Analysis Of Bacterial Genome Organization And Replication Using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, A. Dingwall, L. Shapiro, Bert Ely Oct 1990

Analysis Of Bacterial Genome Organization And Replication Using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis, A. Dingwall, L. Shapiro, Bert Ely

Faculty Publications

The techniques described in this chapter provide a framework with which to begin an analysis of important features of bacterial genome organization and gene function. In this report we describe the preparation of chromosomal DNA, conditions for digestion with restriction endonucleases, and electrophoretic methods that result in the optimal resolution of large DNA restriction fragments. The sizes of the separated fragments can be summed to accurately determine genome size. The fragments can also be probed in hybridization experiments to produce low-resolution genomic restriction maps, and the precise locations of insertion or deletion mutations can be rapidly identified. In addition, PFGE …

A Judicial Postscript On The Church-State Debates Of 1989: How Porous The Wall, How Civil The State?, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This work is a continuation of the debate regarding the Establishment Clause. The focus lies with Justice O’Connor’s concurrence in County of Allegheny v. ACLU and how this opinion harkens back to a concept shared by Jefferson and Madison, that the establishment clause is designed to prevent government favoritism.

Contingency Contracting In The Low-Intensity Conflict Environment, Steve Bell Oct 1990

Contingency Contracting In The Low-Intensity Conflict Environment, Steve Bell

Faculty Publications

The United States military presence in Central and South America is under attack, both literally and politically, as bombings and sniper fire directed against U.S. military personnel characterize the low-intensity conflict (LIC) environment in certain parts of Latin America. The process of contracting support for U.S. forces in a LIC environment is oriented toward sustaining operations in the field, as opposed to contracting for mobilization or surge production. A significant characteristic of this field support is that a contracting officer (KO) deploys overseas with the supported military unit. Some of the unique concerns faced by a KO deploying with an …

Impacts On California Agriculture Of A Ban On Rice Straw Burning, B. Gardner Delworth, Richard E. Howitt, Charles Goodman Oct 1990

Impacts On California Agriculture Of A Ban On Rice Straw Burning, B. Gardner Delworth, Richard E. Howitt, Charles Goodman

Faculty Publications

The burning of agricultural residues, particularly rice straw, has long been an issue of public concern in California's Sacramento Valley. Especially during days of autumn temperature inversions, the smoke in the atmosphere from burning is regarded by some as a serious health hazard and by nearly all residents as a public nuisance. Strong pressures have resulted in stringent regulations over agricultural burning, but a growing number of voices advocate a strict prohibition on burning. The prospect of a burning ban is worrisome to rice growers since burning is not only the most cost-effective way of disposing of the straw, but …

Relationships Between Wetland Fragmentation And Recent Hydrologic Changes In A Deltaic Coast, R. Eugene Turner, Yeleswarapu S. Rao Sep 1990

Relationships Between Wetland Fragmentation And Recent Hydrologic Changes In A Deltaic Coast, R. Eugene Turner, Yeleswarapu S. Rao

Faculty Publications

Patterns in coastal wetland loss in the northern Gulf of Mexico were examined using aerial imagery from 1955–56 and 1978. Five qualitative types of wetland changes are evident: (1) spoil bank-parallel pond formation, (2) pond formation with apparent random distribution for the smallest ponds, but very clumped distribution for larger ponds, (3) semi- or complete impoundment resulting in open water formation, (4) cutting off of stream channels upstream of where a spoil bank crosses a natural channel, and (5) erosion at the land-water interface. Only pondsinterval, and it is clear that wetland breakup, not erosion at the pond-lake edge, is …

Suppression Of Lymphocyte Proliferation By A > 30,000 Molecular Weight Factor In Horse Conceptus-Conditioned Medium, T. L. Roth, K. L. White, D. L. Thompson, B. E. Barry, J. S. Capehart, D. R. Colborn, M. H. Rabb Aug 1990

Suppression Of Lymphocyte Proliferation By A > 30,000 Molecular Weight Factor In Horse Conceptus-Conditioned Medium, T. L. Roth, K. L. White, D. L. Thompson, B. E. Barry, J. S. Capehart, D. R. Colborn, M. H. Rabb

Faculty Publications

In this experiment we have identified and partially characterized the immunosuppressive activity of preimplantation horse conceptus-conditioned medium (HCCM). Horse conceptuses were nonsurgically flushed from mares at Days 9-10 (n = 6), 15-16 (n = 3), and 25-26 (n = 3). After incubating the conceptuses for 24 h in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum (FCS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin, HCCM was obtained from cultures and tested for immunosuppressive activity in lymphocyte proliferation assays. Peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from randomly selected mares were stimulated with mitogens (pokeweed mitogen [PWM], concanavalin A [Con A], and phytohemagglutinin [PHA]) in cultures supplemented with 0%, …

Eigenvalue Problems Of Ginzburg–Landau Operator In Bounded Domains, Kening Lu, Xing-Bin Pan Jun 1990

Eigenvalue Problems Of Ginzburg–Landau Operator In Bounded Domains, Kening Lu, Xing-Bin Pan

Faculty Publications

In this paper we study the eigenvalue problems for the Ginzburg–Landau operator with a large parameter in bounded domains in [openface R]2 under gauge invariant boundary conditions. The estimates for the eigenvalues are obtained and the asymptotic behavior of the associated eigenfunctions is discussed. These results play a key role in estimating the critical magnetic field in the mathematical theory of superconductivity.

