Submerged macrophytes in Big Spring Creek, WI: Distribution and influence on phosphorus dynamics
(2007)
Submerged macrophytes affect many aspects of lotic ecosystems, including nutrient dynamics. We performed longitudinal vegetation surveys to describe the distribution of macrophytes in Big Spring Creek, Wisconsin. We also ...
Determining the impacts of residential lakeshore development and various physical factors on largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) growth rates
(2007)
Development of residential lakeshore properties can have several effects on aquatic ecosystems including the thinning of littoral coarse woody habitat. Previous studies have shown that reduction of littoral coarse woody ...
The effects of 1,25 D3 on the mouse osteopontin promoter
(2007)
Vitamin D (1,25 D3) is an important transcriptional regulator of many genes including our gene of interest, osteopontin. Osteopontin is a known regulator of bone calcification and mineralization and is involved in signaling ...
Reduction of androgen induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production as a method of preventing prostate cancer
(2007)
Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths among men and development of a preventative agent is urgently needed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are carcinogens and are linked to prostate tumor development. ROS ...
Delta-opioid receptor (DOR) activation prolongs respiratory motor output during oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in neonatal rat spinal cord in vitro
(2007)
Severe reduction of blood flow to the brain results in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and neuronal damage. DOR activation is neuroprotective during OGD in the cerebellum and cortex, but it is not known whether DOR ...
Present management practices and future possibilities for the Concha Prieta (Anadara tuberculosa) in the community of San Felipe, Ecuador
(2007)
San Felipe is a small fishing village on the Caraquez estuary on the coast of Ecuador. Only twenty years ago, this community was able to sustain itself on clam collecting, but due to poor management and mangrove destruction, ...
E. coli contaminated drinking water in rural Uganda: Using results to make an impact
(2007)
In January 2006, I worked with Community Based Integrated Nutrition (COBIN) to perform water quality testing and design & distribute health questionnaires to 40 households in the Lyantonde and Kiruhura districts of rural ...
Studies on the heat stability of egg yolk antibody (lgY)
(2007)
Nutritionally and economically-important heat-labile proteins, including enzymes, hormones, and antibodies (Ab), lose a substantial amount of activity following industrial processing. Protection of these heat-sensitive ...
Utilizing oscillating magnetic fields to manipulate embryonic tissues
(2007)
Embryonic mouse tissues were incubated with gold-coated iron conjugated to a p75 antibody and then exposed to an oscillating magnetic field (OM). The p75 antibodies tag neural crest-derived cells, and via this interaction ...
Gaze-evoked blinks in rhesus monkeys
(2007)
Gaze-evoked blinks, blinks that occur during rapid movements of the head and eyes, are believed to be the result of a shared mechanism that is responsible for a blink occurring with a saccade. In humans, it has been found ...
