Research studies examining Mexican Americans' career development is important due their increasing representation in the labor force. A total of 264 Mexican American college students (107 males, 157 females) participated in this study. This research...

Studies show that in a suburban setting white-tailed deer live comfortably with humans and human-associated disturbances. Wildlife ecologists have developed models to predict where deer occur using information such as; ...

12 individual cases of thundersnow were examined in order to determine those common atmospheric stability characteristics that attend such storms. We found that most thundersnow events have high bases (between 10K and ...

The study of programmed cell death or aptosis in tumors has attracted increased interests. Recent research has shown that whether a cell lives or dies is related to its three dimensional environment such as the organization of cells...

another. The Cancer Research Center has access to thousands of strains of Salmonella that have been sealed and stored under harsh environmental conditions for almost forty years. Our goal is to explore mutations that have arisen among these archived...

Ras is a small GTP-binding protein in the signal transduction machinery. In most cell types, activation of Ras by growth factors is essential for normal cell proliferation. A mutation in the Ras gene can lead to a ...

Resident membrane proteins of the yeast trans-Golgi network (TGN) frequently cycle between the TGN and both the early and late (prevacuolar) endosomal compartments. The model yeast TGN protein, A-ALP, which contains the ...

a phenotype suggesting that their function may be redundant. Since obtaining a triple mutant plant via crossings of individual KO lines is not achievable due to the three genes being tightly linked, here we employ a RNAi strategy to silence them...

at TFIIIC protein interactions shall provide some insight to the methods and regulation of transcription over the course of much long-term research. TFIIIC consists of six subunits that all work together to carry out the proper transcription of genetic...

soybean plants. Of particular concern, however, is that genetically diverse field populations of SCN have shown the ability to overcome current sources of resistance. Previous research has confirmed that parasitism genes expressed in esophageal gland cells...

Radiopharmaceuticals, drugs consisting of a radionuclide, are very useful in both the diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of cancer. The radiopharmaceuticals that were researched are composed of Re radioisotopes (Re-186; Re-188), which are very...

Due to research in low-power, cheap wireless communications, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has become one of the most exciting new fields of interest within computer science and engineering. Just as the Internet has made data readily available...

It has been shown that heritable, genetic variability can change in response to different environmental conditions (Hoffmann and Merila 1999) and also that some plants can sense proximate neighbors and change their growth ...

Mitochondrial genomes are perhaps the most unusual sequences to annotate, due to the common characteristic of expedient change within the genome. Only six (mtDNA) genomes have been sequenced. It has been observed that ...

Prostate cancer is an excellent candidate disease for chemo prevention because it is typically diagnosed in elderly males, therefore even a modest delay in the neoplastic development achieved through pharmacological or nutritional intervention could...

and the exploitation of black women. The purpose of this research is to recognize/investigate how contemporary hip-hop music videos simultaneously reflects and reproduces race, gender, and class oppression of Black American Women. Methods: A qualitative investigation...

People have always wanted to know how to live longer lives. Researchers have found that caloric restriction allows this in most animals. Caloric restriction (CR) is defined as the restriction of food but still enough to maintain life...

in Columbia, Missouri. The home and grounds were purchased by the City of Columbia in 1970. The area was named Nifong Park once the home was preserved in 1976, but the grounds were never accurately restored. The emphasis of this project is to research...

Stressors directly or indirectly have greatly influenced women's life and how they are able to function in society. Thus, for us as researchers, it is important to understand how much they influence women's lives in order to develop appropriate ways...
