Dawkins, Beverly Ann | The embryonic development of the California Gull | The California gull (Larus califomicus) is a summer resident in Utah nesting commonly on certain islands in Great Salt Lake as well as at man-made refuges on the east side of the lake. Many aspects of the biology of the species have been investigated (Beck, 1942; Behle, 1958; Behle and Goates, 1957;... | 1965-12-03 | |

Sperry, John S. | Inter-tracheid pitting and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood: the role of tracheid allometry and cavitation protection | Plant xylem must balance efficient delivery of water to the canopy against protection from air entry into the conduits via air-seeding. We investigated the relationship between tracheid allometry, end wall pitting, safety from air-seeding, and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood in order to bet... | Allometry; Araucariaceae; cavitation | 2006 |

Ehleringer, James R. | Simplified GIS approach to modeling global leaf water isoscapes | The stable hydrogen (d2H) and oxygen (d18O) isotope ratios of organic and inorganic materials record biological and physical processes through the effects of substrate isotopic composition and fractionations that occur as reactions proceed. At large scales, these processes can exhibit spatial predic... | Oxygen isotope ratio; Hydrogen isotope ratio; Leaf water isoscapes; GIS | 2008 |

Firmage, Edwin B. | MX:democracy, religion and the rule of law--my journey | This is my story of the defeat of the MX missile's proposed basing mode in the Great Basin of the West. Where to begin? I'm reflecting on cancer and MX at this moment. About journeys where we would not go but do. Beginnings are not easy, though the first verses of Genesis and John make them sound so... | Missile Experimental; Great Basin; Cold War | 2004 |

Sperry, John S. | Evolution of water transport and xylem structure | Land plants need water to replace the evaporation that occurs while atmospheric CO2 is diffusing into photosynthetic tissue. The water-for-carbon exchange rate is poor, and evolutionary history indicates a progression of innovations for cheap water transport--beginning in order with capillary sucti... | Cavitation; Vessels; Plants | 2003 |

Linton, Matthew J. | Hydraulic conductivity, xylem cavitation, and water potential for succulent leaves of agave deserti and agave tequilana | Axial hydraulic conductivity (Kh) was measured for fresh, dehydrated, and rehydrated leaves of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) leaf succulents, Agave deserti and Agave tequilana. Dehydration of leaves at 35(o)C for several hours caused Kh to decrease, with a 50% decrease occurring at a leaf w... | Transpiration; Dehydrated; Drought | 2001 |

Stoller, Leigh B. | Message passing support in the Avalanche widget | Minimizing communication latency in message passing multiprocessing systems is critical. An emerging problem in these systems is the latency contribution costs caused by the need to percolate the message through the memory hierarchy (at both sending and receiving nodes) and the additional cost of ma... | Avalanche widget; Message passing; Cache coherence; Message copying; Cache miss rates; Computer memory | 1996 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Purification and characterization of mouse hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase. | Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPR transferase) (EC 2.4.2.8) has been purified approximately 4500-fold to apparent homogeneity from mouse liver. The procedure involves the use of affinity chromatography and was designed to be readily adaptable to small scale isolations.

Sekercioglu, Cagan | The effects of climate change on tropical birds | Birds are among the most widely studied organisms on earth and represent an important indicator group for learning about the effects of climate change - particularly in regard to the effects of climate change on tropical ecosystems. In this review, we assess the potential impacts of climate change o... | 2010-01-01 | |

Newman, Lex | Unmasking Descartes's case for the bete machine doctrine | Among the more notorious of Cartesian doctrines is the bete machine doctrine -- the view that brute animals lack not only reason, but any form of consciousness (having no mind or soul). Recent English commentaries have served to obscure, rather than to clarify, the historical Descartes's views, Stan... | Animals; Intelligence; Soul; Mechanical causation | 2001 |

Flynn, John J. | Antitrust policy and health care reform | Among the economic and political challenges facing the United States today, none is more significant - yet difficult to resolve - than the complex puzzle of how to reform the delivery of health care services. A consensus appears to have been reached that reform should extend health care coverage to ... | 1994 | |

Lobell, Steven E. | Preventive military strike or preventive war? the fungibilty of power resources | Differential rates of growth explanations for preventive war assume that power resources are highly fungible. That is, they assume that a state's power resources are easily and quickly ‘moveable' into practical military capability. This ‘unidimensional and undifferentiated' baseline obscures an ... | Neoclassical realism; preventive war; preventive strikes; fungibility power; resources aggregate; power realism; osiraq israel syria | 2021 |

Farmer, Colleen G.; Carrier, David R. | Integration of ventilation and locomotion in archosaurs | Movements of the pelvis have recently been found to contribute to ventilation in both crocodilians and birds. Alligators have a kinetic pelvis in which the ischiopubic and ischiotruncus muscles rotate the pubic bones ventrally to increase abdominal volume and thereby facilitate inspiration.
