The nucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding the human substance P precursor, beta-preprotachykinin (beta-PPT), has been determined. source mRNA was a laryngeal carcinoid tumour that contained high concentration immunoreactive P. beta-PPT polypeptide is 129 amino acids long and contains regions neurokinin A, each flanked by basic acid residues. Residues 72-107 encode neuropeptide K, an N-terminally extended form A recently isolated from porcine brain.
Abstract Urban‐rural differences in environmental concern are the primary way that place has been conceptualized within social bases of framework, yet there little convergence empirical findings to support such differences. We assess influence permanent residence and other sociodemographic measures approach alongside two social‐psychological constructs: attachment outlook. Our work focuses on second homeowners three rural, natural amenity communities northeastern United States ( n = 405)....
The claim by the United States to a right of what has come be known as “preemptive selfdefense” provoked deep anxiety and soul-searching among members college international lawyers. Some have feared that signaled demand for prospective legitimation “Pearl Harbor” types actions, is, sudden, massive, destructive military actions “out blue,” one state against another in absence war, with objective militarily neutralizing or even eliminating latent potential adversary. Since some public...
Abstract Urbanization, climate, and ecosystem change represent major challenges for managing water resources. Although systems are complex, a need exists generalized representation of these to identify important components linkages guide scientific inquiry aid management. We developed an integrated Structure‐Actor‐Water framework ( iSAW ) facilitate the understanding transitions sustainable systems. Our goal was produce interdisciplinary resources research that could address management...
Traditional flood risk paradigms and associated strategies are no longer sufficient to address global adaptation challenges due climate change continued development in floodplains. The current approach is failing take advantage of the benefits provided by intact ecosystems perpetuates social economic inequities, leaving those who most vulnerable at highest risk. Rooted experiences United States, we propose a new framework, Flood Adaptation Hierarchy, which prioritizes outcomes into six...
Abstract Culture clash, or intracommunity tensions related to rapid in‐migration, between permanent and newcomer residents has been well studied in relation environmental conservation natural amenity communities; however, less is known about culture clash within communities characterized by high rates of second home ownership. We examine the causes perceived U . S Northern Forest using mail survey data from four case studies N ew Y ork, V ermont, H ampshire, M aine. In contrast past...
Ownership of agricultural land by absentee owners (individuals who do not reside permanently on their land) is the rise worldwide, yet researchers and conservation practitioners know very little about these landowners, what influences management decisions, use varying information sources. Our study focuses (1) how landowners vary in terms upon decision making regarding (2) how, or if, this variance predicts sources land. The findings show three distinct groups landowner classes: Minimal...
The data on which the following paper is based were obtained from 188 sets of answers to well-known questions Mr. Francis Galton ' Visualizing and other Allied Faculties.'Of these, 37 came members classes 1881 1882 in Princeton College, kindly furnished writer by Professor H. F. Osborn, then Princeton, now Columbia College.*The remaining 151 collected four successive classes, 1890-93, Wesleyan University.The answers, as a whole, represent American student latter half his college life (junior...
Abstract Efforts to enhance carbon sequestration, including afforestation and reforestation, are critical strategies meet the New York State (NYS) climate goals. In NYS, converting underutilized lands mature forests can mitigate 4.9 million metric tons of CO2 annually, but 97% suitable privately owned. These mitigation figures do not consider landowner willingness grow forest. Drawing on a survey 979 NYS landowners, we explored interest in growing forest, potential barriers, how they be...
Despite widespread adoption of conservation practices by farmers in the Cannonsville watershed, part New York City water supply system, there is considerable resistance to riparian buffer Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Traditional approaches promoting CREP adoption, based on adoption-diffusion model, were not effective CREP. We surveyed watershed evaluate factors affecting adoption. Many variables commonly tied practice including farm structure and farmer sociodemographic...
We have examined the ability of nonionic detergents to solubilize thyroid peroxidase from a porcine particulate fraction, as measured by release activity into supernatant fraction after centrifugation at 105,000 X g for 1 hour and retardation Sepharose 6B. The parameters solubilization Triton X-100 been investigated in detail. Under optimum conditions, 60 95% thryoid about 50% total protein is released g, 1-hour supernatant. conditions established with X-100, series Brij different chemical...
After decades of effort and investment to promote the use agricultural best management practices (BMPs) address nutrient losses from farms, level adoption most BMPs remains relatively low. One increasingly common response has been involve stakeholders more directly in research on local water quality challenges, with twin goals improving science engaging residents diagnosis problems development effective responses. This paper uses qualitative quantitative data assess impacts a multiyear...

Many agricultural landscapes are rapidly transitioning to more heterogeneous land uses with diverse types of landowners. While previous research has focused on conservation practice adoption among landowners, we use an efficacy theory framework contrast riparian management behaviors across full-time farmers, part-time and residential We conducted semistructured interviews landowners organization representatives within urbanizing watershed in central Pennsylvania. Interviews buffers,...
Just and equitable access to public lands is of critical importance. A key dimension the sense inclusion, or how people feel welcome belonging in space. We analyzed trail users experienced inclusion within a greenspace eastern Pennsylvania, USA. found that color felt less included than whites while on trail, even when controlling for use behaviors, demographic characteristics, other factors. For all users, more positive place meanings associated with their visit social interaction increased...
We have investigated the interaction between concanavalin A-agarose (Con A-agarose) and thyroid peroxidase, an integral membrane protein found in 105,000 X g, 1-h particulate fraction of tissue. An intact form porcine peroxidase was obtained by solubilization with nonionic detergent Triton X-100 two fragmented, hydrophilic forms enzyme were prepared trypsin treatment membrane. The three types bind to Con can be eluted alpha-methyl-D-mannoside. alpha-methyl-D-mannoside eluate most purified...
