Abstract:
... For nearly four decades the University of California, Davis, International Programs Office has worked with global partners to build the agricultural capacity of countries in terms of research, extension, and education. With a focus on extension in lesser developed countries, we have developed an innovative framework for teaching extension professionals how to effectively encourage adoption of much ...

We conducted five focus groups as part of the California Heat Illness Prevention Study (CHIPS) in Fresno, California, during the summer of 2013. We used qualitative coding methods to analyze focus group transcript data with consideration of wo ...

Abstract:
... At the core of land use and governance debates in the United States are purported dualities: economy vs. environment, public goods vs. private rights, and the merits and demerits of regulation. While such dichotomies are inevitably partial, they offer a heuristic to interrogate the deeper nuances of a problem or process. I investigate these dichotomies in one site (Calaveras County, California) al ...

Abstract:
... X-Chromosome inactivation in female mammals starts during early blastocyst stage with expression of the X-inactive specific transcript (XIST), which coats and silences the inactive X chromosome. However, this compensation is not complete in blastocysts, as a large number of X-linked transcripts are more highly expressed in female embryos than in males. Furthermore, the process of X chromosome inac ...

Abstract:
... The use of cryopreserved semen for insemination of mares facilitates breeding management but often results in reduced conception rates. This has been mainly attributed to changes in sperm membrane function caused by the freezing-thawing procedure. However, semen processing may also contribute to epigenetic changes in spermatozoa. In the present study, we therefore addressed changes in sperm DNA-me ...

A significant separation among wines from Campbell Early, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz grapes was observed using principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The metabolites contributing to the separation wer ...

In January 2018, California (CA) implemented legislation (Senate Bill 27; SB 27) requiring veterinary prescriptions for medically important AMD use in food animals. The objective of our survey was to characterize AMD use, health manageme ...

We examined glacier change since the last Little Ice Age advance in the late 19th century by mapping historic glacier areas using clearly defined moraines. At least six glaciers existed in the Trinity Alps ...

However, the hormonal changes in the reproductive tract after superovulation treatment affect the environment and subsequently the early embryo development. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of superovulation pretreatment on embryo development and gene expression of IVM/IVF derived embryos s ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the history of paleosalinity over the past 6000+ years in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (the Delta), which is the innermost part of the San Francisco Estuary. We used a combination of Sr and U concentrations, δ87Sr values, and 234U/238U activity ratios (AR) in peat as proxies for tracking paleosalinity. Peat cores were collected in marshes on Browns Is ...
