Abstract:
This paper analyzes the role of global land-use in determining potential greenhouse gas mitigation by land-based activities in agriculture and forestry. Land-based activities are responsible for over a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet the economics of land-use decisions have not been explicitly modeled in global mitigation studies. In this paper, we develop a new, general equilibrium framework which effectively captures the opportunity costs of land-use decisions in agriculture and forestry, thereby allowing us to analyze competition for heterogeneous land types across and within

Abstract:
Ruminants provide human society with high quality food from non-human-edible resources, but their emissions negatively impact the environment via greenhouse gas production. The rumen and its resident microorganisms dictate both processes. The overall goal of this project was to determine whether a causal relationship exists between the rumen microbiome and the host animal's physiology, and if so, to isolate and examine the specific determinants that enable this causality. To this end, we divided the project into three specific parts: (1) determining the feed efficiency of 200 milking cows, (2)

Abstract:
Currently, methylotrophic yeast expression system has been developed and widely used for recombinant proteins production. In this research, Pichia pastoris strains, X-33, GS115, KM71H, and Hansenula polymorpha NRRL2214, were used as hosts for recombinant monomeric insulin production. Recombinant plasmids, TP1, TP2, TP4, which have 1, 2 and 4 copy(s) of monomeric insulin precursor (MIP) gene, respectively, were successfully constructed in pPICZαA expression vector and transformed into the hosts. The recombinant yeasts which harboring TP1, TP2, TP4 plasmids which integrated into their genome wer

Abstract:
Research has assessed the accuracy of two commercially-available hydrocarbon dew point (HCDP) analyzers, an Ametek� Model 241 CE II and a Michell Condumax II. During a previous phase of this project, both automated analyzers, along with a Bureau of Mines chilled mirror device serving as a reference, were tested on gravimetrically-prepared gas blends chosen to simulate a transmission-quality gas and a production gas. The measurement repeatability of both units was found to be better than the manual chilled mirror. Trends in the analyzer and manual chilled mirror measurements suggested that diff

Abstract:
MK-1, the target molecule of FU-MK-1, is encoded by the GA733-2 gene, which is currently being used as a target in clinical trials for gastric, intestinal, and biliary cancer treatment with monoclonal antibodies. Here, two different arrangement of heavy-chain and K light-chain variable fusion gene, IL2/FUscFv(VK-VH) or IL2/FUscFv(VWVK), were constructed. The efficiency of protein expression in prokaryotic host expression system, Escherichia coli strains BL21(DE3)pLysS and Rosetta-gami B was compared with eukaryotic host expression system, Pichia pastoris strains GS115 and KM71H, for their abil

Abstract:
The use of bee natural product for enhancing pollination is especially valuable in problematic crops that are generally avoided by bees. In the present research we attempted to enhance bee visitation to Male Sterile (M-S) tomato flowers generally used in the production of hybrid seeds. These flowers that lack both pollen and nectar are unattractive to bees that learn rapidly to avoid them. The specific objects were to elucidate the chemical composition of the exocrine products of two bumble bee species the North American Bombus impatiens and the Israeli B. terrestris. Of these, to isolate and
