Genetic deletion of the mitochondrial phosphate carrier desensitizes the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and causes cardiomyopathy
The mitochondrial phosphate carrier (PiC) is critical for ATP synthesis by serving as the primary means for mitochondrial phosphate import across the inner membrane. In addition to its role in energy productio...

Effect of low vitamin a status on fat deposition and fatty acid desaturation in beef cattle
A group of Angus beef cattle was removed from temperate pastures and fed a very low β-carotene cereal-based ration in a feedlot for over 300 d. Half the group was supplemented weekly with retinyl palmitate (at...

Artificial armored shorelines: sites for open-coast species in a southern California bay
Artificial hard substrates have been used to stabilize naturally soft bay shorelines for centuries. Despite the loss of over half of the natural shoreline in many bays, little attention has been paid to the c...

Production and transport of denitrification gases in shallow ground water
The contribution of potentially intense denitrification in the saturated zone of hydromorphic soils to atmospheric N2O levels is poorly understood because few data exist on shallow ground water N2O production, co...

Quantitative genetics of bud phenology, frost damage, and winter survival in an F2 family of hybrid poplars
We studied the quantitative genetics of bud phenology, fall frost damage, and winter survival in an F2 family (no. 822) of Populus hybrids derived from a cross between two full-sub F1 hybrids (P. trichocarpa (Tor...

Ultrasound velocity and broadband attenuation as predictors of load-bearing capacities of human calcanei
The main purpose of this study was to determine whether calcaneal ultrasound parameters, measured in the mediolateral direction, reflect load-bearing capacities of human calcanei. Broadband ultrasound attenuat...

Non-destructive wood density distribution measurements using computed tomography
Two computed tomography scanners have been used to acquire density profiles from five wooden test pieces. These test pieces had annual growth ring widths varying between about 0.6 mm and 3.5 mm. The two scanne...

The water velocity preferences of Austrosimulium furiosum and Simulium ornatipes (Diptera: Simuliidae) larvae, and the implications for micro-habitat partitioning
The aquatic larvae of two simuliid species, Austrosimulium furiosum (Skuse) and Simulium ornatipes Skuse, which often occur together in Victorian streams, were shown in laboratory experiments to have preferences ...

Strategies in Regulation of Protein Associations of the Spectrin-Based Membrane Skeleton
The spectrin-based membrane skeleton of nonerythroid cells exhibits an unsuspected variety in protein interactions and regulatory mechanisms. Spectrin has at least two options in linkage to the membrane: ankyr...

Diversity in protein associations of the spectrin-based membrane skeleton of nonerythroid cells
The purpose of this review is to summarize recent progress in understanding interactions of spectrin with membranes from brain and other tissues. Spectrin has at least two choices in linkages with the membrane...

Water use, growth and rubber yields of four guayule selections as related to irrigation regimes
There has been renewed interest in cultivating guayule (Parthenium argentatum G.) for rubber production. Water use, growth and rubber yields of four guayule selections (593, 11.591, 11 646 and 4265 XF) were evalu...
