The Charge That Ended The War: Union Infantry At Petersburg Surged On To Richmond, Noah Andre Trudeau Mar 2001

The Charge That Ended The War: Union Infantry At Petersburg Surged On To Richmond, Noah Andre Trudeau

Civil War Book Review

Given the steady market for Civil War battle studies, the lack of a complete treatment of the individual engagements of the Petersburg campaign is puzzling. There were battle-scale combats during all but two of the months from June 1864 through April 1865, yet just six detailed studies of the 11 maj....

The formidable task of marshaling the resources and experts necessary to create a multi-volume Civil War reference work probably rivals the logistical demands of that conflict's greatest battles. Perhaps that explains why few comprehensive Civil War encyclopedias have made their way onto the scene. ....

Bloody Showdown: Teenaged Soldiers And Civilians Discover The Meaning Of Courage, George Mcnamara

Civil War Book Review

Writers of historical fiction often provide the reader with numerous coincidences that center on one or more of the primary characters. A seasoned booklover sometimes scoffs at such use of "artistic license." However, books written for children that employ this technique can prove successful and edu....

A Note On Doubles Of Groups, Nadia Benakli, Oliver T. Dasbach, Yair Glasner, Brian Mangum Feb 2001

A Note On Doubles Of Groups, Nadia Benakli, Oliver T. Dasbach, Yair Glasner, Brian Mangum

Faculty Publications

Recently, Rips produced an example of a double of two free groups which has unsolvable generalized word problem. In this paper, we show that Rips's example fits into a large class of doubles of groups, each member of which contains F2×F2 and therefore has unsolvable generalized word problem and is incoherent. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

We describe the discovery circumstances and photometric properties of 2000 EB173, now one of the brightest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with opposition magnitude mR = 18.9 and also one of the largest Plutinos, found with the drift-scanning camera of the Quasar Equatorial Survey Team, attached to the 1 m Schmidt telescope of the National Observatory of Venezuela. We measure B-V = 0.99 ± 0.14 and V-R = 0.57 ± 0.05, a red color observed for many fainter TNOs. At our magnitude limit mK = 20.1 ± 0.20, our single detection reveals a sky density of 0.015+0.034-0.012 TNOs per square degree (the …

Expression Characteristics Of The Transfer-Related Kilb Gene Product Of Streptomyces Plasmid Pij101: Implications For The Plasmid Spread Function, G. S. Pettis, N. Ward, K. L. Schully Feb 2001

Expression Characteristics Of The Transfer-Related Kilb Gene Product Of Streptomyces Plasmid Pij101: Implications For The Plasmid Spread Function, G. S. Pettis, N. Ward, K. L. Schully

Faculty Publications

Intermycelial transfer of Streptomyces plasmid pIJ101 occurs prior to cellular differentiation and is mediated by plasmid functions that are also required for production of zones of growth-inhibited recipient cells (i.e., pocks) that develop around individual donors during mating on agar medium. Several other pIJ101 functions, including that of the kilB gene, whose unregulated expression on pIJ101 is lethal, are required for normal pock size and so have been postulated to mediate intramycelial spread of the plasmid throughout recipient cells. Using antibodies raised against a KilB fusion protein expressed in Escherichia coli, native KilB protein was detected throughout development of pIJ101-containing …

Optimum Timing Of Insecticide Applications Against Diamondback Moth Plutella Xylostella In Cole Crops Using Threshold Catches In Sex Pheromone Traps, Gadi Venkata Prasad Reddy, Angel Guerrero Feb 2001

Optimum Timing Of Insecticide Applications Against Diamondback Moth Plutella Xylostella In Cole Crops Using Threshold Catches In Sex Pheromone Traps, Gadi Venkata Prasad Reddy, Angel Guerrero

Faculty Publications

Field trials were conducted in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata), cauliflower (B oleracea var botrytis) and knol khol (B oleracea gongylodes) crops at two different locations in Karnataka State (India) to optimize the timing of insecticide applications to control the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, using sex pheromone traps. Our results indicate that applications of cartap hydrochloride as insecticide during a 12-24h period after the pheromone traps had caught on average 8, 12 and 16 males per trap per night in cabbage, cauliflower and knol khol, respectively, were significantly more effective than regular insecticide sprays at 7, 9, 12 or 15 …

Hyaluronan Synthase Elevation In Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma Cells Correlates With Hyaluronan Surface Retention, A Prerequisite For Rapid Adhesion To Bone Marrow Endothelial Cells, Melanie A.

Hyaluronan Synthase Elevation In Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma Cells Correlates With Hyaluronan Surface Retention, A Prerequisite For Rapid Adhesion To Bone Marrow Endothelial Cells, Melanie A. Simpson, Jane Reiland, Scott R. Burger, Leo T. Furcht, Andrew P. Spicer, Theodore R. Oegema, James B. Mccarthy

Faculty Publications

Bone marrow is the primary site of metastasis in patients with advanced stage prostate cancer. Prostate carcinoma cells metastasizing to bone must initially adhere to endothelial cells in the bone marrow sinusoids. In this report, we have modeled that interaction in vitro using two bone marrow endothelial cell (BMEC) lines and four prostate adenocarcinoma cell lines to investigate the adhesion mechanism. Highly metastatic PC3 and PC3M-LN4 cells were found to adhere rapidly and specifically (70-90%) to BMEC-1 and trHBMEC bone marrow endothelial cells, but not to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (15-25%). Specific adhesion to BMEC-1 and trHBMEC was dependent …
