CAUSE SPECIFIC MORTALITY OF DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP LAMBS IN THE FRA CRISTOBAL MOUNTAINS, NEW MEXICO, USA
… are an endangered species in New Mexico. Many of the small, isolated populations of desert bighorn are declining, and factors affecting their growth rates include low lamb recruitment and high mortality of adults due to cougar predation. No one has previously reported cause-specific mortality …

USING THE FORESTRY RECLAMATION APPROACH FOR RECLAIMED SURFACE MINELAND IN THE WESTERN GULF: EFFECTS ON PINUS TAEDA SEEDLING GROWTH AND SURVIVAL
… have considerably increased soil stability since the implementation of SMCRA (Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act), research suggests that resulting soil compaction hinders the productivity of forests post-mining. The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) was developed to improve forest …

Grain storage facilities maintenance challenges in Zambia: a case study of the food reserve agency.
This study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of strategic maize storage in Zambia. Maize is a staple food in Zambia. However, because of seasonal production, its storage must be such that it is kept in good condition for sustained supply all year round. It has been observed that a large …

A Needs Assessment Regarding a Fire Risk Assessment Checklist In the Operating Room
Background: A surgical fire in the operating room (OR) is a devastating hazard that carries the weight of high morbidity and mortality. Through acknowledgment of fire risks among all OR team members, proper education, and training, as well as effective communication, a surgical fire in the OR is a …

The characteristic of frequency response on winding faults and configurations of transformer
This research presents a study on the monitoring of several winding configurations of power transformers using Frequency Response Analysis (FRA). The frequency response provides indications of any mechanical and electrical changes in the transformer’s active parts. Three units of three-phase …

Investigating inter-turn fault in transformer using TTR and FRA
Transformers are one of the significant elements in the power system network. The Transformer function is to step up and down the voltages. When the transformer operating in high load, it exposes to failures. There are various transformer failures which could have a serious effect on the …

Analysis of the performance and failure of railroad concrete crossties with various track support conditions
In North America, the use of concrete crossties has increased steadily over the past decade as they have emerged as an economic alternative to timber crossties to accommodate heavy axle freight train loads. As the number of concrete crossties has grown, the importance of understanding the …

The Intracellular Domain of the Frazzled/Dcc Receptor is a Transcription Factor Required for Commissural Axon Guidance
… that are expressed on axonal growth cones. In the canonical model of axon guidance receptor signaling, ligand binding induces the formation of protein complexes on receptor cytoplasmic domains, which locally remodel the growth cone plasma membrane and underlying cytoskeleton. Many axons …

Tracing the Pink Ribbon: Development of a Family Resilience Measure
Resilience is one of the most important biopsychosocial concepts in contemporary social science. It may mediate the impact of adversity on family health, and be a potential location for intervention. There is a need for conceiving of the mechanisms within families that impact their health …

Development of Quantitative Molecular Photoacoustic Imaging For Noninvasive Cancer Diagnostics
… can facilitate detection of malignancies before they become visible. One biomarker of interest is blood oxygen saturation (SO<sub>2</sub>) due to its correlation with hypoxia, which is associated with increased tumor malignancy; some studies have also established SO<sub>2</sub> as an independent …

Structure-Property Relationship of the Two-Photon Circular Dichroism of Compounds with Axial and Helical Chirality
Back in 1894 Lord Kelvin coined the term "chiral" in order to refer to molecules whose mirror images were not superimposable with themselves. Over the years, research has demonstrated the important role that chiral molecules play in life, chemistry, and biology as well as their importance in the …
