All attempted synthesis of perfluoroalkyl boron bonded groups
have resulted in the formation of boron-fluorine bonds from the
probable decomposition by α-fluorine transfer. The substance alkali
metal di-n- butylborate (I) has been identified as the potassium derivative
by its reaction with di-n-butylboron chloride and isolation of
potassium chloride. The reaction...
The Professional Science Master’s program requires all graduates to complete an internship and prepare a descriptive report in lieu of a master’s thesis. In 2009 I concluded a three-month full-time internship with the Institute for Natural Resources (INR). Oregon Explorer (OE) is a collaborative effort between INR and Oregon State...
William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...
Cloud reflectivity is a function of cloud liquid water content and droplet number concentration. Since cloud droplets form around pre-existing aerosol particles, cloud droplet number concentration depends on the availability of particles that can serve as cloud condensation nuclei. Given constant liquid water amount, increased availability of cloud condensation nuclei...
Exploration and production of oil in the Gulf of Mexico has seen an astonishing increase since the first well was drilled in 1936. Much of the current exploration is occurring in waters greater than 5000 feet. The largest and most unprecedented oil spill in the United States occurred on April...

Previous investigations of the biosynthesis of sterols by the
arterial wall have shown that the intact aorta is capable of low level
incorporation of labeled precursor into a sterol digitonide. The biosynthesis
of sterols and related lipids by a cell-free preparation of
bovine aorta was investigated in the present study....
