The study of the question of why Shakespeare's Hamlet delays killing
Claudius in revenge for his father's murder is examined in light of the major
critical theories from neo-classical to modern scholarship. An expanded
treatment of the works of Fredson Bowers, Eleanor Prosser, Bertram Joseph,
and Roland Frye, is provided...
Salmonid B lymphocytes were stimulated both in vivo and in vitro
and shown to produce antibody specific for the immunogen. A passive
hemolytic plaque assay was employed to demonstrate B cells producing
specific antibody. Characterization of plaque forming cells (PFCs)
involved sequential inhibition with a series of graded concentrations
of...
Studies towards the total synthesis of (+)-Phomactin A (1), D (6), and G (9), fungal metabolites with unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediates 354 and 356, which contain all of the carbon atoms of 1, 6 and 9....
A Diels-Alder approach to biaryls (DAB) has been applied towards the synthesis
of highly substituted, programmable biaryl templates. Tri- and tetra-ortho-substituted
biaryls can be produced in just three to four steps from commercially available materials
utilizing the Diels-Alder [4+2] cycloaddition. The methods described herein will
illustrate the ability of mono...
Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms are a nuisance and health threat in the Pacific Northwest. The accepted methods of characterizing these blooms by microscopic cell counts cannot differentiate between toxic and non-toxic strains of the cyanobacterium Microcystis. Also, there is limited understanding of freshwater cyanophage that may control bloom dynamics. In order...
A large number of bacterial and yeast isolates were obtained
from meat and poultry processing plants by swab and contact plate
sampling methods. Most of the isolates were subjected to a brief
taxonomic study and listed according to their sources. Representative
food spoilage, indicator and pathogenic organisms were identified
to...
The black grass bug genus Irbisia Reuter was revised. Over 18,000
specimens were examined and information concerning the biology, host
plant and distributional relationships of the species was compiled.
In addition to external characters, the male claspers and vesica, and
the female dorsal libiate plate of the bursa copulatrix and...
