Chalcones are aromatic ketones that form the central core for a variety of important biological compounds. Previous research in Dr. Calderón-Urrea’s laboratory showed the efficacy of eight chalcones (1, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 25, and 30) to kill Caenorha . . .

This environment could explain the rapid proliferation of the bacteria. It wi also considered probable that the destruction, per se, of bronchiolar epithelium by the virus did not contribute significantly to the synergism.

The genus Echlnorhlnus Blainville contains two species, the brambleshark E, brucus. first described by Bonnatere (1788), and the prickly shark E, cookel. first described by Pietschmann (1928), Due to the considered a variant of E. brucus (Fowler, 1941 . . .

In the present study, laboratory demonstrations of susceptibility to infection of potential intermediate hosts are considered to provide only circumstantial evidence that these experimental hosts may also be natural intermediate hosts for tapeworms. T . . .

Models of muscle contraction were proposed as early as the third century B.C. by an Alexandrian physician, Erasistratus, who believed contraction was evoked by the passage of air into the muscle from surrounding blood vessels. Other historical investi . . .

Cyclic changes in the size of female accessory glands are described. The gland enlarges during ovarian development and gradually becomes smaller after oviposition. The results after surgical removal of the gland indicated that its function is not pert . . .

The peptide hormone ghrelin has been shown to stimulate growth hormone (GH) release, appetite, and fat deposition in vertebrates. More recently, ghrelin has been shown to play a role in glucose metabolism in mammals. Ghrelin acts through the growth ho . . .

The purpose of the study was two-fold: first, to identify and describe the air-borne Moniliales encountered in the Fresno area; and second, to determine their relative abundance. Several methods of collecting culturing and identification are described . . .

Ever since the discovery of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as an effective herbicide during World War II, extensive research effort has been directed to all aspects of this synthesized subs tame that behaves in some respects similar to plant a . . .

This study is necessary because it represents perhaps the last opportunity to examine Grinnell’s findings. Specimens were trapped and their localities mapped (see map, Fig. 1): then statistical methods were applied to various measurements such as tail . . .

During July _ September 2009, ground ultra low volume (ULV) applications of various registered mosquito adulticide formulations were evaluated in a field assay against both wild populations and an insecticide-susceptible laboratory colony of Culex pip . . .

Eleven years ago, the California State Legislature authorized the construction of a peripheral drainage canal for the San Joaquin Valley. Observations suggest that drainage water, which ultimately will come from the entire valley, may have adverse eff . . .

Mammalian cells produce different types of cell protrusions (CPs)—like filopodia, lamellipodia, invadopdia, and tunneling nanotubes—that have been implicated in numerous important biological functions, such as cell migration, cell-cell communication, . . .

There is considerable evidence linking cumulative and sustained exposure to estrogens as a key promoter of breast tumor proliferation. Chemicals with estrogenic activity can bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) to affect downstream signaling of estrogen . . .

Suction feeding is one of the primary methods aquatic organisms use to capture prey. Suction feeding in aquatic organisms is well understood in adult fish, but poorly understood in fry. Hydrodynamic theory predicts that suction feeding is not effectiv . . .

Methyl bromide is a broad-spectrum pesticide that successfully controls insects, weeds, rodents, and several pathogens in agricultural crops; however, its use is strongly restricted by international agreement. Consequently, pesticides including inline . . .

The present paper deals with the contiguity of the ranges of Thomomys bottae pascalis and Thomomys bottae mewa north and east of Clovis, Fresno County, California. In this part of California, the pocket gopher of sierra foothills belongs to the race m . . .

Three families of chick embryo DNA have been characterized and it has been shown that the most rapidly reannealing sequences (R family) are complementary to chromosomal RNA; material which fulfills the requirements of an activator RNA. This informatio . . .
