The results of research designed to develop a synthesized diet
as a substitute or supplement to algae for culturing the Miyagi strain
of juvenile Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg) are
reported. The growth of juvenile Pacific oysters fed equal amounts
(based on ash free dry weights [AFDW]) of algae (Pseudoisochrysis...
The creating of pattern in woven fabrics by placing design on the
warps and/or wefts before they are woven is ancient. Primary
examples of these textiles are ikat, which is a resist dyeing technique,
and chine, in which design is painted or in some way printed on the
tensioned warp...
In an attempt to study the times in the lifecycle of
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus at which various genes are
transcribed, the patterns of messenger ribonucleic acid
(mRNA) and ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) syntheses
were examined using two different types of hybridization
systems. The hybridization system using membrane bound
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)...
The relationship between plasminogen activator (PA) production and cell stage, cell number and changes in overall diameter and zona pellucida thickness for bovine embryos developing in vitro was determined. Late morulae to blastocysts (n=80) were collected nonsurgically from naturally mated, estrous-synchronized and superovulated crossbred beef cows. Embryos were cultured, one...
Many youth are able to be successful in the traditional school setting. Large numbers are not successful. Dropout rates are alarming. There is little research that examines the drop out problem from the perspective of the youth. Traditionally programs that are designed to help have been designed by adults. This...
The volatile flavor fraction of lightly milled wheat grown in
eastern Oregon was isolated for study by two methods: steam distillation
under vacuum and steam distillation at atmospheric pressure.
The sample obtained under vacuum was extracted with ether
which was then evaporated to yield the desired wheat essence.
Steam distillation...
OBJECTIVE: To establish a statewide network to detect, control, and prevent the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
in a region with a low incidence of CRE infection.
DESIGN: Implementation of the Drug Resistant Organism Prevention and Coordinated Regional Epidemiology (DROP-CRE) Network.
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Oregon infection prevention and microbiology laboratory...
Engaging large numbers of undergraduates in authentic scientific discovery is desirable but difficult to achieve. We
have developed a general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a
research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics. The course...
