The CERES-Maize model was developed to investigate how variations in environmental conditions, management decisions, and genetics interact to a€ect crop development and growth. A tile drainage subroutine was incorporated into CERES-Maize to improve soil-water and nitrogen leaching under subsurface tile drainage conditions. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the soil-water, soil-nitrogen, ...

The radiation budget at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) is a quantity of fundamental importance to the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program. Thus, it is necessary to measure the radiation budget components, broadband shortwave (SW) albedo and outgoing longwave radiation, as accurately as possible. Measurement of TOA broadband albedos over the ARM surface sites has only been possible ...

Philosophical analyses may be pursued via a myriad of methods in service of as great a multitude of goals. Frequently the data upon which an analysis rests, and from which it receives its original inspiration, recount systematic connections between diverse realms of discourse or diverse sets of facts, events, actions, or objects. The aim of the project is elucidating the underlying logical, con...

Styrene is pneumotoxic in mice. It is metabolized by pulmonary microsomes of both mouse and rat to styrene oxide (SO), presumed to be the toxic metabolite of styrene, and known to be genotoxic. To determine which pulmonary cell types are responsible for styrene metabolism, and which cytochromes P450 are associated with the bioactivation of styrene, we isolated enriched fractions of mouse and ra...

At the turn of the century scholars of Egyptian art were startled by the appearance of life-size portrait heads in excavations at Gizeh, the site of a large necropolis of the Old Kingdom. Until their discovery it was considered an almost invariable rule that private sculpture of the period represented types, not individuals. The Sheikh el Beled and several other representations of individuals w...

The Clara cells are nonciliated, nonmucous, secretory cells containing characteristic peptidergic granules; they constitute up to 80% of the epithelial cell population of the distal airways. Despite this exposed histotopology and abundance within the terminal airways where fluid secretion is of pivotal importance, the functional role of the Clara cells remained poorly understood. At the transcr...
