Improving nutrient and water use efficiencies by optimizing field management practices are important strategies to increase economic environmental sustainability of canola production in North America. The objective this study was review recent research publications quantitatively assess the impact on efficiency selected macronutrients [nitrogen (N) sulfur (S)] identify most effective cultural f...

The robot described in this paper, SUE (Supinator Extender), adds forearm/wrist rehabilitation functionality to the UCI BONES exoskeleton robot and to the ArmeoSpring rehabilitation device. SUE is a 2-DOF serial chain that can measure and assist forearm supination-pronation and wrist flexion-extension. The large power to weight ratio of pneumatic actuators allows SUE to achieve the forces neede...

The kinetic constants for the hydrolysis of a series of I-nitroanilide substrates by human leukocyte (HL) elastase and cathepsin G, porcine pancreatic elastase, and bovine chymotrypsin at pH 7.50 are reported. HL elastase and cathepsin G are currently thought to be the agents responsible for destruction of the lung in the disease emphysema. MeO-Sue-Ala-Ala-Pro-VaI-NA is an excellent substrate f...

Rosenblum, E. D. (The University of Texas, Dallas), and Sue Tyrone. Serology, density, and morphology of staphylococcal phages. J. Bacteriol. 88:1737-1742. 1964.-A correlation between serology, buoyant density, and morphology has been demonstrated for six serological groups of staphylococcal phages. Four morphological types have been observed and represent the following serological groups: (i) ...
