Transgenic biotechnology holds enormous potential as a tool to address global food insecurity. Transgenic food crops have been shown to increase food availability and food system security by incorporating disease, pesticide and drought resistance. Production costs of transgenic crops are lower due to the reduced need for costly pesticides and...
Dermatological issues are a widespread problem in humans that are often
overlooked. In our present study, we have isolated lipids from de-identified epidermal
skin tape samples from both Atopic Dermatitis and healthy individuals using a high
efficiency one-step extraction method, which were subsequently analyzed using modified
Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS)....
Assessment of the environmental impacts of an agricultural production system
requires information on both soil water quality and solute flux. Passive Capillary Samplers
(PCAPS), which sample water from the vadose zone using fiber glass wicks, have shown
potential to provide both flux and solute concentration in unsaturated zone sampling but...
Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) have been created to encourage companies to engage in behaviors that mitigate environmental impacts (e.g., recycling, emissions reduction). Many ski areas participate in the Sustainable Slopes Program, an initiative that promotes VEPs in the ski area industry. Past research has addressed the performance of VEPs in...
In 1968, Congress passed the Wild and Scenic River Act
creating a system of rivers protected from dams and other
development. By 1987, segments of four Oregon rivers were
protected by the Wild and Scenic River System: the Rogue,
Illinois, Owyhee, and a portion of the Snake along the
Idaho...
The central purposes of this study were to identify the common
professional education competencies of junior high school teachers
and to
1. Determine the proficiency levels necessary in order to
accomplish these tasks.
2. Determine the cognitive domain levels required in order to
fulfill these tasks.
The major dimensions of...
