Isoetes mississippiensis S.W. Leonard, W.C. Taylor, L.J. Musselman and R.D. Bray (Isoetaceae, Lycopodiophyta) is a new species known from two sites along tributaries of the Pearl River in southern Mississippi. This species is distinguished from other species in the southeastern United States by a combination of character states including a basic diploid (2n=22) chromosome count, laevigate megas...

Stream channelization, which entails reducing the sinuosity of a stream, widening, and in some cases deepening stream channel, is widespread practice agricultural regions. Channelization efforts central Illinois have significant impacts on geomorphology, flow regime, sediment transport both adjacent to modified reaches. The goal this study was characterize changes channels by comparing three st...

For isoquinoline 1-oxidoreductase (IsoOr), the reaction mechanism under turnover conditions was studied by EPR spectroscopy using rapid-freeze methods. IsoOr displays several EPR-active Mo(V) species including the "very rapid" component found also in xanthine oxidase (XanOx). For IsoOr, unlike XanOx or quinoline 2-oxidoreductase (QuinOr), this species is stable for about 1 h in the absence of a...

Our topic is the evaluation and treatment of obesity in the practice of medicine. I am joined by Dr. Harold Bays who has carried out many studies of dietary and medical interventions in patients with obesity. I am also honored to have Dr. George Bray who is known for his many years of research into causes of obesity and its therapy. Our goal is bring this clinical and research experience to bea...

Breast cancer is the leading cancer among women world-wide (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2008). BC incidence has been increasing in both developed and developing countries (Bray et al., 2004) but over the past decade incidence has stabilised or decreased in many developed countries (Canfell et al., 2008; De Prithwish et al., 2010; Krieger et al., 2010; Daubisse-Marliac et al., 2...

Four common similarity indices used in multivariate descriptive techniques, such as classifications and trellis diagrams, are compared over a range of overlap from 100 to 10 % to a theoretical standard. Only the Bray-Curtis Index (also known as Czekanowski's Quantitative Index, Proportional Similarity and a variety of other names) was found to reflect accurately true similarity. The other indic...
