No.463 Larry and Steve Swanson
No full textTranscript (43 pages) of interview by Erik Solberg with brothers Larry and Steve Swanson, on June 19, 2007This interview is of two brothers talking about their climbing and skiing experiences. Larry (b. 1936) and Steve (b. 1938) both graduated from the University of Minnesota in engineering. Larry came out to Utah to work for Sperry UNIVAC and started climbing with the Wasatch Mountain Club in 1961. Two years later Steve moved to Utah to work in the aerospace industry. Both climbed and were weekend volunteers for the National Ski Patrol for thirty years, working a few years at Solitude and then at Park West (future Canyons Resort). They discuss the origins of their interest in the outdoors, climbing, ski touring and racing, and cycling. Outdoor Recreation Project. Interviewer: Erik Solber

Can the Path be Altered?: Salvaging and Renewing Communities of the Rural Plains
No full textDr. Larry Swanson, Director of the Center for the Rocky Mountain West at the University of Montana, delivered the second-annual lecture on Grassland Conservation and Sustainable Communities on Thursday, April 12, 2007. Dr. Swanson\u27s message that there is hope for rural communities if we act aggressively and immediately was heard by a crowd of 140 at the Great Plains Art Museum in Lincoln, NE. You can learn more about the lecture in the articles below or by visiting www.grasslandfoundation.org. We would like to thank everyone who attended the lecture and those who made the event possible. A special thanks to the co-sponsors of this years lecture: the Center for Great Plains Studies, the Rural Initiative at UNL, the UNL Economics Department, the Center for Grassland Studies, the UNL School of Natural Resources, the RUPRI Center for Rural Entrepreneurship, the Prairie Plains Resources Institute.

Fee status PaidThis application provides methods for identifying nucleic acid ligands capable of covalently interacting with targets of interest. The nucleic acids can be associated with various functional units. The method also allows for the identification of nucleic acids that have facilitating activities as measured by their ability to facilitate formation of a covalent bond between the nucleic acid, including its associated functional unit, and its target.Inventors: Larry Gold, Bruce Eaton, Drew Smith, Matthew Wecker, Kirk Jensen.

PCT number PCT/US1996/006060
Publication date Sep 5, 2000
Filing date May 1, 1996
Priority date May 3, 1995A new class of nucleic acid compounds, referred to as nucleic acid ligands, have been shown to exist that have a specific binding affinity for three dimensional molecular targets, including cell surface macromolecules. The nucleic acid ligands are identified by the method of the invention referred to as the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX), wherein a candidate mixture of nucleic acids are iteratively enriched and the high affinity nucleic acids are amplified for further partitioning. The high affinity nucleic acid ligands are useful in capturing target cells.Inventors: Jensen Kirk, Chen Hang, Morris Kevin N., Stephens Andrew, Gold Larry. Assignee: NeXstar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

No full textIncludes bibliographical references.Motor cortex inhibition is significantly associated with complex bimanual control of the upper extremities. It remains unclear whether this same relationship exists for the lower extremities. We utilized transcranial magnetic stimulation to assess motor cortex inhibition and wireless, inertial sensors to quantify gait variables to assess how cortical inhibition contributes to the control of gait in healthy, young adults. Gait cycle duration variability was significantly correlated to right motor cortex inhibition. The results of this study indicate that motor cortex inhibition may be associated with complex components of gait in a similar fashion to its association with bimanual control
