Two skeletons of the large compsognathid Sinocalliopteryx gigas include intact abdominal contents. Both specimens come from the Jianshangou Beds of the lower Yixian Formation (Neocomian), Liaoning, China. The holotype of S. gigas preserves a partial dromaeosaurid leg in the abdominal cavity, here...

Lipidomics of Biological Samples for the Assessment of Physiological and Pathological Processes
DownloadFall 2020
Lipids are a large class of hydrophobic molecules involved in energy storage, signaling, modulation of gene expression and membranes. Lipidomics focuses on the comprehensive analysis of lipids and their interactions. Although the potential of lipidomics to study physiological and pathological...

Preservation of Tissue Structures in Late Cretaceous Vertebrate Remains from Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2020
Here I investigate the rates of preserved original organic tissue and their quality within vertebrate bones that were preserved during the late Cretaceous of Alberta. Specimens recovered from the Dinosaur Park Formation provide a baseline for comparison to four other Alberta Formations (Brazeau,...

Purification and characterization of an anaerobically induced alanine aminotransferase from barley roots
Download1992
Alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT, EC 2.6.1.2) is an enzyme that is induced under anaerobic conditions in cereal roots. In barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots, there are a number of isoforms of AlaAT. We have identified the anaerobically induced isoform and have purified it to homogeneity. The...
