How to Use PyMOL
Tutorial video for using PyMOL to accompany “Using PyMOL to Explore the Effects of pH on Non-Covalent Interactions between Immunoglobulin G and Protein A: A Guided-Inquiry Biochemistry Activity”. Authors: Zahilyn D. ... -
HPWS data
The research focus was to examine the relationship between high-performance work system (HPWS), firm financial performance (FFP), firm innovation and improvement (FII), and firm capacity for learning and transforming ... -
HypIR: Hypertext Based Information Retrieval
(1992-08-01)Information Retrieval (IR), which is also known as text or document retrieval, is the process of locating and retrieving docri)nents that are relevant to the user queries. In hypertext environments, docuinent databases are ... -
Ice nucleating active bacteria reduce the cold-hardiness of the freeze-intolerant Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).
In laboratory experiments, a freeze-dried concentrated form of the icenucleating active bacteria, Pseudomonas syringae, was used to decrease the supercooling capacity of field-collected diapausing Colorado potato beetles, ... -
Ice nuclei in soil compromise cold hardiness of hatchling painted turtles, Chrysemys picta.
Hatchling painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) commonly overwinter within their natal nests and survive exposure to temperatures as low as -12 degrees C by supercooling. We report that the supercooling capacity of hatchling ... -
Ice-nucleating active bacteria decrease the cold-hardiness of stored grain insects.
This report provides further evidence that a freeze-dried, concentrated form of Pseudomonas syringae, an ice-nucleating active bacteria, reduces the cold tolerance of stored grain insect pests. Application of ice-nucleating ... -
Identification and expression of a putative facilitative urea transporter in three species of true frogs (Ranidae): implications for terrestrial adaptation.
Urea transporters (UTs) help mediate the transmembrane movement of urea and therefore are likely important in amphibian osmoregulation. Although UTs contribute to urea reabsorption in anuran excretory organs, little is ... -
Identification of ice nucleating active Pseudomonas fluorescens strains for biological control of overwintering Colorado potato beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).
Laboratory studies were conducted to identify ice-nucleating active bacterial strains able to elevate the supercooling point, the temperature at which freezing is initiated in body fluids, of Colorado potato beetles, ... -
Identifying subgroups of age and cohort effects in obesity prevalence
The obesity epidemic represents an important public health issue in the United States. Studying obesity trends across age groups over time helps to identify crucial relationships between the disease and medical treatment ... -
Imagining democratic futures for public universities: Educational leadership against fatalism’s temptations
At current rates, almost all U.S. public universities could reach a point of zero state subsidy within the next fifty years. What is a public university without public funding? In this essay, Kathleen Knight Abowitz ... -
Implementation of an Information Retrieval System (ANIRS) with Ranking and Browsing Capabilities
(1992-04-01)This report describes an implementation of a cluster based information retrieval system with statistical ranking facilities, ANIRS. ANIRS uses the vector space model to represent the document database. In this model, the ... -
Implementation of the Interview Scheduling System for Miami University's Career Planning and Placement Office
(1993-03-01)This project is an extension of systems analysis and design cavered in two classes - SAN 4721572 (Analysis of Infcwmation Systems) and SAN 4751575 (Structured Design and Implementation). My implementation involved work in ... -
Information Pollution in an Age of Populist Politics
The increasing influence of private interests in public policy has been facilitated by a growth in sources of “alternative” information and expertise. In education, teachers and schools are often the targets of these ... -
Inoculative freezing and the problem of winter survival for freshwater macroinvertebrates
Due to the thermal buffering of their environment, aquatic invertebrates are less likely than their terrestrial counterparts to face temperatures substantially below 0°C. Aquatic invertebrates may not be able to avoid ... -
Inservice Education of High School Computer Science Teachers
(1988-09-01)The United States urgently needs strong high school computer science programs. Our economy and the technological level of our society depend upon a continuing supply of high quality scientists, mathematicians, engineers, ... -
Inspiring and implementing bottom-up change: The omnivore’s advantage
In this commentary, first I join with numerous educators who have argued for or produced evidence supporting bottom-up, professionally-driven educational change. However, I then argue that to fully realize the potential ... -
Integrated Expert System Development Environment With an Automatic Verification Feature: An Application To Grinding Process
(1994-09-01)The concerns of this Master degree project are the implementations of an expert system development environment and an application to manufacturing. The environment is given the name of IDEA (Integrated expert system ... -
Integrating Community-based Research into a Criminal Justice Capstone Course
There have been a number of themes influencing teaching approaches in undergraduate education in recent years. These include experiential learning and an emphasis on providing research opportunities to students. Couple ... -
The Integration of Software Development Tools
(1987-04-01)The effectiveness of software development tools can be dr creased by their integration (i.e. their cooperation). This paper discusses the problems to be overcome in integration of tools, and a categorization of the degree ... -
