Extensive research addressed foliar fertilization of soybeans at reproductive stages during the 70s and 80s. The soybean plant has been characterized by markedly reduced root activity during late seed development and increased translocation of nutrients and metabolites from other tissue into the seed. This depletion of nutrients from leaves could result in decreased photosynthesis, leaf senesce...

Using a survey conducted among college students at Andrews University, this study focused on substance use and sexual behaviors of students and the presence of familial substance use problems. Analysis indicated a significant association between substance use problems of fathers and their children’s substance use. There was a stronger statistical association between father’s substance use probl...

Many epidemiological and clinical studies have shown that light-to-moderate alcohol (Alc) consumption is associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and total mortality in middle-aged and elderly men and women. The plausible mechanisms for the putative cardioprotective effects include increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, prevention of clot formation, reduce...

Isolated stomachs from mammals showed substantial active absorption of sodium (Am.]. Dig. Dis. 14:221-238, 1969) in contrast to isolated frog gastric mucosa. Could the difference have been due to a "micro-environment" in the latter preparation based on fine structure features that maintained high H-ion concentration at the site of active transport? To answer this, H-ion secretion was inhibited ...

intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures, first introduced by Hey Groves in 1918 and later popularised by K#{252}ntscher (1940, 1958, 1967), B#{246}hler (1951), Street (1951) and Lottes ( 1953), is in most current textbooks described as a routine surgical operation. It is regarded as the method of choice in transverse and short oblique fractures of the femoral shaft (B#{246}hler 1951 :...

A lcohol use is associated with tremendous costs to the drinker, those around him or her, and society as a whole. These costs result from the increased health risks (both physical and mental) associated with alcohol consumption as well as from the social harms caused by alcohol. This issue of Alcohol Research: Current Reviews examines the public health impact of alcohol consumption, looking at ...

Title of Document: PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER IN IONIC MEDIA Rebecca Cristine Vieira, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Daniel E. Falvey, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry The goal of this research was to explore the use of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and ionic liquids crystals (ILCs) as reaction media for photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes. Photoindu...
