The biological preparation of aflatoxins was accomplished by
culturing the mold Aspergillus flavus on various media. Aflatoxin
was isolated by chloroform extraction of the culture, and purified
by column fractionation and crystallization. Rice, wheat, soya bean,
peanut and YES media were found to give high yields of aflatoxin. It
was...
Some important factors that affect the dimensional
control of oxide films on silicon were studied. Both N- and
P-type silicon with resistivities in the range of
0.014 to 200 ohm-cm and a (111) surface orientation
were employed in this experiment. The etching rates of
silicon dioxide in hydrofluoric acid (111)...
Chemical and microbial analyses were made at four seasonal intervals on soil horizons under red alder, conifers, and mixed
alder-conifers at the Cascade Head Experimental Forest, established in 1937 by the U. S. Forest Service near Otis, Oregon.
Microbial analyses showed that although plate counts of molds and bacteria fluctuated...
This paper is concerned with the design of a 21-bit
metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)
integrated circuit static shift register.
This circuit consists of three separate 1, 4, and
16-bit static shift registers constructed on a single
monolithic chip, each with independent input and output
terminals.
Type D flip-flops are used...
This histochemical study deals with the changing patterns of
glycogen in the uterus of the immature virgin, cycling virgin, and
post partum (non-lactating) golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus
Waterhouse). The periodic acid-Schiff technique was used for the
histochemical localization of glycogen in the uterus of the immature,
cycling and non-lactating post...
The catabolism of glucose by proliferating and resting cells of
two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been examined, with
respect to the nature and participation of concurrent glucose pathways
by means of the radiorespirometric method. The nicotinamide
nucleotide content, and nicotinamide nucleotide oxidase activities
in these cells were also examined....
Existing methods for the estimation of relative participation of
glucose catabolic pathways make use of yield data of respiratory
¹⁴CO₂ or intermediary ¹⁴C products derived from glucose substrates
specifically labeled with ¹⁴C. Cumulative yields of respiratory
¹⁴CO₂ observed at the end of time course of complete substrate
utilization are analyzed...
In the present study, processed soymilks prepared by various
manufacturing methods were examined for quality by physical and
chemical methods. Viscosity, pH, soluble solids, total solids, fat
and protein content were used as indicators of quality. The principal
factor investigated was the protein content as measured by the
dye-binding procedure....
Little is known regarding the catabolic mechanisms involved
in the breakdown of glucose in mung bean (Phaseolus aureus)
seedlings. Studies in other laboratories have shown that the TCA
cycle pathway is operative in mung bean leaves, and have demonstrated
the presence of enzymes for the oxidation of glucose to
glucuronic...
Many different strains of yeast have been isolated from the natural
microflora on fruits. It has been known for some time that these
strains of yeast have distinct fermentation characteristics and, when
used in the production of wine, impart these characteristics to the
wine. These characteristics may be evidenced in...
