An enzyme similar to that described by Smith and Wilcox (15) for Haemophilus influenzae which attacks foreign deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) but not its own has been isolated and purified from H. parainfluenzae. The enzyme degrades foreign DNA to limited sizes and can destroy the transforming activity of H. influenzae and Bacillus subtilis DNA. The enzyme can also destroy the biological activity o...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed phosphorus is stored primarily as phytic acid, a form in which it is unavailable to monogastric mammals and birds. Because of the nutritional and environmental problems caused by phytic acid, development of cultivars with low phytic acid (lpa) mutations has become an important objective in many soybean breeding programs. Information about the inheritance of...

The contribution of the strange-quark current to the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon is studied using lattice QCD. The strange current matrix elements from our lattice calculation are analyzed in two different ways, the differential method used in an earlier work by Wilcox and a cumulative method which sums over all current insertion times. The preliminary results of our simulation ...

Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD), the first issue of which was published in January 2004, is the product of Dr Lynne Wilcox’s vision to create a journal that intersects research programs, practice, and policy. With the support of Dr James Marks, then the director of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Dr Wilcox created a peer-reviewed publication dedicated t...

While the research in the area of fear of criminal victimization among students at school continues to grow, few studies have focused on the prevalence or correlates of fear of crime at school among teachers. Using data from 1,438 teachers from 54 public high schools in Kentucky, we examined the individualand school-level predictors of teacher perceptions of school safety using hierarchical lin...
