Urban hardscape as it currently exists and as it is expanded through new development and perpetuated through maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction requires mining and importation into the urban area of large quantities of materials and exportation of demolition waste out of the urban area. Standards that require extensive vehicle parking for new housing and other…

An ecosystem services perspective directly links ecosystem structures and functions to human well-being , providing a tangible rationale for more holistic environmental management and protection . Ecosystem services can be difficult to quantify, especially in marine environments where interactions and boundaries can be dynamic and loosely-coupled . However, technological developments have greatly aided deep-sea scientific…

Students would do well to consider the role of magnesium from plant sources as a particularly illuminating case study. Magnesium is recognized to have a central role in human well being, affecting cardiovascular, neurological, and immunological health. It is synergistic with the fat soluble vitamins A and D, and so its deficiency is likely to affect…

Best fits were derived by incrementally increasing the number of fitted components and minimizing the fitted residual. The range for the fit was varied as a function of data quality and to test contributions from minor components. Target transforms were carried out using the SIXpack program, and XANES data analysis was carried out using the Athena program…

The cis-acting region of the rd29A promoter contains three dehydration-responsive elements and one abscisic acid responsive element.We hypothesized that under water stress conditions, the over expression of LeNCED1 using the stress-inducible promoter rd29A would increase the ABA and proline concentration in leaves, leading to stomatal closure, reducing the osmotic potential and enhancing drought resistance in petunia,…

Adolescents ranked food and nutrition knowledge among the most important aspects of food literacy for them to develop healthy eating patterns. Focus groups identified that adolescents did not pay attention to food labels or dietary guidance due to not understanding their application. With this, use of Nutrition Facts Labels and recognizing nutrients of concern, as identified within…

Conversely, Douglas-fir trees are readily cross-dated and hold more promise as a candidate for future dendrochemical studies. A number of additional tree species common to salmon-bearing watersheds have been identified as suitable for dendrochemical investigations and warrant an objective assessment. Especially informative would be the analysis of tree rings from locations where once prodigious populations of…

Under the animal rule, efficacy is established based on adequate and well-controlled studies in animal models of the human disease or condition of inTherest, and safety is evaluated under the pre-existing requirements for drugs and biologic products.As an example, the plant-derived mAb cocktail ZMapp for Ebola virus disease, manufactured by Kentucky Bioprocessing for Mapp Biopharmaceutical…

The work involved 592 trees and indicated that Lam would colonize a citrus tree and the rootstock rapidly, before manifestation of leaf symptoms. Eight months after pruning, symptoms were again present in 62.5% of the 376 trees in which the entire scion was removed 15–20 cm above the grafting line, and in 58.3% of the…

California leads the nation in production of grapes, lettuce, tomatoes, almonds, strawberries, and dozens more fruit, tree nut, vegetable and melon crops. California is the sole producer of important commodities such as almonds, raisins, walnuts, pistachios, prunes and nectarines. California produces more than 80 percent of national production for avocados, strawberries, wine grapes, table grapes,…
