Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a plant pathogenic bacteria which incites
crown gall tumors. Although virulence has been associated with a
97-156 Mdalton "tumor-inducing" (Ti) plasmid, few potential plasmid gene
products have been identified. The objective of this study was to
identify plasmid-coded gene products through a comparison of protein
fingerprints of...
Community colleges are in a strategic position to meet the growing demands for educating a population that is in a dynamic state of change, a population that is becoming more diverse with each passing year. A diverse population and other critical issues have created a new challenge for community colleges....
This paper explores the language theories of Gary Snyder, an important modern environmental author whose early work was associated with the Beat movement of the early 1950's. I am particularly interested in Snyder's thoughts on how language relates to nature. I focus primarily on Snyder's prose in attempts to understand...
This dissertation examines the impact of the German naturalist and literary figure Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s ideas on twentieth century Anglophone plant morphology and biology. Goethe interpreted the organ forms of flowering plants as metamorphoses of each other. His literary, historical, and philosophical writings suggest themes of alienation from and...
Some of the problems concerning the present educational programs
which confront the institutions of higher education are, reviewed.
Resources allocation is at the root of the issue.
Budgeting orientations are presented with special emphasis on
Planning Programming Budgeting Systems. PPBS is still in its
developmental stage in the field of...
The OSU global coupled atmosphere/ocean general circulation
model (A/O GCM) has been used to simulate the present (lxCO₂)
climate and to investigate a CO₂-induced (2xCO₂) climate change.
Previous analysis of the lxCO₂ simulation showed distinct errors in
the simulated sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice which were
attributed primarily...
An analytical tool to assist municipal planners in evaluating
alternative planning strategies is proposed. Schlager's Land Use
Plan Design Model provides the linear formulation of the problem,
Goal Programming is used to create alternatives, and Brown and Kirby's
Measures of Urban Performance serve to evaluate the alternatives.
Resource Planning and...
Line balancing is concerned with the optimal assignment of work
elements to individual operators in an assembly tine of a mass producing
system.
This paper summarizes the assembly line balancing terminology,
the computational methods, and objective functions applicable to a wide
variety of assembly lines. Single and mixed-model situations for...
