During any marine oil spill, floating oil slicks that reach shorelines threaten a wide array of coastal habitats. To assess the presence of oil near shorelines during the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, we scanned the library of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery collected during the event to determine which images intersected shorelines and appeared to contain oil. In total, 715 SAR ima...

Oiling out during the crystallization process often generates agglomeration. This research is focused on control of agglomeration in antisolvent propylparaben-ethanol-water system presence oiling out, that is, liquid-liquid phase separation phenomenon. Crystallization trajectories were designed to start from a homogeneous solution with different initial concentrations propylparaben ethanol, cro...

The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) or cyclosome directs the ubiquitination and destruction of proteins that control specific steps in mitosis. Recent studies show that APC activity requires WD40 domain proteins, and that one of these proteins is part of the checkpoint control that ensures accurate chromosome segregation.

The general sequence of dustbathing components in Bobwhite (Co&us uirginiunus) has been described and the frequency of some of the components found to increase with dust deprivation ( Borchelt et al. 1973 ) Upon replication, a sex X deprivation interaction for the frequency of some components was discovered, with male Bobwhite exhibiting greater increases than females ( Borchelt 1972). I observ...
