Abstract:
... Decision cases have been used in the USA for both classroom and extension education within agriculture and natural resources. Use of cases has sometimes been limited by the extensive amount of time that may be required to assign and analyze conventional, text-based cases. Availability of video decision cases, which are visual and do not necessarily require reading, could foster the use of cases on ...

Abstract:
... HMGA1 nonhistone proteins are reported to participate in various cellular processes including regulation of inducible gene transcription, integration of retroviruses into chromosomes, and the induction of neoplastic transformation and promotion of metastatic progression of cancer cells. Overexpression of HMGA1 was shown to be characteristic for various malignant tumors, suggesting a relation betwe ...

Abstract:
... Lignocellulose digestion by wood-feeding termites depends on the mutualistic interaction of unusual, flagellate protists located in their hindgut. Most of the flagellates harbor numerous prokaryotic endosymbionts of so-far-unknown identity and function. Using a full-cycle molecular approach, we show here that the endosymbionts of the larger gut flagellates of Reticulitermes santonensis belong to t ...
... Greater Prairie Chickens started their range expansion from Wisconsin about 1900. They reached Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, by 1925 and completed colonization of Manitoulin Island by 1945. In the fall of 1932, an irruption of Northern Sharp-tailed Grouse from the Hudson Bay Lowlands occurred. Residents of Manitoulin distinguished the two species and reported the presence of “square-tails” and “sharp ...

Abstract:
... OBJECTIVE:--Peak plantar pressures (PPPs) have been studied extensively as a contributing factor to skin breakdown, especially in the forefoot where most plantar neuropathic ulcers occur. The purposes of this article were to 1) describe an additional pressure variable, the peak pressure gradient (PPG), 2) determine whether the PPG is higher in the forefoot than in the rearfoot (even when compared ...

... Blackberry cv. Thornless, selected from the cross Kotata × NZ 8610L-163 (E90 × N-71), is a thornless, high-yielding cultivar with good disease resistance and large, uniformly shaped and firm fruits with good processing quality and excellent adaptation to machine harvesting. ...
... Blackberry cv. Black Pearl, selected from the cross of ORUS 1117-11 × ORUS 1122-1, is a thornless cultivar with good plant disease resistance and large fruits with excellent processing quality and adaptation to machine harvesting. ...
... A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed from the bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype 'Chinese Spring' ('CS'). The library consists of 395,136 clones with an estimated average insert size of 157 kb. This library provides an estimated 3.4-fold genome coverage for this hexaploid species. The genome coverage was confirmed by RFLP analysis of single-copy RFLP clones. The ...

Abstract:
... Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the dilemmas experienced by women and men in their everyday lives in relation to their coeliac disease, and to explore the qualities of these dilemmas in relation to specific situations and living conditions. Methods: We interviewed 43 informants, aged 20-40 years, using 'The Critical Incident Technique'. Interviews focused on situations that gave rise to ...
