The Proteomic Response of Gill Tissue in Tidally and Subtidally-Acclimated California Mussels, Mytilus californianus, to Acute Emersion-Induced Anoxia
<p>Intertidal mussels regularly experience emersion-induced anoxia, in contrast to normoxic conditions experienced during submersion. We therefore hypothesized that acclimation to a tidal rhythm, as opposed to a rhythm of constant submersion, preconditions the proteome of the California mussel, …

The Emersion of Low-Profit Limited Liability Companies: A Case Study of the Implementation of Hybrid Organizations in Louisiana and North Carolina
<p>A new business entity designed for social entrepreneurs to embrace is gaining acceptance in a number of states, including Louisiana and North Carolina. The new entity, the low-profit limited liability company (L3C), is a byproduct of the current two options of operating, as a traditional private …

The Proteomic Responses of Gill Tissue in Tidally and Subtidally-Acclimated Mussel Congeners (Mytilus trossulus and Mytilus galloprovincialis) to Acute Aerial-Emersion Hypoxia
… stress to study is low tide or aerial-emersion as both species can be found both tidally and subtidally. According to Grieshaber et al. (1994) and Müller et al. (2012) <em>Mytilus edulis </em>mussels have mechanisms for mitigating aerial-emersion hypoxia; however, very few studies have …

Effect of Oxygen-Limiting Tidal Conditions on Muscle Metabolism and Structure in the Giant Acorn Barnacle, Balanus nubilus
… to: normoxic immersion, anoxic immersion, or air emersion, for acute (6h) or chronic (6h exposures twice daily for 2wks) time periods. Following exposure, we immediately measured hemolymph pO<sub>2</sub>, pCO<sub>2</sub>, pH, Na<sup>+</sup>, Cl<sup>-</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, and Ca<sup>+ </sup>then …

Physiological Response of the Giant Acorn Barnacle, Balanus nubilus, to Air Exposure
… exacerbated during low tide air exposure (emersion) or environmental hypoxia events, which are increasing in frequency and duration along the world’s coastlines. We are interested in characterizing the internal oxygen conditions of <em>B. nubilus </em>during air emersion and anoxia so that …

Analysis of light curves from the 2003 Nov 14 occultation by Titan of TYC 1343-1855-1
… latitudes 2°S and 1°N during immersion and emersion, respectively. A prominent central flash was present in only the i' filter, indicating wavelength-dependent atmospheric extinction. We inverted the light curves to obtain six lower-limit temperature profiles between 335 and 485 km (0.04 and …

Excretory nitrogen metabolism in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, pelodiscus sinensis
… conditions, namely feeding, salinity stress, emersion and acute ammonia toxicity, on nitrogen metabolism and excretion in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis. Pelodiscus sinensis is ureogenic and primarily ureotelic in freshwater. Our results reveal that a major portion of the …

The Role of Racial Socialization and Ethnocentrism in the Racial Identity Development of Second-Generation Black West Indian Americans
… related to Internalization and Immersion-Emersion status attitudes and inversely related to Pre-encounter status attitudes. The second variate indicated that mistrust themed socialization was positively related to Immersion/Emersion, Encounter and Pre-encounter status attitudes. Regression …

An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Racial Identity Developme
… (preencounter, encounter, and immersion /emersion) and the measures of the Career Thoughts Inventory (decision making confusion, external conflict, commitment anxiety). Results of the data suggest that individuals in the preencounter, encounter, and immersion /emersion stages of Black …

Production of Dimethyl Sulphide (DMS) by Scleractinian Coral during Aerial Exposure – Effect of Temperature and Light
… collected from corals both prior to and during emersion in a hermetically sealed vial system and DMS was content measured via gas chromatography. Major differences in DMS production during emersion were observed between species; Acropora inermis production increased significantly upon exposure …

The impact of UV radiation on the health and pathogen development of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
… were chosen to mimic tidal immersion and emersion. The intensity of exposure was lowered in the second trial in order to carry out the treatment over the length of a typical solar peak (midday) during low tide, with the total dose typical of what would be experienced in the south coast of …

Becoming Transcultural: Filling The Cultural And Communication Gap Within The Black American Community
… revealed that the Pre-encounter, Immersion, Emersion and Internalization phases of Black identity are predictors of minority hardships. There were also significant results for the Internalization phase of Black identity and the ability to be transcultural. In conclusion, Black Americans that …

Thermoregulatory behavior of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in a burrow environment
… at critical temperatures. These periods of emersion were interspersed with frequent dipping in the water, allowing the crayfish to gain the benefits of evaporative cooling, without the physiological costs incurred by long-term exposure to air.

The relationship between racial identity attitudes and the experience and expression of anger
… of both the encounter status and the immersion-emersion status. Inferences into the experience and expression of anger at all stages of racial identity development were tested in this thesis. In this study 22 African-American females were administered a number of surveys to measure racial …

The effects of acute handling stress on the secondary stress responses of striped bass (Morone saxtilis) and its hybrid (Morone chrysops x Morone saxtilis)
… and osmolality. Fish were stressed by aerial emersion in a dipnet. The first study was conducted with fingerling inland and anadromous striped bass. The three goals were to: determine if fingerlings responded with the General Adaptation Syndrome, if the two had different responses to the …

The Relationship Between Racial Identity, Ethnic Identity, and African-American Acculturation and their Contribution to Psychological Well-Being
… four Cross (1971) stages (encounter, immersion-emersion, and internalization). Relinquishing the White frame of reference and achieving inner security with their Blackness coincides with immersion in the eight facets comprising African-American culture. Individuals who do not identify with their …

Determining the Rates of Protein Synthesis in the Zebrafish Heart in Response to Chronic Unpredictable Stress
… variety of stressors on zebrafish comprising air emersion, net chasing or net confinement were employed to model CUS. These approaches were validated by a parallel behavioural analysis. The results revealed that glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes as well as proteins involved in hypoxia had …

Aspects of the physiology of decapod crustaceans with particular reference to the live marketing of Cancer pagurus (L) and Necora puber (L)
… a net influx of ammonia (NH4+) occurred.During emersion, blood ammonia concentration rose. Such accumulated ammonia was very rapidly off loaded when the animals were re-immersed.The data produced has been discussed in the context of crustacean physiology and of improving the expectations of …
