This study examined the effects of pH, temperature,
washing, and post-hydration drying on germination of
Anisogramma anomala ascopores. Spores germinate most
readily in the temperature range of 5 to 15 degrees C, with
an optimal temperature of 10 degrees (1 sd=0.05). Growth
was best in the pH range of 5...
The objectives of this research is to advance human health by evaluating interventions to minimize the detrimental effects of acute whole body gamma irradiation on bone metabolism, bone architecture and bone reconstruction using a mouse model. Total body irradiation (TBI) followed by adoptive transfer of bone marrow from donor animals...
The female Philometra americana Ekbaum, 1933 is a common
subcutaneous parasite of the starry flounder, Platichthyes stellatus (Pallas) of Yaquina Bay, Lincoln County, Oregon. Maturation of this
worm produces noticeable red cysts subcutaneously between the fin
and tail rays and similarly on the operculum. The gravid female
penetrates the epidermis...
The DNAs (deoxyribonucleic acids)
of the thoracic tissue
of
the tobacco hornworm,
Manducta sexta, were studied
by physical
and chemical means. The adult
moth was considered to
be fully
formed two days after emergence from
the pupal case, as indicated
by its ability to fly and the integrity
of the...
In February 1905 the Oregon State Academy of Sciences formed in
Portland to promote scientific research and diffusion of scientific
knowledge in Oregon. The founders also planned to assist in the
discovery and development of the state's natural resources. The
Academy was the first scientific society in Oregon with professional...
In attempting to provide modern water and
sewerage services to the non-indigenous inhabitants of
Canadian Arctic communities, engineering modifications are
necessary owing to the presence of a continuous permafrost
zone and a severe climate. Modifications are constraints
on communities in that the costs of providing water and
sewerage services are...
