Early Selection for Improving Volume Growth in Coastal Douglas-fir Breeding Programs

Creator:: Ye, T. Z. and Jayawickrama, K. J. S.
Abstract:: Measurements on growth traits up to 41 years of age from 68 progeny sites in eight first-generation breeding zones of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [MIRB.] FRANCO var. menziesii) in the US Pacific Northwest were used to investigate age trends of genetic parameters and to determine optimum age of selection. Heritabilities...

Improving the post-thaw processing of cryopreserved red blood cells using a combined approach of mathematical modeling and microfluidics

Creator:: Lusianti, Ratih E.
Abstract:: This study lays the groundwork on potential techniques that could be employed to improve the post-thaw wash processing of cryopreserved human red blood cells. Transfusion of red blood cells is one of the most commonly practiced procedures in clinical medicine. Millions of red blood cell units are transfused to patients...

Mathematical and Experimental Approaches for Designing Less Toxic Cryopreservation Methods

Creator:: Warner, Ross M.
Abstract:: Successful cryopreservation of all biological specimens would have an untold positive impact on medicine and scientific research. However, cryopreservation of the most complex biological specimens, such as tissues and organs, remains elusive. Vitrification, or ice-free cryopreservation, is promising for cryopreservation of complex specimens. The biggest challenge, though, is the toxicity...

An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Climate-related Disasters on the Regional Economy

Creator:: Fouzia, Sultana Z.
Abstract:: The ongoing climate change has impacted the lives and livelihoods of people. A climate-related disaster acts as an exogenous shock to the economy that can have lingering effects over a larger region even if all the locations are not directly affected. Climate-related disasters do not follow the administrative boundaries. So,...

Relationship of boron to reproduction in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Shrestha, Gyan Kumar
Abstract:: Boron sprays produced fruit set increases in 'Barcelona' hazelnut orchards in 1984 and in 1985. The absolute fruit set was correlated with leaf B content but not with nut B. With relative fruit set (RFS), B content of nuts in May (r = 0.63**) was more strongly related to set...

Effects of single and simultaneous challenges using DDT and a nuclear polyhedrosis virus against the variegated cutwork, Peridroma saucia (Hübner)

Creator:: Harper, James Douglas
Abstract:: A study of mortality, food consumption, food utilization, and polyhedral production following single and simultaneous challenges of the variegated cutworm, Peridroma saucia (Hubner), with DDT and a nuclear polyhedrosis virus was made. Fourth instar larvae were challenged topically with three levels of DDT and per os with three levels of...
