1881 Minutes of the Kings Mountain Baptist Association

The 1881 meeting of the Kings Mountain Baptist Association took place at Buffalo Church (present day: Buffalo Baptist Church) in Blacksburg, SC. The introductory sermon was delivered by W.A. Nelson. This meeting celebrated the Association\u27s thirtieth anniversary. The Association recommends discontinuing the use, sale, or manufacturing of alcoholic beverages. The Committee on Education recommends providing more educational resources for both girls and boys.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/kmba-minutes/1028/thumbnail.jp

Real exchange rate dynamics in transition economies : a nonlinear analysis

We examine the behavior of the real exchange rates of nine transition economies during the 1990s. We propose an empirical model rationalized on the basis of standard economic models in the tradition of Mundell-Fleming-Dornbusch and Harrod-Balassa-Samuelson, allowing explicitly for real interest rate differentials and (implicitly) for productivity differentials to have an impact on real exchange rate equilibrium and employing nonlinear modeling techniques that are consistent with recently developed economic theories and observed regularities. Using a nonlinear multivariate generalization of the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition applied to our models, we also identify the permanent and temporary components of these real exchange rates implied by our estimates. The results have a natural interpretation and clear policy implications

The significance of atmospheric nutrient inputs and canopy interception of precipitation during ecosystem development in piñon-juniper woodlands of the southwestern USA

In arid ecosystems, widely spaced vegetation and prolonged dry periods may enhance canopy capture of nutrients from dry deposition. Additionally, differences in precipitation type, plant canopy architecture, and soil nutrient limitation could affect canopy exchange of atmospherically derived nutrients. We collected bulk precipitation and throughfall underneath piñon pine (. Pinus edulis) and one-seed juniper (. Juniperus monosperma) along a substrate age gradient to determine if canopy interception or throughfall chemistry differed among tree species, season, or substrate age. The Substrate Age Gradient of Arizona consists of four sites with substrate ages ranging from 1ky to 3000ky-old, which exhibit classic variations in soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability with substrate age. Greater nutrient inputs below canopies than in intercanopy areas suggest throughfall contributes to the "islands of fertility" effect. Canopy interception of precipitation did not differ between tree species, but was greater in the summer/fall than winter/spring. We found that net canopy retention of atmospherically derived N was generally greater when N availability in the soil was low, but retention also occurred when N availability was relatively high. Taken together, our results were inconclusive in determining whether the degree of soil nutrient limitation alters canopy exchange of plant growth-limiting nutrients. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd

Versatility of NaCl transport mechanisms in the cortical collecting duct

Versatility of NaCl transport mechanisms in the cortical collecting duct. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 313: F1254 –F1263, 2017. First published September 6, 2017; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00369.2017.—The cortical collecting duct (CCD) forms part of the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron and plays an essential role in maintaining the NaCl balance and acid-base status. The CCD epithelium comprises principal cells as well as different types of intercalated cells. Until recently, transcellular Na transport was thought to be restricted to principal cells, whereas (acid-secreting) type A and (bicarbonate-secreting) type B intercalated cells were associated with the regulation of acid-base homeostasis. This review describes how this traditional view has been upended by several discoveries in the past decade. A series of studies has shown that type B intercalated cells can mediate electroneutral NaCl reabsorption by a mechanism involving Na-dependent and Na-independent Cl/HCO3 exchange, and that is energetically driven by basolateral vacuolar H-ATPase pumps. Other research indicates that type A intercalated cells can mediate NaCl secretion, through a bumetanide-sensitive pathway that is energized by apical H,K-ATPase type 2 pumps operating as Na/K exchangers. We also review recent findings on the contribution of the paracellular route to NaCl transport in the CCD. Last, we describe cross-talk processes, by which one CCD cell type impacts Na/Cl transport in another cell type. The mechanisms that have been identified to date demonstrate clearly the interdependence of NaCl and acid-base transport systems in the CCD. They also highlight the remarkable versatility of this nephron segment.This work was supported in part by recurring grants from the Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale (INSERM), the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and the University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC).

Cornet Bay Revisited: Placing the Excavations Conducted at 45-IS-31b within a Regional Context

This research re-examines the chronological interpretations of the prehistoric occupation at Comet Bay, Whidbey Island, Washington. Bryan’s excavation in the 1950s produced an assemblage that he felt illustrated a transition from a terrestrial to maritime economy. Important aspects of the site, such as the possible existence of a house structure, and the additional artifacts collected by Nelson, also in the 1950s, have not been adequately described in the literature. This research integrates Bryan and Nelsons’ excavations, utilizes diagnostic artifact in assigning chronological interpretations, and evaluates the house structure and artifact assemblage in light of more recent excavations and interpretations
