Isolation and characterization of a baculovirus associated with the insect parasitoid wasp, Cotesia marginiventris, or its host, Trichoplusia ni
(University of Wisconsin, 2008)
purified by infecting a Heliothis subflexa (BCIRL- HsAM1) cell line and isolating several clones. The mean estimated genomic size of this virus based on PstI, BstEII, StyI, HindIII restriction profiles was estimated to be 106 ± 2.5 kbp (mean±SE). A clone...
Bisphenol A Data in NHANES Suggest Longer than Expected Half-Life, Substantial Nonfood Exposure, or Both
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
It is commonly stated in the literature on human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) that food is the predominant BPA exposure source, and that BPA is rapidly and completely cleared from the body. If this is correct, BPA levels ...
Haplo-Insufficiency of MPK3 in MPK6 Mutant Background Uncovers a Novel Function of These Two MAPKs in Arabidopsis Ovule Development
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2008)
being physically restricted and female reproductive failure. Our results highlight an essential function of MPK3 and MPK6 in promoting cell division in the integument specifically during ovule development....
Hyperactivity and Hyperagreement in Bantu
(2011)
Many Bantu languages exhibit A-movements and patterns of iterating agreement that are disallowed in Indo-European languages. In Minimalist theory, both agreement and movement are constrained by an Activity requirement ...
Toward Identifying the Next Generation of Superfund and Hazardous Waste Site Contaminants
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2011)
Our aim was to initiate a dynamic, adaptable process for identifying contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) that are likely to be found in future hazardous waste sites, and to identify the gaps in primary research that ...
Identification of secondary science teachers' preconceptions related to avian influenza
(National Association for Research in Science Teaching, 2009)
. In this paper, we discuss alternative conceptions regarding the flu held by these ten teachers collectively before and after the institute, as well as the role of the institute activities in changing these. Data sources included written assessments before...
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism attenuates vascular apoptosis and injury via rescuing protein kinase B activation
(American Heart Association, 2008)
Emerging evidence indicates that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockade reduces the risk of cardiovascular events beyond those predicted by its blood pressure-lowering actions; however, the underlying mechanisms remain ...
Arizona public libraries serving the Spanish-speaking : context for changes
(Reference & User Services Quarterly, 2013)
Arizona is at the forefront of Latino population growth and political and racial politics. Three different factors could potentially influence the provision of library service to Latinos in the State of Arizona. These are ...
An Anatomy of a Cartel: The National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 and the Compliance Crisis of 1934
(Research in Economic History, 2008)
This paper explores the nature and causes of the cartel compliance crisis that befell the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) one year after its passage in 1933. We employ a simple game-theoretic model of the NIRA's ...
A Nonlinear IV Likelihood-Based Rank Test for Multivariate Time Series and Long Panels
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2010)
A test for the rank of a vector error correction model (VECM) or panel VECM based on the well-known trace test is proposed. The proposed test employs instrumental variables (IV's)generated by a class of nonlinear functions ...
Gravitational ionization: periodic orbits of binary systems perturbed by gravitational radiation.
(arXiv, 1995)
The long term perturbation of a Newtonian binary system by an incident gravitational wave is discussed in connection with the issue of gravitational ionization. The periodic orbits of the planar tidal equation are investigated ...
A new approach to the classification of Gaelic song
(2018-03)
"A good deal of water has flowed under the bridge since James Ross published “A
Classification of Gaelic Folk-Song” in 1957.1 Ross’s study was typical of a time when scholars
favored a clinical and taxonomical approach to ...

(2018-03)
"This essay examines some of the textual features of the Qur’ān that emerge more prominently
when listening to it, features that may enhance insight gained during slow or silent reading
sessions."--Page 141.
