wood under wet storage. Log quality depends on maintaining a high and constant wood moisture content; however, limited knowledge exists regarding moisture variation within individual logs, and within wet decks as a whole, making it impossible to...
The study was conducted to identify variables, from
among the theory related and demographic/biographic variables
included in the study, which were able to discriminate
between groups of male and groups of female freshmen
who differed in their level of self-actualization.
Five hundred and forty freshmen (277 males and 263
females)...
Three stations, at similar to ~80 m water depth on the Oregon shelf between 44.7 degrees N and 43.9 N, were studied under hypoxic conditions in late spring and summer of 2009 to determine benthic oxygen consumption rates. Oxygen fluxes were derived from eddy correlation (EC) measurements made from an...
Three stations, at ∼80 m water depth on the Oregon shelf between 44.7°N and 43.9 N, were studied under hypoxic conditions in late spring and summer of 2009 to determine benthic oxygen consumption rates. Oxygen fluxes were derived from eddy correlation (EC) measurements made from an autonomous lander deployed for...
Douglas-fir seedlings were inoculated with different species of
ectomycorrhizae-forming fungi in order to test the concept that
ectomycorrhizae enhance the drought tolerance of seedlings and to
investigate the mechanisms responsible for this effect.
Seedlings were transplanted at age 6 to 8 weeks into pots
containing pasteurized loam soil and inoculated...
