In order for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to comply with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), and better meet the needs of the public; a visitor satisfaction survey was conducted at 23 BLM recreation sites in 11 states during fiscal year 2010 (FY10). The survey was developed to measure each site's performance related to BLM GPRA Goal 3.1 Provide for a quality recreation exp...

We investigated the potential usefulness of vesnarinone, a novel cytokine inhibitor, for the treatment of lung fibrosis using a murine model of bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Mice were fed a control diet (n=42), or a diet containing low (n=42) or high (n=42) dose of vesnarinone. Dietary intake of vesnarinone minimized the BLM toxicity as reflected by significant decreases in number...

Bloom syndrome, characterized by a predisposition to cancer, is caused by mutation of the RecQ DNA helicase gene BLM. The precise function of BLM remains unclear. Previous research suggested that Drosophila BLM functions in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Most double-strand breaks in flies are repaired by homologous recombination through the synthesis-dependent strand-annealing pathway....

Bleomycin hydrolase (BH) is the only known eukaryotic enzyme that inactivates the widely used antineoplastic agent bleomycin (BLM) and is a primary candidate gene for protection against lethal BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis and for BLM resistance in tumors. Human BH was found to exist as a single gene that was mapped to chromosome 17 using National Institute of General Medical Sciences human/ro...

Mechanical characteristics of bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) composed of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and cholesterol in the gel and liquid crystalline state were studied by measuring the modulus of elasticity in direction perpendicular to the BLM plane, E perpendicular. The value of E perpendicular varied nonmonotonically with the cholesterol concentration, with a maximum around c = 50...

A biological experiment of six weeks duration, followed by several laboratory investigations were carried out to study the effect of designer layer mash (DLM) containing full fat flaxseed, oil rich sardine fish, Holy Basil leaf meal (BLM), vitamin E and Organic selenium (Sel-plex), on haematology of layers. Both designer diet and BLM had significant effect on haematology of layers. They also ex...
