Influences Of Acid Mine Drainage On Water Chemistry Of Blackwater River Watershed, Carla C. Morato-Lara
Influences Of Acid Mine Drainage On Water Chemistry Of Blackwater River Watershed, Carla C. Morato-Lara
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Acidic mine drainage flow from active and abandoned coal mines has been a major source of water pollution in the Appalachian Mountain region of the eastern USA. Water samples were collected and analyzed from Blackwater River watershed during 2 years (September 1996 - May 1998). The water quality measurements determined that the Beaver Creek and North Fork tributaries were affected by acid mine drainage but not Yellow Creek. Beaver Creek and North Fork stations had high sulfate and manganese markers of acid mine drainage, whereas Yellow Creek was slightly acidic with low sulfate and manganese. North Fork was the primary …
The Role Of Domain I In Laminin Chain Assembly, George D. Kamphaus
The Role Of Domain I In Laminin Chain Assembly, George D. Kamphaus
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Laminin, a major component of basement membrane, is a trimeric glycoprotein comprised of three chains - α, β and γ (Burgeson et al., 1994). An order for trimer assembly has been deduced: first, the β and γ chains bind to form a dimer and subsequently α is added to complete the trimer (I. Hunter et al., 1990 & 1992; Utani et al., 1994 & 1995). The C-terminal portions, found within the protein structural domain I of the p and y chains, are implicated in dimer and trimer formation by biochemical studies performed extracellularly (Utani, et al., 1994 & 1995; Nomizu …
The Use Of Emergent Rocks As Refugia For The Cheat Mountain Salamander, Plethodon Nettingi Green, Beth Anne Pauley
The Use Of Emergent Rocks As Refugia For The Cheat Mountain Salamander, Plethodon Nettingi Green, Beth Anne Pauley
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Plethodon nettinqi was listed as a threatened species in 1989 by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (Pauley, 1991). Its total range is within 5 counties in eastern West Virginia. There are fewer then 60 disjunct populations known and most populations are above 3,000 ft. and are associated with emergent rocks or narrow ravines with Rhododendron. It is hypothesized the P. netting! survived lumbering practices at the turn of the century by taking refuge beneath large emergent rocks and narrow ravines with Rhododendron. This study examined environmental factors associated with emergent rocks that might regulate the distribution of P. …
