The adsorption of viruses from aqueous solution is frequently performed to detect viruses. Charged filtration materials capture via electrostatic interactions, but lack the specificity biological virus-binding substances like heparin. Herein, we present three methods immobilize heparin-mimicking, polymers a filter material. Two mussel-inspired approaches are used, based on dopamine or dendritic...

Production characteristics of white-faced rams have been systematically evaluated over a 140-d test in Wyoming since 1961. Individual test records ( = 4,240) from rams on test were analyzed to determine change over the past 52 yr. Although rams on test are not older, weight on and off test has increased ( < 0.001) since 1961. Weight off test increased 22.7 kg and contributed to an increase ( < ...
