Bollgard cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) containing the CryIAc endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner became commercially available to cotton producers in 1996. Bollgard cultivars since that time have provided excellent control of the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens F., for growers in Arkansas. Control of bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and other lepidopterous pests has been less ...

For more than a decade, numerous reports have called for a rethinking and restructuring of high school and undergraduate science education to make it more relevant and accessible to a broader spectrum of students (Handelsman et al., 2006; Hulleman and Harackiewicz, 2009; National Research Council [NRC], 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003a,b,c, 2005, 2008; National Science Foundation [NSF], 1996) and ...

Most local health authorities in Great Britain have used the Phenistix test on wet napkins or diapers (napkin-Phenistix test) to screen all young infants for phenylketonuria (Centerwall et al., 1963). This test is a sensitive and reliable method of detecting phenylpyruvic aciduria (Gibbs and Woolf, 1959; Woolf, 1963), which is an early sign of true phenylketonuria (Allen et al., 1964; Berry and...

SITUATION Almost indisputable belief that base isolation hardware should separate a building from shaking ground just by definition is extremely appealing. The examples are numerous. Sometimes, it was even stated that seismic forces in base isolated structures could be reduced by factor of 66 in comparison with conventional construction (Tajirian et al. 1990), though the degree of promised miti...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in posttranscriptional gene regulation (cf., Bartel, 2004). First identified in C. elegans just over a decade ago (Lee et al., 1993), miRNAs have been identified in virtually every metazoan and plant species examined. Experimental evidence is rapidly accumulating that shows miRNAs to play key roles in process such as cellular differ...
