Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an imaging technique that uses wide-band nonsinusoidal electromagnetic waves to produce high-resolution images of the subsurface typically from 0-–10 m depth. GPR is an effective tool for subsurface inspection and quality control on engineering construction projects. The survey method is rapid, nondestructive and noninvasive. GPR has been successfully applied t...

Order unit spaces with comparability and spectrality properties as introduced by Foulis are studied. We define continuous functional calculus for order the property Borel spectral spaces. Applying conditions of Alfsen Schultz, we characterize that JB-algebras. also prove a characterization Rickart JB-algebras those which every maximal associative subalgebra is monotone σ-complete, extending an ...

Nature of Work: Japanese beetles (JB), Popillia japonica Newman, are destructive, highly polyphagus herbivores that show a general preference for plants in the Rosaceae family. Although Malus taxa are often found to be susceptible to JB, there are substantial differences in resistance among Malus species and cultivars (1,2). In a prior study, total phenolic levels in Malus were not correlated w...

Deoxycholic acid (DCA) has been implicated in colorectal carcinogenesis in humans with effects on proliferation and apoptosis, mediated at least in part by activation of transcription factors nuclear factor kappa B (NF-jB), activator protein 1 (AP-1) and protein kinase C (PKC) enzymes. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is reported to reduce the frequency of colonic carcinogenesis in ulcerative coliti...
