551 Broughton, JohnPrehistoric human impacts on California birds: evidence from the Emeryville Shellmound AvifaunaThe abundance of artiodactyls, marine mammals, waterfowl, seabirds, and other animals in 18th- and 19th-century California astonished early explorers, and the incredible wildlife densities reported in their accounts are routinely taken as analogues for the original or pristine zoological condition. ...Avifauna; Prehistoric hunting; Biological evaluation of environmental impacts2004
552 Firmage, Edwin B.J. Reuben Clark, Jr., law and international orderPresident J. Reuben Clark, Jr., spent his professional career, spanning some twenty-seven years, as an international lawyer.1 From the time of his graduation from the Columbia Law School in 1906 and his appointment as assistant Solicitor (an assistant legal adviser in the Department of State) in the...Arbitration; Settlement; Resolution1973
553 Bastiani, MichaelCell-cell interactions during the migration of an identified commissural growth cone in the embryonic grasshopperOne of the fascicles of the posterior commissure of the embryonic grasshopper is pioneered by an individually identifiable neuron named Q1. Q1 initially grows along a longitudinal pathway established by another pioneer neuron, MPl, and then crosses to the midline, where it meets and fasciculates wi...Commissure; Pathfinding; Filopodia1993

555 Capecchi, Mario R.Patterns of integration of DNA microinjected into cultured mammalian cells: evidence for homologous recombination between injected plasmid DNA molecules.We examined the fate of DNA microinjected into nuclei of cultured mammalian cells. The sequence composition and the physical form of the vector carrying the selectable gene affected the efficiency of DNA-mediated transformation. Introduction of sequences near the simian virus 40 origin of DNA replic...Base Sequence; Cell Line; Genes, Viral; Genetic Vectors; Mice; Microinjections1982-11
556 Sperry, John S.Size and function in conifer tracheids and angiosperm vesselsThe wide size range of conifer tracheids and angiosperm vessels has important consequences for function. In both conduit types, bigger is better for conducting efficiency. The gain in efficiency with size is maximized by the control of conduit shape, which balances end-wall and lumen resistances.Ecological wood anatomy; vascular structure and function; water transport2006
557 Davidson, Diane W.Species diversity and community organization in desert seed-eating antsPatterns of species diversity and community organization in desert seed-eating ants were studied in 10 habitats on a longitudinal gradient of increasing rainfall extending from southeastern California, through southern Arizona, and into southwestern New Mexico. Local communities of harvester ants...Ants; Arizona; California; Communities; Competition; Desert Granivores; Diversity; Insects; New Mexico; Novomessor; Pheidole; Pogonomyrmex; Resource allocation; Veromessor.1977
558 Morse, Michael DavidSpectroscopy and electronic structure of jet-cooled GaAsAn optical spectrum, obtained by resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy, is reported for jet-cooled diatomic gallium arsenide. The ground state is identified as X??-, deriving from a ??rr? molecular configuration, and is characterized by ?" = 215 cm-1, ?"exe" = 3 cm-1, and r0' = 2.53 ? 0.02 ?. ...1989
559 Lucero, Mary T.; Mobley, Arie S.Cross-species comparison of metabolite profiles in chemosensory epithelia: an indication of metabolite roles in chemosensory cellsComparative studies of chemosensory systems in vertebrates and invertebrates have greatly enhanced our understanding of anatomical and physiological constraints of chemical detection. Immunohistochemical comparisons of chemosensory systems are difficult to make across species due to limited cross-re...Olfactory; Vomeronasal; Mouse; Zebrafish; Squid2008-04
560 Davidson, Diane W.Comparative structure of harvester ant communities in arid Australia and North AmericaIn the Australian arid zone, the species richness of ants is greater and that of mammalian granivores is less than in North American deserts. This study aimed to determine if the structure of harvester ant communities differs from that seen in North American deserts, focussing on differences relate...Species; Rodents; Diversity1988
561 Rogers, Alan R.Evolution of time preference by natural selectionThis paper entertains the hypothesis that human time preferences are in evolutionary equilibrium (i.e. that no mutation changing time preferences could be favored by natural selection). This hypothesis implies that the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) holding Darwinian fitness constant must equal...Capitalism; Econometric models; Equilibrium1994-06
562 Capecchi, Mario R.Hoxa1 lineage-tracing indicates a direct role for Hoxa1 in development of the inner ear, the heart and the third rhombomereLoss of Hoxa1 function results in severe defects of the brainstem, inner ear and cranial ganglia in humans and mice as well as cardiovascular abnormalities in humans. Since Hoxa1 is expressed very transiently during an early embryonic stage, it has been difficult to determine whether Hoxa1 plays a d...Hoxa1; Inner ear; Third rhombomere; Hindbrain; Hoxa1-IRES-Cre mouse; Embryonic development; Lineage-tracing2010
563 Pounder, Diana G.; Bergerson, Amy A.Job desirability of the university professorate in the field of educational leadershipThis survey research study uses job choice theory to assess recent educational leadership doctoral graduates' perceptions of the desirability of the educational administration professorate. Results reveal attractive and unattractive aspects of professorial work as well as those job attributes that ...Educational administration; Professorial work2004
564 Morrow, AnnePreserving and Disseminating Emerging Forms of Digital Scholarship in Academic and Research Libraries: The EDS ReportThis report addresses challenges and offers recommendations to librarians, archivists, preservationists, and other information professionals seeking to archive and preserve emerging forms of digital scholarship. Our goal for the recommendations was, first and foremost, that they address known preser...Digital scholarship; Libraries; Archives2019
565 Silverman, Randall H.Connoisseurship of nineteenth and early twentieth century publishers' bookbindingsThe vast majority of historically significant nineteenth- and early-twentieth century publishers' bookbindings reside in the general collections of research libraries.