Economic Performance, Voting, And Political Support: A Unified Approach, Henry W. Chappell Jr. May 1990

Economic Performance, Voting, And Political Support: A Unified Approach, Henry W. Chappell Jr.

Faculty Publications

A presidential vote function and a presidential approval ratings function are jointly estimated for U.S. post-war observations. The estimation technique treats the two equations as seemingly unrelated regressions with unequal numbers of observations. Cross-equation restrictions implying that voters and poll respondents use identical standards in judging the economic performance of incumbents are imposed and tested. Estimates show that both votes and approval ratings are influenced by GNP growth and inflation. The results suggest that poll respondents are more inflation averse than voters; however, tests of this hypothesis are not conclusive.

Chloroplast And Mitochondrial: Dna Polymerases From Cultured Soybean Cells, Sabine Heinhorst, Gordon C. Cannon, Arthur Weissbach Apr 1990

Chloroplast And Mitochondrial: Dna Polymerases From Cultured Soybean Cells, Sabine Heinhorst, Gordon C. Cannon, Arthur Weissbach

Faculty Publications

DNA polymerases were purified from chloroplasts and mitochondria of cultured Glycine max cells. The chloroplast enzyme exists in two forms which are indistinguishable from each other biochemically. All three organellar enzymes have an estimated molecular weight of 85,000 to 90,000 and prefer poly(rA)dT12-18 over activated DNA as a template in vitro. Maximum activity of the chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA polymerases requires KCI and a reducing agent, and the enzymes are completely resistant to inhibitors of DNA polymerase a. Taken together, these properties classify the soybean organellar enzymes as DNA polymerases y. A unique feature that distinguishes the plant enzymes from …

Photoluminescence Studies In Znxcd1-Xte Single Crystals, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, Elías López-Cruz, Worth P. Allred Mar 1990

Photoluminescence Studies In Znxcd1-Xte Single Crystals, David D. Allred, Jesus González-Hernández, Elías López-Cruz, Worth P. Allred

Faculty Publications

The crystalline quality of ZnxCd1-xTe single crystals prepared by a modified Bridgman method with 0≤x≤0.05 has been analyzed using photoluminescence. The spectrum of a typical sample is dominated by lines originating from the recombination of free and bound excitons. Lines due to free excitons in their ground and first excited states are observed in both the pure CdTe and the mixed crystals. Excitons bound to Dc vacancies are observed in the pure CdTe crystal but not in the mixed crystal. Weaker and broader features appearing at energies below the exciton emission range were associated with transitions involving free-to-bound and bound-to-bound …

Attention To Social Comparison Information: An Individual Difference Factor Affecting Consumer Conformity, William O. Bearden, Randall L. Rose Mar 1990

Attention To Social Comparison Information: An Individual Difference Factor Affecting Consumer Conformity, William O. Bearden, Randall L. Rose

Faculty Publications

Interpersonal influence in consumer behavior is moderated by the extent of consumer sensitivity to social comparison information concerning product purchase and usage behavior (cf. Calder and Burnkrant 1977). Two survey studies indicate that Lennox and Wolfe's (1984) attention-to-social-comparison-information (AT-SCI) scale has adequate convergent and discriminant validity and moderates the relative influence of normative consequences on behavioral intentions, as predicted. A quasi-experiment and an experiment in which control subjects under no social pressure are compared with high and low ATSCI subjects under pressure reveal that high ATSCI subjects are more likely to comply with normative pressures.

The Extended Tracking Network And Indications Of Baseline Precision And Accuracy In The North Andes, Jeffrey T. Freymueller, James N. Kellogg Mar 1990

The Extended Tracking Network And Indications Of Baseline Precision And Accuracy In The North Andes, Jeffrey T. Freymueller, James N. Kellogg

Faculty Publications

The CASA UNO Global Positioning System (GPS) experiment (January-February 1988) included an extended tracking network which covered three continents in addition to the network of scientific interest in Central and South America. The repeatability of long baselines (400-1000 km) in South America is improved by up to a factor of two in the horizontal vector baseline components by using tracking stations in the Pacific and Europe to supplement stations in North America. In every case but one, the differences between the mean solutions obtained using different tracking networks was equal to or smaller than day-to-day rms repeatabilities for the same …

Dante And The Franciscan Movement, Ilona Klein

Faculty Publications

Consider what might happen if, instead of nuclear bombs and pollution, twentieth-century technology had provided us with time machines; affordable, handy appliances to be bought readily and kept in living rooms, perhaps next to the sofa. In order to travel through time, one would only need to sit back comfortably and turn the electronic control panel's time knob in the proper direction; then, push a button when the indicator reaches the year one wants to visit. . .
